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.” J ing pictures of woods and flowers, of j rivers and lakes, the balmy breezes |of Floiida will woo him to their soli embrace. He can find the jungles of India in die wilds ol Arkansas, the pampas of South America on trie plains of Texas, the fertility ol the Nile iu the fields ot Alabama and Mississippi and Louisiana, n gener ous hospitality in the homes of the genial Georgians, the beauty of itn English meadow in the blue grass regions of Kentucky, the courtly cultivation of a kingly race iu the unconquerable Carolinian, the more mellowing influence of an older civ ilization upon the quiet farms of Ma ryland, the mighty movements ot modern energy in the magnificent development of Missouri. It em braces every variety of climate from the soft and delicious atmosphere of Florida to the cool and bracing air of Virginia. It affords every spe cies of bird and beast ami fish an I fowi that can tempi the skill of the sportsman or whet the appetite «►! the epicure. Its rivers are running 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 by the quiet beauty of nature. The longings of a heart that knows thee well and Imes thee belter, beau- titul South, that for these weary years have seen the endless succes sion of rows of (rouses along crowd ed thoroughfares or filthy streets, cannot be suppressed. Once more he feels, amidst the cares and atrxie* ties of the exactions of an active city life, the gentle influences of thy motherly teachings, and yearns to lay his head upon thy loving boson) and rest.— The N■ Y. South. 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. Interesting to the Soldiers of tha War of 1812—Ton are Satitkd to Pennons* Read the following : By an act of Congress approved February 14, 1871, pensions at the rate of eight dollars per month are granted to the officer* and drafted men, both militia and volunteers, of the military and naval service of the United Slates in the war of 1S12, who served for a period of sixty days, and to the widows of those who died who were married prior to the treaty of peace (December 24,1814) which terminated said war. Also to such officers and soldiers who served les.^than sixty days who have been personally named in any resolution Under this act three classes of claims w.ll arise: First.—Of officers, soldiers and s ih>rs, who served for sixty days, who have never been pensioned for a disability incurred in the service of the United Slates. These will be entitled to a full pension of eight dollars per month, from February 14, 1871. Second.—Of officers, soldiers and sailors, who served for sixty days but who are in receipt of a pension for disability incurred in the service of ibe United States. These will be entitled to an increase or their pen sion to eight dollars per month, from February 14, JS71. Third.—Of widows of officers, soldiers and sailors, who served six ty days, who were married to the soldier prior to the treaty of peace which terminated said war. (De- cember 2-», 1814), and who have not since remat tied. These will be en titled to eight dollars per month from February 14, 1871. If the term of service was less than sixty days, there is no claim tor pension under this act, unless the |»erson who served has been person ally mentioned iu a resolution of Congress for some specific service iu said war in which case he or his widow is entitled to the same bene* tits under its piovision, as though he had served the whole period of sixty days. Au honorable discharge in all ca ses is necessary. Declarations of these claimants must be made before a court of rec ord, or before some officer thereof having custody of its seal, sard offi> cer being fully authorized and em powered to administer ami certify any oath or affirmation relating to any pension or application therefor. The claimant’s identity and loyal ty must be proven by two witnesses, certified by the judicial officer to be respectable and credible, who are present aud witness the signature ot the declarant, and certify to his idem lily and loyally under oath or affir mation. The declaration must recite the name, age, and residence of claim ant ; whether married orunmsrried; that the term of service was tbe full period of sixty days; or that he baa been mentioned in a resolution ol Congress, giving date of resolution ; the place and lime of enlistment and discharge, and the company, regi ment, brigade, and division in which he served ; the places, capacity and manner of service, and his partici pation in, or connection with, any bostorical event of the war, are par ticularly desired to be mentioned. The declaration must also contain the following oath; “That I, (if a widow, “That neith er I nor my said husband,”) at no time during the late rebellion against the authorty of the United States, adhered to the cause of the enemies of tbe Government, giving them aid or comfort, or exercised the func tions of any office, under any author ity, or pretended authority, in hos tility to the United States, and that I will support the Constitution of the United Slates.” H.

Should be prefer the pleas- nose with the sound of a trumpet in a I in said war. 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.” CoMMKKcixt.
