A GooD NAME.-Some time in 1888 or
'39, gentleman in Tennessee became involv.
ed, and wanted money; he had property, and
owed debts. His property was not available
just then, and off be posted to Boston, backed
by the names of several Of the best men in
Tennessee. Money was tight, and Boston
bankers looked closely at the names. very
Gen. Jackson n Certainly" "Could you
get his endorsement" Yes but he is not
worth one.tenth as much as either of these
men whose names I offer you" mo matter
Gen. Jackson has always protected himself
and his paper, and we'll let you have the
money upon the strength of his name" In
a few days the papers with his signature ar
rived. The moment those Boston gentlemen
brokers saw the tall A and long J of Andrew
Jackson, our Tennesseean says he could have
raised a hundred thousand dollars upon the
signature without the slightest difficulty. So
much for the established character of honesty.
However men may have differed with An

him the merit Of being an honest man.

FOLLY OF CovEToUsNEss. you should
see man that had large pond of water,
yet living in continued thirst, not suffering
himself to drink halfa draught for fear Of
lessening his pond; if you should see him
wasting his time and strength in fetching
more water to his pond--always thirsty, yet
always carrying bucket of water in his
hand watching early and late to catch the
drops of rain, gaping after every cloud, and
running greedily into every mire and mud in
hopes of water, and always studying how to
make every ditch empty itself into the pond ;
if you should see him grow gray in these
anxious labors, and at last end careful,
thrifty life by falling into his own pond
would you not say that such an one was not
only the author of his own disquiet, but was
foolish enough to be reckoned among mad.

EARLY RISING.

"God bless the man who first invented seepr'
So Sancho Panza said, and SO sayI;
And bless him, also, that he didn't keep
His great discovery to himself; or try
To make it-as the lucky fellow might
A close monopoly by 'patent right!'
Yes-bless the man who first invented sleep
Il really can't avoid the iteration J
But blast the man, with curses loud and deep,
Whater the rascal's name, or age, or station,
Who first invented, and went round advising,
That artificial cut-off-early rising!
"Rise with the lark and with the lark to bed.'
Observes some solemn sentimental owl
