SECRET OF TRUE HAPPINESS. are
few truer things said touching earthly happi-
ness than the following by Ruskin:
Gradually, thinking on from point to point,
we shall come to perceive that all true happi-
ness and nobleness are near us, aud yet neglec-
ted by us and that till we have learned how to
be happy and noble, we have not much to tel,
even to red Indians. The delights of horse
racing and hunting, of assemblies in the night
instead of the day, of costly and wearisome
music of costly and burdensome dress, Of cha
grined contention for place or power or wealth,
or the eyes of the multitude; and all the end
less occupation without purpose, and idleness
without rest, of our vulgar world, are not, it
seems to me, enjoyments we need be ambitious
to communicate.
And all real wholesome enjoyments possible
to man have been just as possible to him since
he was first made of the earth, as they are now (;
and they are possible to him chiefly in peace.
To watch the corn grow, and the blossoms set |;
to draw hard breath over ploughshare or spade,
to read to think, to love, to hope, to pray
these are the things that make men happy ;
they have always had the power of doing this ;
they never will have power to do more, The
worlds prosperity depends upon our know
ing and teaching these few things; but upon
iron or glass; or electricity, or steam in no WISE
And am utopian and enthusiastic enough to
believe that the time will come when the world
will believe this. It has now made its expert
ments in every direction but the right one, and
il seems that it must at last try the right one in
mathematical necessity.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1870-05-26

LITERARY L1eHTNEss. is much of
valuable suggestion in the appended critical re-
marks. apposite to which is the observation of
an American reviewer, that the style most diff
cult of mastery is that which to common eye
would seem attainable by any ONE without
trouble:
There is good deal of truth in the remark
that easy writing is generally very hard reading
Grace hghtness, and vivacity are not unfre-
ouentiy the result of exceedingly hard and
painstaking labor. We have an illustra-
ton of this in the writings of the late N: p.
Willis, which owed their popularity to these
very qualities. A writer in a late number OF
the Home Journal, in giving an estimate OF the
literary character of Mr.. Willis, says: CAL
though all of Willis's writings, judging, from
their easy elegance, seem to have flowed from
his pen without the least effort, those OF his
friends who knew him most intimately, assures
us that he was far from being ready writer.
Four or five pages of foolscap were with him a
good mornings work and it sometimes hap
pened that these pages contained so many
erasures, that they would not make q half col
umn in his paper. He was always most pain
stalking and conscientious. Parton, who was
junior editor with him for several years, says ne
knew him one evening to write and rewrlte 3
sentence for two hours before he was satisfied
with it. He did the very best he could every
time he put the pen to paper" This state
ment, will, doubtless, apply to great many
writers celebrated for the gracefulness of their
style. Like Sheridan's "impromptus" their
"airy nothings" are the product Of hard labor
in their literary workshops. Writing that seems
to be as "easy as rolling off the Logo is some
times the result of labor as hard as that requir-
ed to roll the aforesaid log up steep hill.

The CIVIL SERVICE REFORM Jenckes,
of Rhode Island, continues to work in Congress
for the passage Of the bill having for its object
the reformation of our civil service. 1t is pro-
posed that all appointments of civil officers of
the Government except postmasters and such
officers as are required to be appointed by the
President by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate, shall be made from persons found
best qualified for the position, after open and
competitive examinations, and after terms Of
probation. 1t provides for three, who shall
Constitute the Civil Service Commission, the
Commissioners to hold Office for five years.
This Commission is to provide qualifications
requisite for an appointment to each branch
and grade of the civil service, to establish
rules governing applications, examinations, and
periods and conditions of probation, and to re-
port to Congress at the opening of each session.
An examination of all officers is to be held ev-
cry four years, and such as may not be found
qualified are recommended for dismissal land to
be dismissed accordingly. The President or
the Senate may require an applicant for any
Office that requires confirmation by the Senate
to appear before the board, and be examined as
to qualifications.

Duty OF YOUNG MEN.-Our young men
should not look alone to the learned profess
sions for occupation and profit. They must go
into other fields. They must adapt themselves
to the new order of things, and fit themselves
to the new order of things, and fit themselves
for other occupations than law and medicine.
There is the school house, the workshop, the
mineral resources of the State, and hundred
other branches of industry which are waiting,
with open arms, as it were, to welcome the
earnest pupil and worker at once. We might
elaborate these ideas still more; we might give
them in the chaste and beautiful language OF
the orator himself; but we do not deem it ne
cessary at present to do more than call atten-
ton to the subject. Weshall allude to it again,
and often; for we believe that upon this grand
principle depends, in very great measure, the
prosperity and grandeur of not only the State
of Georgia, but of every Southern State.
Our politics are in too deplorable condition
to afford us any relief For this we must turn
to something else. What grander, or noblerr,
or more profitable occupation than the ad-
vancement, the honor and the interest of our
section? To secure these, let us work, earnest
ly, energetically, constantly, with untiring zeal
and unceasing effort. If we love our State,
our section, the work, though difficult, will be
pleasant; and the reward, though long delay
ed, will be ample and glorious.-Banner Of the
South
