|)mm limber (Sasctt*, ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2~]50. SATURDAY SEPT. 12 Office Holding - Testimony of a Veteran. Albert G. Drown, of Mississippi, ex-Governor anti ex-Senator, was ap pointed br gadier general of the Stati militia when only nineteen years old ; was elected to the Legislature before he was twenty-three, and to Congress at twenty-six. At twenty-eight he was chosen Circuit Judge of his dis trict, and while on the bench, in his thirtieth year, was made Governor of the State. From that time forward he became one of the foremost and and ablest of Southern politicians and took high rank as a Senator in Congress. His official career closed with the rebellion in 1805. For thirty three years he was continually in high official and political station. Like Carlyle and Raskin, this vete ran looks back upon the work of his life with regret, and delights his ima gination with pictures of the happi ness to he found in other callings his own. There is much, however, in his advice to young men to eschew office holding, that, deserves consider ation. In a letter lately published in the Corinth, Miss., Herald, Governor Brown says : True, as you say, I held many offices. Indeed, I may say that 1 never knew defeat in any of my as pirations. And it is just because J had success which people called won derful, that I feel competent to ad minister a word of “caution" to the young men of this generation. My young friends, do not be deceived by the glitter of office. I am now past my three-score years, and am fast traveling into the ten. I have held almost every office in the gift of the people, and I can truly say with the preacher, “it is all vanity and vexa tion of spirit.” Looking back over a long, and 1 hope not unsuccessful life, I can say with a clear conscience,*my greatest regret is that I ever made a political speech or held an office. There is a fascination in office which beguiles men, but bo ~&ssrirei\ my young friends, it is the fascination of a serpent, or to change the figure, it is ignusfatuus which coaxes you on to inevitable ruin. I speak of that which I do know. If my young friends will be goverened by my .advice, 1 have this to say, after all my success as a public man, now when my head is blossoming for the grave, 1 feel that it would have been better for me, if Iliad followed the occupation of my father, and been a farmer. The mechanic arts aro all honor able. To boa blacksmith, a carpen ter, or an artisan of any sort, is no discredit to any man. Better that than be a jack-leg lawyer, a quack doctor, counter-hopper, or worse still, a wretched seeker after cffice. Of all the pursuits in life that of a farmer is the most respectable, it may have its trials and disappoint ments. so do all others. The me chanic may loose the wages oi’ his labor, the professional man his fees, the editor may weopr over delinquent subscribers, but the honest, industri ous farmer is morally certain ol a fair return for his tabor. True, “Paul may plant, and Apollos water., but God must give the iu creas’e.” But where is the faithful cultivator of the soil, God’s heritage to man, who ever yet suffered tor bread. Allow me again to “caution’’ my young friends against the beguiling influence of office, and to advise them most earnestly to stick to mother earth. How to Put Children to Bed. —Nul with a reproof for any of that day’s sins of omission or commission. Take any other time but bed time for that. If you ever heard a little crea ture sighing or sobbing in its sleep, you could never do this. Seal then closing eyelids with a kiss and a bless ing. The time will come, too soon, when they will lie on their pillows, lacking both. Let them, then, at least have this sweet memory of a happy childhood, of which no future sorrow can rob them. Give them their rosy youth. Nor need this in volve wild license. The judicious pa rent will not so mistake my meaning. If you have ever met the man, or the woman, whose eyes have suddenly filled when a little child has crept trustingly to its mother’s breast, you may have seeu one in whose child hood’s home Dignity and Severity stood where Love and Pity should have been. Too much indulgence has ruined thousands of children; too mucL Love Dot one.
