Sympathy.


One Of the principal charms of won
en- lies In their quick sympathy. They
are pre-eminently gifted with that rapid
1mplessionability that puts them en-
rapport with their surroundings. Many
thus endowed, however, lack the sus-
tanned force that gives cohesion to char
acter The influences Withdrawn that
called forth the emotion, the purpose
borne with it begins to flag. These inn
oulsive sympathizers rejoice with the
happy and mourn with the sad they
give smile for smile and tear for tear !;
but the moment you leave them they for
get you, and the object of your Joy Or of
your pain is as nothing tofhem. For the
time being they are entirely sincere; hy-
pocrisy or affectation has not entered into
the tokens of feeling they have shown;
they have simply been compelled by the
impression of the moment. This had O.
sympathy answers better: to the def
milton of the, modern philosopher than
that which inspired the injunction of the
wise man, sfSorrow is better than laugh
ter, for by the sadness OF the counten-
ance the heart is made better"

"Life As 1t Is"

This old book, by Breazeale, the

us few days ago by our venerable and
esteemed friend, Geo. Etter, ESQ.,, of
Irving College. 1t was published at
Knoxville, at the Office of THE Posi-
III 1912, and contains some very inter
esting history aud accounts of the early
settlers of Tennessee;,their manners and
customs in those early days. Human
nature is the same in all ages. 80
years ugU rHrrU we're pTeHry OF paIrIUuc

own personal interests to serve the

There were then, as there are now,
always plenty of candidates for the
Legislature, and Mr.. Breazeale has fur
hished us few specimens of their
speeches, which we will try to make
room for, for the benefit and amuse-
ment Of our young men who may as

The !. and U. y. club

Met last Thursday evening at the resi-.
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. r. Mead. We
were deprived of the pleasure of being
present on account of physical indis-
position. Our better half attended
the meeting and represents the occasion
as one of much interest and pleasure.
1t could not be otherwise, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Mead never fail to make their
entertainments pleasant. This meeting
was the more interesting on account of
it being the birth day of Mr.. Mead,
and the birth day of fine young
tavorite Vanderbilt mare, which he
always celebrates in connection with
his own. We are not yet informed
where the next meeting will be, but
due notice will be given. Secretary
Brown was present, and will doubtless
give a full account of this interesting

came to the conclusion that he is of sound

his discharge. All who have known
Mr.. Chambers during his long residence
in the city speak of him in the highest
terms of praise and agree in saying that
he has never manifested any symptoms of
insanity. They are outspoken in censur-
ing the wife for her conduct toward him,
and commiserate him upon his unhappy
lot in being bound TO her by matrimonial
ties. Mr.. Chambers is Of the opinion that
If he gets rid Of the boarders his family
relations will again become pleasant, and
he is therefore resolved to notify them
that their absence from his domioil is de-
sirable and that he shall exercise the pre-
negatives of the head of the family, and
compel his wife to act IN conformity with
the injunctions of St. Paul, when that
apostle of the Gentiles said that wives
