Be in Earnest.
Be in earnest! If you have an}*-
thing to accomplish, go at it with a
will, and let no barrier deter you
that may be gone round, borne
down, or climbed over. Longing
and wishing, although they may
open the door for action, amount to
very little unless the feet are swift
and the hands willing; unless the
purpose is ardent, Hie will-power
strong, and faith looks daringly for
ward to the consummation.
Be in earnest! If you have a
ditch to dig, or a shirt to make, do
not repine and sighover die drudge*
ry of life, but bend yourself to the
task, and be assured that the strong*
est man or most expert woman could
have done the same no better, and
a little
in its completion.
A blacksmith may, and has be
come world renowned, not because
the work was grand, but il was done
grandly. He look the same rough
iron as his smutty companion, but
gave it more thought, more turns
and brighter polish, and would b<
satisfied only with the best, so woke
up one morning to find himself fa
mous.
Be in earnest! If you are talking
to another ielhimorher feel lhalyour
longue utters the convictions of
your soul, and that your actions are
the results of true and tried pruiei*
pie; then, be he fiiend or foe, he
will know where you stand and be
prepared to meet you face to face.
Look around you. Is there any*
thing in life that does not require
your mightiest help or effort? The
world is lull of shadows where only
strong bare arms are needed to clear
away the rubbish and broken
boughs, to let the warm sunshine
lay caressingly in the darkened
phtcesand quicken inio life the g< rms
of sweetest flowers that, hid be*
nealli seared, withered leaves, lay
chili and dead amid damp and
frost.
Be in earnest! You have but
one to*day, and when it is gone it
is gone forever. The sun bends
steadily to the western horizon, and
your sheave must be cut and bound
while the day lasts, if you would
count them with satisfaction at the
twilight hour. There is not a mo*
menl to be wasted. Morning and
evening, seed-time and harvest give
you the same loud call to the vine
yard of life, and furnish labor and
reward to every willing worker.
“The keen spirit seizes the prompt
occasion, makes the thoughts start
into action, and at once plans and
performs, resolves and executes.”
Glance over the field and mark the
glorious work. There are laws to
be made, sermons to be preached,
and pictures to be painted. There
are wrongs to be met, vices to be
uprooted, and right to be made tri
umphant. There are hearts Uv4)e
comforted, feeble efforts to be en-
ouraged, and zeal to be kindled by
your own. And for these you can
only be prepared by giving your
whole heart to present duties, and
by doing the lowest work as well
as it can possibly be done. Then
when new labor and higher work
comes, it will be taken up joyfully,
and the ability will grow with the
occasion.
Be in earnest ! Get up in the
morning. “Let no grass grow un
der your feet.” If you have a log
to chop, make your axe fly and let
the chips attest to your industry. If
you have a iessou to learn, put heart
and brain to the effort, that the
harvest of knowledge may be plen
teous and golden. And whether
you have a sermon to preach or a
shoe to peg, dishes to wash or a
book to write, be in earnest—earn
est in your speech, earnest in your
actions, earnest in your life, never
forgetting the text, “Whatever
yeur hands find to do, do it with all
your might.”
“Let. us, then be up and doing
With a heart for every fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”

the soft and delicious atmosphere of

reservoirs of perennial richness, upon
whose broad bosoms are borne the
bread to bless the distant nations, or
carried the cotton to clothe the con
tinent. From its flowers float a fra
grance that fills to fulness the aro
matic air, while their gorgeous garbs
give a graceful glory to the green
woods. 'Hie soft and silk n splen
dors of its summer skies speak sweet
ly to the soul of him who is taught

Our Beautiful South.
