H. @. HENDRICK,
at Law.
The Nashville Americana

This faithful and unwavering advocate of
Democratic principles, views the result of
the late National and State elections, as
only an additional incentive to every sim
cere lover of his country and its institu-
tions, to look more closely than ever, into
the administration of public affairs by the
peoples servants. 1t will be the province of
II American to approve right and de-
nounce error as heretofore, and to give the
people such information as will lead them
to correct conclusions. The facts it will give
viii be without bias, pom which its read
ers can form their Owl opinions. Time and
the recurrence of popular elections, show
that a very large portion of the voters of the
Union act from the impulse of the moment,
rather than from settled convictions in re-
gard to correct principles of government.
Hence the greater necessity for the use of
public journals to obtain juster and more
settled views on governmental questions.
This, The American viii endeaYor with the
utmost pains, to supply.
The American will continue the well
known and highly appreciated extensive
volume of general news, State n National,
and will strive to deserve what it already
enjoys, the name of being the best news
paper south of the Ohio river, regardless of
politics or location.
THE WEEKLY AMERICAN,
Will be furnished in future, at the exceed
ingly low price of S1.00 per annum; six
months 70 cents; three months 40 cents. The
Semi-weekly by mail $40 and the Daily
SO. 60 per annum. Postage paid. No paper

An uninterrupted skating story.

"You ought to have seer me-"
said the vicious young lady to the
new minister; "I'd just got the
skates on and made "a start, when
down | came on my"
"Maggie !" said her mother.
"What? Oh, it was too funny
One skate went n way and the
other'n t'other way, and down l
came on my"
Margaret" reprovingly spoke
her father.
"Well, what? They scooted from
under me, and down l came on
my"
HMargaret!" yelled both parents:
son my little brother who had
me by the hand, and liked tohave
mashed him. Now what's the
matter ?"
The girls mother emerged from
behind the coffee-pot, a sigh of re-
lief escaped from the minister, and
the old gentleman very adroltly
turned the conversation in a politi-
cal channel.

This was read over the grave of
ArminiuS kerns, a printer who
worked many years i'll Iowa, at
San Jose, one Sunday afternoon:
"OId friends, here's n tor re.
membrane. Think you not that
as we, the craft, have this day
borne you from our midst to the
silent, lonely city of the dead, we
recognize that we nave laid away
one of the truest, purest, warmest-
hearted friends that ever sailed
with us down the isle of life {?
Think you not that, with the mois-
ture of the heavens over us, we too,
are shedding silent tears that the
chase of u cOmpanionship is
broken; that the lines of our being
must henceforth run apart 4; that
your presence is no longer a copy
among us ; that your thoughtful,
though pleasant face no longer il
Eliminates or cheers our midst? And
think you not, in this parting trib-
ute, we, who have known you
longest and best, do not temper our
grief with the reflection that in the
eternity to which you have gone,
the pains, the sorrows, the diSap-
pointments which were yOurs-nOt
earned, but a heritage-are over,
and that, though the little space
between us be ever So slight, it en-
cOmpasses a freedom and a joy that
was never yours? Old friend, rest
on There is no more might work.
Day has dawned. The sod above
your grave will not be greener than
the memories you have left behind
you. The rose and violet that will
blossom beside the stone that
marks your resting-place will give
no sweeter perfume than the fra
grant place you held in the column
of u af1ectionate regard. The
clouds that must forever hide you
from u gaze but hint the bourne
from whence no traveller returns,
and to which all of us must soon
bear you company. Kerns, we
shall miss yOu-the light of other
days. Keep the form open; we
are all soon dead

THE PRINTERS ron.


Blow, We stormy winds of winteri
Drive the chilly, drifting snow!
Closely housed the busy printer
HeedS not how the winds may blow.
Click, click, his type go dropping
Here and there upon his case,
AS he stands for hours popping
Every letter in its place.
Heaven send the useful printer
Every o fort mortals need,
For our nights We're dull in winter
Had we not the news to read.
Sad would be the worlds condition
II n printer boys were found
Ignorance and superstition,
Sin IA suffering would abound.
Yea, it Is the busy printer
Rolls the car OF knowledge on,
And a gloomy mental winter
Soon will reign if he WaS gone.
Moneys useful, yet winters
Fill not half 50 high a place
AS the busy, toiling printer,
lingering type before his case.
Yet, while the type they're busy setting,
Oft some th~oughtless popinjay
Leaves the country, kindly letting
Printers whistle for their pay.
See him, how extremely busy
lingering type before his case [;
Tolling till he's almost dizzy
To eXalt the human race.

time and attention of business men.
Its daily cable letters from London bring
the Old World to the breakfast-tables of the
In its Wall Street Gossip n its Items for
Investigators, taken together with its accu-
rate, candid and absolutely impartial
Article, The World daily presents
an u~nrivalled picture not only of the true
condition of the m~ultitudinous enterprises
in which the adventurous and active peo-
pie OF this country invest their savings but
also of all the fiuctuating influences exerted
upon those enterprises by the s~peculations
and the sp~eculators of the Stock Exchange.
No man who owns or expects TO own an
interest in any corporate property can afford
to miss for a single day the information
daily and exclusively given In The World,
not only as to then natural and legitimate
course of affairs affecting stock values, but

nal published in the English Language
which maintains an unswerving fidelity 10
the great enduring principles to the demo-
cratic faith in politics, The World for 1881
will be found, where or the last five years
The World has been found, absolutely loyal
to democratic principles; absolutely indie
pendent OF all persons, cliques and factions
within the democratic party.
The World will maintain the cause of the
union against in all its forms,
the cause of good government against cor
upton in all its forms, and the cause of the
people against monopoly in all its forms.
