Some times we have enlisted our sym
pathies with an Editor and considered
him modern "Job," to subdue a burn
Ing desire to "wipe up the earth" with
| a contemporary who persists in criti-
cising without limit and discretion; and
then he has such patient forbearance
with us poor unfOrtunates, that are pos
Sessed of slight "literary aspirations
and often times wastes his time and
! talent on an ungrateful and unappre-
| ciative public. But we have begun to
look at things differently and think d
country grip who is debarred from
the pie lsure of accepting an invitation
! to spend an evening "Out," and is
| forced by the prevailing inclemency, to
| f regO the idea of getting beyond the
comm IS of the yard fence-On the
whole, when she is disappointed seven
! days out of the week aud can only
| "smile andjmake the best of things
| she deserves great unbounded sympa-
! thy for her ''trial." How consoling are
those words of Longfellow's that say:
"Be still, sad heart! and cease repining,
Behind the cloud the suns still shin
ing;
Thv fat is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days be dark and dreary."
Rev. Darnell, Presiding Elder for the
Savannah District, moved his family
from Lawrenceburg to our town last
week to have access to our splendidly
yet in its infancy, but as a mixed school
it already promises to be second
to none in the State. The building up
of this school, and so badly needed, has
given our village quite an impetus of
growth. In several of our most hospi-
table HON eS can be found young ladies
and men, boarding and attending
school, and houses "to let" cannot meet
the demand.
