An Editor Of Two Papers.

An antiquated writer in the Memphis
AlPeai has dug up out of his memory
the following rich story. The young
lawyer referred to is still fourishing in
Memphis: "There was never greater To-
cal excitement than that which grew out
OF the navy-S ard business. Halt the peo-
pie were in favor OF accepting the prop
erty, and half or more opposed to ii, the
latter, thinking that the Government
might be induced even yet to make lib
eral appropriations and perfect the navy
yard and build ships and steamers here.
There were two newspapers published
here-one a morning publication, edited
by a gentleman of no ordinary ability
named Bankhead, who was tragicalIy and
ysteriously assassinated some six years
ago. There was another, an afternoon
paper, called the NeacS, Il believe that
was its name), edited by a man named
Yancey. These editors opposed each
other on the navY-yard question, and
their discussion had bcgottrn good deal
Of excitement, when both went away for
the summer, and each, without the 9TH
er's knowledge, employed the same man,
this young lawyer, to conduct his paper
in his absence. The young limb of the
law naturally enough took to both sides
of the question. He made the contro-
versy between the two papers grow hot
ter and hotter on each successive day.
Crowds gathered each afternoon about
the NesoS Office, and somebody expected
that the two furious editors would shed
blood. Tue coming duel in Arkansas
was confidently anticipated, and the feroc
i,y of the two papers was marvellous.
Popular excitement was intense when
Bankhead came hurrying home from
Virginia, and Yancey from Alabama,
each thinking that the other was about
to murder his own substitute. Such was
the fervor of popular feeling and exaspe-
ration that the story was necessarily kept
quiet. Ii the mischievous fraud upon
the public passion had been exposed at
the time, the cor an,Ore editor would
have been hanged to lamppost."

Life's Success and Joy,


Life IS 10 fancy picture. 1t is not
bright dream, which flashes across the
imagination, nor floating bubble, cast
upon the ocean OF time to reflect for an
hour with brilliant spIendors The shoot
ing suubeamS, and then vanish forever
but ii is a stcarn and abiding reality,
which ceases not with time. Nor has
any man, whatever genius, risen to emin-
ence in any profession, except by un-
wearied toll and patient labor. Do you
wish to live in the grateful remembrance
Of coming generations, you must do
something. You must make yourself
known by at least one noble work in
life. You must carve out your earthly
immortality by your own chiSel, driven by
The vigorous strokes of your own ann.
Many man has failed to accomplish
anything, because he has tried TO do
everything, a man dividing his strength
remains a pigmy, while the same man,
concentrating his powers, becomes Il
giant. The man who can do one thing
well, lnscrihes his name upon the scroll
of ordly honor; while he who can do a
thousand things but ordinarily, is never
heard OF beyond the circle OF his own
friends.
1t is having the life inspired with one
mighty thought, the whole nature cry
ing out, as did the distinguished German
scholar llerdcr, upon his dying bed,
"Give me "A great thought that | may
quicken myself with it."-it is conceni-
ration ofpurpose and effort and will, that
constitutes true greatness and wins the
reputation of genius. Ii genius is any
thing, it is knowing how to husband the
powers that God has given us, and to
apply them i'll the direction which nature
seems to Indicate.
But life is not only scene of labor,
conflicts and victories, but also of enjoy
ment. Many are the sources of enjoy
ment, innocent and blessed, to break
llte's mouotony, and render 1t gladstone.
elite is but winters day, valo OF
tears," is the sad and solemn refrain of
many, whose lives should be beautiful
and joyous Oh account of the sunshine
overheath and Of the flowers beneath the
feet. How many go through life under
the ever blackenlng clouds, instead OF
gathering everywhere the golden beams.
How many drink of lite's marshes malari-
GUS and deadly, instead of its gurgIing
fountains, joy-lnspiring and life-giving.
We have no sympathy with the old stole
notion that piety demands an elongated
countenance, and sad and solemn brow
as il beholding Providence with irown-
ing face and no golden glow beyond.
God designed that we should be happy
and it is no sin to give vent to this feel
ing i'll merry laughter 1t is indicative
of an unviliated nature--of heart tha,
has something of humanity in it.

Slaen on Your Cares.

