PULASKI, TENN, Nov. 4.-Johnson
spoke nearly three hours to-day to about
five hundred people. No enthusiasm among
his friends; they were disappointed in his
effort and with his reception here. No other
speech was made. He was not applauded
when he appeared upon the stand, nor
during his entire speech. When he closed
about dozen persons cheered him, and the
crowd gave three rousing cheers for Cheat
ham. johnson made no votes. Cheatham
will beat him at least two thousand in

How to Get Along.

If you have a place of business, be
found there when wanted, or in busi.
ness hours.
Do not stop to tell stories in busi.
ness hours.
No man can get rich by lounging in
stores and saloons.
Never "fooI' in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, lib.
erality, promptness.
Do not meddle with business you dc
not understand.
Never buy an article you do not need
simply because it is cheap and the man
who sells will take it out in trade.
Trade is money.
Endeavor to avoid hard words and
personalities.
Do not kick every stone in the path.
More miles can be made in a day by
going steadily on than stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond.
Aid, but never beg.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford to, simply
because it is fashionable.
Learn to say "no." No necessity of
Swapping it out dog-fashion, but say it
firmly and respectfully.
Have but few confdants, and the
fewer the better.
Use your own brains rather than
those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Be vigilant.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.

Pretty Women.

After all, is the world so very absurd
in its love of pretty women? Is woman
so very ridiculous in her chase after
beauty? A pretty woman is doing {
Woman's work in the world, not max
ing speeches, nor making puddings
but making life SUMMER and more beau.
tiful. Man has forsWorn the pursuit
of beauty altogether. Does he seek fol
it himself, he is guessed to be frivol.
GUS, he is guessed to be poetic, there
are whispers that his morals are nc
better than they should be. In socie.
ty resolute to be ugly there is no post
for an Adonis, but that Of a model or
guardsman.
But woman does for mankind what
man ceases to do. Her aim from child
hood is to be beautiful. Even as a
schoolgirl she notes the progress OF
her charms, the deepening color of her
hair, the growing symmetry Of her
arms, the ripening contour Of her
cheek. We watch, with silent interest,
the mysterious reveries of the maiden:
she is dreaming of coming beauty, and
painting for the glories of eighteen.
Insensibly she becomes an artist, he1
room is studio, her glass an academy,
The joy of her toilet is the Joy of Ra-
phael over his canvas, of Michael An
gelo over his marble. She is creating
beauty in the silence and loneliness Of
her chamber; she grows like any art
creation, the result of patience, OF
hopes, and of thousand delicate
touchings and retouchings.
Woman is never complete. A rest
less night undoes the beauty of the
day; sunshine blurs the evanescent
coloring of her cheek; frost nips the
tender outlines Of her face into sudden
harshness. Care ploughs its lines a.
cross her brow; motherhood destroys
the elastic lightness of her form; the
bloom of her cheek, the quick flash OF
her eye, fade and vanish as the years
go by.
But woman is still true to her ideal

THE TWO STUDENTS.
A BRIEF STORY.

In one of the cities in Europe, where
Jewish colleges abound, among the
many students there were two who
formed a sincere attachment for each
other. Although the one possessed
guineas and talent, the other-as is Of
ten expressed-had no head to learn
and it will be generally acknowledged
that, having no head, it was not his
fault that he could not benefit by the
instruction freely offered to him. They
were both very poor; yet, in the midst
of their poverty they were consoled in
the reflection that they were furnished
with clothing, board and lodging by a
wealthy Jewish patron, who, engaged
in commerce, felt it his duty to patron
ize learning, if even he had no time
for study-a course pursued in days of
old in Europe, and in some of it's cities
even now-an example which we might
with benefit emulate in America, and
which would be calculated to accom-
plish great amount Of good to the
cause of Israel.
One of the students employed his
time in studying Hebrew, religion and
modern languages; the other, having
no head, consequently no brain-which
is generally found in its interior-could
not expect to acquire much learning.
That he must have something above
his shoulders was evident, because he
frequently complained of his head ach-
ing; but this pain only occurred when
he attempted to study, and of course
compelled him to put down his book
and seek fresh air, or ramble through
the city. In those rambles he CHANGED
to meet young Jewess, and, ON in
quiring to whom she belonged, sought
an introduction to her family, which
was readily granted to a student who
was preparing for holy office.
Of course the young lady was not a.
ware that he was young man with
out head, for he had head enough to
talk to her, and in due time an attach
ment was formed, which ripened into
love, and the parents having no objec.
tion, arrangements were made for the
nuptials, the parents of the bride prom.
ising to find the young couple board
lodging, and its etceteras for period

while she was contemplating the rare
beauties of nature the doctor was con-
templating not only the charmes of her
person, but also those of her mind. AT
length 'the wonder ended" he was a.
about to make his best bow, when the
fascinating fair one, with an arch smile
Cooking at him rather askew in his
face), asked him whether he remem-
bered her or not?
"No, ma'ma," said he; "but I shall
not easily target YOU"
Then, linking her arm in that of a
gentleman who was of the party, she
asked in the same engaging manner, if
he remembered him? To which he
replied, that he thought he did; but
the gentleman looked better than when
he saw him before.

