PRoxrrsEss.-Prompti,ess is 4
cardinal virtue. Nothing noble
in life can be achieved without ii.
With it all difficulties vanish, ali
obstacles disappear. The prompt
man is the successful man. He
takes time by the forelock. The
opportunity comes and he seizes
it. Luck is on his side. The
force Of nature takes his part
and acts with him. Promptness
is not rashness. It never acts
blindly It does not waste. it's
strength in random blows. It
strikes at the right moment and
in the right place. 1t sees clear.
ly and acts a wise decision.., It
does not put of till Tomorrow
what it can do to-day. g.:

BRAIN WoRK AND MANUAL La
BoR. There is a volume oftruth
and reason in the following from
the Herald Of Health:
z. 1.-The worker with his brains
wolld love brain work more If
ha bad y cnnnla hnnrs hard vnrk
to do every day. If such per-
SONS could have their gardens aud
shops to run to when their heads
were sired, they would soon re-
cuperate, ard the muscular toll
not being in excess would soon
be . delight II. on the other
hand, the ~toiler with the hand
could do daily some mental Ia
Dor. it would add greatly to his
happiness, The sharpening ol
the brain by culture would add
effectiveness to the hand. The
reason for this, is because man is
a composite being. His muscles
were not made for non-use more
than his brain; and the right use
of each IS a pleasure aid not q
pain. After . few generations
we shall have what is now thu
prayer Of thousands, more cul'
ture for the laboring man, aud
more physical labor for the cul
tured man. This will establish .
harmony between the two, which
will add greatly to the prosperi
ty. happiness and health Of both.

Choice selections, both educational and lit
erary, will be made from the best authors.

sued from the press will receive special

what books are attracting the attention of
the ~litarary world. The contents of lead
ing Magazines. Periodicals. &C., will be
given from time to time that the reader
may know where to find good reading mat
ter. The reviews of books, periodicals,
&C.. shall be honest expressions of opinion
respecting their respective merits. In
addition to these things, short editorial ar
ticles will appear every week. In this
we haze the assistance of able writer's and
leading educators. The people of East
Tennessee ought to be willing to support
a heightened newspaper devoted especially
to the interest of Common Schools.

OUR WINTER EVENINGS.

1t is sometimes very hard Tor young men
to decide in what way they can best spend
their long winter evenings. After the Ia
Dor of the day has been performed, the
mind naturally turns to some kind of re-
creation. At such times, many are easily
drawn away from the path of rectitude by
the allurements hat pleasure is always
ready to hold out to her votaries. In
mere pleasure there is but little if any
happiness, for it is the golden gate through
which the t~houghtless enter into the crook
ed ways of sin, where misery, pain and
death Turk on every hand. Good books
are a never failing means of entertain
ment to those who cultivate a love for
reading. Besides affording entertainment
they are certain preservatives from evil
There is nothing like good books. In no
way can we spend our winter evenings
more proftably than in holding converse
with the minds of the good and great
through the medium of their writings
In this way we can store our own minds
with useful knowledge which will strength
US mentally and morally for the con-
hicts of life.
Young men, what are you doing? How
are you going to spend your winter even
ings? Too many, we fear, are living aim
less and useless lives, with nothing in view
nothing to stimulate to high and noble
action. An illustrious ancestor or rich
uncle, will not avail much now when men
make themselves. Neither can you rely
upon what your fathers have done, but
you must do something for yO:TS-lcss.-
Greatness comesby action-noble. godlike
such as will purify your lives and
lead TO the development of a tree man
hoOd.
Cultivate a love for reading. and you
will never want friends with whom you
may delight to converse during your leis-
ure hours. Study history, for it is phylos-
ophy teaching by example, and in so doing
YOU will be enabled to stand up for tile

The Literary WoTld.

We hear ofton OF the political world.
and from many of the newspapers of the
day, one might infer that there is no other
world. There is, however. a Commercial
World-quite a world too, in its way
The Social World also. is of considerable
Importance, especially that part of it which
is often dlgnifed as the world of fashion.
Several of these worlds are individually as
interesting and as important as the vaunt-
ed political world. There is still another
world, though many people are in no dan
ger of ever seeing it, if they get all their
knowledge from the political papers Of a
certain sort-we mean the literary acorld.
There is a world of literature. It is
already a great world, and is growing larger
and mere interesting every day. All
worlds have their influence, their attrac-
tons and repulsions. The literary world,
though so frequently ignored, is probably
the most powerful in its influence of all
the worlds above named. This is the
world of books, in the making of which
the brain power of ages has been employ
ed. Books and the more thoughtful peri
odicals, arc a great power in civilization.
The poetry of Homer, the writings of Pla-
to and Aristotle, the Orations of Demos
themes and Cicero, have quickened the
thoughts and energies of the world for
more than two thousand years. What a
wonderful influence the immortal plays of
Shakespeare have exerted upon the CEN
turtles since his time
b. his works of fiction, Charles Dick
ems revolutionized Great Britain in its
legislation for the benefit of the poorer
classes. Good books are a blessing to any
people that will read them. They are
multiplying on every hand and should be
circulated freely among the people. We
take it as no small part of an editors duty
to keep his readers well informed in re-
gard to what is interesting, new and ex-
citing in the literary world. If they are
a reading people nothing would please
them more. If they are not a reading
people, the newspaper should be a leading
power in waking them up to tie impor-
lance of more general and solid reading.
1t should tell the people where are the
mines of intellectual gold-where they
ma7 find the richest treasures, and how
they may be rendered most serricable.-
Give them nothing but politics and the
people will be nothing but Politicians
Give them a greater variety of better food
and the people will soon learn to relish 1t.
Let us hear more from the literary world
and more about it.

There can certainly be no greater adj
vantage to any town or community than
good Schools with worthy teachers. We
arc sure there is nothing adds more to the
prosperity and cheerfulness of life, than
the training and information imported by
competent teachers, to those who are placed
under their care. W. visited the Institu-
tute in this place, on Tuesday last-found
the rooms all neat and we'll furnished, and
the different teachers earnestly engaged.
There is now about one hundred and fifty
enrolled scholars, and We venture the as
|~scrtion that no better school, and no better
teachers can be found in the State.