It will not be long before the lour
ist seeking to enjoy the beauties of
nature and the pleasures of travel
will learn that within the limits of
the Southern Stales he can find all
that the most exacting taste can de
mand, or the most enthusiastic devo
tee of beauty can desire. All that
is necessary is that tbe increase of
traveling facilities should continue
for the next few years as they have
during the past year, and the entire
country will be covered by a com
plete network of railroads. Should
ho take pleasure in the grandeur of
mountain scenery, in the western
portions of Virginia and North Car
olina arid East Tennessee, he can
find it as rough and rugged as in the
most romantic regions of the old
G-ov. Vanes on Independent Candidates,
Hogs, Old Whites, Radicals, etc.
Gov. Vance, a few days ago, at
Statesville, N. C., made an amusing
speech, from which we make the
following extracts. Read ami laugh:
One fellow will tell you that he is
an old VV-h-i g, and don’t like the
Democrats and Secessionists; that
they brought on the war and are re
sponsible for all the ruin of the coun
try, and therefore they think they
had better go over. [Laughter.] Now
I have this to say about that: l.i the
first place, these Secessionists, alone,
were not responsible for the war.
The Northern Abolitionists bad, in
my opinion, more to do in bringing
on the war than anybody else. But
suppose the Democrats were to
blame for it, how does that affect
the question ? What excuse doe*
that give for lending your influence
to a party that is robbing the coun
try of the little the war left it r Sup
pose I was a Democrat at the be
ginning of the war (which I never
was,) or a Secessionist (which I nev
er have been,) or that I helped to
bring on the war, (which 1 never
did,) is that any reason why you
should take to stealing ? [Laughter.] |
Suppose a neighbor should catch
you robbing his hen-roost, do you
think it would be a good excuse to
say, Why, I wouldn’t have stolen
these il Vance hadn’t brought on this
war? [More laughter.]
Now', I want to tell you some of
the symptoms of a fellow when he
begins to turn over. He first begins
to talk about being ‘independent.’ He
is not tied down to any party, and
will vflte for whathe thinks best, etc.
According to the diagonosis of the
most skillful political doctors, this
symptom means the same thing as
the sheriff'there says when he leads
a horse out to the block and cries
out, ‘who say*, gentlemen, and how
much?’ [Applause.] This is an in
dependent horse! [Great applause.J
In other words, he’s for sale. A man
who is devoted to principle jan’t be
independent. His principles con
strain him to vote with that party
which will carry them out. The next
system is an intense love of old
whiggery. [Laughter and applause.]
When this comes out strong you may
appoint the funeral. Radway’s Rea
dy Relief can’t save hitn. [Great
laughter and continued applause.] 1
do protest and beg that if any man
wants to join the Radical pai tv, he
won’t prostitute the name of old
Whigs. Tbe old Whig party was
at least a decent party. The Dem
ocrats in olden times used to call it
aristocratic, and to some extent it
was. I can see now many of these
old fellows who used to dress with
scrupulous neatness, their* boot* so
black and shiny that a puppy would
bark at his image in them all day,
[laughter,] his shirt collar white as
paper and stiff*as pasteboard ; in his
pocket he carried a copy of the Na~
i tiotial Intelligencer, and blowed his
red bandanna handkerchief. [Great
laughter and applause.] men
we«e tbe very salt of the rarth for
personal and political uprightness.
They elevated no thieves and pub
lic plunderers to high positions iu
the government; lh'*y made no Lit
tlefields the guardians of their State
bonds; they had no Sam. Watts
nor Jaybird J-mes on the bench.
They associated politically with no
Guffy Mayo Deweese, A. J. June.*,
Windy Billys, and Jordan Cham
bers. [Applause.]
This profane use of the name of
Whig lemind* me of a circumstance
that happened once iu my law office.
A fellow came in one day, and, tak
ing a seal, with a sheepish counte
nance said, “Governor, me anj an
other gentleman has got iulo a little
crape, and 1 want you to ln-lp as
out of it.” “What sort of a scrnjK*?”
said I. “W-e-l I, its a kind of dis
pute,” s»id he. “But what kind of
a dispuesad I. “Well,” said
he again, ‘Ml’s a matter cousariiiu’ of
hogs.” [Laughter.] “We^l, flow
concerning hog* ?” said I. “Well,”
said he, “I briievr he accuse* me ol
taking oneof ’em.” [Great laughter.]
