IMPERTINENCE, NOT TO SAY DEvILIsH-

something condemnatory of the acts OF
unknown parties, supposed to be idle
BOYS. who went the other night and dis
turbed the schoolgirls in their studies at
Mr.. W. V. Bcasley's, by throwing shot, OF
pebbles, against the windows. Such fun
is first cousin to rascality, and certainly
exhibits a shallowness OF brain. We dis
like to be compelled to call attention to
such acts, for we do not want the world to
know that Winchester contains elements
in society that promise to retard rather
than assist us as a community. Hence We
have refrained, heretofore, from comment,
ing upon ridiculous action at night, such
as one might alone expect in an uncivil.
lied country. But since our pen is going
we will add, currente cdiamo, that if the pa.
rents of boys who are getting an educa-
ton on the streets Of nights could have thu
curtain OF the future lifted so they couI
see the result of such an education. they
would be terribly shocked. II they coulC
be hid in some of the back rooms and hear
and see the words and actions of theil
"hopefuls," they would almost curse thu
law of propagation. All! this street edu
cation, especially of nights, is the fruitful
cause of many melancholy wrecks in So
ciety. Keep your boys in; furnish then
with entertaining and useful books, o.
playthings, to occupy their time. ant
make it a study and a duty to cultivate
their affection for yourselves and theiI
homes. Put them to some trade, and SCI
that they work so hard that they will b.
too tired at night for devilment. Don
mistake sympathy for love, else. after yol

Town CoNsTABLE.--O columns an
nounce VIM. Vaughn as a candidate LOT
Town Constable next year. We guess
there will not be mich excitement, per-
haps no opposition. la tile election. MI.
Vaughn has performed his duties credita-
bly as Town Constable in the past, and
better than the taxpayers have a right to
expect when they consider that he gets
only SIS per month tor services. This Is
not enough to support Il man and his FAM
lly, and we still think that the Board Of
Mayor and Aldermen, since 1t devolvcs
D O them To fix n Constablc's salary,
should at least allow $50 per month, an d
the perquisitcs of the Office. At that u
good man, like Mr.. Vaughn, could be sup
ported, and u more thorough police OF ~
town secured. Small pay does not en-
courage heavy work, and honors Of office
do not stop the collection of your indebted
ness. Labor and capacity merit recon-
pense, and there is no more oncr0us or
obnoxious labor than that which devolves
upon Il Town Constable, and, in fact, the
Mayor and Alderman. All of them de-
serve and should receive five times the
compensation they do, save in the way of
curses and unwarranted abuse. God
knows they have enough of the latter!
And good pay would ensure efficiency,
and that is what we want. Say hat you
will, Winchester has Il goodly number of
roughs in her suburbs, and many a good,
man who might come here for peace, stays
in a city where peace is secured by a strong
police well paid for arduous duties. And
it were better to abolish our municipal
CHI arter in toto, than render it impotent for
good by niggardly and false economy. We
speak as one who has twice been Mayor,
and as II taxpayer feel that we have a
right to talk for ourself and for the pom
dcrous public.

MERCHANTS TAx.-We observe in the
Nashville papers an appeal, signed by
about $1,000 merchants, and addressed to
the General Assembly, praying for justice
though the heavens fall. They complain,
and justly We think, that under the exist
ing laws the merchants of Tennessee are
made to pay more than one hundred per
cent. higher rates of taxation than other
classes, and they ask the Legislature to
remedy this INDUSTRIOUS outrage by so
amending the revenue laws as to place
them simply upon the same footing with
other respectable classes Of our popula-
ton.
Among the appealers We notice the IA
miliar names Of the following mercantile
firms and individuals in Winchester, to-
wit: Wiley S. Embry & Co.. il. Baugh
Garner & Handy, J.. NJ. Hutcbins. j. F.
Vaughan, N. r. Martin, w. Ransom. W

THE WFArHER.-What q beautiful Fall
VIC have had! 1t has seemed as If Winter
delayed his coming, lest it might be said
he had no respect for the death of sweet
flowers and the beautiful foliage. But,
oh! how soon we forget!-how soon we
cease to grievc for the loved ones who
have preceded us in the universal journey
to death! How oon we walk over the
scpulchre of those upon whom we dotted
in days gone by, and yet feel no compunc-
tions OF conscience! So it is in nature,
The gentle zephyrs Of offspring and Summer
have yielded to the progress of the seas
ons. The flowers have faded and re-
solved themselves back to dust. The rude
angles of deciduous trees offer no obstruc-
ton to the chilly blasts of Winter, and the
smoke that curls from chimney tops bcto-
kens the efforts Of humanity in combat
with nature.
And Winter is upon us in earnest. Last
Thursday morning opened to view a car
pet of snow as far as eye could reach. OF
course our first thought was:
"Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow!
Filling the earth and the sky below"
and our next thought was, to publish that
beautiful poem entitled THE Snow" But
we have published it so often, and it is SC
beautiful, and it will be published by SC
smany other newspapers now, and it has
been so often rendered in Winchester by
Professor Ryan, that we have deliberately
concluded to let it 20 by default this seas
on, and only say that the beautiful
snow is a harbinger to us of Winter in
earnest. and it came to us to the extent o.
several inches on Thursday last.

