OFFICE OF JAMES CARR,
NEW YORK, Feb. 4th, 1881.
Editor of the Knoxville Daily Dis
patch-My Dear Sir: You are a
stranger to me and I 10 you, 60 you
will please pardon this seeming lib.
erty 1 take in writing to you. In
your Issue of the 10Th of December, I
notice what you say about the New
York China and Glass Store of Taylor
d Co. Will you allow me to thank
you for so prudent an invitation to all
busin ness men to come to your city or
to your part of the Union? I have
never read in the papers published in
the South such wise counsel aud pru-
dent and generous welcome before. /
am sure if you get men of business
and capital from the North, they will
help enrich your part of the country.
/ speak from long experience, for I
have been a manufacturer for twenty
nine years and my wages list last year
to working men, women and boys
was more than $50 600, just to be spent
in this neighborhood so you will see
what it ia that enriches country and
makes it prosper. 1t may seem strange
to you that I should trouble you, but
the sequel is that Mr.. Taylor once
worked for me and [ know him to be
a man of the highest integrity, and il
Knoxville wss filled with such men
you should have nothing to fear
Pardon my liberty.
[ am, my dear Mr.. Editor, truly

Outgrowing Ones Friends.

There are men and women in
public life whose pathway is mark
ed by the remains ofwhilom friends
whom they squeezed dry and drop
ped, like so many sucked oranges
In politics it is said of such a man
that he has kicked down the lad
der by which lie climed. In litera-
ry or other walks of life the human
sponge often swells up with thought
that he has outgrown his humble
friends of other days. In private
life the selfconscious soul contents
itself with becoming more and more
the center of its little circumference,
taking none within its orbit who
will not consent to revolve around
it and emit light and warmth for its
enjoyment. There haye been many
and noble definitions of what a
friend is. People of real individu-
ality, strength and sensitiveness,
doubtless have fewer real friends
than they are apt to think, unless
they have been Icherishing, uncon-
sciously, low ideals. But whatcv-
er friend may not be, certainly
that sweet and noble term is un-
merited by one who, however gen
erous in other directions, is selfish
of himself

House Building APES.

In the middle of Africa is found
an ape which builds shelter fol
himself in a tree. He selects 4

and about twenty feet from tho
ground. This branch Is for his
floor, and over it he makes roof

branches, tied on to the tree with
vines, of which African woods are
full, and it is so we'll shaped and
neatly made that it would do credit
to a human builder. When the ape
is at home, he sits on the branch
with his head up under the green
roof, and an arm around the tree tf
hold on. One animal lives in each
hause alone, and he uses it only un-
til he has eaten all the feed he cares
for near, and then he builds new

Pleasure and Morality.

"You will find,
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's
treasure,
There is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
"Love without marriage is both
expensive and immoral, and pro-
ductive of the most disagreeable
consequences. 1t tries the constl-
tuition, heart and purse. Profigacy
is almost an impossibility. and even
dissipation soon gets bore. What
we call morality is nothing else but
common sense. and the experience
of our fellow men codified for oul
common good" ."--D'Israeli.

Honest Man.

"The ignorant peasant without
fault, is greater than the philoso
pher with many; for what is genius
or courage without a hearth An
honest man is the noblest work Of
God"
II always held that hackneyed
maxim of Pope" returned Mr.
Burchell, "as very unworthy a man
of genius and base desertion Of
his own superiority. AS the repu-
tation of books is raised not by
their freedom from defect, but the
size of those virtues they are pos
sessed of. The scholar may want
prudence, the statesman may have
pride, and the champion ferocity
but shall we prefer to these the low
mechanic who labOrously plods on
through life without censure or ap
plause? We might as well prefer
the tame correct paintings of the
Flemish school to the erroneous
but sublime animation of the Ro

to submit it to Mr.. Fields as South

One reason why many persons do
not get along in the world is be-
cause they cannot be depended up
on. They do not keep their agree
ments. When they are weighed in
the balance of affairs they are often
found wanting. They are seldom
on time. The workman who is al
ways on time at the appointed time
and place, and does his work ac-
coeding to agreement, Is sure to
get along, To q young mechanic

