Love and Beauty.

That alteration which a young man
gives 10 woman whom he feels to be
greater and better than himself, Is
hardly distingui>hable from religious
feeling. What deep and worthy love
Is 20? whether of woman or child, or
art or music. Our caresses, our ten
der words, our still rapture under the
influence OF autumn sunsets, or
pillarcd vistas, or calm majestic stat
ues. or Beethoven ,ymyhOnies, all
bring with them the consciousness
that they are mere waves and HppIo-
i'm an unfathomable ocean of love and
beauty; our emotion in its Eecncst
moment passes from expression INTO
silence, our love Il it, highest tood
rushes bey ond its object, aud loses
itself in the sense Of divine mystery.
Is it weakness, pray, to be wrought
on by exquisite muslc-to Ieei ita
wondrous harmouies reaching the sub
tlest windinEs of your soul, the dCh-
cate iibers of life where no memory
can penetrate. and binding together
your whole being past and present IN
one mspcakablc vibration; melting
you in one moment with all the ten
demess, all the love that has been
scattered through the tuilsomc years,
concentrating IN one emotion OF hero
&c courage or resignation all the hard
learned lessons of sslf-rCnouncing
sympathy, blending yoIr present joy
with past SORROW. and your present
sorrow with all your past Joy? II
not, then neither is IL a weakness to be
SO wrought upon by the exquisite
curves Of q wOmau's check and neck
d z.
boscCchiHC eyes, or the ct childish
pout Of her lips. Fo. the beauty ofa
lovely woman is like music: what can
one say more? Beauty has an express
sion beyond and far above the one wo-
mans soul that It clothes, as the words
of genius have a wider meaning than
the thought prompted them: it is
more than wOman's love that moves
Us IN woman S eycs-it seems to bea
far-oif mighty love that has come near
To us, and made speech for itself
here; the rounded neck. the dimpled
arm, move us by something more than
their Iyreltincss- by their close kim
ship with all we have known of ten
derncss and peace. The nOblest nature
sees tine most of this impcrsonal cN-
preston in beauty it is needless to
say that there are gentlemen with
whiskers dyed and undyed who sec
none of II whaiever), and for this rea-
sou, the nobiest nature Is often the
most blinded TO the character of the

The Republican party IN this State
is banking very heavily, upon the idea
that the anti-Republican element Will
perpetrate the folly of last year, in
the next State canvass. They make
no bones of heralding this hope, in
their Journals; and it is well known to
every man who is posted III the de-
vices aud ambitious of the public men
in the State, that Horace Maynard is
to enter the list as a candidate for
Governor, and if successful. to secure
the seat of BrOwnlOw. There never
was set OF fellows so puffed up
with pride aud cOnceJt, by a little
luck, as these chaps are. They talk
as if they could have settled the hash
for Andy or Frank in single combat.
Now we do not believe one single
word of this harmless bravado. 1t is
certain that if there had been no di-
vision in our ranks, Horace might as
we'll have been kicking at the moon
as running for the position which he
gained; and it is equally certain that
if we close up our ranks. we can send
the whole lay out, Narraganset and
all, up Salt River. 1t may be, how
ever, that we will play the fool the
second time. If we do We ought to
be made hewers of wood and draw
er= of water forever to the Radical
party. There is not a man outside of
the Radical party in Tennessee, that
wants to go into it. But still some of
us act under the influence of preju-
diccs III such manner, that we do
the concern Just as much service as if
we were in Grants bosom. Frank
tin RcUictc.
You are mighty right, brother Re
view. 1t is hoped you and your
friends viii not act with sunni consum
mate folly as you did last year, and
persist in running an 'iudcpondenC'
dead beat III opposition to a party
nomination. II you do you deserve
to be ''hewers Of wood to the Radical
party forever" Let old party hacks
slide, and give us men who have not
come to US with all the hates and ami
mosities of lifetime to be pardoncd
and overlooked Surely we can start
some fresh, vigorous young meu who
have no sins to atone for, no preju-
diccs to overcome, and no cuds to
serve but those of their country. Let
us try it, or disaster awaits Us in the
| future rs in the past.

Tennesscc's Future.

The NeiU York EUCniHg Post, in an
article on the future of Tennessee, has
the following exceedingly pertinent
language:
1--WE are constrained 10 say, that
the commercial greatness dreamed OF
by some Of the Tennessee cities, viii
not approach suddenly, hut must a
wait The slow process OF thorough To-
cal development. What Tennessee
needs to place il on a level with the
Northern grain growing States, and
what it appears now 20 desire, is a
more liberal encouragement Of indus
trial enterprises and a better appre-
citation of labor. BY its old, narrow
policy, il repulsed immigration and
capital, by its new policy it Will in
vite them. The State is Just entering
upon a new era Of less exclusive mo-
nopoly-more enlightened prosperity
and it is this more than anything
else that will give il a place among
great commercial communities.

