Genius and Work.

Young people are inclined to believe that
If person has genius he need not work to
win success. But the truth ia that genius
shows itsolf in the labor to which ii urges
its possessor. Tho authors aud artists, tho
actors and orators, who have made their
mark, have, whatever else they possessed
had the power to labor long and hard in their
chosen calling. Thackeray says of Lord Ma
caulay that she reads twenty books to write
sentence he travels hundred miles to
make line of description" The flowing
periods and ths exact pch pictures of tho
great historian were the result of constant
pains taking and unwearied labor. Micbal
Angelo was, up to the last years of his long
life. an industrious sculptor aud painter
Turner, the finest English landscape painter
of this generation, worked constantly at his
art. The powor of the actor and orator de-
mands training to be of use. "Aoting." said
the elder kenn, ''does not, like Dosberry's
reading and writing, 'come By naturo.'"
The same might be said of the oSatory of
Wendell Phillips on the platform, or the elo>
Guence of Bishop Simpson and DR.. r. s.
Storrs in tho pulpit. Genius without hard
labor usually proves curse to him who has
it. Genius with labor may perform won-
doris. Ordinary ability, supported By the
willingness to work constantly and persist
emily, will achieve SUCCESS in any profession
or business. As Ralph Waldo Emerson saws.
s'The worlds no longer clay, but rather iron
In the hands of its workers, aud men have to
hammer out place for themselves BIZ steady
end rugged blows"

Who Killed stonewall jackson.

DR.. d. W. Busick, Of this county. who
since the war has been Register of Deeds.
was one of the soldiers that started with the
litter that bore General jackson of the fold
that fearful night at Chancellorsyillo, As
an historical incident from so worthy
source, DR.. Busick's version of the STAIR is
worth giving. He says that Jackson was not
shot by our own men. He was lying that
night by the'rOad down which the Yankees
were sweeping with capistor and mimic. when
General jackson crossed tho road and was
shot. His mid called out and Rusiek wrs
one OF the men that ran to him. He carried
one corner o. the litter as they went through
the woods, whore the men were lying so
thick that he stepped on q mans leg, and
the fellow, pulling his leg away tripped him
up and hs foil, another soldier sprinving an
and taking his place at tho litter They
evidently thought he was shot, aud history
so hss it that one of the men at tho litter WAS
shot down. But not go. DR.. Busick was
that man. In his opinion, that jackson was
not shot by his own men, hs is boroe on. by
many other soldiers who were present. Mr..
Robertson, near Pelham, in Caswell county.
was lying on that road aud had gun barrel
bent by shot from the same charge that
swept the road about the time that jackson
was killed. Ho spraug into the woods.
