TIIE (.HOST ROBBER. On an evening in the spiring of 1839, a stranger, mounted on a noble look ing horse, passed slowly over the snow- White stone road leading through the Black Forest. Just as the sun wag going to rest for the duy, when this gloomy shallows were beginning to stalk, he drew rviu ms he suid : ‘This must be near the spot, surely. I’ll stop here, anyhow, for u while, and see whai I can learn ’ He Uiereuptoc dismoun'ed and enter* ed the parlor of die inn, w here ho sat down beside a ernuli tubls ‘rlow can l serve you, meinheer?’ asked the landlord “See w> my horse on‘side,’ replied the guest cure bawdy, but ai the name time eyeing the Landlord fnun head to foot; ‘lot me have some wine, Rhine will do ’ The Innd’ord was turning to with draw lrorn the stranger’s presence, w hen he sopped anil said : ‘Which way, meiubeer, do you trav el V •To Namstadt,’! replied he. ‘i*«u will r. st hero to n’ght, I sup pose V con inued the landlord. ‘I will stay here for two or thres hours, hut 1 must then be off, so us to reach my destin tion there in tne morning. I am troing there to pur chase lumber lor the market ’ ‘And you have considerable money w jtn you no doubt V as-ed the land' lord innocent v. ‘Yes, considerable,’ replied the guest sipping rt his wmo disinterested- >y* , ‘Then if you’ll take my advice,’ said the landlord, 'you'll stay he e un il morning.’ Why ?’ asked the stranger, looking up curiitosiy. ‘Because I’ whisptered the landlord, looking around as if he were disclos ing a great secret, and was afraid of being heard ly somebody else, 'every man that passes over the road between tnis and N-nstadt for the last ten years, has been robbed or murdered under very singular cireums nnces.’ •What were the circumstances V asked the stranger, pntiing down his glass empty, and prepuiiug to fill it again. ‘Why, you see,’ tbe landlord went on, while he npipmacHed h's guest’s ta hie and took » sea’, *1 have spoken with several who have been robbed ; all I could learn from them is that they remember meet ng in the lonesome part of the wood, something that look id white and ghastly, and that flight eileil ll.i i, l.irooo ou that llier r..n away or threw their rid rs; they felt a choking sons aiou and a some king, and fiual y died, as they thought, but awoke in ttr. hour or so, to find them selves lying by the roadside tobbed of evctytliing ’ ‘lnd ed,' sai.l Ihc stranger, looking absttac ly at the rafter in the ceiling, as though I,e was more intent upon couut ng them than he interested in the landlord’s story. The innkeeper looked at hub in as tonishment Such perfect coolness lie had not witnessed for a long time. ‘You will remain then T suggested the landlord, after waiting some time lor his guest, to speak. ‘I !' cried the stranger, starting from his fit of abstraction, as though he w ns the pers n addressed. ‘Ob, most cer tainly not, I’m going straight ahead, ghost or no gt-nst, to night ’ Half an hour later, the stranger and a guide, called Wiithe in, were on the load going at a pretty round pace to ward Nanstadt. During ail .sh of lightning the stran ger observ ’d that his guide looked un easy about something, and was s'ack eniog his horse's pace as though be iu tended to drop behind. ’Lead on,’ said the stranger, 'don’t be atruid ' •I’m afraid I cannot,’ replied the person adlreesed, continuing to hold itis horse, until he was Dow at least a length behind his companion *Mv horse is cowardly, and unmanageable It you wi 1 on though, Ilbnk I can make linn follow close euough ‘o point out the road.’ J he stranger pu ied up instantly. A s'raitger light g earned iu hn eyes, •vln e his hand sought his breast pock e from which he d.ew something The guide saw the movemect and step ped back. ‘Guides should I. ad, nrt follow,’ said the stronger, quietly but wi h a firmness which set-med to-be exceed ingly unpleasant to the person address ed. ‘But’ Iu tered the ;uid-‘,'‘my horse won’t go,’ Won’t he?’ queried the stranger, with mock simplicity in his tone. '1 he guide heirrd a sharp click, and saw something gleam in his compan ion’s hand, lie seemed to understand perfect y, for he immediate y drove his spur’s into his horse’s flank and shot ahead of his companion' without an o tier word He no sooner reached bis old posi tion however, than the Stranger saw htni give a sharp turn to the rignt snd then disnftpear. ns thditgh hv had v:m isbed through the ft.fiage of the trees that shitted the road. He heard the clatter of hie hosee as he guUopid off. Without wu ting an other ins e»t, he touched hie burso bgbtiv widi the reins, gave him a priuk w ith the rowels, mod off the ra.ble *ui met started like the winds in the wake ot the flying goide. ■ ’t he strangts s norso being much su perior to tne other’s the ru» e w»s a short one, und termreatod by the guide being nearly thrown trom his Middle by a heavy hand which wan laid upon his bricbe, etoppiog him- He turned it trie rout, beheld the fuce,dark and lrowning, and trerablea violently, ns be felt the smoothe, Chid barrel of a pistol press ed Against his iffieek. ‘Ttiis cursed beast almost ran uway wish me,’ cried the guide composing hitn-eJf as well as he could under the circumstances ‘Yes, I know,’ said Ms companion drily, ‘but mark my words, vunttg man, if your fiorse plays such treks ag;*in, he’ll be the means of Beriou ly injuring ing his master’s health.’ Thv£ 'both turned and cantered baek to the road.’ W hen they reach 'd it again, aud turned the heads of their animals in the right direction, the rtraugcr said to his guide, in n tone winch must have convinced his heaher oflis earnestness : ‘Now friend Wilttiefm, I hope we understand eut h o her for tho rest of ourjiuHocy You are to conliutifc on abend of me, in the right roud without swerving either to the right or left. If I see you do anything su picious, I will drive a branch ot bullets tbrnugn you without a word of notice. N..w pu;s on The guide had started as directed, but it was evident from his muttering that he Was alarmed at something be side the action ot his follower In the mean time the thunder had increased in violence, and the flashes of ightning had become more frequeui and b iruing. For a while the two horsemen rode on in silence; the guide keeping up his directions to 'ho )e ter, while Ins follower watchiif his every movement, as a cat would a mouse Suddenly tbe guide stopped and 'oosed behind him. Again lie beard the click of the s ranger’s pistol and saw Lis up ifted arm. ‘Have mercy, meinheer,’ be groaned; ‘I dare not go on.’ ‘I give you three seer,nos to go on,’ replied the stranger, v .ry sternly— •One !’ •In heaven's rreino rpare,’ implored the gui'le, almost overpowered with fear; ‘look before me ia the road and you will not blame me ’ The stranger looked. At first he saw something white stand motion'ess in tbe center of tho road; but present ly a tiadi ol lightning iit up the scene, and he saw that white figure was then indeed glnstly and frightful enough looking to chill the blood in the vttin-i of even the bravest men li hi; blood chilled for a moment, .there fore, it was ni t through any fear that he feit for bis ghost y irtereepte'r, tor the next itistanl lie set his teeth hard, while tie whispered them just loud enough to be lieai and bv the tenor ranch en guide: ‘He it man or devil—ride it down— I’ll follow.’ ‘T wo 1’ \\ i.h a cry of despair u[«*u his lips, the gti'de urged the horse forward at the top ot his rpeed, quickly’ followed Irv the h'.runger, who held his pistol ready. In an icstaut the horse of ihe guide swept past the dreadful spot, and iu another instant the report of u pistol rang through the forest, and the oiVa'ti get heard a horse gallop ofi lhrou c h the woods riderless. Finding himself alone, the stranger drew his pistol, took deliberate aim at •he ghostly murderer, and pas ed his finger upon the trigger. ’i he appiration approached quickly hot iu no hostile attitude. The stran ger stayed his hand. At length tho ghost addressed him in a voice any thing but sepulchral : •Here, \V illhelm, yo neve out of your perch this minute aud give me a helping haul.

"Tinic, Failli, und Energy.” Arc the proverbial uondiuons of suo srss iu all industrial enterprises ; but in truth, although very essent, H so far as they go, they do nor g.-> far enough.— We must have an ordinary degree of judgement and forecast iu planning, and then work out plans with pa tience and steadiness. In the moral, inteljictual aud material world, all im portant results and conclusions are the iffeets of slow processes. The rulo holds good as a general thing, in the ac quisition of wealth. Merely to pile up money is, ind'-ad, but au ignoble and degraditg applica ble of the physical and intellectual powers, and leads to the most unhappy results. The man becomes mean, sor did, avaricious, and grasping, an 1 his hoard is often his misery and punisb tntnt. But the man wboj accumulates with praise worthy situs to tiroeelf, Lis family, and society—who E*eks money Dot as au end, bjt a means of useful ness aud enjoymeut, is doing well for himself and for humanity, if be seeks it by the ordinary processes of natural dg vcloproent and accumulation. Tne speculator, who dodges about hither aud thither, fitfully dipping like a swallow into tbe surface of the stream if business, and catchirg a stray waif as it floats by, may sometimes do well chough for himself, but he is accom- plishing nothing fer society. In fact, be is doing mischief by unsettling and and misleading mankind as far cs his influence goes. Attaining, by a single dash, results which the masses must achieve by long and steady application, bis example induqutctiug and ditsatis fying. So far as it becomes infectious, just so far trade is disordered and in dustry neglected, and as comparatively few can sptculate with safety to ihem solvs, the great mass of their imitators suffer ; »nd when the fever of specula tion tabes hold ot a comrnui ity it is cer tain to be as'disastrous as the corres ponding ictilidy in the pihysical system. It is followed by universal prostration and long bills of pecuniary mortality. Aud that steady, industrious and in telligent application aud development wLich is esseu'ial to the healthful life of trade, is quite as much so to agricul ture. There : s too much of the specula tive spirit in tho agriculture of Georgia. It is t<o much a thing of shifts, devices and expedients—conducted a good deal upon tbe belter-;k'lter principle, and far too little upon matured system, look ing to a permanent and steady develop ment. We say, without hesitation, that no young man need ask lor a fairer chance for a prosperous career than is opened to him iu Georgia agriculture, pursued with intelligent and patient industry.— Did we say cha nee? —it is no ehance, but a certainty under the ordinary al lotments, of Providence. Ho can put his fioger upon no other business in which success is not an excep'ion ; but in tins one, if ho will only apply himself with judgemoet, patience, industry and ecomomy, he is sure of comfort and competence by middle life. In the present price of lands there are few young men of character who cannot o*nimand the moderate means and ap plianooe for a start, though it may be in an humble way, and from thence, wiih energetic, enlightened and pa tient lab r, the road to competence is as straight and open as a turnpiko And while be is practically working out this problem, ho ia in tho very best coarse of physical, intellectual and moral train- irg He is qualifying himself for so cial usefulness He is making character and reputation. He is surrounding himself with all tho elements of happi noss. Wo wonder the young met) in Geor gia, instead of crowding our towns and filling subordinate positions in trade and professional pursuits, art not fired with the ambi'ion to build up homes and names as thriv'nx and prosperous farmers. Here the field is as bound less as it is inviting. There is no dans ger of overdoing tho business or being thrown oaf of a s.tuarrion.