The SOSs OF SUCCESSFUL Max
Next to the inquiry-What becomes
OF the pins: an interesting question
would be-What becomes Of the sons
Of successful men? y few men and
a few firms are in the hands of ,he
founders but these are exceptions.
The old name and the old trade gem
orally pass into the hands Of the
others. DO you see that man shovel
ing in coal? Well, his children, and
children like his, viii josile vour
pampercd sons and rule this land, 3"
said an old New Yorker, the other
day. The old names have ceased in
the pulpit. The famed men of the bar
seldom haze a successor. The em5-
mont iurists carry their honors with
them to the grave. Merchant princes
are obliterated. The reason is clear.
The fathers laid the basis OF business
one way and the sons build another.
Men who earned their fortunes by
hard work, by diligence; that knew
sixteen hoHrs' toll by personal atteu-
tlon; that We're their own book
keepers, statesmen. cashiers, and often
porters, are followed by sons who do
as little as possible. who delegate to
others all the work they can. and who
know more of the road than of the
ledger Famous hotel men were
gentlemen, men Of intelligence, men
who We're the equals of the best in the
land, and who never sunk the gentle
man IN their trade. Young men who
fling the example Of their sires to the
winds, find it easier to squauder a
valuable name, run through q fortune
quicker than il was earned, and find
themselves, while young, at the point
from which their fathers started .-
One thing is quite marked in New
York; it is the fact that the heavy
business is getting into the hands Of
foreigners. The heavy importers, the
great bankers, and much Of the trade
OF value is slipping out of the hands
Of Americans, rs the trade of England
got into the power Of the Lombards.

The hopelessness of any ones
accomplishing anything without
pluck is illustrated by an old East
Indian fable. \ mouse that dwelt
near the abode OF q great magician
was kept in such constant distress
by lis fear Of a cat, that the magi-
clan, taking pity on it, turned it
into "A cat itself Immediately it
began 10 suffer from its fear Of a
dog, SO the magician turned it into
a dog. Then it began to suffer
from fear of tiger, and the magi-
clan turned IL into u tiger. Then
il began 10 suffer from its fear of
huntsmen, and the magician, in dis
gust, said, BE q mouse again. As
you have only the heart Of mouse,
it is impossible 20 help you by CIV
ing you the body Of q nobler ami
NAL And the poor creature again
became 4 mouse. 1t is the same
with a mouse-hearted man. He
mag be clothed with the powers,
and placed in the position of brave
men bat he will always act like a
mouse; and public opinion is usual
~ the greater magician that finally
gays TO such q person, Go back TO
Jour obscurity again. You have
oonly the heart of mouse, and it is
Tseless to try to make a lion Of you.

and that is this Should this county
ever make another attempt to build
a road TO jackson, you hold on and
don't say again, that Jackson wants
no road to this county, will not
help to build one, and that the aid
she pretended to vote to such
road was so conditioned that IT. could
not be collected, aud that Col. Gates
should have said.tO Mr.. so and 50, or
such a one, that he would not, nor
would Jackson give a pocket knife /
for a road TO Henderson. These /

GENERAL JOE JOHNSTON on THE
WAR AT last we are to have from
one of the @roatest-perhaps the
greatest of southern generals his ac-
count of the war. We refer 10 Gener-
al Joseph +. Johnston. whose history
of his campaigns is soon to be pub
lished in an octave volume by the Ap-
pletons. It is to be embellished with
portraits of distinguished officers and
maps of the various scenes of opera
tiOns. Referred To the forthcoming
work the New York World SAYS: This
is a careful and deliberate account
from the pen Of General Joseph L.
Johnston, of the Confederate army,
Of the events which preceded his re-
moval from the command of the
southern forces operating against
General Sherman in Tennessee and
northern Georgia. Military men have
long been aware OF the decisive effect
Of that removal in favor of General
Sherman and of the Union cause. 1t
was the personal act of Jefferson Da-
Wis, resolved upon aud carried out by
him in defiance of the counsel and IN
contempt of the remoustrances OF the
ablest soldiers Of the southern army;
and as General Johnston can have no
motive now for Withholding the whole
truth in regard 10 the matter, the
story he has TO tell will have real
value for the political as well rs for
the military history of tac great ~
mericau conflict"

ALASKAN MYTHoLOGT.-The natives
OF certain secluded Aleutian isles re-
tain a tradition concerning the origin
of the latter which, If already pub
hshed, Is worthy of repetition togeth-
er with the cmbellishment naturally
aCcruing after the lapse Of a wear or
two. 1t IS asserted that, IN the pri-
meval days, when the waters Of the
North Pacific surrounded not a single
isle among the vast ranges of the in
terrier continent, mighty giant lived.
Dwelling in harmony with Il giant
bride, each morning he ascended the
mountains from which the SUBMITS
We're plucked for their daily food
LGkClcts formed their evening drink.
At peace with all the outside world,
they reigned whilst ages went their
course. But finally change occur
red and discOrd entered the mountain
home. Whilst absent on a distant
summit, the giant felt the mountain
quake beneath his feet. and, casting
upon his wife the fault OF all the
earthquake uprOar, fastened down
with q fToWD of vengeance IN al his
mieu. The Ciantcss, perceiying this
and fearing for herself, ran, leaping
into Bearing sea, and toward the dis
tant Asiatic shore. He, collecting
mountains, followed the frightened
spouse, hurliug them after her with
all his strength. For time, not one
Of these did harm, and midway in the
sea the 'stOck-on-hand' grew small !;
so throwing one ont, now and then,
he h2steuel Oa. approaching the
l kamtchatka shore and summCpiug
all his remaining strength, he sent
] the last one Wlirling through the air
and beneath il sank the luckless wife.
/ Exhausted 5E ezeTtiou, despair and
rage, the giant, also, 10 longer held
| himself against the waves, but sank
into the sea, above which, till this
day, appear the summit Of all those
/ suukeu Alaskan mountains known as
. the AlGutian isles. From the Cradu-
: ally decreasing numbers Of the latter
