The Nashville World, in recent is.
sue, said that the term, Free Trade, was
one of which no man should be afraid
or ashamed-tEat it meant the right to
sell your products where you can get
the most for them, and, with your re-
ceipts, to buy where you can supply
your wants the cheapest. We quote
the World from memory, and think we
are about correct. The Home Journal
endorses the utterance, and we are not
ashamed of the endorsement. The
right to buy at the lowest rate and sell
at the highest price that which you
need or have for sale, is natural right,
superior to edicts of any one but God,
and the uorld should be the untram-
meled market. Exchange of labor and
products should not he abridged, and
just SO far as it is abridged just so far
does tyranny go. Govern ment was not
intended for the benefit of a few to the
injury of many. If the few cannot in
vest their capital ard place themselves
among the many, then let them go and
bury their talent and take it with them
to Heaven if they can. The people are
beginning to understand their ignorance
in paying high prices for articles pro-
tected by the Government. This COM
pulsion will not last long if the people
should be educated, and if the effort tc
educate them should split the Demo
cratic party, then, in the language Of
Byron, the Home Journal would say:
ave will renew the times of truth and Jus
tice,
Condensing in fair, free commonwealth
Not rash equality, but equal rights,
Proportional like the columns OF the temple
Giving and taking strength reciprocal,
And making firm the whole with grace an'
beauty,
So that no part could be removed without
Infringement Of the general symmetry"

In its warfare upon the individual
and corporate rights of railroads we
think the Nashville World is decidedly
unjust and in error. In its bold advo.
cacy of an approach to Free Trade
that international copyright of God to
man-we give it our hearty endorse
ment, and hope to live to see the day
when protection will cease to be an ell
forced wrong, or, reinforced, enforced
for every branch of industry i'll equal
proportion.

Mr.. John II. Moore, who lives near
Decherd, and who is one of our best cit.
liens, manifests a public spirit. He
tells us that, old as he is, and having
but little to lose, or gain, by having a
good road from here to Decherd, yet he
is willing to furnish a wagon and team
for one or two weeks in hauling gravel
for the purpose of putting the road in
good condition. This is commendable,
and we wish to find out how many 9th.
ers will join him. Undoubtedly the
miserable roads in THIS county are a
drawback to our prosperity, and the
road from Winchester to Decherd, of
all others, should be kept in good condi.
ton, because it is more generally trav.
eled. We verify believe that our Coun.
ty Court would "cover itself with glo.
ry" if the members thereof should vote Il
heavy tax for the Improvement of roads
even at the expense or neglect of other
matters. And by concert of action
between the Court and the public.spir.
tied citizens who would either subscribe
money or furnish labor, we would soon
have the two miles or so of road that
divide Winchester and Decherd con-
verted into respectable and passable
route. Ifabout $4,000 could be raised
and expended upon the road between
Winchester and Decherd, the result
would be SO apparent for good in n
short time that every one vino gave n
dollar or two for the purpose would feel
proud he had done so. We do wish
the business men Of both Winchester
and Dcchcrd would take this matter in
hand

An Unexpected Response.

A young Presbyterian divine had &C.
cepted an invitation to preach in country
school-house. Among the congregation
was family named Culbertson, who
owned a savage.lookiug but really harm
less dog. When they had arrived at the
appointed place, the good wife was vexed
to behold the dog very sedately entering
with them. Not satisfied with being
merely among the audience, Ponto as
cended the platform, and composed him
self for a nap behind the clergyman's
desk. As the services were just begin
ming, no efforts were made to rout him
from his chosen place, and he was allowed
to slumber undisturbed. In the latter
part of his sermon the minister had occa-
sion to illustrate his subject by relating
an anecdote of Libby Prison: each
morning the roll was called, and daily
there were names to which no answer
would ever again be given. On the morn
ing of which I speak the first name called
was Henry Thomson. No answer came,
aud death-like stiffness pervaded the
ranks. Again the name was repeated
Henry Thomson -" A fatal step
backward by the minister, Bow, WOW y
was the loud response. The rest of the
sermon was lost on the hearers, and ever
afterward the dog was known as Henry
Thomson.-Harpsr's Magazine.

aided. Some time after Crombie had
achieved his triumph in the Engraving
Company, and had repaid Littimer's loan,
he was admitted to share in the banking
business; and eventually the head of the
house was able to give great deal of at

When the details of their wedding were
being perfected, Crombie said to Blanche:
"Oughtn't we to have an old shoe thrown
after the carriage as we drive away ?"
She smiled; looked him full in the

there was a bright, delicious sparkle of
humor, "No; old shoes are much too
useful to be wasted that way

towards America. My ideal future was
not great one.

have little home of my own, with

sufficient then, but the Lord has given
me nine. In my picture painted
pretty library and plenty of books,
and garden. I told my desires to my
friends. They all tried to dissuade me
from them. They offered me letters
to get work everywhere but in
America.
At last started, and, as I expected
when l got here, L found every one ready
to help me along. At my first Thanks