Prom the Nashville Press and Times. A Dud with Rifles in Tennes see. From Overton county ootrea to us a BtraDge story, which we suppose has few parallels in tbe anuala of difficul ties settled after tbe code Tbe affair happened two weeks age. Where the bold spurs of a wild range deflect a tri fle as they cross the boundary line of Fentress aud Overton, lived for many years two families named Waldron and Jarvis. A feud had marred their in tercourse for time out of mind, until about a year ago, when the head of the last mentioned family died. Af ter the occurrenoc old troubles wcio ap parent buried, und a friendly intercourse was established. This continued lor months, add until oce of the Jarvises, a young min of twenty-two, while intoxi cated, made some tuecring remark about oco of the Waldrons, imp*cauhing his courage. Two days afier tho latter soot a friend to young Jarvis, that as be did net consider him a courageous man he might have tho pleat use of testing bis bravery with any weapon bo might chooce. YouDg Jarvis was too proud to retract the laoguage uttered while under the iLfluenceof liquor, and ho ac cordingly seot back word to the other that he would meet him four d.ivs from that time in what is known as the Hun where they could settle the matter with rith's at one hundred and fifty yards.— B itb men had been iD tbe rebel army, and were accounted splendid tiurks men. It was a damp, cold, dreary morning that tho two young men, each accompa nied by a fiiei and, took tleir way to the Hun. A drixzly rain had fallen for home, and tbe scene through the val ley and out over the surrounding hills with tboir wodden sides, was dismal wito clinging mist and pattering rain. The seconds paced off the distanoe, the two moo wero placed with their baaks towards each other, and the pieces loaded, and to the shout one, two, three given by one of tha seconds, they turn ed nt.il fired. Jarvis was wounded through the fleshy part of tho left arm, while his bullet whistled savagely just abovo bis ant igenist’s head. “Ate you sati.-fiod,’ said the wounded man’s sec ond to tho other’s friend. “Waldron wauts another shot,’ was tbe reply. Astern, savage smile lighted up the features of young Jarrie, as bis arm was hound up lo staunch tho blood, but ho paid not a word. Tbo rifles were loaded again, and onoo more to tho shouted signal tho two men wheeled and fired. The reports wore almost si multancous. Waldron ran forward a few steps, staggered, reeled, add fell iu to tho arms rs bis friend, b'cediiig aud senseless. He was shot through the heart Jarvis went slowly home, sad dled his horse, and, telling his family that he was going to M'.uticello, left the country. A Yankee Boy. A tourist tells tbe following s’ory : We recently met eur friend, Dr. Lord, formerly of Boston, he has been s resi dent of this section for about six years. During the first few years he was ex tensively engaged in baying wool, and one one occasion becoming bewildered »hh tho multiplicity of crook ning roads over the broad prairies, bo rode S up to a small cabin inclosed in a clump ' of locust trees, and hailed a whitehead- i ed boy perched on the top nf a hen coop with, “H .lloa, boy I” “l reckon aro a straDgor,’ was tho response. ‘Look here, sonny.’ ‘I ain't your sonny.’ ‘No, not my sonny, hut if yon will jump down and come here, I’ll give you a dime.’ The b*y spiung as if a lighting from a wasp’s nest, and cotniDg up to the stranger, exclaimed : •Well, old hoes, what is it ?' ‘l’ve lost mv way, and don’t know where I atq. Can you tell mo?’ ‘Yes, you’re on that htrse !’ Mr. L >rd laughed at tbe boy’s wit, and handed him a dime. Tho boy took tbe money, looking upon it wkb mingle feeling* us wond'r and delight, and said, ‘1 reckon you must have a power o» money I’ * ‘Why so!’ ‘Cause yu slather it away so,’ ‘What’s your fathrr’u namo ? inquir ed Mr Lord. ‘Bill Jenk was (lie reply.
