A WORD FOR THE HOMELY.-
Nothing wears like homllness and
plainness. The men in whom we
see no change have characteristics
that defy the ravages of time, and
dash back its tide like so many
ragged rocks. There is this advan-
tage in ugliness, that it mends with
wears: inasmuch as it has nothing to
spoil. it takes courage. As Lady
Charlotte Lindsay, witty and plain,
put it. Ny ugliness has lost Its
bloom" Beauty on the contrary, Is
the true sport Of time; it is composed
of evanescent qualities; indeed. 1t Is
its charm that 1t passes. We must
make the most Of the show, for II
STAYS among us but one day. The
most worn tell-tale faces We could
call to mind. most suggesting the
question or the exclamation. how
old, are the faces Of once handsome
women. 1t Is beauties that make
wrecks-an epithet never applicable
10 the harsh OF common place. IN
extenuation Of the effort to keep
Young. so severely ridiculed on all
hands rs the last mark Of a vain and
frivolous character. one may remark
that it is not every one who can
afford to put on old ase-to be any
older than he can help. Respect tc
old age does not come naturally tc
most men: it argues a finer clay than
the common. SO long rs a man has
vigor enough to keep to the fore.
his wisdom is to let his work speak
for him. Every allusion to age i
caught at as confession of which
ungenerous use may he made 5.

TIE TWO GREAT LIGHTS.
From the " New Era"

LET there be two great lights in
the far-spreading firmamentH' said
the voice OF the Most High. Let
them be kings of the earth, rulers
of ever-changing time, guardians OF
day and night ~
He spoke, and it was.
And, in all his glory and majesty,
up rose the sun. \ crown of many
colors adorned his head; jewels,
whose etfulgence no mortaleye could
look upon. decked him, and sent
forth their cleaning rays on all crea-
ton. Smilingly and lovingly he
looked down on the beauteous earth,
gave life and fragrance to every
herb, scent and beauty to every
flower, vigor and health to the CEea-
tors crowning workman.
But the moon looked on with an
eve of jealousy, and envy darkened
her beauty as she asked, "Why
should there be tworoyal personages
on one throne? why should [ have
only the second rank IN this grand
creation?'
And suddenly her beautiful light
disappeared. chased away by the
spirit of jealousy. Far, far away
on the wings of the wind it flew. till
it reached the great multitude of
stars, and these it turned into gilt
tering atoms in the vast vault of
heaven.
And in darkness and misery the
moon stood before the throne of the
Almighty, and cried, Mercy. mercy,
oh Father. for [ have sinned.
Alas? too late, the fiat of God had
gone forth.
Unhappy one said the Divine
voice. looking down with pity on the
larkened creation. because thou
hast envied the beauty and magniti
cence with which il has pleased thy
Creator to adorn thy brother. the
sun. know that henceforth from hin
alone shall the brightness be Dor
rowed; and when it pleases thy
Maker to show his omnipOtenf
power. thou shalt even be agaiI
plunged into darkness. But weel
not. victim of envy. The King o
Mercy has forgiven thee! Thou, too
in thy beauty shalt refresh the
weary, and inspire hope in the fail

Then and New.

