j. f. McCord, brother OF John R. Nc
Cord Of railroad fame, won the walking
contest, which came off at Camdens on
Saturday last. There is now talk OF one

up the line OF march on. the pike for Cam
den, and arrived there pretty well IA
tigued, Jimmy Acton ahead.

the people of the country, what a bless
ing it would be TO editors if the people
wheel about, walk TO the printing offices
and pay up for their papers and SO forth.
Praise a mean man, and he will blush;

of every ten OF them would cry if their
mothers asked them to carry a bucket of
water.
Mr.. Barnhart, with the assistance of
MI. Guild, demonstrated last season that

"They come high but we must have
one," said uncle Joe, as he unloaded a
"Faverite" stove at our back door, but
aunt Sarah now thinks it the cheapest
article ever brought into the house, as it
uses Just one-half the fuel o. the old stove.
Defeated candidates who getmad be-
cause they can't have everything their
own way, should go west. They might
be able, out in that new country, to or

"Where is your boy to-night?" asks a
late poem. Well that depends: ii you
refer to the ten or twelve year old, he is

he is likely taking advanced lessons in
sixty-six or pedro, or huggfhg somebody's
girl in the front parlor.

own keeper. He is his own power. He
may have both help and hindrances but.
after all, the p%erilous power of choice re-
sides within himself"
