GRlIamtrT.

What is gailantry but tribute from
the stronger to the Yeaker? What right
has fresh-Gaced, ruddy girl, Astounding
in strength, TO plant herself in front of
a weary man in that way that plainly
indicates her expectation that ne viii
yield his seat? What right has she to
take it, indeed? Why should she not
rise and give a seat to an old man, in
stead of accepting his?
Now, We 81 bmit that the fault is part
ly with ill-bred women. They take
seats as if they belonged to them. We
almost always surrender to standing
lady, however weary our legs may be.
AMI not one in six has courtesy enough
to say, " Thank you. A very weary
and very plain woman with none of the
Yarnish of society, no knowledge of the
proprieties and imprOprieties, stood in
front OF us the other day. We offered
her the seat, and she hesitated. +" hate
to take your seat, >" she said. She was
a lady.
The very women who complain of a
lack of gallantry, never give place them
selves to older and weaker people. The
sight OF a young lady giving seat to
fseble old man would work wonders of
gaIlantrs among men. "See that tired
man :" exclaimed lady alongside of
us the other evening, and squeezing her
silks she made room for weary ana
eayth-soiled Irish laborer. There was
gallantF5l
Some men get sp for pretty faces and
fine clothes, but we know nan who
gives his seat TO a weary washerwomaa
with a basket of clothes, and that wheth-
er she be Irish or African. And when
we see this we say, Behold gentleman
indeed The true-hearted courtesy Of
such man is worth more than all the
hand kissing and bowling of hundred
knee-bucklsd ecurtieTs!

The ID Quarterly Meeting for the Co

be the 18th and 10Th, Saturday and Sun

Preaching at Jones's Academy next
Sunday evening at 3 o'clock, by Rev.
A. w. Smith.
During the absence of Rev. J. NJ. p.
Otis, the following brethren have kind
ly consented to fill his pulpit on the fol-
lowing days:
On the Sd Sabbath, 10Th day of Febru-
airy, Rev. S. w. Mitchell, of Zion.
Rev. VIM. Stoddert preached in the
Presbyterian Church in this place last
Sunday morning and night. His preach
ing is like the way we imagine the apos-
ties preaehed-plain, simple, and full of
the gospel. At night he preached beau
tiful, instructive, and peculiar, sermon
about the process of mans outward and
inward change from a sinner to saint.
He said the wolfish nature-the out
side-was not changed instantaneously
oven after the wolfish nature inside had
been entirely metamorphosed into q
sleeps nature. The VOLTS skin had to
be taken off by patches and shreds, and
the presence of wolf-hide on the outside
of man long after he was a sheep With
in, led many persons to suspect that the
work of grace had not taken place in
his heart. But his most intimate
friends will know it. The preacher
said he had gone into many new neigh
borhoOds in his life, and always found
out that whatever the general opinion
about any one particular man in the
neighborhOOd was, turned out to be the
true one.

New Advertisements.

We call attention to the new advertise
ment OF, John Gilgan, Nashville. He
has Just moved his elegant stock of
goods trog The Square to No. 113 Church
Street, noar the battle House, where he
invites the public Of this vicinity to call
and see him. Mr.. Gilgan's success as d
merchant is sufficient evidence that he
understands his business; and the libe-
raj patronage he receives il proof enough
that his goods and prices suit the peo-
ple. His house is between the Battle
House aad the st, Cloud Hotel.
In another column, will be found az
advertisement of Mr.. Lambert, who
brings to our town new and beautiful
process called Photo-Crayon. " This
process enables artists to make life-siZe
photographs. We have seen a specimen
or his work-a PictuFs Of Col. John V.
Wright, aud it is very fine likeness of
the good-looking Colonel. Mr.. Lam
bert was preparing to make picture of
Er. Herndon, which promises also to be
fine one. Mr.. Lambert has testimoni-
ais to show that he is an educated Chem
list and cultivated artist, and our peo-
pie should take advantage of his short
stay of week in Columbia to call and
see his work.
We call attention to new advertise
ment of Titcomb and Williams. in a
community where two men are so we'll
known to be good druggists it would be
useless for us to say anything in their
behalf
Elsewhere we publish an advertise
nent of Gen. Marcus J. Wright, an
nouncing his purpose, at an early day,
to publish a book entitled Oficial
Confederate Reports of the War. /" Up
to this time, no suct work has been is
ued from the press. Coming from the
source it does, and haying1the lndorse-
mant of the late Confederate Congress
believe will, receive a liberal support,
net only in the South, but throughout
the land. Our clever young friend,
Nick Akin, il the agent here.

SPRING HILL ITEMS.

The smallpox in this county has Gre
ated some excitement and uneasiness in
this neighborhood, but as yet the mala-
dy has not made its appearance here.
Rev. r. G. Irvine, pastor OF the Nj. T..
Church, has been dangerously ill for
sometime, but we are glad to be able to
state that his health is SO much improv-
ed that he was able to be at his post of
duty last Sabbath.
DIR. McMahan, of Kentucky, an expe-
rienced and skillful dentist, has opened
an Office at this place. He intends to
permanently locate here if he can make
it to his interest to do so.
Mr.. Hamricks and lady, of INDIANA,
who have been travelling for sometime
for the health of the latter, are now stop
ping here for the second time. We feel
safe in saying that they can not find a
climate more genial and healthy than
this.
Mr.. Rush Thompson, who went to
Arkansas last Fall with view of max
ing his home in that Stste, returned
lately, fully convinced that there is no
place like Tenness 9e. Be is we'll pleas
ed with the country around Little Book.