Men of business, believe Dc, there is
now and Then profitable venture in do
ing nothing at all. In the power to put
business aside, and abiding now and then
in perfect quiet, things sometimes solve
themselves, when we give them that ad-
vantage, which refuse TO come clear ior
all our trying. We all know how, 10y
simply taking some perplCXi!y into the
deepest silence this side OF dcath-a good
nights slrcp-we can do better some
times than il we sat UP aud wrought at
our task all migh!. When Matthew Aiur-
ray, of Leeds, wanted to see his way
through some sore perplcNity i'll his ill.,
ventiOns, and ali other effort was of no
use, he rested day and night from all
noise, and all Effort save the effort, an ac-
tive man has to keep himself quiet land
then the thing he wanted would steal i'll
and look at him, and light Oh him, and
stay, rs birds used to Ii ght on the old
hermits, no more afraid vi them than Of

mothers, you may cale and toll incessaut-
ly for your little ones, never resting 4
moment in your devotion, and then, be-
cause you never do quit, but enter into
your very closet with Il little irock to
mend, YOU shall never be quite able to
take the whole sunlight and sum OF yonr
motherhood into your heart. You will
be 50 tul Of care about the bread that
periShus rs to miss the bread that comrth
down from heaven. No person in the
world needs 50 much, now and then, to
be still, and open her suul only TO the
silence as an earnest, energetic, whole
hearted mother. Tins eternal activity is
almost sure TO run al last in shadows.

That plenty may her gifts brstow?

And malice fills the carper's sails,

And for the future have no fears

these journals changed that they should

Golden Rnles of Life,

All the air and exercise in the universe
and the most liberal table, but poorly
suffice to maintain human stamina, if we
neglect other co-operatives, ramcly, obo,
dirnce to the Laws Of abstinence, and
those of ordinary graliticat on. We st
with headache aud set about puZ2lng
ourselves with the cause. We then re-
collect that we had Il hard days tag,
or that we trasted oypr-bOuntcously, or
that we staid up very late; AT all events,
we incline to find out the fault, and then
call ourselves TO Dis tor falling into il.
Now, this is an occurrence happening
almost every day; and these are the
points which run away with the best
part of our lie before we find out which
is for good or evil. Let Gny single indi-
vidual review his past life how instant
taneoIsly the blush will cover his check
when he thinks Of the egrcgious errors
he has unknowngly committed say uu-
knowingly, because it never occurred TO
him that they were errors until the effects
followed that betrayed the cause. All
our sickness and ailments and brief life
depend upon ourselves. There are thous-
auds who practice errors day after day,
and whose perva6lng thought Is, that
everything W hich is agreeable and pleas
ant cannot be hurtiul The slolhtul man
loves his bed; the tope: his drink,
because it throws him into an cXhiIara-
tive and exquisiliIe mood the gourmand
makes his stomach his god; and the
sensualist thinks his delights unperiSh.
able. So we go or, and at last we stumble
aud break down. We then begin TO re,
fleet, and the truth starcs us in the face
how much we are TO blame.

CUnE For HORSE PULLING AT HALTER
year ago, had II four year Old horse which
had contracted the habit of pulling back
whenever she was fastened. She would be
sure to break loose, if what held her could be
broken by her drawing in a backward way,
She was cared of the habit by taking rope
few feet hong, fastening one end around her
body just back of her shoulders, and passing
the other end through the ring of the halter
and tying to the post. She lay back for her
usual pull few times when fixed in this way,
but soon found she WAS drawing from her body
instead of her head, which she did not relish
and soon gave 1t up entirely, She can now be
left anywhere with perfect safety, as nothing
will induce her to pull back when fastened.

How TO SELECT FLoUR.-1. Look at its
color; if it is white with a slightly yellowish
or straw-colored tint it is good sign. If it is
very white with Oluish cast, or with black
spccks in it, the -four is not good. 2. Examine
lis adhcsivcncss; wet anl knead a little of il
between the fingers, it it works dry and elastic
it is good; ii it works soft ana sticky it is
poor. Flour made from spring wheat is apt
to be sticky. 3. Throw little lump of dry
-four against dry, SIN both, perpendicular sur
face; it it adhrres in lump. the -four has life
in it; ii ii falls like powder, the -four is bad.
L. Squeeza some of the -four in your hand; if
it retains the shape given by the pressure, that,
too, is Il good sign. Flour that will stand all
these tests it is safe to bIy, TAeje modes are
giYen by old fllnI .leNlers.
