A Mountain Home.

On a bright Sunday we descended
towards the course Of the Tucka-
seege, (Jackson County, North Car
olina, and a violent storm delayed
us at a !owly cabin, near the path by
which now and then visitor pene-
trates TO Tuckaseegc cataract. Ac-
cording to t.ac custom Of the country
we hastily carried our saddles into
the porch and sat down on them to
talk with the residents. The tall
lean, sickly farmer, clad in home
spun pair of trowscrs and a fla. shirt
with the omniprcsent gray slouched
hat, minus rim, drawn down over his
forehead, courtcously greeted us, and
volunteered to direct us to the falls
though he "wa3 powerfully afcared OF
snakes. Buttermilk and biscuit
were served, and We conyerscd wi tn
the farmer on his condition. lie cul-
tivated a small farm, like most OF the
neighbors in moderate circumstances;
only grew corn enough for his own
support; "lidn't reckon he should
stay thar long; warn't no schools, and
he reckonel his children needed
lsrnin'; schools never was handy; too
many miles away" There was very
little money in all the region round
about; farmers rArel y saw fifty dollars
in cash from year to year. the few
things which they needed from the
outside world they got by barter
The children We're, as a rule, mainly
occupied in mnding the numerous
pigs about the cabin, and caring for
stock. The farmer thought sheep
raising would be powerful peart, "
if folks had q little IN ore capital to
begin on; thought a man might get
Well-to-do in a year or two by such
Investment. He welcomed the min
eral movement gladly; reckoned may
be we would send him some one to
buy his farm, and let him get to q more
thickly settled region; but seemed
more cheerful when we suggested that
cmigrants might come in and settle
up the country, bringing demand
for schools with them. "IIe reckon
ed there warn't no Ku-KIux these
days-never knew nothin on EN-
IIeerd nothin' furder from EN- since

The housewife was smoking her
corncob pipe, and setting rather dis
consolately before the fireplace
warming her thin hands by the few

O Summer and Fillmore.

|, It was q coincidence that CHARLES
SUMNER and MILLARD FILLMORE
Should have died 60 nearly at the
same time. Deaths 50 close together
but lives SO widely diverging assun-
der!
Mr.. Fiji MORE, in the vain hope Of
being elect a % the office of President
which he then held as the success
Or of Gen. TAyLoE-signed the Fu-
siive Slave act, and surrendered up
all his manhood at the bchest Of the
slave power. How the Union saving
committees applauded the act, and
what a pure ard exalted patriot he
was represented TO be-. Well do we
remember it ALL And then The slave
holders, who had wheeled him into
their service, hardly rallied q corpor-
ais guard to support him for the
White House, and FRANK PIERCE,
still more consistent lIunky of the
South, was elected to succeed him.
SUMNER then was denounced on
nearly every hand. He was ostra-
c;sed at Washington and decriel al
most universally in the public prints.
Within few days the eyes Of both
have closed forever upon the scene of
their labrrs. The one has given his
name to Il glorious Immortality, and
linked it inseparably to the story Of
the progress Of American Liberty;
the other gave his to the Fugitive
ISlave bill.
This is a short but instructive
lesson to our ambitious young men.

of eighty-four, when he complained
his assistant urged that they were up
late the night before. He made it a
rule that every one in the house
should retire at nine in order to at
tend the morning service at five. At
Sc Wesley admitted the weight OF
years. His eyes, lie said, We're dim,
his voice was faint; he could no lon
ger keep his accounts or journal. lie
travelled almost TO the last, and was
followed by the thronSs who never
deserted him. In the spring Of ISL
he was brought to his home in City
Roads, stricken with a fever.
On the oath of March he died,
surrounded by q group of friends.
When he was dead, they broke into u
psalm Of praise. Ills funeral, at 8
o'clock in the morning, was attended
by vast throng, and a sermon was
preached in memory Of his good
deeds in City Road chapel, when the
church was hung with mourning, and
every member Of the great audience
except one, who took the blue error,
was clothed in black. City Road
Chapel is Wesley's monument. There

which he died-his house, his church,

Let him walk in the path of right,
And keep his aim in sight,
And work and pray with tailn away,
While his eye OH the gli'tering hci cight
Give me q man who says,
Il will do something wrll
And make the t,criin4 days
A story Of labor l,Il."
Though the aim he has be small,
1t is better than none at all:
Nth something to do the whole year
through,
He will not tunhlc or fall.
But Satan Wcayrs Il snare,
For the feet of those who stray.
WithNevcr Thought or care
Where the path may lead away,
The man who hath No aim
Not only lca,rs no name
When this lifc's done, but ten to ono
lie leaves 4 record of shame.
Give me Il man whose heart
Is filled with ambition fire;
Who sets his mark in the start,
And moves it higher and higher.
Better to die in the strife,
The hands with labor tire,
Than to glide with the stream in an
idle dream,
And live a purpose|css life.
