THE WISEST.
That mar is more than richly blest
Who takes life as he finds it;
Keeps his W secrets in his breast
Knows his own biz-and minds it.
That man is either fool or knave,
And works his own disaster,
Who digs for other men a grave,
Or feels himself their master.
He goes to ruin fast or slow
Who SCOTS at race or nation,
Assuming he is boss below
And running all creation.

With Mr.. Gillespie in the race, Mr..
Kent had not the ghost of show to
win. and even if the party leaders
had not decided at conference In the
small hours of yesterday morning to
bow before the will of the hosts from
the great Southwestern part of the
State. any hopes that they might have
entertained for the nomination of Mr..
Kent over Mr.. Gillespie would have
been shattered by the wild demonstra-

morning when Patrick Henry Mccall.
of Lynchburg, mentioned Mr. Giles

Scarcely had the name of the Taze-
