courage by his counsel.

The show last Thursday night
was well patronized and as big a
humbug as usual. People won
believe humbug is humbug un-
til they have been hulnbugged by
the humbug, and then they humbug
themselves by trying to think that
it was no humbug after all.

We were permitted to note from
a private letter from Hon. G. II.
Nixon, of Lawrenceburg, to Judge
Tinnon, of Pulaski, some interest
ing facts concerning the NJ. d K.
R. R. Judge Nixon says: "If the
weather remains good, we viii have
the road graded from Lawrenceburg
to the Giles line within the next GO
days. Two-thirds of the work is
at this time completed" He places
the construction of the road as to
Lawrence county beyond the perad-
venture of a doubt, and expresses a
strong hope that Pulaski viii come
up to the measure of its obligations.
The people down there are all en-
thusiastic in the matter. There is
no evidence of any extraordinary
enthusiasm amoung our people, but
we believe there is a strong and ST.
lent determination to push the work
through that is as powerful for
good as the widest enthusiasm.

Its very foolish in some people IN

good. capable, honest men, whether
they ever heard of the dog law.

We paid brief visit to the mills
Of Messrs. Byers & Leonhard the
other day, and found those enter
prising gentlemen in the midst of
machinery and the whir of mill
stones, overwhelmed with orders
for furniture, -four, DC. We were
surprised to find SO much ma
chinery and so many hands en-
ployed, were gratified to see them
turning out furniture so rapidly,
and still more gratifed to learn that
they had orders still ahead. We
are sure that any of our citizens
who may take the trouble to visit
these mills will be courteously re-
ceived, and will be impressed with
the enterprise and energy of the
proprietors, as well as the benefit
our community is likely to derive
from such establishments. They
give employment to fifteen or TWEEN
tv hands, and will soon increase the
number. They should be encour-
aged.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.
Naught may endure but mutabilit

Naught may endure but mutability.
Character is perfectly educated
will,
AS your enemies and your friends,
so are you.
The certain way to be cheated is to
fancy ones self more cunning than
others
The door between us and heaven
cannot be opened if that between us
and our fellowmen is shut.
1t is the most sympathetic and intel
ligent minds which are the most de-
lighted with simple scenes.
It is vain for the coward to fly; death
follows close behind; it is by defying it
that the brave escape.
Difference is the most complicate,
the most indirect the most elegant and
the most effective of compliments.
What other dungeon is so dark as
ones own heart? What jailer so mex
cradle as ones own self ?"
The violet grows low and covers it
self with its tears, and of all flowers
yield the sweetest fragrance. Such is
humility.
Though camomile the more it is
JrOuUeu Oh tne 1aSCer IL grows, yet
youth, the more it is wasted the sooner
it wears.
He whose first emotion or the view
of an excellent production is to under
value it, will never have one of his
own production to show.
The nerve which never relaxes, the
eye which never blanches, the thought
which never wanders- are the
masters Of victory.
The parent who sends his son into
the world uneducated defrauds the
community of useful citizen and be-
queaths nuisance
Socrates, when informed of some de-
rogoting speeches one had used con-
corning him behind his back, only
made this facetious reply: "Let him
beat me, too, when I am absent"

MEMORIES.

When the gray twilight softly spreads
III er robe Ger earth and sky;
When the far noun tains' shaggy heads
A re lost 10 human eve.
When the tired bird at eve has sought
Sleep in that tuneless bower;
When the last bee wings homeward, fraught
With forage from the flower.
whea the dark pinewood dimly shows
It's deepening tints of green;
~ hen in the west with crimson CLOVIS
The sunsets closing scene
watch the glimmering shadows kiss
The threshold of the night,
And DER my heart a soothing bliss
=. A. Calls in the waning light.
And grosser thoughts that sternly cling
70 life's dull sober day,
Leave me, as swallows on the wing
Fit from our sight away.
And soft as ripple on the lake,
Within my bosom rise
Haff-whispered yearnings that awake
thousand memories
Sweet memories, that only come
To WOO my waking dreams,
dumb,
And slumbers on the streams
