THE REAL SEcREr.-TwW,ty clerks


in a store, twenty hands in printing
Office, twenty apprentices in a ship
yard, twenty young men in a village
all want to get along in the world


and expect to do so. One of the


clerks will become partner, and


make fortune; one Of the compost


tors will own a newspaper and be-


come an influential citizen; one of the


apprentices will become master


builder; one of the young villagers


will get handsome farm, and live


like a patriarch-but which one is the


lucky indidual? Lucky? There is no
such thing as luck about it. The
thing is almost as certain rs the rule
Of three The young fellow who will
distance his competitors is he who
masters his business, who preserves
his integrity, who lives cleanly and
purely, who devotcs his leasure to the
acquisition Of knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them and who
saves his spare money. There are
some ways to fortune shorter than
this old, lusty highway; but the
staunch men of the community, the
men who achieve something really
worth having, good fortune, good
name, and serene old age, all go in
this hard, dirty road.

THE DEATH KISS. Woman's love
Is there anything like il? A Canadians
wife has just died in Raleigh, and he has
taken her to Canada TO bury her under
the native sod. She died in a land Of
strangers, but left behind her the name
OF a devoted wife. 1t was love in death.
He saw her sinking fast he knew it, she
knew tit was consumption. He nursed
her like child, the great strong man,
and they were in the room together, the
night she died. She wanted to gaze at
the world outside once more, but he en-
treated her against it, and told her that
to take her up would make her worse
but she told him she was dying anyway,
and he lifted her very tenderly in his
arms, and walked with her about the
room, holding her TO his breast and show
ing her this object and that, pointing out
every pleasant thing, and she kissed him
with every breath until the last breath
had gone, and the kiss died cold on his
cheek. Woman's love When God
made man be put all heaven in woman's
love, and told him to win it and be wor-

" What are you doing up there ?"


The man made no reply, and the citizen
continued


" What's the cause Of your being up
there ?"


At that moment woman rose up from
the fence corner, rested club on the
fence, and remarked:


=" am the cause, stranger, and if you
wait Until he comes down you'll see the
worst field Of carnage around here that

GAZE OF THE EAR.--In his treatise on
Physiology. Hinton gives us to under
stand that the passage of the ear does
not require cleaning by us; nature un-
dertakes that task. and in the healthy
state fulfills it perfectly. Her means
for cleansing the ear is the wax, which
dries up into thin scales and peels off
and falls away imperceptibly. In health
the passage of the ear is never dirty,
but an attempt to clean it will infallibly
make it SO. Washing the ear out with
soap and water is bad; it keeps the wax
moist when it ought to become dry and
scaly, and makes it absorb dust. But
the most hurtful thing is the introduce
ton Of the corner of towel screwed
up and twisted around. This proceed
ing irritates the passage and presses
down the wax and flakes Of skin upon
the membrane of the tympanum, pro-
ducing pain. Inflammation and deaf :
ness. The washing should only extend
to the outer surface, so far as the fin
gers can reach.

UNFOUNDED RUMoR. of
our Territorial exchanges give
currency to the rumor that Hon.


IS. Kearney has been appoint
ed Governor of this Territory,
in place of Governor Ferry, re-
moved. We believe our inform
alton from Washington is direct
and reliable as any upon which
this rumor is based, and we un-
hesitatingly say that it is with
out any foundation in truth. We
have the most positive assurance
es that neither Governor Ferry
nor any other Federal officer in
this Territory will be removed
for any cause, now or heretofore
existing, or which may hereaf-
ter occur, not materially affect
ing the personal integrity Of
such officer or the public inter
ests. We have also the person
al assurances of Mr.. Kearney
himself that he would not ac-
cept an appointment by the re-
moval of another but for such
cause as would make the change
one of public necessity. No one
pretends that the public interests
demand any such summary
change at the present time. We
would be very glad to see Mr..
Kearney in the highest political
position in the Territory, and
would feel an abiding assurance
that the affairs of the Office
would be ably and faithfully
conducted, but we know that he
would not seek such a place by
dishonoring an incumbent for
his own promotion. For it is
dishonorable to the officer and
disgraceful to the Administra-
ton to remove during an official
term merely through personal
or party favoritism. No one
who honestly regards the pub
lie interests, who is sincerely a
friend of the Administration, or
who takes a disinterested or pat
riotic view of politics, ever seeks
the removal of even a tolerable
official during his term of Office
for the purpose of rewarding or
promoting another. Such move
ments are always the results of
clique combinations governed en-
tirely by selfish motives and are
embarrassing to the appointing
power and attended with no
public good, or justified by any
consideration of public policy.

Col. Caughman delivered q lecture

and replete with interest, but I can
attempt nothing more than a synop-

race, in opposition to tho theory OF
Infdel scientific writer's, and showed
the evil influence of these inadcl
writings upon the youth of the coun'
try.

race drawn from the sacred Scriptures,
and demonstrated the plausibility OF
his theory, by showing that the dec
larations of Holy Writ have been YER.
flied by the history of the negro race
in every country where they have had
an existence.


Ho expressed desire to extend to
them all the advantages Of education
and Christian influence Of the age.
Yet with all this fostering care, in
consequence Of their great inferiority
in point of intellect, he entertained
the idea, that the race, rs race,

vantage in the tanning of the cOarser leathers


Good soft water is afforded by any Of the
various creeks and also by few springs.

and the price moderate. The quality is af-
fccted by bad handling in curing and drying
and by starved or unsound stock of cattle
