The REWARD OF VIETUE.-A very
good and pious looking Young man
applied for a position in a store.
After he had introduced himself
and made known his wants, the
proprietor informed him that he
would like to have a clerk, if he
could get one to suit him.
81 suppose you go to church,"
he commenced.
Yes, sir.
'Do you drink" continued the
merchant, cycling him sharply.
Never"
''Do you use tobacco in any
form?"
Here the young man pushed the
quid into the roof of his mouth, and
replied, with an innocent smile:
II never use the weed-never did.
/ consider it the lowest and most
shocking habit that a man can be
addicted to"
"Do you frequent the race
course?"
mo, sir; never"
"Do you go to theaters, dog fights
or boxing exhibitions?"
Never was at any in my life, "
was the emphatic reply.
"Can you tell the ace of diamonds
from the king of clubs?"
Il know nothing whatever of
cards."
"Do you ever bet?"
mo, sir; don't"
Suppose" said the merchant, so
man should offer to bet you $1,000
to $40 that three-legged goat
could outrun a grayhound-would
you take bim?"
mo, sir!"
"Then you won't do for this es-
adjustment; we don't want you
we never hire FOOLS
That youth won't be so good next
time.

The Atlantic ocean, if it were
drained, would be a vast plain with
a mountain ridge in the middle,
running parallel with our coast.
Another range crosses from New

sidering the recent rains, and the
checkered tracks of the plow-share,
in the fields along the route, bore
evidence of the fac. that the years
business had fairly commenced with
the farmers. The beautiful steamer
New Camelia was lying at the wharf
at Ma lisonville, with colors flying,
ready to depart for the city. She
brought over about eighty excur-
sionists, although very few came as
far as Madisonville. If the New
Camelia could manage to extend
her Sunday excursion trips to the
Old Landing and remain there two
or three hours, giving those who de-
sired to do SO an opportunity of
visiting Covington, and at the same
time enjoying the romantic and
beautiful scenery along the charm
ing river Tchefrncta, we predict
that the greatly increased number
of excursionists and pleasure-seek-
ers would richly repay her for the
small extra expense incurred by the
enterprise.

From present indications, the
near future has prosperous times in
store for Covington. The many
new buildings going up are rapidly
nearing completion, and more will
soon have to be built, to meet the
steadily increasing demand for
houses. The reputation of our
town as a desirable and healthy
summer resort is rapidly becoming
known abroad. The pure, healthy
sir of the piney woods, our beauti-
full groves and numerous springs,
unite in making this beneficial
and delightful retreat, both for the
invalid and for those seeking recrea-
ton and pleasure. Ample facilities
for boating and fishing are afforded
by the placid river which flows d.
rectly by our town.
The business outlook is also very
favorable, as we learn that many
persons in the interior, who former
II carried their cotton and other
products to the railroad, express
their intention of bringing their
goods to the Covington market
hereafter, owing to the oxorbitant
rates charged by the railroad for
freight to the city. They can get
nearly as good a price here for their
cotton as they can in the city, and
supplies cost but a trifle more-in
fact they can be had cheaper, when
the freight by rail is taken into con-
charlottesville the only expense
incurred is the time consumed in
hauling their produce to Covington.
We think there can be no doubt,
therefore, that "the good time
coming" is near at hand.

The weather report OF the Dublin Times
states that the storm predicted in the
HxBALD has ragged for the past two days
with tremendous force, and is likely to be
attended with disastrous results to ship
ping. The wind WAS very high last night,
particularly on the eastern and southern
coasts of Ireland. The sea was terrific in
st. Georges Channel. It is feared that
many vessels have been caught in the storm.
WRECK ON THE WELSH COAST.
The Norwegian bark Mercur, Captain

arth Roads, with q cargo of Indian corn.
became manageable in the gale and went
ashore at Port Einion Cover, peninsula of
South Wales which projects into the Bristol
Channel, forming the most westerly part of
the county of Glamorgan. This peninsula
is about fifteen miles in length, running from
northeast to southwest, and has an average
breadth of five miles. The great exposure
of the locality and the nature of the coast,
which is bold, rocky and deeply indented,
gave very little hope of saving the vessel
from the time she struck. The crew, how
ever, have saved large quantity Of the
effects of the ship and all the cargo.
