THE ART OF THINKING.

One of the best modes of improv
ing is the art of thinking over some
subject before you read it, and then
to observe after what manner it has
occurred to the mind of some great
master. You will then observe
whether you have been too rash OF
too timid, what you have exceeded,
and by this process you will insen-
sibly catch great manner of view
ing question. 1t is right in study,
not only to think whenever any ex-
traordinary incident provokes you
to think, but from time to time, what
has passed; to dwell upon It, and
see what trains of thought volun-
tarily present themselves to the
mind.
1t is most superior habit of some
minds to refer all the particular
truths which strike them to other
truths more general, so that their
knowledge is beautifully methodized,
and the general truth at any time
suggests all the particular exempli-
fications, or any particular exempli-
fication, at once leads to the gener-
al truth. This kind of understand
ing has an immense and decided su-
periority over those confused heads
in which one fact is piled upon an
other without the least attempt at
classification and arrangement.
Some men always read with a pen
in their hand, and commit to paper
any new thought which strikes
them; others trust to chance for its
temperance. Which of these is
the best method in the conduct of
the understanding, must, ] suppose,
depend great deal upon the pecu-
liar understanding in question.
Some men can do nothing without
preparation; others little with it;
some are fountains, others reser-
voirs.-Sydney Smith.

LIFE'S CHANGES.
These lines are worthy of Scotland's poet
James Montgomerv:

These lines are worthy of Seotland's poet
lanes Montgomery:
Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost a friendl
There is no union here of hearts.
That has not here an end.
Were this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown,
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
Till all are passed away; .
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day.
Nor sink those stars in empty night;
But hide themselves in Heavens own light.

One of the papers relates that a
farmer, finding a dozen of his men
idly stretched out on the ground,
offered dollar to the one who was
the LATEST of the lot. Eleven jump
ed up, asserting their claims to the
reward, each declaring himself ''the
LATEST dog in the universe" How
ever, the farmer gave the dollar to
the twelfth, who had slothfully kept
his position, and who, when the re-
ward was offered him, murmured,
Cant you put it in my pocket?'
"Tom," said a girl to her sweet
heart, "you have been playing
your distresses to me long enough.
1t is time you made known your
contentious, so as not to keep me on
suspense any longer"
Aman having fallen into slough,
an Irishman, standing by, called
loudly to another for assistance.
The latter, who was busily engaged
in cutting a log, leisurely inquired,
"How deep is he in?" up to his
ankles" "Then there is plenty of
time," said the other. mo, there is
not" rejoined the first, 81 forgot to
tell you he's in head first"
The editor who kissed his sweet
heart. saying, "Please exchange" is
believed not to have exceeded the
proper liberty of the press.

YOUNG MEN, SAVE PART OF YOUR
MONEY.

We urge upon all young men,
who are just starting in life, to make
it an invariable rule to lay aside a
certain portion of their income,
whatever that income may be.
Extravagant expenditures occasion
a very large part of the suferings of
a great majority of people. And ex-
travagance is wholly relative term.
What is not at all extravagant for
one person may be very extravagant
for another. Expenditures-no mat
ter how small IN themselves they
be-are always extravagant when
they come fully up to the entire
amount of a PERSONS whole income.
The mode of living is almost en-
tirely matter of habit. 1t is just
as easy to get along with three
fourths of your income-what the
amount of it may be-as on the
whole of it, if you only think so,
and restrict your expenditures ac-
cordingly.
The thousand inconvenience OF
debt, embarrassment and depend
ence may all be avoided by a firm
and undertaking adhesion to this
rule.
One great aid in pursuing the
course which we have recommend
ed will be found in keeping an accu-
rate account of all receipts and ex-
penditures. By frequent reference
to this you will see just what you
can afford to expend, without en-
croaching upon your rule; and you
will also see what of your expend-
itures you can most conveniently
curtail, or cut off entirely.
There is a great deal, too, in re-
fection and foresight, in the ex-
penditure of your money. 1t is a
very common remark that one per-
son will make the same amount go
twice as far as another. This is ow-
ing to the employment of greater
prudence and judgment in buying.
any amount of money can
be thrown away and scarcely any
thing obtained for it, by a thought
less, careless spendthrift.
We despise skinfiints. But econ
omy and meanness are by no means
identical. On the contrary, as it is
easy for any one to see, an unselfish,
judicious economy wise saving
furnishes the means not only of in
dependence, but of benevolence and
generosity also.

A Lady, who was suffering under
a slight indisposition, told her hus-
band that it was with the greatest
difficulty she could breathe, and the
effort distressed her exceedingly.
Il wouldn't try, my dear sooth
ingly responded the husband. But
she did try; and was not distressed
in that way again.

The Attempted Fraud i'm the Mat
ter Of School Hooks.

