c. HEARD,) L’li 0 L’li IF TOR. y VOL. XIX. VAGRAYTS. Straoge as it may appear, vagrancy is a regular profession. It has mem bets of every conceivable worth and worthlessness. It may properly be termed a learned profession. To live by one’s wits, and endeavor nbovo all things to avoid auy labor, requires more skill, tact and training than it would to earn a good support in some legitimate manner The very uncer tainties, the utter ea.relessuess and abandon of the profession, constitute such a charm that its members prefer its chances to the certain rewards of honest labor. However, all vagrants are not poor. There are times when some people possessed of cansiderable wealth, are no less vagrants than the miserable tramp who begs a scanty subsistence. What is a ttramp ? Every person who is not engaged in the product Lou or manipulation, of the mental or material products of the world, is a vagrant. Whoever is not a producer or purveyor of those things which are needful to man, as a humane, moral and intellectual being, is a drone, and the possession of ill-gotten goods should not shield such a person from merited contempt. The tramp, the beggar, the burglar the assassin, the pirate and the brigand are universally acknowledged to be drones and vagrants. But who bits said ns much o! the genteel and well to-do" gambler* who seems to be ui.s* ler of fortune ? Upon his deals and throws, luck always seems to attend as a willing and obsequious vassal. He is assassin of reputations and pi rote of private purses. Gamblers ami therr retainers, pu gilists and their h"sts of adherents, — all whose business is to give evidence of fi-lie, and markmanship of skill, throughout the country, rob the poor. live on their sustenance, arid arc va grants. Such classes are tolerated, even courted, and encouraged by Socie ty. This is only another evidence that society is willing to extend the broad mantle of charity and pardon to offences of almost any character, pro vided they are joined with success. Sucoess covers a uiigli y multitude of evils; BOthing succeeds like success The monster thief who can steal a mil lion dollars and keep it. instead of be ing regarded as a monumental criminal, i9 often used as an illustration of suc cess, and posterity is urged to emulate his example. His children are the l spoiled favorites of society as long as their money lasts. Losing that, they are then forgotten and others are sub stituted. The means by which such a man accumulated hi- wealth ui iy have been most foul, fie may have lied, swindled, bribed, stolen, misrepresent ed or committed the entire catalogue of crimes, but he has succeeded aud has money. Society goes no further; it asks no uncomfortable questions His life and antecedents are metiers of minor importance. The woi.d has adopted the maxim of Walpole, “Ev ery man has his priee.” Money buys admission to the first circles ; money secures the society of the most refined and cultivated, for coarse and illiterate familis. The money of libertines, whose names are foul with the mosf detestable and crim inal vices, enables them to associate on terms of equality with' pure minded maidens whose thoughts are as a snow-flake. The pure and virtuous, the cultivated and refined, literally sell their society to capture the wealthy vagrant After that their lives be ctuie a living sacrifice These things only show the omnipotence of wealth. They proclaim the doctrine of our civilization that wealth should first be sought ; That its attainment should be the highest motive of every human being The advice of logo is constant ly reiterated, • Put money in thy purse ’ While society recognizes (be fact that there is an actual and real difference between the poor vagbaond and the wealty vagrant, so long will it be pos sible for the worst classes to mix with the best, and so long will the attend ant evils curse and' blight,—Texas Siftings, .Will UK KKKOKMKO. ‘You must excuse me, gentle men, for 1 Can not drink anything,’ said a man who was known to the entire town as a drunkard, ‘This i9*the first time you ever refused a drink,’ said an acquain tance. 'The other day you were hustling around after a cocktail, and in fact you asked me to set ’em up ’ ‘That’s very true, but I am a ve ry different man now.’ ‘Preachers had a hold o£ you V ‘No, sir, no one has said any thing to mo.’ ‘Well, what has caused the re formation r *TH tell you. After leaving you the other day, I kept oa hustling for a cocktail, as you term it, until I met a party of friends. When I left them I was about half drunk. 1 would not have stopped at this, tut my friends bed to burry away to catch a train. To a man of my temperament, a. half drunk is a miserable con,di;ioo, for the desire for more is so strong that he for gets his self respect in his efforts to get more to drink Failing at the saloons.

