We can, by means of one force, create an
other, or we can substitute one force for
another. And in all this we must keep in

The mechanic ought also to study the

This branch of knowledge is called chem

What are called elementary substances
constitute the stock in trade of all the arts
and sciences, and it is as necessary for the
mechanic to understand them as it is for
the merchant to be familiar with the goods
he sells
The mechanic must study mathematics.
This branch of knowledge is the language
and the key to all other sciences, and it is
indispensable to success everywhere.
A knowledge of political economy and
of the laws of trade is also necessary.
The mechanic ought tc understand the
relation of labor to capital and the laws
of commerce. With a knowledge of these

the lord of creation, and every rank and

1t is the fashion at the present time to
exalt labor, and yet it is not often that the
so called man of education takes to trlde.
The old prejudices against labor still OBJ

be in a measure remedied by giving to the
mechanic higher education.
In a play called "The Carpenter of
Rouen," the dignity and importance of
the mechanic is thus aptly illustrated:
"The mechanic is Gods nobleman.

mechanics bidding, compelled to turn. it !?
Have not mechanics opened the bowels of
the earth, and made the products con-

Miscellaneous Reading.
LOSING AND LYING.

FoREvER the sun is pouring his gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow;
His warmth he squanders on SUBMITS cold,
his wealth on the homes Of want and sorrow.
To withhold his largeness of precious light
Is to bury himself in eternal night.
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all;
Its Joy is the joy 1t freely dfffuses;
OF beauty and balm it is pfodigal,
And it lives in the life It sweetly loses.
No choice for the rose but glory or doom,
To exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To deny
Is to die.
The seas lend silvery rain to the land,
The land its sapphire streams to the ocean,
The heart sends blood to the brain Of command
The brain to the heart it's lightning motion.
And ever and ever we yield our breath
Till the mirror is dry and images death.
To give
Is to live.
He is dead whose hand is not opened wide
To help the need Of human brother;
he doubles the strength Of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another.
And thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is to die.

IHE Boston IrG0etter says: A lady
who had been boarding at a Southern
Hotel, among sick and dying Northern
people, writes Indignantly to her friends
about the cruelty of sending hopeless in
valids away from the convenience and COM
forts of home, to suffer and die among
strangers, without any home comforts and
alleviations. And yet, physicians are con-
tinually doing this same thing. Having a
patient for whom they can do nothing,
they send aim South, with the delusive
hope of recovery, when there is nothing
before him but sad and solitary death,
away from home and friends. In the in
cipient stages of disease, and when the
patient is well enough to take care of him
self, and to bear without great suffering
the rough and tumble of a life abroad,
it may be an excellent prescription to try
q Southern climate; but where disease has
got firm hold, the cases are very few in
which an experiment is advisable or safe. "

Rev. w. HI. Whittsett.

While hundreds of less thoughtful young
men in this county have, as they imagine,

generally, this indefatigable student, this
sacrificing gentleman, has been diligently en-
gagedpaying broad and deep the foundation
work for future usefulness in his profession.
Those who have known Willie Whittsitt
longest, or most intimately, cannot fail to
love him; but the singular modesty and
difiidence of one so cultivated would how
ever appear to stand in the way of his Just
appreciation by the people; nevertheless his
gifts, culture, and nobility Of purpose cause
him to be most favorably received wherever
known. 1t was with peculiar pleasure We
heard of his being the chosen pastor of an
American congregation of Christians in
Berlin, while he was yet student there,
and since his return to America be has been
called to the best States and places
in the South. Calls, presenting
as temptations to his acceptance.
both honor and emoluments, came from
cities and villages. We sincerely hope how
ever, his friends and brethren will detain
him here in his native State. Can they not?

part of which we heartily endorses: 9"
REV. w. H. WHITsITT-When we en-
tered the ministry, father Whitsitt was
distinguished Baptist minister of Tennes-
see. The brother whose name heads this
article is his grandson. He is known to
our readers as our European correspondent,
over the signature of wv" Having served
as a chaplain in the Confederate army to
the close of the war, he entered on course
of studies to prepare himself more fully
for his ministry. After having attended
lectures at the University of Vir-
ginia, and had gone through the course
of studies at the Southern Baptist The
illogical Seminary, at Greenyille, S. c.,
he spent between two and three years at
the Universities of Berlin and Leipzig, to
complete his education. He has recently
returned to this country. He has been
preaching for several weeks past in this CITY,
We have heard him twice with great pleas
ure. He is entirely free from pedantry; and
his preaching is remarkable for its origi-
nality, plainness, and good taste. He is des-
tined, if the Lord spares his life, and grants
him grace, to make an impression on his
age, and to be an honor to his native State,
and to his denomination. Fortunate, in
our judgment, viii be the church that Sc
cures him as a pastor"

