 The following dialogue occurred on one ofour street corners the other day 1:

The Prospects or the Campaign.

The New York Round Table is an able literary journal, with Republican tendencies. After the nomination of Governor Seymour it predicted his de- feat. But in its issue of August 22d it takes it back:
 "Did we judge merely from indica- tions on the surface, this conviction might remain unchanged. We have, however, become persuaded that there is a powerful undercurrent ofpopular dissatisfaction with Radical rule and Radical measures which is gaining. rather than losing strength with the passage of time, and that, consequent ly, the chances, which at present we estimate as nearly even, may incline in November, in a victorious degree, to the Democratic side. Y
 From present indications, however we are led to believe that the three great States of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio will throw themselves into the seal {Qr S8ymonr and Blair: and, shouid they do so, not all the hosts of Nsw England, hackcd AsAthey may be by the West and South, by voters black or white, Constitutional or unconstitu- tional, will avail to prevent the Repub- lican forces from kicking the beam"

Keep out of Debt.

Half the pcrplexity, annoyance and trouble that men have in this world, is a consequence of getting into deht. It seems to be natural for some people to buy and incur obligations without measure, so long as he can avoid paying ready cash. Give one of this sort q chance to buy on credit, and the ques- tions of price and conditions of pay mentar matters that he cares but little about. But what a crop of trouble springs up from the seed of debt. How many sleepless nights result from it; how many gray hair it's trouble brings, and how often it shortens life, sometimes leading men to murder. And yet how easy thing it is to keep clear of this terrible monster, With the exception of cases when sickness. &c., compel poor persons to incur debt for their maintenance, there is but little necessity for getting into such trouble. Every young man should form firm Nit0 uhAitNiaOlG DtIOIo commencing his active business career, not to incur one dollar ofindebtedness under any circumstances. Never buy anything unless you have the money to pay for it at once. Pay no attention to splendid opportunities, bargains, rare chances, and tho like. Such affairs are only traps which debt sets to catch victims. If you see anything that you like to buy, or if any offer is made that you would like to accept, look first at your money pile, and make the answer depend npon that. Always pay as you go. If you are short of money, guage your demands accord
 ingly. Foster habits of economy, live
 within your means, buy nothing that
 you cannot afford, and you will go
 through life free from the miseries and
 troubles that beset the path of the
 debtor.

Rough but Graphic.

A Jew friend of mine was placed at night on the banks of the river with S7,000 worth of goods. In the morning there was not remnant of property left. Why did they send them back?

Rur,ed Tn the Gray.

Augustus Carson, respectable col bred man died at Franklin, Tenn, last Monday night. Early in the war he at tached himself to the cause of the Con- fedracy and steadily followed it's ban ners till the last of the struggle. Through good and evil report, whether the sun of victory shed light and hope upun the cause he served, or whether clouds of defeat lowered upon him and his associates in arms, he was ever brave, hopeful and dauntless When this cause was finally lost he returned to his old home, and has since acted with only the Democratic party. Du- ring the illness which terminated in his death Carson repeatedly expressed the wish that his body should be attir- ed in suit of Confederate gray, and that some ofhi old friends should at tend his remains to their last resting place. His desire in both respects was fully carried out. His funeral was largely attended by the people of Franklin and its vicinity.

Make Horne Cheerful.

It is easy to do so... Be your home ever so plain let it be neat. Hang pictures on the walls, if they are but plain prints they tell sweet stories to childhood, and shed a cheerful in- fluencc over older lives. Have grass plot with flowers and shrubbcry in the yard. They cost but little effort, and less money, and are source of perpe- tual delight. Make nests for the birds near the house, and invite them to come and dwell with you, and they will repay you with music, rich, melo- dious and pure.--Bring books oftravel, history biography, science and litera- ture, and papers and magazines, repre- senting every phase of thought, into your home and ignorance, boorisheness, diseontent, and vice will flee from it, and intelligence, culture and reiine- ment, virtue and happiness become perpetual guests,

ALL THERE.--A whole family in Heaven! Who can picture or describe the everlasting dayP No one absent ; nor father, nor mother, nor son, nor daughter are away. In the world be- low they were united in faith, in love and peace, and joy. On the morning of the resurrection they ascend to- gether. Before the thrown they bow together in united adoration. On the banks of the river of life they walk hand in Hand, and, as a family, have commenced career of glory which shall be everlasting. There is to be hereafter no separation in that family. No one is to lie down upon bed oi pain no one to wander in the arms of death. Never, in Heaven, is that family to move along in the slow pro cession, clad ill the habiliments of woe, to consign one of its members to the tomb. God grant that, in his infinite mercy, every family may be thus united.

Genius.

It is one of the mysteries of life that
 genius, that nobrcst gift of God to man,
 is nourished by poverty. It's greatest works have been achieved by the sor- rowing ones of the world in tears and despair. Not in the brilliant saloon
 furnished with every comfort and ele- gance, not in the library we'll fitted, softly carpeted, and looking out upon smooth lawn or broad expansc of scenery not in ease and competence is genius born and nurtured, but more frequently in diversity and Restitution, amidst the harrassing cares of strait ened household, in bare and firclcss garrets, with the noise of squaIid chil- dren, in the midst of domestic conten- tions, and in tho deep gloom of un- cheered despair, is genius born and reared. This its birthplace, and in scenes like these, nnpropituous, repul- sive, wretched, have men labored and trained themselves until they have ai last emanated out of the gloom of that obscurity; the shining lights of thcii times--become the companions oi kings, the guides and teachers of theii kind, and exercised an influence upon the thoughts of the world amounting to a species of intellectual legislation

The Horse and his qualities.

The following hints from the Ameri- can Farmer's Horse Book will be use full to farmers:
 "Thc qualities of the sire, of more importance than all others, arc his capabilities ofendurance and kindliness of disposition. The former depends mainly upon soundness of wind, com pactncss of muscle, and proper form. His limbs should not be too long, but trim and clean, and his joints round and we'll set.s The hips is tho most essential points to be looked atin re- gard to the horse, as in them and his hind limbs lies his great power. But the shoulders must not be neglected; !; they should be broad, not high and sharp, but round over the top.
 For the average farm horses of this country. about sixteen hands is the most desirable height. Much above or below this standard is objectionable. A horse, with full form aud we'll developed muscle, it is preferable to have below rather than above sixteen hands high. The color of the hair is an indication of some importance. A deep dark bay is the best color for strength an endurance, and generally the most desirable qualities as rcgrads disposition. The iron grey is the next, then the black, and, as the shades grow more and more light, they become increasingly objectionable. Whatever the color of the horse, the manc and tail should be darker than the hair of the body. Beware of that horse with dark hair and light mane and tail. Fine, short hair bctokens fine blood, and coarse, long hair the reverse; yet there are. some breeds of horses with long hair and totally lacking any sign of fine blood, that undoubtedly possess great powers of endurance.
