Life Is liko a race wlieie some succeed While others are bogmuiug, ’Tis luck in some, in others speed, That givos an early winuing ; But if you chance to fall behind, Ne'er slacken your endeavor ; Just keep this wholesome truth in mind— “’Tis better late than never!” And if yon keep ahead 'tis well, But never trip your neighbor; 'Tis noble when you can excel By honest, (anient labor ; But if you are outstripped at last, Press on as bold as ever ; Remomber, though you arc surpaasod, “ 'Tis better late than never t” Ne’er labor for tfn idle boast Or victory o’or another ; y But while you strive uttermost, Deal faiijy with a brother ; ;/ Wbate’er your station, do your best, Aud hold your purpose ever ; And if you fail to do tbo rest, “ ’Tis better late than never.” Choose well the path in which you run— Succeed by double daring, Then, though ibe last, when once 'tis wou, Your crown is worth the wearing. Then fret tot if le f t behind, Nor never slack your endeavor, But ever keep this truth in mind— “’Tis better late than never !’’ MEW FLRAITIUE. A Wife Worth Having. “Wife,” said Edward Lincoln, as be settled bimself ou the sofa, one evening af.er tea, “we must have some new fur niture for this parlor, there’s no two ways about it; ours is getting to look decidedly shabby.” “Do you think so?’’ quietly replied Mrs. Lincoln. ‘I thought it looked very comfortable aud nioo here,” aud her eyes glanced with a bousekeept r’s pride over the room, which did wear an aspect of tasto and comfort, though ev ery articlo of furuituro was the same which was bought at the time of their marriage, ten years before. Nothing was new ; but the ingrain carpet was of bright, fresh colors, and of suoh graceful pattern that it was pleasing to the eye ; there were a large, well—fi led book-case, some pre tty cu gravings scatured about on the walls and side-tables, and the centre-table, with iis brightly burning solar-lain; > its lk-Ue vase of flowers, and its work table, books and papers, wnre t!i» e< zi cst look imaginable ; while the sofa on . . which Edward Lincoln was lying, though covered with expensive material, tita’cb ed the carpet and paper, and 1 Joked the very picture of case and comfort. Re fined taste and culture were visible in the arrangement of every article, as weii as the hand of the neat, and thrifty house wile ; well might Mrs. Lincoln say, “tvery thing looked nice and com fortable.” “Why, yes, comfortable enough, per haps,” rejoined her husband, “but bo old-fashioned, and behind the times ! There’s John Waters has just had both his parljrs newly furnished, and I Oan tell you, llele», things lrok elegant there. The carpets and curtains are re ally splendid, and the sofas and chairs are covered with damask of a beau tiful pattern. I havn’t seen anything so handsome for a long time ; ours look ed dingy enough when I came home. After a little pause ho added, “I know Johu Waters isn’t any better able to furnish his house in that style than 1 am j and the Brights and Bennetts, too, what rich and costly furniture they have! The truth is, HelSn, I don’t think you are quite ambitious enough about the appear of things. I have made money in my business the last live years, and we can really afford now to live more like other people. Dm’t you feel a lit* tic mortified sometimes when callers come ?” “Not at all, Edward, because I know everything is in good taolu aud nice or der j and as wo make no pretensions to elegance we are not ridiculous, if we are plain. But,” she said, laying her hand softly in her husband's, “I am am bitious of one thing, dear Edward ; it is to make a happy home for jgu and the children. If 1 fail here, I shall indeed be bitterly disappointed.” “O, Helen, certainly oflr home is ofic o' the dearest and best in the w hole wide world ; and I know it is your self denying industry and affection that makes it so No bis home better than I do, but,” ho added laugh ingly, “I do think it might be made a trifle happier by some Brussels carpet ing, and damask sofas and curtains.” “I d-m’t thiofc so,” said Helen, “and that is why I cling so fondly to this dear ola furniture; it is so bome-like, so full of charming and tender associations. Home might be made more stylish, more showy aud brilliaDt, but not more happy —l doubt that. How cold and cheerless that elegant parlor of the Ben nett’s looks, 7 It is too handsome to be us-'d, and the eh ait a sad even the very books and vases on the centre-ta ble, have a toueb-me not eompany look about them; aud instead of having & chocrful sitting-room, as they once had, they dow keep in that dingy diuing roorn, except when callers come; And I daro say, poor Jehu Waters won’t get half so comfortable naig iu that magtiif ioeut lounging chair, as he did in the old chintz covered one. No, l really believe their home happiness will be lessened, rather than increased by the change.” “I don't want things too good to u p; I confess that would be foolish. Bit 1 should use them, if they were bandsom ur.” “ Would you ? Just fancy yourself, you Lzy man, stretched out on one of superb crimscn damask sofas; you oould{/« do it comfortably to save your life, and you need not pretend you could,” Helen with a merry laugh. “Why, I don’t dare oven to put anew chintz-cover on this old sofa, lest you should feel a little out of place ” “Nothing but your economy, Helen, your awful economy. It has bet-a the making of me, I know ; and a poor mis erable fellow, I should have been but for yoar industry aud judicious com s-.