Death of DR.. John w. Richardson,

D8aLh OK Dr. > on N AElChaE0SC NJ
We chronicle with the deepest re-
gret this morning the death of DIR.
J. w. Richardson. He died last
Tuesday morning, at his residence,
near the Nashville turnpike, 8 or
nine miles from this city. He had
been sick about twelve days, and
died of typhoid pneumonia. DP.
Richardson had long been a member
of the Christain church. He was
upwards of sixty years old at his
decease, and had been a practicing
physician fer about forty years, and
had long been regarded as a prom
inent member in his profession. He
had also taken a prominent part in
the political affairs of this Statate,
beiag regarded as one of the shreWd-
est leaders of the Whig party in the
country. He ranked with Bell and
ZOllicotfer in his party, and no man 5
words or cOunsels were more res
pected or acted upon by the old
Wing party than his. DI. Richard
son was q man Of no ordinary abili-
| ty, and manifested a superior de-
gree of talent in every thing that he
undertook. He has devoted him.
self exclusively to his profession
since the war, not only in the prac-
/ tice, but has written a good deal on
medical subjects. He had served
this county in both branches of the
Legislature, and reflected much
credit on himself and his county,
lie was a useful man, q consistent
Christian, respected citizen, and
highly esteemed among his neigh
bors. DR.. Richardson had an ex
tensive acquaintance throughout
the State, who will hear the an
nouncement of his death with thl
/ deepest regret.-NuT. NetCs.

BE Kind TO the Poor.

Ayl be kind to them, Ye who
have never pissed through dreary
winter with chsttering teeth and
limbs palsied with cold. who have
I never prayed for the sweet forget
iuiness Of sleep, to shut out for q
brief season th5 frost whose icy
breath struck a chill TO your heart;
and who have never been a prey to
tne cank ker-worm of grief and mise
-, which all these sufferings entail,
we pray you, be kind to he poOri
be kind 10 the poor. Yes, for the
blessings of prosperity which HRav-
en- has shoWered upon you, will
yield you no true happiness if 9th
ers are starving. Heaven has plac-
ed you on earth, has exposed you to
Ike chances Of want and wretched-
ness. In a pharisaical spirit then,
thank not God ''that you are not as
other men," but rather with publi-
cans sue humbly for mercy, aud en-
nance the efficacy of prayer by char
Z ity and kindness. \ satisfied con-
science sheds a peace and comfort
Through the heart and soul, with
iout which the immortal spirit can
not be satisfied. Follow not then
after the selfishness of the world
around you, unless like Dives, thou
woulds hereafter reap his fate, and
view amidst thy torment the poor
man on AbrahaIa's bosom. BE kind
10 the poor. Earth has more sorrow
than the heart can contain, more of
=. .fesing than frail nature can bear.
I ae W1Gow left TO toll and stIuggle
aeo{sz an = - the desclaticn of ba-
reaVement appeals in tones more ell
oquent than words, for your sympa-
thies and aid. The helpless orphan,
brought into the world and left a.
lone by the relentless hand Of death,
claims your guardianship and pro-
lection. And as you expect con-
tinuance of the mercies and bless
ings of Heaven, so in this wise be
merciful to others; then shall the
gates OF plenty and honor be open
to thee, and the pillow ofpeace kiss
thy cheek.

An address by the clown Of Jno.

An address by the clown of Jno.
Robinson's circus to his audience:
"My friends, we have taken in a.
bout six hundred dollars here to-
day-more money, L venture to say,
than any minister of the gospel in
this county viii receive for a whole
years service. A large portion Of
this money was given by Church
members, as a large portion of this
audience is made up of members of
the Church. And yet when your
preachers ask you for money to aid
in supporting the gospel, you say
you are too poor to give anything.
Yet you come here and pay dollars
to hear me talk my nonsense. am
fool because | am paid for il; |
make my living by it. You profess
to be wise, and yet you support me
in my folly. But perhaps you say
you did not come to see the circus,
but the animals. All, now, this is
all an excuse. If you came simply
to see the animals, why did you not
look at them and leave? Why did
you stay to hear my nonsense?-
Now, is not this a pretty place for
Christians to be in? Do you not
feel ashamed of yourself? You
ought to blush with shame TO be
caught in such place as thisn'-

BEATITUDE.