It is quite refreshing sometimes to look back
1 to the former times, and by comparison see
how much the world has gone ahead OF old
| landmarks. Nothing indicates the progress
| made more than the newspapers.
| On the fifth dev of November, 1871, the first
| newspaper published in Tennessee came from
the press. It was called the Knoxville Gazette
| and was printed by George Kouliton at Rogers
vile. Tennessee, but with the intention of re-
moving to Knoxville as soon as the seat OF Gov
then included in the territory south of the Ohio,
and was little else than a wilderness of Indians
| and wild beasts.
Afsr a few months the Gazetto came to
i Knoxville, and was published from log cabin,
which stood on lot near Cowan, McClung &
Cs's old wholesale house on Gay street
Knoxville then consisted of sixty -four lots,
and . smaller number of Indifferent houses,
scattered about in the southeast part of the
present city.
Postoffices were unknown. As late as May 6,
1874, they had not been extended as far into the
about as much excluded from the great world
outside as are the fur traders of Hudson Bay at
the present day, or perhaps more SO. What
little mail was received came by private con-
vysyancc through the courtesy, of travellers.
Every one considered it 4 moral obligation to
faithfully forward all letters.
In 1897 Knoxville had a postoffice, but not so
with the surrounding points, and the mails
came only twice month. So rs to increase the
circulation of the Gazette Mr.. Roulston estab-
lished private post, which set out every second
Monday and made circuit by way OF Mary
vile, Ssvierville, Hawkins Court House, &C.,
back to Knoxville again. The subscription
price was three dollars per year, and one cent
per number additional by the private post. We
may imagine how stale the news Of Napoleon's
great, victories, then occurring in Europe became
before it reached the pioneer readers of the
Gazette, if indeed reliable accounts ever reach
cd them.
Even as late as 1924, when so much progress
had been made that there was talk Of great
national stage route between New York and
New Orleans, letter from Smyrna, detailing
events of the Greek Revolution, and dated July
18th, appeared in the Knoxville Enquirer, Of
October 10Th, about three months after date,)
under the flaming head Of ''Still later from
Greece" And as an example of the uncertain
and roundabout way of receiving news at that
late day, wO find in the Enquirer the following:
"a gentleman of respectability who has lately
arrived in Upper Canada from Ireland, states
that that unfortunate country, &C., &c"
When we thus reflect upon the past and then
again turning to the present. think of the
CHRONICLE being laid upon the breakfast tables
of subscribers from Bristol to Chattanooga on
the morning Of publication, replsts with the
news frsm Europe of yesterday, correct and re-
liable, can we otherwise than feel that the world
moves?

Public School. I'm tho Comfy.

Some of the schools have started in the coun-
| ty, although many are not yet under Roadway
and probably will not be this season. We learn
that no schools have been started south of the

The school at Caldwells school house, of the
18th District in North Knoxville or Mechan-
icsville, opened on Monday with eighty-fve
scholars. Mr.. w. l.. McSpadden is teacher.
The house is little frame building and entirely
too small for the number of pupils We visited
Mr. McSpadden in the midst of his pupils try
| ing to make the best of things. A great many
could not be seated and were standing about in
| the room. The room is provided with large
house is beautifully situated just on the out
skirts of town, where there is large room for an
| excellent play ground in the old fields. Mr..
HcSpadden thinks it good place to build up
large school if the house only could be en-
larged. Mr.. Caldwell has promised that this
shall be done if necessary. We hope it will be
done soon.
The school at Browns school house, on
Beaver Creek, in the 8th District, was COM
menced on the 18th ult, by Mr.. Chas Nelson.
There were thirty-eight pupils in attendance
the first day, The enumeration of the division

An Entcrprisinx Firm.

We invite attention to the new feature added
to the business of the enterprising real estate
agents of this city, Messrs. Munson & Bailey,
as the same appears in the advertisement in
their column. This is genuine arrangement
by which these gentlemen are placed in direct
communication with the great emigration agen-
cies of Europe, and they are, therefore, in po-
sition to do US good.
As another evidence Of the enterprise of thi.
firm, We refer to the fact that we yes
terday delivered to them the first in
stallmsnt of an issue of 1900 copies OF
the second number Of their Tennessee
Land Register" This work contains their list
of city and suburban property, farm and min
ersl lands-soveral hundred different pieces OF
property. The Register contains some inter
esting facts concerning Knoxville and East
Tennessee. such as would be of value to immi-
grants and the business cards of most Of our
large business houses. These Registers 20 fsr

To school Commissioners.

We have examined school desk manufsc-
tured by Mr.. J. H. Renshsw, which is best
adapted for the purpose of any We have yet
seen: 1t has folding seat, with iron supports,
and is made of black walnut. This style of desk
is now in use in the free schools established in
this city, and from its low price-only $3.50
commends itself to the favorable consideration
of school commissioners in this and neighboring
counties. 1t differs but slightly from the desk
wholesale, and is as neat and durable, These
desks are made of cherry and ash as we'll as
walnut. 5 1Gd
