How Far Apart,

Thomas Meehan lays down the following
rule: The proper distance to SOW or plant any
thing is so that the roots of the plants, what
ever they are should about touch each other
Thus wheat plant requires for its best devel-
opment to be about four or six inches from an
other plant, to have for its own self to occupy
about sixteen to thirty-six square inches of
surface.

When Lefty had scarce pass'd her third glad year,
And her young artless words began to flow,
One day we gave the child color'd sphere
OF the wide earth, that she might mark and know
By tint and outline, all its sea and land,
She patted all the world; old empires peep'd
Between her baby fingers how she leap'd,
And Laughed. and prattled, in her pride of bliss!
But when we turned her sweet unlearned eye
On our own Isle, she raised joyous cry.
so yes! see it, Letty's home is there!'

Bright over Europe fell her golden hair:

The extra session called by Gov
Porter for December 5th will have
nothing to consider but the
State debt compromise, we presume.
1t is said that there will be no oppo-
sition to the 60 cents proposition
except from the Savage -Tolley ele
ment. The bond-holders made no
90 cents proposition to the last
legislature, as many imagine, and
that was probably the reason that
the debt was not compromised on
that basis. Now, it is said, Gov.
Porter has definite proposition to
that effect. 1t is probable that a
very few days will suffice for the
Legislature to dispose of it, and that
the opposition of Savage ct I'd will
be very weak. 1t is to be hoped
that such will be the case. We are
unalterably opposed to making Il
scaling proposition to the bond
holders, and equally as fixed in our
oppo to any methods adopted
to force them to make PROPOSE
tions, but now that the matter has
been brought to where it is, we i'm
agine there would be little use in
standing up longer for the credit of
the State, untarnished by even Il
semblance of reputation. We hope,
then, that the proposition will be
accepted without acrimony.

Why Ten Brock Paid Forfeit.

In explanation of the failure OF
Mr.. Harper's Ten Brock to run
against Mr. Lorillard's Parole Tues
day, Mr.. McGrath, of Kentucky,
said to a reporter of the New York
World:
"Ten Brock is so completely
amiss that he just could not run a
bit. He seemed to be dong fairly
well, but when they plated him to-
day (Monday) the best he could do
was a mile in 1854 and repeat it in
about :55. The track was good
enough for him to run in :45, and
as he would have to run equal to
l As to beat Parole. there was no
use of letting a good horse like Ten
Brock run simply to be beaten and
lose the peoples money; for" Mr..
McGrath continued, "the horse
would have been the favorite, sure" !"
To the Inquiry as to what allied Ten
Broeck, Mr. McGrath replied: 20,
he is simply full of cold. He can
not run for a cent, and besides, he's
got swelled ankles"
The World adds that under 'play
or pay" rules, all the money bet
that Ten Broeck would win is lost.

Young man, don't go West, but
go to work. The fields for labor of
mind and muscleare numerous, vast
and inviting, promising to yourself
and fellow-mortal a rich reward for
your work. While the world needs
good, honest mechanics, profession
al men, preachers, statesmen, mer-
chants, farmers, etc, it does not
need the great horde of tramps and
idle gentlemen that are infesting
our land, who are necessarily sub
sisting on the fruits of toll and en-
ergy of men and women who are
too honest aad noble to eat bread
or wear clothes they have not
earned. Make money. Money
properly applied will give you great
power and influence. With it you
can dry the tears of helpless suffer
ers, obtain the blessings and fearful
prayers of starving widows and or
phans, educate, ennoble and make
useful the ignorant youth of the
land. The poet has truly said:
"The drying up single tear has more of
Honest fame than shedding seas of gore"

Our handsome and intelligent
young friend, II. c. Worley, re
turned from Texas last Friday,
fully satified to remain in Old Giles
the remainder of his life. He is
glad that he was able to return, and
not compelled as many are, to re
main there through inability to re
turn, and to praise the country
through a false kind of pride which
prompts them to deny their great
longing to return. He saw Texas
thoroughly and is satisfied. Being
an educated, intelligent, observing,
practical man, a native of Mlssis-
sippi, and therefore not in the least
preiudiced in favor of Tennessee,
we consider his opinion valuable
and his preference complimentary
to our own grand old county. He
admits that pushing, enterprising
men with capital can do well there,
but where is it that class of men can
not do we'll? We would not detract
from Texas, but we insist that all
men take warning by Mr.. Worley's s
experience.