ness and punctually is worth more
than q Thousand dollars cash CAPT

Bits of Wisdom,

Our friends faults reconcile us to
their virtues,
The place Of charity, like that of
God, is everywhere.
Politensss is like great thoughts-it
comes from the heart.
Poverty may excuse shabby coat,
but 1t is no excuse for shabby morals.
He who has not mastered himself, by
whom can he not be overcome.
Nature has written letter of credit
on some mems faces which is honored
wherever it is presented.
The most delicate, the most sensible
OF all pleasures, consists in promoting
the pleasures OF others.
He who is false to present duty
breaks thread in the loom, and will
see the defect when the weaving Of q
lifetime is unrolled.
Faith. like light. should ever be sim
pie aud unbending; while love, like
warmth. should beam forth on every
side and bend to every necessity.
II man empties his purse into his
head, no one can take it away from
him. An investment in knowledge pays
tho best interest.
What delightful thing rest is. The
bed has become place OF luxury to me.
I would not exchange it for all the
thrones in the world.-Napoleon.

THE New York Legislature was
puzzled, for long time, what to do
with the bribe money which Mr..
Bradley gave Speaker Sharpe, say
ing that it had been given him by
Sessions to vote for Depew for the
Senate. Sessions refused to take
the money, declaring he had moth
ing to do with it, Bradley equally
refused to have back money which
was given him to sell himself. AT
the same time it evidently did not
belong to the State and could not be
turned into the treasury. In this
dilemma the Legislature voted it te

For Young Men.

Robert Collyer says it is grea'

that he can wait as long as he viii

has made his fortune, and can keel

station with oil the luxuries Of life
he has done his whole duty.
Ifyou ask him why he does this
he will tell you he cannot do any
better-that he cannot ask woman
to marry him out of mansion, ant
90 to live in a cabin; such woman
is not fit for a poor mans wife. But
in time a man finds out ever sc
many secrets on this question
First, he finds out that she who is
not fit to be a poor mans wife, as 6
rule, is not tit to be any mans wife
especially in land like ours, where
no man knows how soon he may be
poor.
But suppose he waits until she is
thirty and he is thirty-fve, and
then marries the woman of his
choice. One of the first things she
tells him is that she would have
jumped at him ten years ago if he
had said the word; she wanted him
to say so dreadfully; and almost
broke her heart because he didn't
l think the wisest thing / ever did

Unfortunate lI,over.

Unfortunate Lover.
Farewell! a long and sad farewell
To fancy's bright illusions fed;
Yet memory must forever dwell
On sacred feelings crushed and dead,
Which but to-day the heart make glad
A heart now desolate and sad.
I felt the chilling change that came,
And cast its shadow on thy brow,
And asked if thou vert yet the same,
As when of joyous friendship, thou
In spoltive mood would's laughing say.
1t should be tinged with loves bright ray
O, sweet illusions, must we part?
NY soul from them i can not sever,
For love still glows within my heart:
And oh, I'll love thee on forever
I'll love thee though thy heart is cold,
And though my love may ne'er be told.
Nv love thou knowest is thy own,
NV every thought is turned to thee,
1t thrills beneath thy sligtest tone,
And can not struggle TO be free
I try to drive it from my heart,
A thousand clinging memories start.
There's not balmy breeze that filings
Its gentle kisses on thy cheek /.
But bears from me on hidden wings,
A trner love than tongue can speak
Love in which time no change can make
Till its excess the heart shall break.
There's not a song I've heard thee sing,
Or birdlike note thy voice can raise,
That will not by some magic bring
The memory of happier days;
Oh, that by some mystic power
| could but hear thee every hour.
There's not flower thy fancy caught,
Whose sweetest perfume will not tell
The story which my heart has taught,
That | have loved thee but too we'll
But fare thee well-perhaps forever.
But forget hee-never-never!
