The editor of the Henderson (Ky.) Neaos
Is bound to succeed in lie. for he knows
how to weather adverse circumstances.
Hear him: "A former subscriber, who dis
continued his Neacs because he could not
maseit say just such things IS he thought
it ought to say, has, we learn, recently ex-
pressed considerable surp Use to bis friends
that the paper should keep running since
he had withdrawn his patronage It was
pretty close for q while we confess; but by
emitting to put sugar in our tea, and by
buying cheaper grade of paper collars and
reversing them for the second and third
time, we managed to rub along until ne W
subscriber came and took the place of our
respected but-disgusted friend-snd then
Richard was himself again. Nothing but
rigid economy will carry one safe over such
calamity as the loss of a subscriber, espe-
cially when he has not paid bis subscrip-
ton for two years."
eve have several pigs that eat corn-s
barrel or two from delDquents would be
acceptable at this time, as well as few
hundred pounds Of -four" Thus does a
Tennessee editor disclose to The public
g re The sad condition of his domestic az
fairs, and the distress and suffering of his
family. The deliDqu mt subscriber who
can read, unmoved, the foregoing pathetic
appeal, Is hardened wretch indeed. -
A delicate perfume pervsdes the Office
occupied by Recorder Duling aud bis trusty
henchman, Billy Brown, and the dingy win
dow of said apartment is made to blossom
as the rose, because OF some fair lady hav-
ing sent in several pots of flowers accomps-
MED by a dsintily written card, bearing The
romantic cognomen ofthe henchman afore-
said.
Our musical critic notices with feelings of
the most exquisite satisfaction, the efforts
the citizens of Nashville are putting forth
to adorn and beautify their homes by sod
ding their grounds, planting out trees,
shrubbery aud flowers. Our M. g. has q
large number Of very touching aud pathetic
ideas on the subject of making home at
tractive, which Il is his Intention to make
public at no distant day. From his earliest
recollection, he has sighed for hcme in
the country-a sweet, secluded spot, where
he would be freed from the turmoils and
cares OF the sor0id world; place where
his asthetic nature would find nothing to
disturb its delicate sense of the eternal fit
ness of things; quiet retreat, where, sur
rounded by the sweet-voiced soDgstress, bis
life would glide peacefully along uEdisturb-
ed by the jarring disc ord of the busy world.
The s.. Louis Journal man ussd to write
poetry when he was boy, aud he had a
reputation in that line extending over an
area of country three miles long, four miles
wide and a mile thick. His sensitive ma
ture received o severe rebuff when his
proposition TO trade bushel basket of his
beautiful poems seven up" for weeks
board, was refused with scorn by bis prac-
tical landlady. But that was in the days of
lang syne. He's got more sense now. In
deed, it would be impossible for a man to
live fifty or sixty years ard not know more
than lhs Journal mn at that ado 'escent
period of his existence. This is what be
wrote on his sixty-sAcond birthday, which
occurred Last week: "The sudden return of
winter has killed hundreds of acres of young
onions and several thousand young poets.
We can spare the poets, but The young
onions cannot be replaced"
