Reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote cOnnubml
happiness, Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage, the
nrospect hourly durkcns to the view, the mind
becomes shadowed with despair and filled with
the me lancholy reflection that the happiness OF

MY r1Rsr SrwspApER.

The following is the experience of a
mechanic, concerning the benefit of a
newspaper: a-t@
g Twenty years ago lived in the
town of D., in Indiana. On returning
home one night, for / am carpenter
by trade, saw little girl leaving my
door. My wife then met me at the
door with smile which is encourag-
ing to tired mechanic, after a hard
days labor. She said Mrs. R., had
sent her little girl after their paper,
which she had borrowed. We sat
down to tea. We had only been mar
ried six months, and of course had no
children. My wife said to me, calling
me by nay given name. g wish you
would subscribe for the newspaper,
for it is so much comfort to me when
you are away from holne." My an
swer was: 81 would like to do so,
but you know owe little payment
on the house and lot. 1t will be all
can do to meet it." She said," If you
will take. the paper / will sew for the
tailor to pay for it," l subscribed for
the paper. 1t came in due time to my
office. While resting one noon and
looking over it, saw an advertisement
of the County Commissioners to let a
bridge that was to be let. put in a
bid for building the bridge and got
The job, on which 1 cleared $500,
which enabled me to pay for my house
and lot easily, and also for the news
paper. If l had not subscribed for
the newspaper 1 would have known
nothing of the bridge contract, and
could not have met my payment on
my house and lot. A mechanic never
loses anything by taking his home
paper.

ECCENTRICITIEs OF Al TENNESSEE
~ f PIG. ,--, tr--. r.. I.l'. 4

Two sons of fl. G.. Scovel, ESQ.,, of
this city, riding leisurely along the
Gallatin turnpike, four miles from the
city, the other evening, passed small
pig walking in the same direction
One of the lads todched the pig gently
on the back with the whip lash, and
the animal acknowledged the. salute
with a grnnt, and quietly look his po-
sition in the rear of the buggy and
followed it. He would not be driven
back, but stubbornly persisted in fol-
lowing the buggy walking when the
horse walked, and running when the
horses speed increased. The lads
turned III at Mr.. q. w. Payne's gate
and closed it, but the pig was not to
be shut out, He nosed about until he
found an opening in the fence, and
came through and took his position
under the buggy, and slept under it
all that night. The next morning the
young gentleman hitched up and pro-
ceeded to town, the pig following as
before. He followed them the entire
four miles-crossed the suspension
bridge after the buggy-followed it
through the city to the residence of
Mr.. Scovel; and is now inhis lot, per-
fectly gentle, and apparently contented
with the situation. This is the most
eccentric conduct of a country pig of
intelligence we have yet heard of, and
the account is literally true.--Nosh-
