Borrowing TrOnble,

The habit of borrowing trouble is wrong
because it is unbelief. God has promised
to take care of us. The Bible blooms with
assurances. Your hunger will be fed your
sickness will be alleviated; your sorrows
will be healed. God will sandal your feet,
and shield your heart, and smooth your
path, and along by frowning crag and
opening grave sound the voices of victory
and good cheer. The summer clouds that
seem thunder-charged, really carry in their
bosoms harvests of wheat, and shocks of
corn, and vineyard purpling for the wine
press. The wrathful wave will kiss the
feet of the great Storm-walker. Our great
Joshua will command and above your soul
the sun of prosperity will stand still. Bleak
and wave-struck PatmOs shall have apOca-
lyptic vision, and you shall hear the cry of
elders, and sweep of wings, and trumpets
of salvation, and the vice of halleluiah un-
to God forever,
Your way may wind along dangerous
bridle-paths, and amid VOLTS howl and
the scream of the vulture but the way
still winds upward, till angels guard it, and
trees of life overarch it, and thrones line it,
and crystalline fountains leap on it, and
the pathway ends at the gates that are
pearl, and streets that are gold, and tenn
piles that are always open, and hills thai
quake with perpetual sun, and city ming
ling forever sabbath and jubilee and tri

The English Political Situation

LONDON, March 15.-The report that
Disraeli has refused the premiership is I'M
true. He simply refused the difficulties he
would have to confront.
Lord Derby has arrived from Paris, and
has had long conference with Disraeli.
1t is probable that Disraeli will accept
the office and finish the business of the SEES
sion by June and dissolve the parliament.s
The Conservatives all over the country
are confident of the result of the election.
The Weekly Economist says: 1t is ru-
mored that Derby yields to the request of
the Conservatives to undertake the fOrma-
ton of the Cabinet. The Spectator gives
currency to the same report, but says
Derby has determined TO appeal to this
country.
LATEST, 5 p. M.-Disraeli has waited on
the queen, she giving her reasons for inn
polling him to decline the office.
Derby concurs with Disraeli that the
Conservatives cannot accept the responsi
bility of forming the Government at this
time.
Earl Derby and Disraeli have declined
the responsibility of forming new min
istry. Nothing definite has trauspired

BYRON'S FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE,
Fare the we'll and if for ever,
Still foravar faro fh no wall

Fare the we'll and if for ever,
Still forever fare thee we'll:
Even though unforgiving, never
'Gainst thee shall nay heart rebel
Would that breast were barred before thee
Is Where thy head so oft bath lain, ID M
While that placid sleep came DER the
a.1 Which thou ne'e r canst know again.
Would that breast, by thee glanced DER,
Every Utmost thought could show!
r. Then thou would st at last discover
IT was not well to spurn it so.
Though the world for this commend thee
Though it smile upon the blow,
Even its praises must offend thee,
Founded on another's woe:
Though my many faults defaced me,
Could no other arm be found,
Than one which once embraced me,
To inf1ict cureless wound?
Yet oh yet, thyself deceive not;
Love may sink by slow decay, -
But by sudden wrench, believe not
Hearts can thus be torn away.
Still thine own its life retaineth-
Still must mine, though bleeding, beat
And the undying thought which paineth
1s-that we no more may meet. %
These arc words of deeper sorrow
Than the wall above the dead
Both shall live, but every morrow
Wake US from widow bed.
And when thou would solace gather
When our child's first accents flow,
Wilt thou teach her to say rather!
Though his care she must Srego?
When her little hands shall press thee,
When her lip to thine is press'd,
Think of him whose prayer shall bless thee,
Think of him thy love had bless'd.
Should her lineaments resemble
Those thou never more may'st see,
Then thy heart will softly tremble
With pulse yet true to me:
All my faults perchance thou knowcst
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes where er thou goest,
Neither, yet with thee they go.
Every feeling hath been spoken;
Pride which not world could bow,
Bows to thee-by thee forsaken,
Even my soul forsakes me now;
But tits done-all words are idle
Words from me are vainer still
But the thoughts we Can not bride
Force their way without the will .
Fare thee we'll thus disunited,
Torn from every nearer tie,
Searr d in heart, and love- and blighted
Moreithan this scarce can die.

How TO Get the Best Place.

