Wit and HumOr.

THE chains of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they are too strong
to be broken.-Dr. johnson.
IT is a Notifying reflection for any
man to consider what he has done,
compared with what he might have
done.
MEN often attempt, by the light Of
reason, to discover the mysteries of
eternity. They might as we'll hold up
a candle to see the stars.
HURRY and cunning are the two APP
prentlces of dispatch and skill but nei-
ther of them ever learn their masters
trade.-C6LtOn.
GOOD words are like dew-drops-
they fall silently, but who can tell their
effect?
DoRABELLA, who reads the papers,
thinks it nothing wonderful that the
Ring should be in arrears. She says
she's had rings in 'er ears ever since she
was seven years old.
JOSH BILLINGS SAYS: "Most men will
concede that it looks foolish to see boy
draggin' a heavy sled uphill for the
heetin' pleasure Of ridin' down again.
Bnt it appears to me that the boy is
a sage by the side of young man
who works hard all the week, and
drinks up his wages on Saturday
night"
GENEROSITY during life is very differ.
ent thing from generosity in the hour
of death one proceeds from genuine
liberty and benevolence the other from
pride or fear.
THE minds Of some people are like
the pupil of the human eye, and con-
tract themselves the more the stronger
light there is shed upon them.-Thos.
Moore.
A WRITER, describing the exodus
from Eden, says: The devil drove
woman out of Paradise, but he could
not drive Paradise out of woman"
"T1E best policy"-That with the
largest bonus.
Some "horrid" man says that in the
present style of dressing young ladies
hair it is hard to tell which is switch.
A YOUNG lady writes TO friend .
"Miss Smith is staying with us. We
went out sailing yesterday. didn't
know there was so much in her."
" The best way to find out is to put
ring on it," was the blushing reply
of young woman to the remark of her
lover that he hoped her "hand was not
counterfeit"

The chairman then introduced Col. FRED.
w NJ. HOLIDAY, the Orator of the day.
AS the gallant Colonel arose, bearing in his
empty sleeve the testimony of his devotion 10
the cause Of which he was about to speak, we
could not hut think that, whatever he might
say to that audience, some of whom had fol.
lowed his lead up the bloody pathway of
honor, would be regarded as eloauence; but
1t needed no such magnetic influence to riyit
the attention Of the audience during Col. Hol.
lIday's address. We are glad that, as il will
be printed entire, We are only obliged 10 give
brief sketch of the manner in which he
treated the nob!est theme that ever fell TO the
lot ofcratOr. He began by saying he deemed
1t vel! to honour the memory Of the heroic
deal, bringing cypress with which to deck
his grave, and a laurel with which to crown
the cause he adorned. lie said that our cause.
although humanity speaking lost, had not been
advocated in vain, FOR that the grave in which
1t lay buried contained precious gems from
whence a glorious result would ultimately
spring. He believed, he said. in the irumor.
tality Of right and truth. Col. Holiday then
reviewed the history OF the formation OF tho
Confederate Colonies Of America. and with
wonderful clearpess showed how the fanatics
of the North had pulled down pillar after
pillar from the constitution until central des.
POtism was enabled to cast i, away eutirely.-
Virginia, he said, viewing with grief the i'm.
lending ruin Of the fabric, in the erection of

M We invite the attention of all those
who have at heart the removal of the county.
seat to Charlestown, from where it was so
needlessly and SO unjus,ly removed, to the
proceedings Of the meeting held at Lee
HalF on Saturday. Its object and aim was
the adoption of such measures as deemed
most essential to encourage the hopes and
strengthen the hands OF those already em-
barked in cousummating the work The
committee appointed to act in concert with
Mr.. Travers, who is already at the post Of
duty, arc the right men in the right place,
aud if our people but sustain the Finance
Committee in its needed expenditure, the
change can soon be effected 4 small con-
tributiOu on the part of every one, favorable
to the measure, will be returned a hundred
fold in an economic sense, beside the con-
seriousness Of having assisted in the right as
against the wrOuS-fairness aud justice in
stead OF tyranny aud OpprcssiOn-and the
rendition of ''the greatest good to the great
est number" in every sense which effects the
common good of the people Of the county.

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

We have heretofore failed to comment up-
on the resolutions passed by the Board of
Supervisors some time since, at Shepherds
town, in part because we deemed it unworthy
OF consideration. Three out Of FIVE of the
Board had been rePudiated by the voters of
the county at the late election, and that thew
CHE old Board) should represent, by rcso>
luton adopted at one Of their regular meet
InEs, that the removal Of the Court House to
Charlestowu, at the present time, is against
the wishes and interests Of twO-thirds of the
Taxpayers, is an insult to the intelligence Of
the people Of Jefferson county.
The money Of the people has been most
recklessly expended in adjoining the Court
House at ShepberdstOwn, by this same Board,
and now when petition is about to be pre-.
sented tothc Legislature, at its present meeting,
to remove ie-to Chnrlestown, the uufouuded
assertion is made that such action is against
their interests. The list Of signers speaks
Tor itself. 1t numbers, We believe, about
2,5OO, many Of whom are the largest tax
payers IN the county. About $50 of the
names are citizens in aud around the town Of
ShepherdStown. The removal Of the Court
uouse to this place now, as it the course Of
things 1t is bound to come, will save the
county about IS, 900. An intelligent and re.
liable mechanic has taken the trouble 10 "a.
umatc the value Of the material in the walls
now stauding-uOt cTumbLny. If left cx-
posed to the weather for several years they
may be IN the runlbling condition described
by the Rcgister. Twelve thousand dollars in
money added to the material now on hand
will build better Court House than We ever
had. We wish the people to reflect upon
this. How much will it add to their taxes Z?
The money will be honestly and proftably
expended. 1t is we'll known that the whole
action Of the Board of Supervisors has been
to locate tho county>seat permanently at
ShePherdStown against the wishes of seven
tenths of the people of the county.
We hope the time will come when the
books of the late Board of Supervisors will
be Overhaulcd, and then tho people may be
able to find out why they have groaued uu>
der such taxation.
We think it useless to dwell upon this SUBJ
ject. If space allowed, VIC could show how
ROderick misreprCsentcd the people of his
township in voting for such resolution, aud
Why Ridenour preserved such strict ueu.
trali;y.
We venture to assert, when the subject is
properly presented, there is not an intelligent
man In the county who will not agree that
ChSTiestown Is the place for the Court House.
Seven tenths of the law business of the conn
y Is confined to the territory this side of the
b. L o. r. II. and such will always be the
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1871-01-24