-l; but we arc no longer poor, we Lava a good income, aud cun aflurd some luxu ries.” “So we can ; and I too want luxuries; hut what is a luxury, Edward ? Is it not a great luxury, to be C zy and com fortable, more than showy and elegaia 1 Is it n it a luxury to knuw that wc owe uo man anything; that we are laying by sometning every year for iho chil dren,” but then she said with a tender touc of voice, and a tear shoring iu her soft biue eye, “it is such a luxury to help those poorer thin we ? O! what a heart-satisfying pleasure it was to set tle the W oods on that liitlo farm last year, and to be able to cairy flannels, fuel and food to uiauy poor oick people. l>o let us lo.k at things as they are and not through other people’s eyes.— We do not want mire costly furniture for our enjoymeut, it is ODly that other people may admire it, aud what a poor g: atifieaiiou is that, compared with what other pleasures cau bring '■ Wjy it was only to-duy I was thinking it seemed almost wrong for us to be to fully grat> itying every taste aud wish when there was so much sufl ring iu the world, so many shivering wi h cold, so many lay ing on sick beds without the little com forts they need, aud above all, so many sunk iu vico and degradation, who per haps might be saved by the baud of charity held to iLeui. 0, Edward, those words of Joous about self-denial, must have some us who re fuse to bo his disoiples. Whou 1 look at things in this light, it docs sceni to me that if wo bad one cr two hundred dollars to expend, it might be belter in vested than iu furisi'ure. ’ “I believe you are right, Helen. — You always see the light more clearly than 1 do, Still it cauuot be wrong to indulge our tastes to some extont, aud to enjoy what is beaudful in nature aud art.” “To enjoy what is ready beautiful is a different thing from being merely fash ionable, from having costly dresses and furniture, which are oftener :n bad taste than good. Still Ido not believe we ought to bo self-indulgrnt even in these lines The poor and ignorant have a claim upon us, which should bo met b fore we gratify even our inno cence and laudable tastes. Don’t you think so ?” “Undoubtedly, but wbero arc wo to dra-v the line between a proper aud im proper indulgence of taste ? ’ *‘\Ve caunot draw it for others, but conscience, I think, is a safe guide for ouißems. If on the same day we see a beautiful picture and a poor, sick wid ow, suffering for want of nccessaiics, if we cau’t do both, I think conscience would tell ns to relieve the poor, suffer ing sister first; and, if we did, would not the thought of her, n.adc com'ortabie by our assistance, be a luxury to us, as as we lay down on our beds that night ? Should we not by that means obtain a beautiful, bright picture, to lie soft and warm io our hearts, thuugh we had none to bang ou the wall ? I should liko a wholo gallery of such pictures, Edward, aud we should Cud more enjoyment iu them than iu the Cucstcil paintings.” “But still, Ileleu, 1 believe Yu having pictures, both kinds if we can.” “So do I; for cultivating one's taste for art is sueh a diff-rent thiuj from getting upholstery. I do ready think there is something low and vulgar in making a display of fine furniture, and iu trying to be smarter than oar Deigh. fcors. It is in this love ot display that the essential vulgarity of Americans, so obvious to foreigners, consists, no other nation has so much of this foolish rt ! valrv, aud =c touch courting ofpopu’ar- Dy, end it is certainly very ridieu!"'J3 to sacrifice time, ease and money, as we do ‘ to outshine our neighbors. I am din gustsd with it, and long to have more simplicity yrevail among us—for sim plicity is, after all, the truest cleganoe.’ “Why, Helen, how you do comedown on a poor body ? You make mo out scifLh, unfeeling nnd unchristian, just because I want to smarten up a little; and as if all these Were not enough, you cap the climax by making me out vul gar too. And so I suppose I am to be compelled to live in tho old bund-nm, home way, looking as old fashioned as ' Time in the primer, because my little 1 wife always manages to get the better cf me in argument.” “Because your little wifo knows you aro quite as anxious to do right as shrj aod becauso your views and hots really coincide. 0, Edward, don’t think be cause I preach so much, that J consider uiyself better than others. I don’t live up to my theories, and every day I feel reproved, whon I Boe how courageous and cheerfully you go to your daily la bor, working hard from morning till night,and then coming home,so thought ful of me, so gentle and cheerful, if you are ever so tired, while Iso ofleu get impatient and irritable.” “And why am Iso cheerful ? Why oan 1 toil so faithfully ? Because I have sueh a blessed homo to come to, such a loving wife to labor for 1” Aud he drew the true and gentle wife beside him, and encircled her with an embrace as full of devotion and loa derness as ever lover gave bis mistress, while his eyes beamed with joy and pride as he gazed upon her sweet faee, blushingly up-turued to meet his gaze. * * * * * * A yrar hns passed away, nnd wo enter again the Lincoln’s parlor. It is little changed ; the same air of perfect neatness and comfort prevails; no showy damask curtains nor velvet so fas, nor tapestry carpets have been in troduced ; there are two choice pia turos added, nnd