I saw a young man in the Office of a
Western railway superintendent. He was
occupying a position that four hundred boys
in that city would have wished to get. 1t
was honorable and sit paid WELL" besides
being in the line of promotion. How did
he get it? Not by having rich father, for
he was the son of laborer. The secret was,
his beautiful accuracy. He began as an er-
rand boy, and did his work accurately.
His leisure time he used in perfecting his
writing and arithmetic. After awhile he
learned to telegraph. AT each step his en-
ployer commended his accuracy, and re-
lied on what he did because he was sure it
was just right. And it is thus with every
occupation. The accurate boy is the favor
ed one. Those who employ men do not
wish to be on the constant lookout, as
though they We're rogues or fools. If a car
penter must stand at his journeyman's ell
bow to be sure his work is right, or if
cashier must run over his bOOk-keeper's
columns, he might as well do the work
himself as employ another to do it in that
way; and it is very certain that the EN-
ployer will get rid of such an inaccurate
workman as soon as possible.
/ knew such a young man. He had
good chance to do well, but he was so inac-
curate and unreliable that people were
afraid to trust him. If he wrote deed,
or mortgage, or contract, he was sure
either to leave out something or put in
something to make it an imperfect paper,
He was lawyer without business, be-
cause he lacked the noble quality of accu-
racy. Just across the street from him was
another young lawyer, who was proverbial
for accuracy. He was famous for search
ing titles, and when he wrote out the his
tory of a title to piece of property, it was
taken for granted as just so. His aim was
absolute accuracy in everything. If he
copied conveyance, or cited legal au-
thOrity or made statement, he aimed to
do it exactly. The consequence is, he is
having valuable practice at the bar, and
is universally esteemed.
''But," says some boy, "when become
a man, that is the way [ shall do. l mean
to be very accurate"
Perhaps so. / could tell better if knew
just how you do your work now. There
are several ways of getting a lesson. One
is, to get it "tolerably WE'LL" which does
not cost much labor the other way is to
get it faultlessly well, which costs a great
deal of labor. A boy can get general idea
of his lesson sin a jiffy," but to get it with
accuracy is very hard, and requires both.
time and industry. If you, my boy, to-
day are getting your lesson in a slipshod
way, you will grow up slipshod man
but, if to-day your habit is to get every
lesson with perfect accuracy, [ will war
rant you will do that way when you be-
come man. How is it?-Er.

FROM NASHVILLE,
The Funding Bill i'm the Lower HOuS
Eloquent speech by Hon. l.. C. Houk.
The BroWniOW Fully Government Rec.
rr..e OgniZed. ee.
Reputation Strongly Hinted At.


.-..a %. NASHVILLE, Ma rclR' 5th.,
Special Dispatch to the Daily Chronicle.
The funding discussion to-day brought
out the full intellectual strength of the
House.
Mr.. Mcfarland made fine speech. 1t
made the ablest argument and most pow
erful speech of the session. He spoke for
two hours, though feeble, and was listened
to with marked attention. Democrats and
Republicans alike congratulated him at
its close, and many said it was and should
be the proudest act of his life to plead so
eloquently for the honor of his State.
The vote stood 40 for and - against its
passage.
The debate lasted three days and was
spirited and angry. Some of the Memphis
delegation were much chagrined and dis
appointed and during the discussion posi-
ton was assumed tending to reputation.
1t is James Senate bill, with Neon
neII's and Houk's amendments, providing
against the TOrbett issue war bonds, and
"sich." 1t settles the question of repudia-
ton, recognizes the so called Brownlow
government and denies the legality of
Isham G. Harris bogus legislature and its
acts. 1t includes the school fund in the
form of certificate in the sum of ten mill
ion five hundred thousand five hundred
and twelve dollars.

.eussion of House amendments

Capt. A. G. Sharp was, on Thursday last,
confirmed by the Senate in place of Kin
drick, the present incumbent, whose
friends are now here in force to prevent
Sharp from entering upon the office, and
to effect this end they will endeavor to in
duce the Senate to reconsider the vote by
which Sharp was confirmed, and if they
fail in this, will prefer charges against

taking no part in the fright.

DIR. Hermann Meyer, of Zurich, asserts
that shoemaker ought not only to pro-
duce a shoe that does not pinch, but shoe
so constructed that it will give to foot
distorted by the pinching It has borne al
ready, a fair chance of a return to its right
shape, and full possession Of Its power as
means of carrying the body onward.
lie says that, in measuring a foot for a
shoe or boot, the first thing 10 be consid-
cred Is the place of the great toe. Upon
this toe, in walking, the weight of the
whole body turns at every step; In q
natural foot, therefore, 1t is in a straight
line with the heel. A central straight
line drawn from the point of the great
toe to the middle of its root, II continued,
would pass very exactly to the middle of
the heel. But, by the misftting boot
usually worn, the point Of the toe IL
pressed inward, the root Outwards. No
last or mo lei Of a foot already injured by
wearing ill.itting boots or shoes should
ever be made of the exact size of such a
foot.

strong in numbers, Is weak from the
want of organization and guiding star.
