Less Labor ana More Happiness.

We favor a system that shall con-
tribute most TO the happiness of the
individual and the class. If the one
hour saved from labor be devoted
to intellectual Improvement, il is
well. IL the laborer thus released
applies his leisure hour to his own
domestic business, 10 his garden or
his shop, to his needed rest or the
educ alton of his children, to the
pleasant interchange of ideas and
goodwill between neighbors, to al
most anything except dissipation,
idleness and debauchery-it will
prove a blessing, taking him out of
the enforced treadmilI of grinding
toll, and giving him a status in the
world above that of the mere toll
ing serf.
One hour a day saved from slaT-
ish toll, if rightly employed and i'm
proved, can be the means of Great
ing new class of men-new in
their capacities for enjoyment, as for
toll itself. The devotion of one
hour a day to self-educatisn, to men
tai development, can do what has
so often been done before; transform
mere drudges into thinking, intelli-
gent beings, with their capacities
for healthful enjoyment increased in
proportion to the cultivation of
their intellects. But this will not
be the result to the man who coVets
the one hour saved from toll in or
der that he may have so much more
time to devote to the shuffiing of
cards or the shaking of dice at the
corner grocery.
tits a common mistake made, that
release from the necessity of labor
ensures happiness. Employment is
the law of all really intelligent, GER
tainly all really progressive nations
and individuals. Others may exist,
but they do not live in the true
sense of the word. We must work
with the mind if not with the hands.
The invisible wheels and springs of
the brain must keep moving
Thought will be evolved, and in its
proper direction is the correct cue
to happiness. Let the laborer get
his release from the hitherto extra
hour or two of enforced toll and
then devote it sensibly to better
purposes than dissipation, or idle
ness, which leads to dissipation if
not TO vagabondage and crime.

JACKSON.

We spent several days in the above
f1ourishing city last week, attend
ing the Second Annual Fair of the
West Tennessee Agricultural and
Mechanical Society, which was a
grand and glorious success. The
crowd in attendance on Thursday,
numbered about 6000, which increas-
ed daily, and on Saturday, we think
there must have been something
near 1O,OOO -lersons on the grounds.
The exhibitions in the ring were
good, but nothing extraordinary.
The display in the Floral Hall and
Mechanical department. was grand
and the side shows, lottery cloths,
and gambling establishments gener-
ally, were almost innumerable. Yes,
Bob was there with his flying ponies
and some young ladies even were so
bold as to attempt to ride the poor
little things. Last week was one
of the liveliest and most exciting
that e.cr passed over Jackson.
Every hotel, private boarding house,
livery stable, sc, was Literally crow

place to rest their weary limbs. We

have to seek a resting place in man

ted a good deal of excitement and
some dissatisfaction. Every body
wanted the $4,000 but couldn't get
it.

hanks and Ranking.

Under this caption, Memphis Reg
ister takes fling at the general man
ner in which the busines of Banking
is conducted in the Statc--and it
must be confessed that there is both
truth and good sense in its sugges-
ton. That paper says:
Business is done behind the coun-
ter and favorities, not the commu-
nifty of solvent men impartially,
have the benefit of it. We need re-
form to save something from the
sharks which play around US. Not
one of the shaVing-shops, so miscall-
ed banks, suspends now without
coming out a mere skeleton. Some
body has grown fat. But the inno-
cent and the poor have grown lean
and suffer. We complain of Swar-
tout's, defaulting tax-collectors and
sherifis, &c, but bankers are priv
ileged class, and may do a little
rough stealing in Il smooth way
without censure. But these mat
ters are easy of correction by law.
Treat a defaulting, silk-stOcking
banker as you would one guilty OF
braech of trust, and punish him by
fine and Imprisonment as you
would a common felon. That is the
remedy, and it is not worth while
to mince matters about it. When
that is adopted, bankers will be
more careful not to exhaust the as
sets of other people.