Dcepl rooted crops, such as wheat, red clover and mangels, are best fitted to resist drouth while shal low-rooted crops, as gra-s and turnips, are those which suffer most from it. In a damp, cold summer the harvest is always late, growth haviug taken place slowly in the deficiency of light and heat ; the season is olteo too short for maturing erbps. A knowledge of the climate best suit ed to each is of great service to the cu! tivator io selecting cri ps for any spe cial location Thus, wheat requires hot and dry weather for its ripeoiog period, while oats will ripen in a damp atmosphere. Mangels require heat, and will resist the drouth, while tur nips succeed best in cold, moist air. In adverse seasons a good, ridi soil is the farmer's only hope. With p!cn ty of plant food to induce a great amount of vitality in the plants, crops will often succeed in nroducing advar.- Devoted to file Cause of Truth and .Msiire, ami die Interests of Idle People, GREENESBORO’, G FRIDAY.

Any Fool Ought to linow It. Bill Brelsford is a wefl-to-do farmer of I)e Witt county, 111. lie was a wit ness one day in court. The bantering lawyer in cross examining asked Brels ford if lie saw the defendant wounded in the fracas. “No,” said BreLfitrd, “he was hurt in the cornfield " Everybody laughed, but the lawyer, with preceptjble warmth, contiuued by saying; “'lt seems that you don’t know what a fracas is ; auy fool ought to know that." ‘ Yes, probably any fool would, but what is it? replied the witness. “Oh, never rniud ? it's a legal term we lawyer’s use. But tell the jury what you were doing when the fight oo cured.” “Snapping corn, sir.” “And pray tell what you menu by snapping corn." “Oh, it's a term wo farmers use when we cat her corn with the hu-k on, any fool ought to know that ” The legal sharp quick subsided upon o deafening roar of laughter. An irishman, crossing by steamer from Dunlin to Glasgow, feeling sea sick, was greatly annoyed by the lam entations of a vamvway couple in tie next eotapacimerit, who had evidcily GJleo out poring the’r eb.'jxMfiecK “Look what I have thrown up for you, George," sighed the fair one—“my father, nj.y mother, and a comlartable home.’’ “And what have I not ib.rown up for you ?" retorted her companion “a good situation, and " ‘‘Arrah howid your tongues there," cried the irate son of Erin, “what have you both to cry about ? Come in here and see whit i have thrown up. .Redad, I’ve thrown up more than the two of you put togatber !’’ The New York IS on says, that a successful search has been made for the remains of the wrecks of the Boussole and Astrolabe which went down near Vaoikoro, in the South Pacific, a century ago,— They were the two ships with which the ill-fated LaPerouse went on his last voyage. Anchors, cannon, and numerous other relics were found and conveyed to Notrtna in New Caledonia. They were received by the French authorities with impres sive ceremonies, the garrison and blue jackets being ordered to give military honors, and a salute of 21 guns being fired by the guns of the forts. Among tho trophies of the search is a bronze cannon dated 1621, and the anchors are covered over with coral in tho strangest manner. The relics will be sent to the Louvre, and placed in the La Perouse room. A good dish fur breakfast is made by chopping pieces of cold boiled or fried ham just as fine as it is pos-ible to chop them; mix them with cold mashed potatoes, an egg or two, a little butter or cream, or both, form into balls, flour them, melt a little butter in a frying pan, and brown the balls.— Serve hot. * _ - •*' -* A Frenchman, boasting in com pany that he had thoroughly mas tered the English language, was asked to write the following dicta tion; “As Hugh Hughes was hew ing yule log from a yew-tree, a man dressed io clothes of a dark hue came op to Hugh, and said; ‘//ave you seen my ewes? 1 ‘lf you will wait till 1 hew this yew, 1 will go with you any where in England to look far your ewes.’ ” solid case of Diaui ml Dyes.
