BUILDING CHARACTER.-There is struc-
turc which everybody is building, young and
old, each one for himself 1t is called charac-
ter, and in it every act oflife is stone. If day
by day we be careful to build our lives with
pure, noble, upright deeds, at the end will
stand fair temple, honored by God and
man. But, as one leak will sink ship, and
one flaw break chain, so one mean, untruth-
full act or word will forever leave its impress
and work its influence on our characters.
Then let the several deeds unite to form q
day, and one by one the days grow into no.
BILE years, which, as they slowly pass, will
raise at last beautiful edifce, enduring for
ever to our praise.-Agriculturtst

ed the progress of the Tenure-cf.O Office

There is but little doubt but that the

in the motive Of general welfare or good
of the country, but desire to secure
spoiIs for those in authority, and to per-
petuate party power.

STOLE HIS HAT.

On Saturday last while Solicitor TAI
EEY was busily engaged in his room, a
negro man who had indicted several 9TH
er negroes for stealing his hogs, called on
the Solicitor on business in that connec-
ton. A short time after he had left the
room. Mr.. TALLEY missed his hat; and
as no one else had been in the room, the
conclusion was natural that the negro
had stolen it. Mr.. T. went in pur-
suit and soon found the thief, but did
not recover his hat. The negro was
arrested and bound over for trial.
