Work i!

There can be no doubt of the fact that
in earnest, energetic effort lies the true
secret of success. Our people talk a
great deal of the scarcity of labor, the
necessity Of labor, and the importance of
procuring it from other quarters of the
globe All sorts of emigration projects
are proposed, and from the poor means
of the impoverished people of the South
vast sums have been voted to invite emil
grants from abroad to come in and share
with us the peculiar advantages of our
position. Our Legislative Solons appear
to entertlin so poor an opinion of the in
dustrial powers of our own brave South
ern men that they place on them no reli-
ance whatever. Foreigners can work,
and their services as laborers are highly
priced, but to put our own shoulders to
the wheel and become our own "hewcrs
of wood and drawers of water" is regard
ed by many among us as utterly prepos
terous. Now we opine that public opin.
ion on this matter should be reformed.
and She sooner the better. Our people
must learn to depend upon themselves; ;
they cannot all be masters, and make a
living on the labor of others. Franklin
used to tell us that
(" Hc that by tho plow would thrive
Himself must either hold or drive"
In this couplet there is much more

truth than poetry. BY serfile labor our our
planters used to get on in hap.bazard
fashion; but they were at the constant
mercy of overseers aud creditors, and as
soon as failure came they were utterly
helpless. The truly Independent man is
the one who can help himself-whose.
hands, like those of Paul, 1.-THE tent maker,
can minister 10 his own necessities. Nor
should there be such an effort among the
needy of our people to obtain easy occu-
pations. Hard work carries with it no
degradation. Labor is indeed one of The
truest of humanitarians-one of the most
effective of civilizers-it gives that inde-
pendence without which no man can be
thoroughly free. Young men by thou
sands are .fecking from the country.
where their services are needed as tillers
of the SOIL and in our cities are wasting
their substance and their chances of. nlti-
mate independence as thoroughly as did
the prodgal son who wandered away from
home and was at length reduced to the
sad necessity or ;partakihS OF the iood
which was meted out to swine. The
free, healthy life of an agricuturst is des-
pised,. because slaves once titled, the fields,
and the;slavery ofthe yardstick is accept
ed in its stead as boon for which the
measurer of tape must thank his gener
Gus employer! Such pucrility is un.
worthy of any person who is possessed
of a sound mind in a sound body. Let
us take advantage of our own position,
and instead of coaxing other people to
come and work for us, go to work for
ourselves. If this be not done, not a
single generation will pass away before
the estates of our land.holders. will pass
into other hands. Those who are now
afraid to put,their hands to the plow will
become the helpless mendicnnts of the
future. He who will not help himself
deserves help from no one else.-N. ..

A Good Story.

Judge Ray, the temperance lecturer
in one of his efforts here, got of the fol.
lowing:
Gall of those who in youth acquire a
habit of drinking whiskey, at forty years
of age will be total abstsiners or drunk.
ards. No one can use whiskey for years
in moderation. If there is person in
the audience before me whose experience
disputes this, let him make it known.
will account for it, or acknowledge that
am mistaken.
"A tall large man arose, and folding
his arms in q digniied manner across mis-
breast said:
81 offer myself as one whose expert.
ence contradicts your statement"
"Are you moderate drinker?" said
The Judge.
81 am"
"How long have you drank in mod
eration?"
"Forty years"
"And were never intoxicated?"
"Ncver."
"Well," remarked the Judge, scanning
his subject closely, yours is singular
case; yet | think it is easily accounted
for. | am reminded by it of a little
story: A colored man, with a loaf of
bread and bottle of whiskey, sat down
to dine by the bank of clear stream. In
breaking the bread some of the crumbs
dropped into the water. These were
eagerly seized and eaten by the fish. The
circumstance suggested to the darkey the
idea of dipping the bread into the whis
key and feed it to them. He tried it. 1t

If YOU Want a Kiss Take it.

There's jolly Saxon proverb,
That is pretty much like this,
That u mau is half in heaven
When he has woman'S kiss;
But there's danger in delaying
An! the sweetness may forsake it;
So l tell you. bashiul lover,
you want kiss, why, take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal march ON you in this;
Never let II laughing maiden
Seo you spelling for kiss:
There's Il royal way to kissi' e,
And jolly ones who make i;
Have Il motto tina. is wiuning-
II you want kiss, why, take it.
Any fool can face cannon;
Anybody wear Il crown,
Bat mail must win Il woman.
II fhc'd have her for his own:
Wosld yoa have the golden apple,
Y il must fad the tree and shake it,
If tho thing is worth the having,
And you wan; KISS, why, takcit.
Who would burn upon desert,
With ! forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For y biack'and wintry sky?
Oh l. tell You there is magic,
And You cannot, cannot break 1t;
For the sweetest par, of loving
Is to want kiss, and take it.