The universal instinct Of repose,
The longing for confirmed tranquility
Inward and outward, humble, yet sublime.
The life where hope and memory are as one,
Earth quiet and uncharmed, the human soul
Consistent In self-rule. and heaven revealed
To omeditation, In that quietness.

MIX sickness In Haywood c0un-
Iy-SiDguIar Fatality in n Pam
lily.

The 24th of October, Mr.. Jos. L.
Woods died, after a brief but pain
ful illness, at mis- residence in Hay-
wood county. Miss Lou. Highto-
mer, another member of the family
"A neice OF Mrs. Woods-was taken
i'll and survived Mr.. Woods only
three days. The symptoms in both
cases was the same, aud was attrib-
uted to what iS known in that regi-
on of country as milk sickness, sup
posed to be caused by drinking milk
from COWS that had eaten some
poisonous vegetable or mineral sub
stance. Other members of the fami-
ly were attacked at the same time,
with symptoms more or less aug
mented. Amongst this number
was Mrs. Woods. She was remOy-
ed to the residence of her brother,
DIR. Robert e. Foster, of Nashville,
where she fingered in much pain till
Sunday last, the 24 inst, just one
month after the death of her hus-
band, when she, too, passed away.
The victims of this sad catastrophe
were formerly residents of Nashvill,
where they occupied high social
positions, and were much esteem
ed. Mr.. and Mrs. Woods were the
son-in-law and daughter OF Robert
c. Foster, Esq, of Haywood county,
for nearly a half century prom
inent member of the Tennessee bar,
while Miss Hightomer was his grand
daughter, and daughter of the
late DIR. Richard Hightomer, of
Williamson. Three interesting lit
tie boys, now dOubly orphaned in
the death of both Parents, survive
Mrs. Woods.

GOOD MANNERs.-Young folks
should be mannerly. How to be so,
is the question? Many a good girl
and boy feels that they can't behave
themselves in the presence of COM
pany. They feel timid, bashful and
saf-distrustful the moment they are
addressed by q stranger, or appear
in company. There is but one way
to get over this feeling and to ac-
qaire easy and graceful manners;
that is, to do the best they can all
the time at home, as well as abroad.
Good manners are not learned by
arbitrary teaching so much as acqui-
red by habit. They grow upon US
by use. We must be courteous, a.
gTeeable, civil, kind, gentlemanly
and womanly at home, and then it
Will become kind of second nature
to be so everywhere. A coarse,
rough manner at home begets hab-
it of roughness, which we cannot
lay aside if we try, when we go a.
mOng strangers. The most agreea-
BILE people we have ever known in
company, are those who are perfect
" agreeable at home. Home is the
school for all good things, especial
ly for good manners.

GIRLs.-It is the power of young
girls to make themselves very dear
and very useful to their married
friends, and to render them such
services as are beyond all price. In
time of sickness and of sorrow, the
sympathy and presence of beloved
female friend are among the best
of heavens gifts; while she who ad-
ministers to the afflicted, is as much
blessed as blessing. Let noIyoung
person stay away from q friend who
is i'll or in affiiction, from the fear
that her experience will render her
company undesirable; all who have
strong affections, and ready power
OF sympathy, can make themselves
acceptable, and, in endeayoring to
do so, will increase their own hap
piness. Never let mere convent
ence induce You to stay at the hou-
ses of persons whom you cannot es-
TEEN; by so doing you bring on
yourself the duties of a friend,
without having the sentiments that
would make their discharge easy.

So Near and Yet so Far.

Man dwells apart, though not alone,
He walks among his peers unread;
The best of thoughts which he hath
known,
For lack Of listeners are not said.
Yet dreaming on earth's clustered isles,
He saith, They dwell not lone like
men.
Forgetful that their sun-fecked smiles
Flash far beyond each others ken"
He looks on Gods eternal suns
That sprinkle the celestial blue,
And saith, tAh. happy shining ones,
would that men were grouped like
you"
Yet this is sure, the loveliest star
That clustered with its peers we sec,
Only because from us so far,
Doth hear its fellows seem to be.
