The road along which the man Of business
travels ia the pursuance of competence or
wealth Is not q Macadamized one, nor does
IL ordinarily lead through pleasant scenes,
and BY welsprings Of delight On the
contrary it is rough and rugged path, be-
set with [" wait-a bit th0rns, and fu1l Of pit
falls, which can only be avoided by the
watchiul care Of eireumspectjoR. After
every days Journey over this worse than
rough turnpike road, the wayfarer needs
something more than rest; he requires soIace
and he deserves 1t. lie is mearg Of the dull
prose of lifei and athirse for the poetry.
Happy IS the business man who can fad
that solace aud that poetry at home
Warm greetings from loving hearts, fond
glances from bright eyes, and welcome
shouts of children, the many thousand little
arrangements for comfort and enjoyment
that silently tell OF thoughtful and expee-
tant love, the gentle ministrations that dis
cucumber rs into an old and easy seat be-
fore we are aware of it; these aud like to-
kens of affection aud sympathy constitute
the poetry which reeonciles us to the prose
of life. Think Of this, ye wives and daugh-
tiers Of business menl Think of the tolls,
the anxiesies, the modification and wear
tat fathers undergo to secure for you CONF
ssrtabe homes, and compensate them for
trials by making them happy by their
fresides

time. Shortly after making the contract,
which was reduced to wrighting, and duly
witnessed, defendant broke his agreement
and actually sold his cotton to another
party, and failed to deliver any portion of
his crop, as agreed, to plaintif at Fulton.
At the time the cotton should have been de-
lived at the designated point, the staple

pound, as was shown in the proof The
case was ably and deliberately argued by
Col. McRea and Col E. NJ. Yerger for the
defense, and Col William a. Stephens and
Judge Thomas R. Smith for plaintiff, each

and Jury at least three hours. On Monday
His Honor charged the Jury, at length, who,

judges interrupting lawyers speeches. 1t
is said that in England an eminent coun-

one of the Vice Chancellors, and the pro-