Providence, of making me totally diff

am now come to thank you for it.
Your half-in-jest and half-in-earnest
mode Of reproof caused me to know
myself; and was of far more use than
all that had been done before in cor
recting spoiled temper. After we
had left you," continued she, 81 said

your just reproof, and 1 dare say he
will join with me in thanking you for

Then, leaving his address, and he

Marriages in Eastern Hungary.

In the mountainous districts to the
extreme east of Hungary, at this sea-
son of the year, a fair is held of mar
riageable young men and women
From all quarters long trains of cha
riots wend their way to the plain of
Kalinosa. They are laden with house.
hold furniture, and followed by the
cattle of the family. In the midst of
these goods may be seen the young lady
whom her family has brought to seek
a husband at the fair. She is dressed
in her best, with brilliant silk scarf
and scarlet petticoat. These caravans
take up their position one after the
other on one side of the plain, while on
the other side a cavalcade of young
men approaches and deploys along the
whole line. The men-young Walla-
clans, for the most part-are dressed
in their best goatskins and make what
show of horsemanship they can. At
ter both parties have taken up their
respective quarters opposite each other,
the fathers step forward and begin to
negotiate marriages for their children.
The questions asked on these occasions
are, we fear, of a somewhat sordid
character. "How many bullock?"-
elbow much money!" "Your daugh.
ter's furniture looks rather old; that
chest of drawers does not tshut properly.
| must find something better than that
for my son." Such would doubtless
be a correct report of the conversations
held in this primitive, if not poetical,
Arcadia, previous to clinching the ma
trimonial bargain. The business is,
however, carried out with a prompti-
tude equal to its frankness. AS soon
as the parents are agreed priest, who
is always ready at hand, is summoned.
He chants a hymn and gives his bene-
diction, the bride then kisses her par
ents, mounts the chariot, and starts for
some unknown village with a husband
whom she has never seen before, the
furniture and cattle which her parents
have allowed her as marriage portion
following in the rear. -

She wont know when she is beaten,
and she manages to steal fresh victories
even in her defeat. She invents new
conceptions of womanly grace; she ral-
lies at forty, and fronts us with the
beauty Of Womanhood; she makes a
last stand at sixty, with the beauty of
age. She falls like Caesar, wrapping
her mantle around her-"buried in
woollen! 'twould saint provoke. -
Death listens pitifully to the longings
Of a lifetime, and the wrinkled face
smiles with something of the pretti-
ness of eighteen.-Ballou's Magazine.

How he sleepeth having drunken
Weary childhood's mandragare,
From his pretty eyes have sunken
Pleasures, to make room for more
Sleeping near the >withered nosegay, which he
pulled the day before.
Nosegays leave them for the waking!
Throw them earthward where they grew,
Dim are such, beside the breaking
Amaranths he looks unto
Folded eyes see brighter colors than the open
ever do.
Heaven-fowers, rayed by shadows golden
From the palms they sprang beneath,
Now perhaps divineiy holden,
Swing against him in a wreath
We may think so from the quickening of his
bloom and of his breath.
Vision unto vision calleth,
While the young child dreameth on.
Fair, dreamer, thee befalleth
With the glory thou hast won!
Darker vert thou in the garden, yestermorn,
by summer sun.
We should see the spirits ringing
Round thee-were the clouds away!
IT'S the child-heart draws them singing
In the silent-seeming clay
Singing Stars that seem the mutest, music
all the way
AS the moths around taper,
AS the bees around a rose,
As in sunset, many vapor-
So the spirits group and close
Round about holy childhood, as if drinking
its repose.
Shapes of brightness overlean thee,
With their diadems of youth,
Striking on thy ringlets sheenly-e
While thou smilest-not in sooth-
Thy smile-but the overfair one dropt from
some ethereal mouth.
Haply it is angels duty,
During the slumber, shade by shade
To fine down this childish beauty
To the thing it must be made
Ere the world shall bring it praises, or the
tomb shall see it fade.
Softly, softly make no noisesl
Now he lieth dead and dumb
Now he hears the angels voices
Folding silence in the room
Now he muses. deep the meaning of the heaven
words as they come.
Speak not he is consecrated-
Breathe no breath across his eyes.
Lifted up and separated
On the hand of God he lies,
In sweetness beyond touching-held in clois.
trail sanctities.
Could ye bless m-father-mother?
Bless the dimple in his cheek?
Dare ye look at one another,
And the benediction speak3
Would ye not break out in weeping and con.
fess yourselves too weak?
He is harmless-ye are sinful
Ye are troubled-he, at ease!
From his slumber, virtue winful
Floweth outward with increase
Dare not bless him but be blessed by his peace
and go in peace.
