&c Careful.

One cannot be two careful sometimes over
very small matters. We lately learned q cir
cumstance which will illustrate; A gentle
man in this city had the very idle and unbe-
coming habit of writing his name name wherever he
paper Law around One day he sat at business
mans desk, and, as usual, wrote his name this
time on clean sheet of paper and thought no
more of the matter. After he was gone his
friend filled up note of hand promising a
handsome' sum just above the signature and
put it in his pocket-book. f-sf-...
In due time he met the first gentleman and
presented the note for payment. Our hero pro-
tested that he did not remember signing it and
guessed it was a mistake, but was nevertheless
compelled to acknowledge that it was his sig
nature; After running the joke as long as he
pleased, his friend explained the matter and it
is natural to suppose that the said gentleman
has since been rather careful as to the manner
in which he dispenses his sign manual.

East Tennessee.

Any enterprise having this end i'll view,
will always receive our earnest support.
We want to see our population doubled,
and our wealth quadrupled before another
census shall be taken. We feel flattered
with the prospect, and believe that our
humble efforts already made in that direc-
ton are being appreciated. There are
more numbers of the CHRONICLE being
sent out of the State to those looking for
homes in Tennessee, than of any other
journal published in the State. We will
never relax our efforts to induce immigra-
ton to this State and to the South.

the present National Administration so
long as it conducts public affairs in the
satisfactory manner which has character

we believe the principles of the Republic

shall pursue this course aud advocate what
we believe to be right, with whateverabil-

of our nature, we will accord to others
the right to think and act for
themselves, and in our criticisms of those

which we expect in return from those who
may differ with us.
But while we are earnestly engaged in
these partisan discussions, our chief aim

points upon which the success of life depends
An Englishman went as a gold hunter to Aus
tralia. He toied several months and made
nothing. One day he had a severe toothache
and he remembered that his mother used to plug
his teeth with India rubber. He found an old
rubber bucket and, chipping off bic, filed his
tooth and it was cured. Immediately vision
of wealth was opened before his eyes He had
an idea. With the old bucket as capital, he at
once opened a dentists shop az the mines
Miners came focking in with cavernoris teeth,
old bucket, and before our heros capital was all
used up he had amassed snug little sum. Such
good fortune is popularity called meeting a
streak of luck" but we are inclined to think
there's something else at the bottom of it-viz:
energy and knowing when TO strike. ~ ! n
