Tihc ‘bwwwiaS supper” of our “city fath

superb supper was spread and around the

citizens were in attendance and it was pn

Moonlight nights are now m vogue,
and it was to notice a few nights
since, a certain couple in this city, as they
bathed tn its mild effulgence. Wc could

Two heart? that beat as one.’’
Yes to an “article of single wretchedness”
it as painful to behold such and killing to

It is sajd that a certain man In Butts
county was so -earful of being detected that,
as soon as he heard that there were whis*
Ky detectives in the county, he sought at
once to evade discovery'. This was done by
changing his natur.l color toa shade de
Afrique, and then attiring himself :n ta
male garb, proceeded to play the role of
servant girl. Thus he was situated until
all danger was passed, and it is said that Le
filled liis new station almost true 10 the
original.

business is all overdone-; our schools aive a
failure; our churches don’t amount to any
thin;;; there is no society; taxes are enor
mous real estate is going down; and in
short the place is a dead failure. Thus you
prevent a man from coming in to help
make business, to help pay taxes and sup
port local institutions.
As we nave before stated, Mr. John N,
Webb has purchased the old baptist church
intending to use the lumber in making some
additions to the W-ehb House. Last Friday
eve, while he, Mr. Jno. ,T. Ingram, Louis
Rogers, col., Lave Lee, col., Lem Cary,
col , and Jim Drake, col., were standing
upon the joists removing the rafters, some
thing gave way and the whole ot them fell
to the ground —a distance of about Sd feet.
The flooring had been removed, but the
sleepers were still in their place and it was
rather nice work to fall so ns not to strike a
sleeper. The negro men went through
“O. K.”—lit on their heads —:>o damage
done. Rut Messrs \\ ebb and Ingiain fell too
loosely and struck sleepers. Mr. Webb's
shoulder was knocked out of jo.nt and some
other slight bruises were inflicted. Mr. In
gram left side struck a sleeper indicting a
contused w.nind trom his knesto liis should
er. They were at once taken to the hotel
where they received medical attention. At
present they are up and about and as
jolly as those wjio missed the sleepers.

“The lives of great men all remind us
V\e can make our sublime;
And. departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time,”
I have sonicw here seen a pretty legend,
ot gentleman for whom some enamored fai
ry wrong Id a precious talisman, which had
the power to attract all persons wluj came
near the wearer to himself. The charm
wrought iiowcrfully on the companions ot
the fortunate nobleman; and lie was loved
with wondrous affection by a large circle of
admiring friends
If such a talisman were attainable, at the
cost of much labor, suffering and even dan
ger, many young men would seek it with
incredible industry. His imagina'ion won and
be charmed by the idea. He would be rea
dy to attempt the ascent if the Andes, or
the exploration of the dreamy rcajms of the
Ice JJink, round the poles.
But when that same young man is told
that, unless neutralized by moral deficien
cies, knowledge is really a precious talisman,
commanding the respect and influencing the
cpinion? and conduct-of alj minds within
bis sphere ot action, —elevating k* posses
sor to influence, to honor, tm 1, po-siblv, to
fortune, —be turns away with apathy, per
haps with scorn. lie disdains mental toil.
However physically industrious fie may be,
lie is intellectually too lazy to read, study
and reflect. Books are the objects of his
fixed dislike. He would be delighted to
wield a commanding influence, to make a
deep mark in the wor’d; but, he is too sloth
ful, too sensuous, to prosecute the studies,
which, oy expanding, strengthening, and
developing the intellect, lea l to high aebiev
nu-nts and to eminence He prefers to
waste his leisure hou*s in idle lounging,
in frivolous amusement, in unprofitable coin
panionships What is the consequence?
It requires ro .prophetic afflatus to nredict
that such a young man will spend his days
in comparative obscurity,—that on his “gras
sy grave the men of future 'hues will care
less tread.”
Next lo moral worth, no possession is so
productive oi'ral influence as a highly cul
tivated intellect. Wealth, birth, and official
station, may, and do. secure to their posses
sors an external, superficial courtesy; but
they never did, and they never e4U c

Such was the romantic drcaiu <>f younu

" hat young man has not had unagings
usually romantic? Where i* l lie jiocr sacor

seen in himself a future Littleton, Coke, or

There never was a young man, of any ad
vantages, who did not rise to eminent suc
cess, in his linursi f reverie. For youth is
the period of dreams, in which Queen Mab,
with her fairy crew, holds undisputed reign
over the imagination, and revels at will in
the hall ui fancy.
Hut why, since all dream of greatness do ;
so few attain it? Why stand Nelson. Story.

of the their imagings, among ten thousand
of their peers, whose early dreams wen a
blight and oivid as their o*a n ? Why do so
few young men distinguish themselves, out
of the many whose hoj s, purposes and re
solves, are as radiant as ill • co’ors of the
rail)bow ?
The answer is obvious Young men are i
not willing to devote themselves to that
process ol slow, t nlsonj ; selfculture, that is
the price of great success. Cjuld they soar j
to imjncncc on the lazy wings ot genius, the
world would he filled w ith great men. Hut
this can never be; for, whatever aptitude
