A WORD TO YoUao Wishing and
signing, imagining and dreaming OF great
ncss, said William Writ, will not make
you great But cannot young man COM
mand his energies? Read Foster on de-
cision of character. This hook will tell
you what is in your power TO accomplish.
You must gird up your loins and go to
work with all the indomtable energy Of
Napoleon scaling the Alps. 1t is your
duty TO make the most OF time. talent
and opportunity. Alfred the King OF
England, though ho performed more busi-
ne.s than any of ais subjects, found time
TO study Franklin in the midst of his
labors, had time to dive into the depths of
philosophy, and explore an untroddcn
path of science. Frederick the Great,
with an empire Mt his direction, in the
midst of war and on the eve of battle,
found time to revel in the charms of
philosophy, and feast on the luxuries of
science. Napoleon with Europe at his
disposal, with kings in his ante chamber,
at the head of thousands of men, whose
dcstinies were suspended on arbitrary
pleasure. found time to converse with
books. And young men who are confined
to labor or business even twelve hours
day, may take IN hour and hall Of what
is left for study, and this will amount to
two months in the course of the year.

moment is high, would be only to insure
for both parties disappointment and loss
in fact, to check the prosperity which the
past year has begun to develop through
out the South Then, again, it is of the
greatest Importance that as much wheat
and corn and provisions be planted as was
planted the past year. 1t is desirable
that cotton should be the leading, but not
the only, production. A disregard OF this
idea was the error Of the first year alter
the war, and short brcadstuffs crops in
Europe put up the prices of corn and
wheat to figures which resulted in the
fearful distress of the winter of lSG7-6S.
We think Il little caution now on these
points would be of incstimable value to
the South for years to come. Not that
VIC desire a small crop of cotton to be
raised-for we believe tho true interests
of the cotton States demand large crop
and low prices, which will drive out com
pctition-but simply that the greatest
economy in production be used, no con
tract for labor based on present rates for
cotton be made, and sufficient supply OF
food products be put in to make that sec
ton independent of others for their daily
bread The observance of these precau-
tions will insure prosperous year for the
South, and do much toward imparting ac-
tivity to the industries of the whole coun'

proofs unanswcrablc Of the purity and medicinal

A Little Strange.

On Wednesday laa, as we are inform,
ed, Messrs Mills and GRAHAM, who live
beyond the Natural Dam, on Lees Creek,
In this county, brought into town de
ranged man by the name of c. w. HEN
DRlx, who had been running about their
neighborhood for several days-they
took this unfortunate man before Esquire
LYTTLr, who ordered them "to set him
across the river and let him go"-that
Crawford county had been imposed on
enough in having paupers shipped to it
for support.
The party in question started to the
ferry with their man, but instead OF set
ting him across turned to the right across
the spur of the mountain, passing over
gulches and breaks that looked almost
impossible, to the mouth Of Lees Creek,
and there left their charge in the wild
woods and turned loose with him a small
poney, leaving saddlebags Of clothing
in which was butcher knife with Mr..
MILL's name on the handle.
Our efficient Deputy Sheriff, Mr. SHAN
NON, hearing of the matter and fearing
that "sll was not right" took this un-
fortunate man, who had returned TO town
some time during the night, and confined
him in the county jail--took the trail Of
the party, recovered the clothing, knife
and pony. H'...
1t does look passing strange that
Crawford county can afford to pay Off
cials good fees in lille State cases-and
then cannot take care of a poor untortu
nate man like this Mr.. SHANNON ha,
written to the Mayor Of Sedalia, No,
and to the wife Of the unfortunate man,
who is supposed to live at Fayetyille,
No, letting them know Of the matter.

tendence; and there is not street in this
city that does not contain some monu-
ment to his industry. His integrity and
devotion to business were provervial !;
and his generosity and Gberaliity vii be
attested by every worthy person, howev-
or unfortunate, who may have had ooea
sion to ask his assistance; while at the

An exchange says; Two daughters Of
Chief Justice Taney, both Of them aged
and destitute, were employed in copying
in the Patent and Pension offices. They
depended upon their places for their sup
port. Alarmed at the number of reno
yals that were taking place around them,
they requested the Hon. Caleb Gushing,
ex-Attorney General, to speak to Gene
efal Grant in their behalf. He did SO,
and assured them he had Grants prom
ise that they should not be disturbed
Their minds were at ease They did not
dream that Grant would break his prom
ise to ladies, probably not knowing that
he had done this repeatedly. But neith-
er their condition, nor the memory of
their illustrious father, nor Grants word,
nor all combined could save them. They
have been dismissed, and the copying
that they did is done by couple of