Cedar Bluff College.


The public are aware of the death of Mrs.
NJ. H. Whitesides, the late excellent principal
Of this college. The sad event occurred on
Wednesday, the 5th INST. This lamented lady
maintained to the close of her laborods life
very high character as a scholar, a teacher,
and an accomplished Christian lady. She filled
the responsible place of Principal of the College
to the close of her life with distinguished
ability. She was highly appreciated by the
public. The high character and full prosperity
of the college are greatly due to her fidelity,
her energy, and her talents. 1t is sad to know
that in. the zenith of life, and in the midst of
her glorious career, she has suddenly fallen in
death. H.
On the 9th inst. the Trustees of the College
eleceed Mrs. M. NJ. Gordon Principal of the
College, WHICH position had been vacated by
the decease of Mrs. Whitesides. Mrs. Gordon
is well known to the public and to the patrons
of the College as a superior scholar, very
competent teacher, and Christian lady of
high character. 1t will be gratifying to the
friends Of the College TO know that she has ac-
cepted the position to which she has been cho-
sen, and is engaged in the discharge of the
duties thus imposed upon her. The prosperity
of the College ill, no doubt, continue una
batad.
d. Miss Sue Grant, so long and so favorably'
known to the patrons of the College as the aG-
complished teacher of the ornamental branch of
femal lie education, remains in her old position.
Miss Lucy j. Arnold, a thorough scholar and
an experienced instructress, divides wish Mrs,
Gordon the instruction of the classes in Mathe
mates and the Classics. Miss Annie Anchin-
leck, e lady very thoroughly educated and
highly gifted in the Sciences, is the teacher OF
Music.
We earnestly recommend Cedar Bluff Co.
lege to the continued confidence and patronage
0fthe public. t~
LAZY of suitable character will immediate
ly enter upon the discharge of the duties of
Matron IN the College.

A good many jokes are told about a
certain distinguished citizen of the Ten

OF the most prominent offices in the
Barren country, and is frequently from
home weeks at time, travelling over

He holds that once a week is often
enough for a man to wash his face, and
practices what he breaches. For weeks
he has gone without changing his shirt,
although his good wife had given him
several, and he had them in his saddle
bags. just before leaving home, on one
occasion, his wife, who was ashamed of
his negIige, gave him six new shirts, and
begged him to put them on during his
stay. lie was gone long time, and
when he return ed. his wife went to his
saddle-bags to see if he had obeyed in
structions, ard she found not single
dirty garment. She expressed great
surprise at this, and she was still great
err astonished when she found that he
had them all on, seven in number.

For the HERALD.


There's not joy withoutits sorrow,
There's not a smile without tear
There's not day but that tomorrow
Can shroud and sadden with a fear.
o tell me, love, dost thou remember
When last pressed thee to my heart
A nd kissed thy brow that sad December,
When you had said that we must part
And though that word has brought me sad
ness,
And made the world to me look sad,
I've tried to think it brought me gladneSs,
Because it seemed to make thee glad.
Our love had been so full of sweetness,
The future seemed to us SO sweet,
That in the joy of love repleteness,
Welcomed our joy to be repiete.
Sad Is my life and sad to remember,
Shadow and clouded has been my day;
For shadows of sorrow like SHOWS ofDeceIll-
Der,
Have cover'd i'll silence nay idols away.

COLUMBIA CIRCULATING
LIBRARY AgSOrIATTON

This Association, organized some weeks
ago for the purpose of establishing a public
circulating library for the benefit OF the
community, has, since its organization, been
preparing Library room for the reception
of books and making other necessary ar
engagements. Now, the room, located in the
>. +. corner of the Masonic building, is
about ready, being nicely papered and ear
peted and made comfortable for reading
room, and we desire to call the attention Of
the public to the matter and ask their asss-
tanee. In the first place we want books 10
estdJtish the Library. These we propose 20 OBJ
tain IN three WAYS by. purchases, donation
and loan. Those obtained by purchase will
be but few at present, as only the surplus
funds of the Association viii be invested i'm
them, but we hope and expect TO receive the
greater portion by donations and loans.
Those donated become Immediately the
property of the Association and the gtVer
gives up entirely his title and control; but
the title To the books loaned remains in the
lender, and he allows the Association simp-
~ the use or them. a receipt will be given
to him and his name will be placed in each
book, and should the Association at any
time cease to exist, or should the owner
leave Columbia and wish to take his books
with him, he can withdraw them from Tho
Library. The Library being circulating
one, whore the members are permitted 10
take the books home and retain them for n
certain time, 1t may be thought that they
VIII be subject TO abuse, but, that they MAY
be carefully preserved, a heavy fine OF four
times the value of the book is Imposed for
mutilating or destroying 1t. A careful Lii
brarian has.also been secured. As an in
ducement to persons to place their books
with US, we would say, that in a Library of
this kind the books are better kept together
and preserved than In private Library.
Having made these statements, we ask the
community to come promptly forward and
AID US in our endeavors TO build up a large
Library in our midst from which ali can de-
rive benefit. We will be Obliged 10 those
whocan send us books If they will send them
to the Library room and those who can let
us have books but cannot conveniently send
them will please let us know where they are
and we will send for them ourselves,
