Natur never makes emmy plumbers.
When she makes a phOOl she means it.
| hav finally cum tew the kOnklusion
that the majority Ov mankind kan be
edukated on the back better than in
the brain, for good clothes will often
make a phool respectable, while educa-
shun only serve tew show his weak
pints.
| never knu a man yet whose name
waz George Washington Lafayette
Goodrich, Esq, and who alwuz signed
his name for the full amount, but " hat
wuz q bigger man on paper than he
wuz by natur.
AS a gineral thing, an individual
who IL neat in his person IL neat in hiz
morals.
Man IL my brother, and | konsider
that | am carer related to him thru
his vices than | am thru his virtews.
Thare IL nothing about which the
world makes so few blunders, and the
individual so menny, az a mans ack-
tual Importance among his fellow
critters.
A mar with a very small head IL
like a pin without emmy, very apt tew
get into things beyond his depth.
The pashuns Ov an old man are often
like his teeth, they cease to trouble him
simply bekause the nerve is dcd.
The only pedigree worth transmittin
IL virtew, and this IL the very thing
that kant be transmitted.
Affectashun haz made more phools
than the Lord haZ.
About the nearest tew absolute in
solvency that Il man kan git in this
world, and think he IL dieing rich, IL to
leave nothing but-a pedigree tcw hiz
family.
| don't pretend tew hav emmy less
vile pashuns than my nabOrs, but do
despite the person most heartily who
caters tew those / hay got.
Thare IL no pashun ov the human
heart that promises so much and pays
SO little as revenge.
Thare haint no man yet lived long
enuff in this world tew doubt the infal-
libility ov his Judgment.
Thare IL this odds between n humOF-
Gus lektur and a scientiffick one, you
hav got tew understand the humorous
lektur tew enjoy it, but you kan enjoy
the scientilicS one withOutUnderstand-
ing it.
1t IL but step from zeal tew bigotry,
but it IL a step that IL most generally
taken.
Don't lay emmy certain plans for the
fewter, it IL like planting tuds, and eX-
pekting tew raze tudstoOls.
No man yet who had strength ov
mind enuff ever resorted tew cunning.
Cunning IL half brother tew fear, and
they are both ov them weakness.
A man who IL good company for
himself IL always good company fol
others.
Genuine praize consists in naming a
mans faultz to hiz face, and .hiz good
qualitys tew hiz back. 80.
sOne ov the best temporary cures fol
prideTand affectashun that | have evel
seen tried IL s~ea-sickness; a man who
wants tew vomit never puts on airs.
A fault concealed IL but little better
than II INDUCED in.
Witty speeches are like throwing
stones at a target, the more time spent
in taking aim the less danger thare i,
in hitting the mark.
Ihav alwus noticed one thing, whel
a person bekums disguised with thi.
world, and konkludes to withdraw
from 1t the world very kindly lets thu
person went.

of right, our integrity Of thought, in
spired by a broad, earnest sympathy
for and with the people, the press OF
Tennessee will be what it ought to be-
without It, the press is nothing but a
shadow.
These, gentlemen of the press, are
the thoughts that have suggested them

ed to elucidate what | conceive to be
the power of the press. If we do our
duty, if we live up to these aspirations
and discharge honesty these obligations
from which we cannot escape, for which
we are responsible to the people and
the great public who look to us, we
will at the same time preserve our
selves from all those faultsand all those
crimes which the acquisition OF power
usually brings with it. Perhaps my
views are somewhat ~cXtraVagant rs to
the position to beoccupiedb 10y the mem-
hers of the press; but | am convinced
that it requires as many traits of the
highest character to be successful in
journalism as in any of what r called
the learned professions. expect to
see the day when all our established
universities will have n department
that will teach the duties and reSpon'
sibilities of journalism rs they do now
of the law. | expect to see the day
when the example set by that eminent
seat of learning in Virginia will be gen
eplly initiated.

A Band OF Heroes.

AT the siege of Merckhem, Lord
Randlet, who had command of the in
vesting force, learned that a heavy
body Of the enemy's allies was coming
upon him'fr0m the rear, and he at once
decided that thetOwn must be speedily
taken, or his position would b. an eX-
tremely peril0us one. The only points
of the towns .defences Which could be
successfully attacked We're, as he had
accidentally discovered, al undermined
in such a manner that the mines could
be sprung from within at any moment.
In this dilemma he mustered his SOL
diers, and explained to them the situa-
ton.
Of we remain inactive twelve hours
longer" said he, 1--WE shall be cut in
pieces by the advancing host. Retreat
is impossible. We must take that town,
or perish. The springingof one of the
cnemy's mines will give us breach
through which We II enter; but to
cause the springing of mine a dctach-
ment Of ON. command must advance
upon the wall-and to thus advance
will be death. Who will lead, and who
will follow, to save the army and up
hold our flag
An Irish captain Of cavalry, named
Mcnamara, stepped forth and volun-
teered to lead the way; and ere long
forty brave, devoted men had advanced
to his standard.
Tears gathered in Lord Randlet's
eyes as he gave his farewell orders y
the heroictroop. "GO,n he said, "and
if you fall, rs fall you must, your mem
cries shall be enshrined in the hearts o
your countrymen; and.may the God o
battles bless you!n
Sternly and unfalteringly the devotel
troop advanced, Just before reaching
the spot where they knew the mine Il
he located, Mcnamara halted, ant
called for a flask of wine,
81 drink. said he, tiny last toast Il
those who fall bravely in battlew
He had raised the flask to his lips
and was in. the act Of drinking, when
loudshout from his companions arrest
ed his attention. 49,
The town had capitulated. tn
brave men were spared, but they ha
had opportunity to display a herOisr
grand and sublime. S. G., BR,,

Theory or Feeding Cattle.


A farmer has three, things to consil-
err, witt. three distinct objects to attain
in feeding his cattle, to wit: LIST, to
make bone; ID, to make flesh; 81, to
make fat; without the first he can have
no flesh, and without flesh he can have
no fat. This being so, II is absolutely
necessary In. feeding cattle that their
food shall contain all the elements of
bone, flesh and fat; the former should
be plentifully furnished to the growing
animal, and the latter when fattenlng
for the shambles. Bone has for It's ele-
ments phosphoric acid and lime; flesh
has gluten, fbrine etc, aud Fat has ear
bon, IL Is necessary, therefore, that
cattle feed should contain all these in
due proportion to their wants with ref
efence to the purposes In view; in the
young bone and flesh constituents are
feQ0ifed, aud theseRre found insWedes,
.cabbages potatoes, with good hay OF
grass, according to the season Of the
year; flesh, with Q view TO fattening,
grain, OIL, meal, with hay and grass,

it Is audacious to call that virtue q
crime which makes a man independent
Of the poor-house, and saves him from
being a beggar and an inmate of pris-
ons and jails! And then these Chinese
are to be prosecuted because they care
and know little about churches,
schools, societies, and social and polit-
ical institutions. All! poor tricksters
with words, do you not see that the
same Indictment, literally, can be
brought against thousands upon thou
sands of white men, rich and poor, of
San Francisco and every other great
city? If neglect Of church, indlffer,
ence to education, freedom from social
restrictions, and keeping aloof of poll
tics and elections are to be counted as
offences worthy the penalty Of Danish
ment, a pretty clean sweep might be
made Of some white populations In
this country.-N. y. Journal Of Com