tho ait is fragrant with the breath of some rare flowers which uto blooming on a stand by the southern wiudow. Helen Lincoln is alone, and a shadow rests on her fair, matronly face, as if sad thoughts filled her mind as she eita and sews But it brightens as her husband's step is heard in the ball. • O, Helen’ be exclaimed, when ho had warmed himself by the bright open grate—“it is a great deni worse than I expected; everything is gone ; the stock is all under mortgage, so is the house arid furniture ; and vet the whole will he but a drop in the bucket; there ie no entl to the claims that come in ; yes, John Wa'ers is a ruined mun 1 — He can’t pay ten cents ou a dollar for what he owes.” “What will become of his family ?” said Helen. “Poor thjngs; they have been so litdo accustomed to any sor row or haidships ; they are ill fitted to encounter them." “Yes, that is true; and the cradit oj s seem to blame him for living so ex travagantly.” “But let us ho cbarilntde, Edward, they have but done as hundieds of oth ers have, and what every one, almost, praised them for doing at the time.— Are not all those whose words nnd ac tions go to make up a false standard of public sentiment to blame, as well as tho victim- of such false views?” “Yes, they ahe; and I do wish from the bottom of my heart, we might learn how to live—live uprightly, comforta bly, and simply, as sensible, honest men and women should.” “Amen ” 3uid Tlefen “And if ail wivefi were like) you, there would be le'Vef bankrupts, few er heartbroken wives and children, and -ewer defrauded creditors. It is the love of show that ruins many, the l living as Well as their neighbors, the j aping of those thoji fancy elevated above them in position, the running in i debt lof what does not make them any j happier—O, it is all miserable 1 miser ble 1” Holon was reminded of the' Conver sation of the year before, but liko the prudent wife, did not refer Io it It was not the first time she heard he r i husband giving her sentiments as his , own. The memory of it perhaps oc curred to dim for, he said j “Yon, Helen, havo been the bal ance wheel (hat kept me steady; with out you, my naturally hasty and ambi- j tious temperament would hate led me: into all kinds of excesses, I fear.” “Le* is thank God she replied, | “vithnilouf hearts, for enabling us : to resist temptation, and let us.he' thoughtful of those who have fallen j before it, more earnest than ever for strength from on high to guide and bless u».” Derry Mitcheil stabbed John Black shear to ihe hoiri in » quarrel on the B<l Bth negroes VOL.

Good Yield of Wheat. — We learn’ that a gentleman in this county, after Laving his wheat threshed and meas ured up, found that it had yielded 3f> bushels to the acre.— fEatonton Piese. Bo careful of your health, girls.— Don’t mind being called ‘old fogy’ be cause you wrap yourselves up well and never venture out in thin shoes. Bet ter bean old fogy than a young corpse, . It is suggested that those who are so cnthunasUc in spreading flowars on dead soldiers’ graves would do better to fur : nifh ft mr to living soldieTs or to the wives and children- of the dead heroes. Tiie CniNEsE Coming. —Tho agent of the St. Louis and Chicago Railroad, received a dispatch to-day, directing jbini to procure transportation to New Orleans for five thousand Chinamen, who are going on Southern plantations as.lahorer«.—[St. Lonis Telegraph. H®_ln the large orange grove oppo site I’alatka, there are several oraoger trees that havo fruit on them grown last | season, and a full crop of young oranges i about half grown. There is nothing at . all remarkable in this, but upon exam ining the trees more closely, we observ ed numberless blossoms, apparently two or three days old, that give promise of another yield, independent of tho two> already spoken of. —rahtlka (Fla) Her able Advertise.— Oh, advertise ;it has many fortunes made, and brought many obscure, desponding men to riches, fame and trade. Many a man, whose car riage rolls in splendor past your door, owes all he has to one faot, ho advertis ed his store. We can not tell what wo can do, until our sign is out, and ever ybody is made aware of what we aro about. So our advice is—advertise ! Don’t ’neath the bushel hide; bring out yonr light before the world, and let the bushel slide ! So says the Caostitution , and so say we. Arlhur P. Wright, E-q., says the Thomaav’llle Eut-rprise, planted last fall 100 acres of land in oata. Tho oold, he thinks, killed ono half the stand, and six acres of the field were old worn out soil covered with broomsedge, and Mr. Wright considers G 5 acres of tho land very fair. He has now harvested the crop and informs as that ho has housed 12000 bundles averaging in weight 3J pounds or 42000 pounds in round num bers. Multiply this by 75 cents the value of oafs per hundred in this mar ket, and Mr Wright male $3,150,00 on oa’s with an expense of less than $150,00. The Enterprise also rays Mr. AVright, has three-eights of an acre in Boyd's Prjliflo cotton which is about waist high and will average a hundred forms each stalk. Mean Men.— Henry Ward Beech er says oi mean men ; 1 1 have great hope of a wicked man; slender hope of a mean ono. A wicked mati tfiay be cuDVorfcd nnd become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be con verted 6ix or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start, arid put him on an equality with ahold wicked man.
