Keep it, dear friend, and show it,
Too poor to possess the precious ore,
And too much of a stranger to borrow,
We issued today our promise to pay,
And hoped to redeem on the morrow.
THE days rolled on and weeks became

But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so rare that our Treasury quakeC
If dollar should drop in the tile.
I'VE knew it had hardly value in gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received it;

And each patriot soldier believed it.
Keep it, for it tells our story all DER

Modest, and born of the Angel Hope,
Like the hope of success-it passed."

This is Democracy pure and unde-

Most hearts are pure while temptation

of some politicians as to the future o.

They are very wise in ignorance, anC

see far enough to see the boot they
think is the one for them. But Gro

THERE is a vast difference between
labor and laziness, and any newspa-
per should have a more exalted opinr
ion Of labOrers than to try to thrust
the odium in which lazy idlers are
held upon their shoulders. Labor is
honorable, and the truest noblemen
of earth are the laborers. Labor ere
ates capital, and produces everything
we eat, wear, and enjoy in this life;
but laziness creates nothing, produces
nothing, represents nothing else on
Gods green earth but laziness. y
Everybody hOnors labor; nobody
respects laziness.

ACCORDING to the provisions ofthe
direct tax bill, which was signed by
the President, nearly four hundred
thousand dollars will be turned over
to the State authorities of Tennessee,
to be by them refunded to citizens by
whom it was paid. Six years are all
lowed in which to adjust the claims.
All sums not refunded in that time
are to be turned into the general
State funds. A majority Of the peo-
pie who paid this tax are probably
dead, but in many cases it can be re
funded to their children or heirs, but
no doubt Tennessee will have very
neat little sum left, which can be
utilized to good advantage in the