The public are indebted to the At
torney General, who is er-o6icio member
of the Board of Education, for his OPP
perfume exposure of the vile scheme of
the State Superintendent, HI. r. Pease,
to induce the County Boards to combine
their patronage in favor of certain pub
fishers to the exclusion of all others" at
a cost estimated (by the Attorney Gener-
alb at THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND Dol
LARS.
A more glaring imposition could not
have been attempted upon the tax-pay-
ers. 1t is reasonable inference that the
State Superintendent himself is to re-
ceive considerable share of the profits
of the scheme if it has not been spoiled
by the vigilance of the Attorney General.
In another column, we have published
his supplemental circular explanatory Of
his first 1t is feeble effort to extricate
himself from the disgraceful dilemma in
which his discovered speculation has left
him. He pleads that his original circular
was issued at his own instance, not by
concurrence of the Board: which is pre-
cisely what is charged by the Attorney
General Nevertheless, he is convicted
by his own confession of using the inilu
ence of his office to accomplish what is
a manifestly disrepttable scheme. He
says that all the principal publishing
houses are represented in the combina-
ton, and therefore. ::'it could not have
been monopoly" This is transpar-
emf pretence, bearing its faisity upon its
face. Besides, it is fatty contradicted by
the Attorney General, who AYERS that the
circular was issued in the interest of seer
tain publishers, to the exclusion of all
others" The fact is confessed in the sup
Elementary circular and the pretenee that
all the principal publishing houses are in
terested in the swindle, does not furnish
ground of defence. Even if true, it
would only prove that the Superintend-
ent had entered into conspiracy of huge
proportions against the taxpayers for his
own and their agrandizement.

As matter Of information we have pub
lished in full the official report Of the
result of the deliberations of the half
dozen Chat number precisely gentlemen
who assembled at Canton to declare their
political views. In substance their de-
claration conincides with the views of the
opposers Of Radicalism throughout the
State; and presents no ground of sub
stantial difference among them. The
only difference that can arise would relate
entirely to the mode of accomplishing
the SSject which all have in view, viz. /:
the deiiverance of the State from Radi-
cal mlsrule. But this is a non-essential
which viii yield to the pressing and abso-
lutte necessity of union and cordial coop
Grafton among all true conservatives with
out regard to former antecedents and po-
litical distinctions. And now, men and
brethren of common faith, ''let us have
peace"

THE ALABAMA REVOLUTIONS. IT he
plot of the scalawag Governor of Alabama
to prolong his official career, notwith-
standing his defeat, has virtually broken
down. The votes have been counted in
spite Of the injunction of stupid and cor
rupt Judge, and Lindsay has been declar-
ed the duly elected Governor A major
ity of Smiths colleagues on the Radical
ticket, have openly repudiated his con-
duct and the federal authorities have
Withdrawn the armed force which was
guarding the executive rooms of the cap
itol At last accounts, an object of de
rision and contempt, he was surrounded
by posse of black militia, occupying his
ground by suferance Of the legally consti-
tuted authorities, who are striving to
avoid what he most desires, violent col
lision. The movement will collapse in a
brief time, and Smith will go into the
place OF disgrace and retirement prepared
for all the instruments and ministers of
Radical oppression, who have gone before
and are to come after him.

A Significant HntimatiOm by the
.sEminent Man, Home Organ.

The Coahoma Delta Or j. Alcorn,
editor,) publishes call for meeting,
without respect to party, to petition Gov.
Alcorn to serve out the full term as Gov
ernor, with the following highfalutin
comment:
= Then let the meeting be held, and let every
IN the county, eoithOHt regard to the qro0re
in lohich his political ideas hare been cast, be in
attendance. God and country is your Gov
ern0r'S motto. lie has stood by you in days
past and in the future he will not desert
you. Reared in the South. it is but natural
that he should love his dear native land
The best days of his life have been spent in
Mississippi. He has climbed her hills, traced
her rivers and wandered over almost every
forest within her domain. The friends OF
his youth are resting in solemn silence be-
meath her soil, and the great desire of his
heart is, that her banner ever bright may
long wave over prosperous and happy
people.
Again we say, let the meeting be held,
and let voice, deep, clear, and trumpet
tongued go up from the people of Coahoma
county, &C., &c.
The meaning of it is, that the "Emi-
nent Man" is rather anxious to be invi-
ted not to surrender the place he now &C.
cupies to the carpet-bagger, Lieutenant
Governor Powers, no matter what may
have been the understanding expressed
or implied between them, or the high
contracting parties of the Republican
household. Judging from the response
of the press to the Greenwood petition,
and the Indifference on the subject ex-
hibited by the people, We are convinced
that they are content to let the spoilsmen
adjust the matter among themselves. Our
opinion is that no matter which one
serves out the balance of the term, the
people will wish that it had been the
other.

THE NORTH CAROLINA V1croRr.