..say amen to that, Brorhsr.p

In the South of New Jersey, some
years ago, there travelled over some
of the hardest counties, a good,
faithful, hard working brother, nam
ed James Moore, or Jimmy Moore
as he was famiiiariy called. A true
loyal Methodist, plain, pointed and
sharp In all his preaching and ex-
hOrtatiOns.
He had been laboring a year on
one of his circuits, and before leav-
ing for his new field he gave his peo-
Pile, who dearly loved him, his fare
well sermon.
At its close he said:
''My dear brethren, this is my last
address TO you. ! am going from
you and you may never hear the
voice Of Jas. Moore again."
"Amenl" came loudly from the
seat before him.
He looked at the man with q lit
tie surprise, but thinking il was a
mistake, went on:
''My days on earth win soon be
numbered. / am an old man, and
you may not only never hear the
voice of Jas. Moore, but never see
his face again"
"Amenw was shouted from the
same seat, more vigorously than be-
fore.
There was no mistaking the de-
sign now. The preacher looked at
the mamie knew him 10 be hard,
grinding man-stingy and merciless
to the poor.
He continued his address:
S'May the Lord bless all these Of
you who have done your duty, who
have honored Him with your sub
stance, who have been kind TO the
poor; and" Pausing and looking
the intruder straight in the eye, and
pointing to him with his finger
"May his curse rest on those who
have cheated the Lord aud ground
the poor under their heels. Say a.
men to that brother"
The shot told. He was not inter-
rupted again.

walking

Walking briskly, with an exciting
object of pIeasurable interest ahead,
is the most healthfuI of all forms of
exercise, except that Of encourage
ingly 'remunerative, steady labor in
the open air; and yet multitudes in
the city, whose health requires ex-
ercise, seldom walk when they can
ride if the distance is a mile or more.
1t is worse in the country, especial
" with the Well-to-dO; a horse or
carriage must be brought to the
door even if less distances have to
be passed. Under the conditions
first named walking is a bliss. 1t
gives animation to the mind, it Wv
flies the circulation, it paints the
cheek and sparkles the eye, and
wakes up the whole being, physical,
mental and moral. We know a fam
ily of children IN this city, who,
from the age of seven, had to walk
two miles to school, winter and
summer. Whether sleet or STERN,
or rain or burning sun, they made
it an ambition never to stay away
from school on account of the Wea-
ther, and never to be ''late," and
one of them was heard to boast that
in seven years it had never been
necessary TO give an excuse" for
being one minute behind time, even
although in winter it was necessary
to dress by gaslight. They did not
average two days sickness in year,
and later they thought nothing of
walking twelve miles at a time in
the Swiss mountains. Sometimes
they would be caught in drenching
rains, and wet to the skin. On such
occasions they made it a point to do
one thing, let it rain, and trudged
on more vigorously until every
thread was dry before they reached
home.

There's sorrow on the sea, boys
When storms are bowling round;
There's sorrow when the frantic winds
In dismal chorus sound
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
When tempests whistle by,
And troubled waters rage alec,
And thunders peal on high.
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
When gallant tars are slain,
Yet falling in their country's cause,
A crown Of glory gain;
There's sorrow when a shipmate dies
Far from his native land;
There's sorrow when the pitying crew
Around his hammock stand.
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
When famine marks our days,
When every messmate's famished look
The cannib2I betrays;
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
Yet landsmen have their care,
Go whittier you may please, boys,
And sorrow will be there.
There's sorrow en- the sea, boys,
But that shall shortly cease,
And we port shall find, boys,
Where reigns eternal peace
There evermore shall We, boys,
At anchor safely ride
Ne short allowance there, boys,
But every want supplied.
Aud there shall we enjoy, boys,

That all who do their best, boys,
Shall double rations draw;
And every one new rigged, boys,
On quarterback shall be
No more shall we complain, boys,

Fatality Among Hogs.

The Trenton NelCS has this para
graph:
In this county. especially east of
this city, new and fearful disease
has lately broken out among the
hogs. 1t has but little resemblance
to hog cholera, and Is much more
fatal, never falling to kill in q few
hours, and the hogs actually become
very offensive before death. Its
first symptoms soreness in the nose,
followed frequently by bleeding
Then the tongue commences TO
swell, protrudes from the mouth
and turns black, and the hog dies
frequently in an hour or less time
after being attacked. No remedy
has been discovered that affects il
in the least. We know several farm
ers living near this place who have
from this disease lost forty or fifty
hogs in fOrty-eight hours.
