THE OLD WRECK.

tailed and horrible abortion printed from
a sorgum press for ten consecutive days
in Henderson few months back and
fondly christened by the ambitious par
ent: every Evening"" A beer bottling
establishment was the only firm which
ever recognized its existence in the shape
of an advertisement, and as the pub
Usher found it expensive setting so much
old type to print only two papers, the
enterprise went out of the world without
leaving a hole in the universe. When
the poor old Chronicle is driven to the
necessity of hiring So men on its editor
ial staff it really looks as though the old
wreck was sinking faster than joe's
worst enemy had hoped or anticipated.
How have the mighty fallen
HUMAN LINKS.
In America perhaps more than any
other land, is the desire to seek fresh
scenes, and the impulse to wander far and
wide, gratifed to general extent. While
the inhabitants Of every cline may find
rising in their natures a disposition and
ambition to cut away from the associa-
tiOns of youth and to sail out single
handed into the ocean of life, there is in
many European countries-notably Scot
land, England, Switzerland, Spain, and
Italy-excepting of course peripatetic
organ grinders of the latter sunny land
natural inclination Of the people, the
peasantry and rural classes, as we'll as
the titled and rich, to remain upon their
ancestral domains and take the blessings
and misfortunes which fate brings them
with thankful or unthankful hearts-as
the case may be-but with certain de-
gree of contentment which a familiarity
and affection for personal surroundings
always give.
But Americans who are deficient in
nothing so much as patience, rival the
young birds of the forest in their eager
ness to try their wings and fly away
from their parental nest. The young
American cannot believe that one place
in his great country is as good as another
and that the advantage of residing at and
growing up in his native place is valu
able element in the career of a worthy
man, but he looks wishfully abroad until
he fancies he has discovered an open and
desirable field for his future work when
he plumes hlmtelf and flies away.
And it is not alone to the inviting vast
ness of the western praries that the eye of
emigration turns. The region truly alb
serbs the great bulk of settlers, but it is
quite remarkable what vast number of
people are constantly moving from one
state to another and to and from differ
ent sections Of the same state. Young
men from northern states 90 South,
young southerners como North, eastern
boys come West and the western lads 60
East-all satisfied that in their newly Sc
lected homes they will do better and be
happier than in the old. Whether these
expectations are always or ever realized
is difficult to decide, but one thing grows
out Of such an arrangement which may
be Indicative of the guiding presence OF
the All Wise wisdom, and that is that
families are separated and friends parted
through these desires a web is woven
that covers the whole nation and holds
it together in natural and sympathetic
unity, for its texture is formed of the
tenderest chords of human affection
which binds and holds distant friends
and through them their localities to-
gether; and SO interviewer are these
chords, 50 widely separated are families
and friends, SO closely allied are personal
ties and so diffuse the kindred sentiments
which may find its object in any or every
state that the harmony, good will and
safety Of the nation would be almost as
sured on the strength Of personal regard
and esteem alone.
But when below the fertile and boun-
teOus soil there rests the massive sub
startum formed Of the essence of ciyili-
zatiOn, Liberty, Justice and Truth into a
Free Republic; when below that stratum
rests as the primeval foundation stone,
Christian Religion, then indeed may the
human links which bind with flowery
garlands the widely scattered people and
the natiCn together, be regarded as a
blessing which may more than counter
balance the individal disappointment and
the encouragement which may come
upon some Of those who, as they pass
into the sere and yellow of life, sigh for
the scene of early days and mourn for
visions that have faded from their eyes
forever.