Yesterday afternoon white woman call
ed upon Squire Butler, eolored, and in
formed him that German woman living in
the neighborhood of the barracks, had been
severely cut with knife and beaten BY a
club, the night previous, and was now in a
critical condition. She further stated that
the injuries we're inflicted BY the wemans
husband, who being intoxicated, from some
unknowa, cause became angry and then
commenced beating her in a most brutal
maHser with large stick. Smarting under
the blows, the wife cried murder, which
brought to her assistance aneighbor woman,
who was Immediately attacked by the hu.-
band with knife, receiving several cuts, one
onthe forehead, one ON the back part of the
head, in the back and also in the right and
left breasts Some of these wounds infict-
ed by the infatuated victim of liquor are said
to be serious and may prove fatal We have
not learned the names of any Of the parties
and no cause other than the maddening in
fiuence of liquor, has been assigned for the
act. The woman, who made this state
ment to Squire Butler was unwilling II
swear out a warrant Of arrest upon the
tragic husband, but said she would get q
person to do so this morning. lfthe above
facts are true the man should be punished
for his atrOcious conduct.

Necessity OF Vaccination.

Smallpox and the existing necessity for
a more general precaution against the spread
of that much dreaded disease, lacks much OF
being a pleasant topic, but people are not
always at liberty to select agreeable themes.
The scourge raging this winter through
various parts of the United
States, is regarded by the medi-
cal profession as unusually virulent, the dis
ease spreading with great rapidly and be-
| ing very fatal in its results. In this view
Of the situation, and the appearance of the
disease in that city, the Louisville CONNER
cidl gives its readers some sound and SEN
sible advice. 1t says. ''I'he late ordinance
adopted regarding vaccination is being en-
forced by the officers Of the Board of
Health. The citizens should render all
assistance in their power TO these gentle
men by informing them of violations of the
ordinance in different localities. Those
who do not enjoy the luxury of family
physician should Immediately report to the
Health Officer, whose services, as well as
those of his assistants, are rendered
gratuitously. lt %
Nearly all of the schools in the city have
been visited BY the Health Officers, and the
parents of the children are notified of what
is required of them. .ga
The health officers use vaccine matter
from only healthy persons, and it can be re-
lied upon as being free from everything Of a
doubtful nature. There is not as many
cases of the disease in the city as are report.
ed by ignorant persons, but there are too
many as it is" The Commercial also gives
an incident showing the dangerous folly OF
allowing ignorant charlatans to yaccinate
people. ga man living in the upper part
of the city called on one of our most promi-
ent physicians in the central part of the
city, and asked for some vaccine matter,
saying:
II do little vaccinating up in my neigh
borhood, and have got out of matter"
Il have been supplying number of ply
scians of late, and have not single parti-
Gle of vaccine matter in my possession; it
is scarce at present" replied the doctor.
"Got no scabs ?" remarked the miscreant;
"why thought one small pox patient would
supply enough to vaccinate the whole city,"
"My Godm responded the doctor; sis
that what you have been vaccinating peo-
pie with? ?"
The man replied in the affirmative, say
ing that be thought every doctor used that
kind. The doctor explained to the man,
in few words, how he might spread the
terrible disease like wildfire, by pursuing
this course, and succeeded in impressing
the ignorant charlatan with the enornity Of
his offense. The amateur vaccinator, who
had been imparting smallpox to his friends
at fifty cents head, retired, and will pro-
badly discontinue his business. People
should either go to- physician in good
standing, or to the health officer, TO have
the operation performed.

returns after the lapse Of twenty years tc
Nashville, and offers his services as a law
yer. For many years he lracticed law IL
Missouri with marked succe s, and repre-,
sented his Senatorial district in the Nilsson
ri Legislature for four successive years. Al
the breaking out of the war he threw his
influence and fortune with the SoutherI