WANT OF FoRECAsT.--We have heard our
Sheriff, ID. j. Martin, complain that he
has paid out over seventy dollars for the
transportation Of prisoners back and forth
in consequence Of the inse curity of ON
jail rendering such transportation neces-
sary. Now, it may be argued that the
court will idemniiy him, but then, he may
not. under the pressure of the money
market, be able to let out money on a
credit. Surely the sooner our Jail is made
prisoner-safe the better, and until then
some provision should be made for the i'm
mediate liquidation Of expenses accruing
on account of its condition. Evidently
there is II want of forecast OH the part OF
the lawmakers.

ENyY.-If there is Il man IN TINS world
who is miserable, ard who receives and
merits the contempt of his fellows, 1t is the
enyious man. If we had never been out
side of Franklin county, it appears to us
that we could have found evidence sufii-
cient for a sermon upon this subject. The
county Of Franklin, and the town Of Win
chester, contain a vast number OF envious
bipeds, and it is interestingly painful to
watch the divers ways in which they man
ifest their envy. Imprimis, they do not
want ai~ellow-being to Accommodate any
O fthis worlds goods. 1t matters not If he
has paid his creditors faithfully, and
worked perseveringly, these envious
wretches take every occasion to keep him
down. They will permit him to pay for
their whisky, will borrow from him when
ever they cali, will fawn upon him as
long as he opens his purse to them, but
take advantage Of every occasion to abuse
him for having amassed n little com peten-
CIV by means of hard work, close applica-
ton, and persevering industry. If he
should dare to wear a gold chain, 4 dia-
mond pin, or a neat suit Of clothes, forth
with they condemn him rs a "stuck up
person. At this very time, perhaps, he has
paid for all his c1travagancies, while they
pay nothing. We want to tell all such lazy
%malcontents that it is only because they
have not the ability to rise above the low
est ~position--this it is that induces such
petty envy in their benighted bosoms.
And we would impress upon them the fact
that threc-tourths of the difficulties and
miseries of men come from the fact that
most want wealth without earning it,
fame without deserving it, popularity
without temperance, respect without vir-
tue, and happiness without holiness. The
man who wants the best things, and Is
willing to pay just what they are worth,
by honest effort and hard self-denial, will
have no difficulty In getting what he
wants at last. 1t is the men who want
goods on credit that are snubbed, and dis
appointed, and overwhelmed In the end.
Happiness cannot be bought by the bottle,
nor caught up by the excursion train, nor
put on with any robe or jewels, nor eaten
at any feast. 1t does not exist in any ex-
hilaration, excitement, or ownership, but
comes from the use Of the faculties of the
body and mind.

TEMpERANCR.-We were behind time In
getting to the NJ L. Church last Saturday
evening in order to hear the Mohawk
Dutchman.' atlas Mr.. Vinton, the great
temperance lecturer, and who l%ecthrcd IN
Winchester. on the same subject, about 10
wears since. Nevertheless, We heard On"
MAJOR portion Of his remarks, ana regret
that our limited space forbidS II more ateh-
uatcd notice of the same. Mr.. lnton Ia"
improved in obesity and likewise IN mem
tai. or oratorical ability. He Is, beyond
p%eradventure, q most impressive speaker
and occasionally supcrbly eloquent. VI
course he has II good sHhject-one that j.
replete with arguments. In It's favor. which
are patent to the comprehension Of The
dullcst intellects, and his long experience
in lecturing upon this subject ought to
make him an .fdt ia he Is. But it Is hard
for an unbelicvcr to listen to him and not
be converted, despite his haSty and I'M
called forasscrtion that all who did not
believe him were infdcls. In n literal
sense we opinc that he spoke. and not as
the ror poruli would have it understood.
His smiles, metaphors, figures. &C., are Pc
culiarly to the point, and his gesticulation
easy and graceful. His lecture OF Satur-
day night was the only one we heard,
though he has lccturrd since, and will lee
turc again, we learn, somewhere this even
ing--Wednesday.
On Saturday evening he endeayored to
enforce the assertions that there are no
moral liquor sellers in the country. That
their business is destructive ofhuman life.
and little children had gone in vain and
appealed to Them to sell no more liquor to
their fathers. He wanted Il law to make
the liquor-sellcr responsible as he is in
other Statcs--that he is II creature of local
police law, and consequently the people
are responsible tor the election of lcgisla-
tors opposed to temperance. That 1t was
useless to say you could nOt stop drunk
enncss by legislation. He did not expect
to 10 this, but wanted to put it upon ;
level with other crimes. such as murder
which, although there was n law against i
was still committed. He was opposed t,
the use of wine at parties--opposcd to the
social glass. &c, and favored total absti
ncn,e, and then invoked the ladies' to JOIN
the temperance order--they had influence
rs all who were married kncw--and re
minded them that the man in the ditcl
once walked erect as the man on the street
He answered the various objections urget
against, union with die Temperance order
especially those who object because the.
must mix with "such and such" persons
lest they might injure their character
Such objections came from "CodliSh aristOC
racy." Throw diamond among pebble
and always it will be 4 diamond still. elias
will we furnished by association bccaus
ofdoubtful character. From this beauti
ftl figure he went on to protest agains
pindOc-glass characters. Jesus Christ as
ISOLATED with the low. with publicans an,
sinners, &c. There were 100000 TEN
pcrance peoplcin America, and the orde
would not die out. Europe Is looking t

&c.
1t was a good lecture. and we wish on
room was sufficient for n extended motto.
