I CHHLIcoTHE.-Hon. J. w. Dixon
gave the quietus to Ice r. Seaton,
(who imagines himself running
against our ono legged soldier God
ley,) at Chillicothe on last Saturday
evening in joint debate. We presume
we shall hear no moro of Mr.. Seaton
during his gallant raid after one leg
ged soldiers, as a joint discussionist.
In this role he is failure, especially
if Dixon is about.
Capt. Hutchinson also spoke short
time, "and everything is lovely and
the goose hangs high" in Cass town
ship.

Thoughts for Every Day.

lie is rich whose income is more
than his expenses.
Lazincss travels so slow that pov-
crty ovcrtakes it.
Who gives Of his suporfluity does
good to others, who gives Of his me-
cessity does good to himself.
1t is immortality that makes life Il
desirable blessing. Without this it
would be but an Improbable and
burdensome trihe, preserved with
anxiety and quilted with terror.
In matters Of great concern, and
which must be done, there is no
surcr argument of a weak mind
than irresolution to be undcter-
mined where the case is so plain and
the necessity is SO urgent; to DO all
ways intending to lead q new life,
but never to find time to begin.
Horace Mann says that I" teacher
who attempts to teach without in
spring the pupil with a desire to
learn, is hammcring cold iron."
The counsols of the good cannot
benefit us, nor the seductions of the
the wicked injnrc us without our
own free consent. Our wisdom and
our folly are our own and wc must
reap their fruits here and hereafter.
That was good remark of Sene-
ca: "Great is he who enjoys his
earthenware as if it were plate and
not less great is the man to whom
all his plate is no more than carthcn-
ware"
If the Spring put forth no BIOS
SONS, in the Summer is no beauty,
and in Autumn there is no fruit. So