THE NORTH CAROLINA VICTORY
From North Carolina comes refreshing
news. The Congressional vacancy has
been filed by the election of Manning, an
able Conservative and the Legislature
has elected ex-Gov. Vance to represent
the State in the U. S. Senate. He sue
ceeds Abbott, despicable specimen of
the carpet-bag class. Gov. Vance was n
Wing member of Congress before the
war. He was opposed to secession, but
went with his State when she seeded, and
remained true to her people. He went
down with,them, and now he has the sat
isfaction of realizing that he has been ele-
waited by them, and not over them by I'M
lawful outside interference. He is one

win plead the cause Of his State in the
councils Of the nation, instead of conspir-
ing with her enemies to degrade and OPP
press her. 1t is rumored that his polit-
ical disabilities have not been removed.
Ifso, it is the only fact that is not pleasant
to contemplate in the choice of the Legis-
lature.

The effect of Buffers policy to plunge
the country into war with England to
keep the Republican party from falling
to pieces is thus described by the Chicago
Times:
1t would ruin every planter of corn or
cotton; it would send half the laboring pop
ulation of the Northwest to the poor
house, and cast every Southern Niger again
upon the bounty of the public treasury
But it would be god-send to New England
manufacturers and Pennsylvania IRON
mongers. 1t would turn into their already
weIl-filled Golfers a swollen stream of dol
lars wrung from the necessities of human
existence. 1t would enrich villainy and
impoverish honesty.

Nothing could exceed in cold-blooded
atrocity the declaration of Beast Butler,
the oracIe-in-chief Of the Radical Admin
istration. in favor of picking a quarrel
with England and bringing on war in
order to bold together the dissolving
fragments of the Republican party.
The declaration is significant, as an
admission that the party itself, lately so
arrogant in its pride of power, is MORT
bund, and that nothing but a powerful
remedy desperately applied can possibly
save it from DEATH But it is even more
significant for its deliberate wickedness.
To plunge two nations into war, with all
its train of frightful evils, to save from de-
served overthrow q reckless political or
ganization which has nearly run its career
of infamy, is scheme Of Unparalleled
enormity.
The Beast, in whose fertile magma
ton the plot seems to have been born,
reckons without his host, when he ina
gines that the people of the South are
willing to give any such proof of their
loyalty, as to embark in war with
England, especially from the triAing
causes alleged in his speech. They are
not in condition to go to war with any
power, and much less with the nat ion
which furnishes the chief market for
their leading staple. Imagine the deplor-
able state to which their main industry
wonld be reduced in the event of war
with England. Their cotton would find
no market at any price. kind Mother
Earth would yield them a subsistence !;
but the remnant of their property would
soon be disposed of to pay the taxes under
the enormous contributions levied by. the
swarm of plumbers who have been invited
to come hither and despoil them through
the fundamentally of Republican legisla-
ton.
The question of paying the Alabama
claims is an international one, not worth
while for us to discuss, though the
Southern people whose homes were devas
tated, and who were robbed of their es
tates, as well as their political privileges,
may well dwell upon the pretensions Of
an Administration for fair dealing which
stickles for indemnity to the class who
are interested in those claims, and at the
same time gloats over the wreck which il
has made of their own property.
1t Will be remembered that during the
Administration of Mr.. johnson a treaty
was formed for the settlement of these
claims upon fair terms-the parties hav
ing agreed to leave their adjustment tC
impartial arbitration But it was reject
ed by the Radical Senate under the lead
of Charles Sumner, the New England
Boanerges. The issue is now renewed
as pretext for war by leading cham
pion of the Administration, for The avow
ed purpose of prolonging the existence
and the reign of the Radical party, which
is falling to pieces by its own corruption
Viewed in any light, the scheme is abhor
rent, and will hasten the downfall Of the
Radical rulers instead of propping them
up, as its wicked inventors have vainly
hoped.

The Refornaers.

At meeting in New York of the Re-
publicans who have rebelled against the
policy of the Radical Administra-
ton of corrupting the purity of elections
by federal patronage, and Of fevying con-
tributions on the great body of the peo-
pie to build up special interests-the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted. As
these resolutions. embody the views held
by the great Democratic or Conservative
party, and are in strict accord with the
policy WHICH it proposes TO ,inaugurate,
we do not perceive the necessity of the
separate organization for which their au-
thors seem to provide:
"Whereas the time has arrived for the
friends of revenue reform aud civil service
reform to unite in a permanent organization
for the purpose of concentrating public
sentiment GA measures necessary to carry
these reforms into effect Therefore
ssResolyed. That committee be appointed
by this meeting, whose duty it shall be TO
promote these reforms in all appropriate
ways, and who, if legislation during the
coming session of Congress shall seem to
them satisfactory, shall be empox cred to

others as may sympathize with them, 10

ATTORNEY GENERAL NORRIS CARD.
In another column will be found a card
which, coming from the high official
source that it does and over the official
signature of the gentleman, who is its
author, will be read with much interest.
1t speaks for itself. And in doing so, it
exhibits one of the most fragrant attempts
of one of the officers in power to enrich
himself at the expense of the impoverish-
ed people of the State. This too in direct
violation of the law, bad enough as it is,
which puts this branch of tho State
government in motion.
