SELFIsHSEss, when it is punished
by the would, is mostly punished be-
cause it is connected with egotism.
A man may help himself to an exor
bi,ant portion Of tho good things Of
this life, if he will only keep quiet
about it. and not obtrude himself
upon peoples notice. The cat takes
the best place in the room, and no
body grudges it to her, because her
pnrring satisfaction is not loudly oh
truded on the company. But to
bask like cat in the warmest place,
and scream like a parrot, will never
do.

TO comprehend a mans life, it is
necessary to know not merely what
he does, but also what he purposcly
leaves undone. There is limit to
the work that can be got of hui
man body or human brain, and he
is a wise man who waste no energy
on pursuits for which he is not fit
ted; and he is still wiser who, from
amnng the things that he can do
well, chooses and resolutely follows

NEVER contract a friendship with
anybody till you have first examined
how he behaved himself to his for
mer friends; for you'll have good
reason to hope that he'll be the same
to you as he was to them. Take a
sufficient time before you profess
yourself a friend, but, that once done,
endeavor to be always such; for il
is equally shameful to have no friends
at all, aud to change them often. =

OUR CELEBRITIES ABROAD.-G. A.
Townsend, writing to the Chicago ssTri-
bune,'' says the following concerning L.
H. Chandler, formerly candidate for Con-
gress from this district:
MI. Chandler, good lawyer andstaunch
Northerner, who has lived above a quarter
of century in Virginia, and done the
state good service, introduced me yester-
day to MI. Hughes, the Republican candi-
date for Governor. [ could not help ma
king a mental note Of the difference be-
tween Chandler and the candidate he sup
ported Chandler was tall, bony, of a high
color, full of memory, anecdote, bonhom-
ME, resources almost everything for
which the traditional Southerner is praised.
There was nothing of the traditional Yam
kee about him, except a provincial pronun-
citation. Perfectly in earnest, all heart
and work for the cause, lively, humorous,
and, in short, such a hero as Porte Crayon
might like to have i'll one Of his pictures.
"Gath, writing to the same paper, speaks
as follows of Rush Burgess:
When I asked Rush Burgess where I
could meet with the average people of
Virginia at stumping times, he said to me !;
"My God young man, you don't know
what it is to get up in the morning about
O'Clock, with nineteen kinds of tieas and
bugs about you, in some Virginia hotel,
and you go down stairs scratching your
uncOmbed head, and get into a wagon be-
fore daylight to catch some stage OF train,
and ride along twelve or thirteen miles be-
fore you come to the spot you are to meet
your opponent meantime, drunk at
his leisure. y

AN EXTRA SESSION OF THE VIRGINIA
LEGISLATURE The constitution of Virgin
ia provides that the returns of votes cast
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall
be opened BY the General Assembly. When
this provision was made it was Goa templa-
ted that the General Assembly should meet
In December; but recent law having
changed the time of meeting to the first of
January that day will be busy one for
the incoming Legislature. The General
Assembly must meet and organize, the re-
turns be opened and canvassed, and the
Governor inaugurated on the same day
La view of these facts, it is suggested by
some that the Governor ought to call a spe-
cal session of the Legislature. and this
may be done.