He didn’t want to call il by its right
name. Now, if any of you want to
go over to get yourshareof this plun
der that’s going round, don’t pul it
on “old Whiggery.” [Great laugh
ter.] Don’t call it a ‘matter ofhogs.*
but c line out openly and call il by
its true name—a matter of sttaliug.
[Continued applause and laughter.]
Some m-ii pretmd to find a great
similarity between the doctrines of
the old Whig party and Radicalism.
There never was a greater umlake.
There is no Whiggery in any of these
violations ol the Constitution and
outrages upon civil liberty that 1
have mentioned. Light is not more
widely separated from darkness than
are the principles which distingur-h
these two parlies. Just imagine, if
you can, Henry Clay wallowing iu
the same fled with Billy Holden, the
Hon.Cufly Mayo, and Win fv Billy
Henderson; an I Daniel Webster
stirring them with a stick. [Uprori-
ous laughter] 1 repeat, if you havr
any inkling for the flesh-pots of Egypt
say so, and be done win it. Belike
the girl when her bashful sweetheart,
ashamed to speak his mind, sat and
swallowed his spittle in stupid em
barrassment, and kepi pressing her
foot with his under the table. She
finally exclaimed, “John, if you love
me, why can’t you say so, like a
man, and quit dirtying my clean
stockings. [Great laughter.]
Look also at the political perse-
cutinn to which they are subjecting
the people in the Federal courts un
der this infamous unconstitutional
kuklux act. I have heard it stated
that there are 2,000 defendants in
dicted and to be tried at Raleigh,
no doubt before a packed jury of
Radicals, as others have been tried,
no one of whom is charged with tak
ing life or for any other offence
which would amount to more iu our
Stale courts than assault aud batte
ry ot a forcible trespass. 1 have
seen five or six hundred passing
through Charlotte at one time, of
men, womeu, and children, going
two hundred aud fifty miles from
home to attend court, some with
their rations tied up iu rags, leaving
their farms to neglect and ruin, with
little or no money, and compelled
for want of means to camp out in
crowds without a shelter over
their heads, for weeks at a time.
How such a sight does fill me with
love and admiration for tbe Govern
ment! The object of all this is ap
parent enough. One of their most
distinguished men had the impu
dence to tell me that they intended
to ruii enough of our citizens away
by ku-klux‘'prosecutions to carry the
Slate in the next elections. I told
hitn, if you undertake to do that 1
wilt issue a proclamation telling them
all to come back. [Laughter and
applause.] I only tell you what I
had from the mouths of their own
leaders. Still smiie men pretend
that they are not satisfied with the
progress that the Democracy are
making to restore a proper rule to
the country, aud they make a thou
sand objections to continuing in the
Conservative ranks.

Some Discount.—One pleasant
mot tong, some two or three years
ago, a party of gentlemen (oue of
them a well known dry goods mer
chant) were standing on the steps of
the Tremont House, in Boston, en
joying their cigars, when they no
ticed a country-lookiog chap riding
a slim, mangy horse up and down
the street, in front of the hotel; ap
parently trying to attract tbe atten
tion of the group. One of them says,
‘Til bet that fellow has a horse for
sale. We’ll see.” Presently along
he came, showing his beast, and was
accosted with: “I say is that ani
mal for sale f* Well, y a-a-s, I might
be induced to part with him; but he
is a mighty likely critter.” “I* be
sound ?** “Sound as a bullet.” “Can
he trot?” “Trot! Well be can. He
can just mock a trotter.” “How fast
can he go ?” “How fast. Well, he
can go in four minutes, and be would
go taster :f be could. He’d love-ter!”
“What is your price for him?” “Five
hundred.” “Well, I don’t want a
horse, but I’ll give five dollars for
him.” “Stranger, he’s yourn. But
that’s a heavy discount.”
