esStick TO Dad"

The following is from the Courier
Journal: "A farmers boy" writes to
us: 81 am tired Of farming and want
to come to town to make n living for
myself What do you think of it?
Well we think you are fool if you
don't stay on the farm. The city is
ftsil of ''dead beats" and tramps and if
you've dead sure thing of making your
''bread and meat" on the farm you'd
Settes stay right where you are, and dig
potatoes, than come here and 90 to the
work-hoslse and peck rock. Stick to
dad. Stay on the farm. You are
worth m0ze to yourself, to your neigh
bors, to the State and country at large
than all the One-hOrse muttOn-head.
professional gentlemen that are living
from hand TO mouth in this city or
State. You stick to the pillow, the
mower, the reaper; freeze to that farm
like hy-blister to RegrO's lip raise corn,
wheat, hay, rye, barley, oats, potatoes;
chop wood, maui rails, burn brush, cur
rey mules, feed oxen, raise stock, and
instead of hanging around, street cor
ners depending upon lunch houses to
keep the sand ont of your craw, you'll
be at home GA your farm living IL life
of independent happiness" while
thousands Of ''nice young men," too
pretty and proud to work, and too lazy
too steal will, be lighting out cover
the hill to the house, merciless beats
and lazy subjects of utter dependence
upon public charity. Young man, if
you know which side of the bread of
life the butter is on, you give up the
foolish idea of coming to Louisville to
make a living for yourself" Twenty
five acres of ground, and q chap like
you to till it, is worth more to the
country than the biggest bank in this
city and the smartest capitalist we
know of to run it. You stay where
you are. Follow the pillow and engi-
neer the docile. willing mule that pulls
it. Our word for it, any young,
healthy, stout farmers boy who will
give up his chances for "a dead sure
thing i'll life" and come to town on an
uncertainty is not smart enough to
take care of himself and should be ar
rested and sent to a lunatic asylum for
a darned fool. Stay where you are.

About beautiful Women.

How eagerly men are engaged in
the pursuit of beautiful women, and
how little do they dream of its brief
existence! This Is undoubtedly in ODE
dience to a supreme law growing out Of
our organization, Eor who does not love
order, harmony, symmetry, and per
lection in all things? But, in, this eager
pursuit, it would be we'll to rsmember
that there are qualities of far more i'm
portance than mere personal charms.
True, we may be fascinated with Il
dark, lustrous, and beautiful eve. the
crimson blush of the check, graceful
symmetrical form but, after all ,, the
inquiry should be: l. there a soul with
in? Is there elevation of thought, generr
Gus principles, noble purposes. Il. cul-
tivated itellect? If not, what elsewould
woman of beautiful personal appear
ance be but as a doll or gilded toy?
How long could man of genius be
induced to worship at such shrine :?
How long before his affections would
assume the form of hatred or contempt :?
Powerful passions and strong affection
invariably accompany the man ofgeni-
us. Hence it is clear that unless personal
charms envelop a cultivated mind as
well as the sterling qualities of virtue,
the nOblest impulses of affection In such
a man will soon be extinguished, and
his fondest hopes blasted in the selec-
ton of partner for life. Notldng is
more desirable to man Of genius, in
this life than the ardent affections of
good sensible woman; and, ON the
other hand, no offering on earth is so
acceptable to woman as the sincerest
affection of a man of genius and. truth.

dition might inspire sentiment of
pity. Two young governesscs alone
remained in charge, and these, with
fearful eyes and disheveled hair, threw
themselves at the feet of the officers
and prayed for mercy. Alas the
word is unknown among these savages.
What should have been their protec-
ton was nothing but a stimulant to
Moslem ferocity. The teachers were
outraged, and this, too, with a refine
ment of atrocity which decency forbids
me to describe, in the presence of their
pupils, and then all were butchered
and their quivering bodies thrown into
the flames of the burning churches,
whose crosses as they fell upon the
ground were spat upon by the rabble,
which howled and screamed in this
hideous dance Of DEATH"

ATonching incident.

A nobleman, who died few years
since, had a chest all locked up, but
marked, ''TO be removed firssiIra case
of fire." When he died, hB friends
opened that chest, supPosing ofcourse,
that some valuable document or deed
of property, or rich jewelry, OF costly
plate would be found in it. But what
did they find? They found the toys Of
his little child, who had gone ba&ore
him. Richer to him were they than
all the worlds wealth, richer than his
coronet, brighter than all the jewels,
that sparkled on its crest. Not his
estate, nor his jewels nor his equiPage
nothing glorious and great in this woEld ;
but the dearest objects to him weregthe
toys Of his little child.

THE SAY BRIGHTENS.

The people Of Tennessee are not re-
pudiationists Far a season unwise
teachings seemed ito incline the public
Ihind into forcing the State creditors
to accept a very low rate Of compro-
mise. The pcoIlr are beginning to
see that such compulsory settlement
>of the State debt Is tantaasaonnt to re-
pudiation. They believe that COM
promise mutually agreeable to both
parties is the sssly honorable mode of
equitable adjustment. They feel that
when the State as a debtor dictates
terms to her creditors, a settlement
based upon such constraint smirks of
dishonesty. The paying ability Of the
State is improving. Considering the
abundance and richness Of the mineral
treasures resting in her bosom ready to
be utilized in the arts and general
trade, and in view Of the present pro-
pitious crops and the manifest increas-
ed confidence among commercial men,
it would be the reclllessnesS Of suicide
to hound the steps Of the State crcdi-
tors with the cry that Tennessee is
bankrupt and her people demand Il
settlement Of the State debt upon the
terms set forth by few loud-mouthed
and short-sighted demagogical leaders.
a reaction in favor Of an honest and
honorable settlement is daily gaining
strength among the masses. Speed on
the movement. 1t means that the peo-
pie prefer to maintain the public credit
rather than advertise the State as a
perured bankrupt.

An Incident.

An old lady called at the bank with
her book, and asked to have all her
money. She had not been at the bank
in nineteen years, and at that time she
had balance of five dollars ONLY.
The account, with the accumulated
interest, amounted to over fourteen
dollars. She seemed overcome with
emotion when she found out how much
was coming to her, and went back to
the teller, asking him to re-deposit five
dollars, as she did not wish to have so
much money about her. In the con-
versatiOn that followed, she told the
clerk that she had passed through a
great many trials, having lost her hus-
band more than twenty years ago.
For the past two or three years she
has often been in extreme want - the
only work she has been able to procure

week she obtained some coal from the
city; but on Saturday she took back
the shirts she had been working on fol

pay, two dollars. But for some reason
they would not pay her. She Went
home, not knowing what to do. She
had eaten nothing for a day. At las
