His expressed determination to resign the governorshlp and return to the platform is welcomed by many thou sands who have been moved to tears by his pathos ard to laughter by his humor. He really did not desire to become gov ernor the second time, and only consent ed to run when convinced that his can didacy would save the democratic party in Tennessee from disruption.

Little Attention.,
Evil is wrought by want Of thought
AS well as by want of heart.

u
If husbands only realized what the
little attentions mean to their wives,
there would be many happier unions.
It is not the cost of a gift that makes it
precious to the recipient. A tiny bunch
Of violets brought home at night beto.
kens the thought given to her even
while business occupies his attention;
the most trifling souvenir Of wedding
or birthday anniversary becomes q SEN
timent underlying its proffering. Wom-
en- may be foolish, they may be all
heart aud very little reason, but the
man who understands their nature and
caters to it is the one who stands high
or in their estimation than the one who
acts as though all they cared about was
material comfort given with any sort
of brusquerie.
ct course there are many mercenary
women-thousands and thousands who
can marry for home and for rich raj
ment. These poohpooh the violets and
value only the diamonds. But the aver
age feminine heart, the sort which mar
wants to beat bt side his own, the foun-
dation of truest sympathy and love, is
moved more by the little attentions in
which sentiment is involved than Ly the
great offerings representing only stu
pendous sum ct money nvolved.-New

A rriar's Prediction.

A certain Spanish friar, who was an
almanac maker, predicted with accuracy
aud in distinct aud precise terms the
death Of Henry Nv of France. The friar
in question was arrested and brought
before the king, who treated the predic.
tion with contempt, while he thanked
tho friar for his anxiety upon his (the
king's) behalf.
The event, however, happened as the
prediction had foretold.
In this case it is, Of course, quite pos
1sible that the friar may have had some
secret knowledge Of the existence Of a
conspiracy against the kings life and
desired in this way to warn his majesty
Of the impending danger.
