mend us, I repeat, to the age or
Cause that had in dual combin

head, upheld by such colleagues,
and i for one will doff cap and
admit that others have had as
worthy cause. Be that as it
may, can any Cause ty such sup

one I tay you nay.
If a people are to be judged
by its heroes, or cause gautred
by its chief supporters, as God
be praised, the standard is, who
that cast their lot with such or
who from them shall ever spring,
need ever blush that theirs was
the losing side ?
If success was aimed at, most
lucky were Ave in the choice of
chief. Had we not had that
most rare combination of patri

combat would have been s) long

other who co aid have filled his

By military critics it is ad

of Jackson's column upon Mc

We hold that it originated with

him whom amidst a people's la

i:ulxu. Cne of our exchanges says
there are good newspapers and
bad newspapers; honest and dis
honest newspapers ; newspapers
with principle and newspapers
quite void of principle. If we
t- re not mistaken, the newspaper
reading public knows this -nd
and exercises its discrimination
accordingly. There are also
tricky merchants 8 s well as up
right merchants; shyster law
yers as well as honorable law
yers ; hypocritical preachers as
well as sincere, preachers ; cor
rupt legislators as well as hon
est statesmen. Is it fair to de
nounce these professions be
cause certain members disgrace
them ? The public does not do
thi3. It observes carefully the
character of its merchants and
professional men, and giyes its
support to those with a good re
cord.

e.all have Lad so many suc
cessive bad crops until xe feel
quite uucertam-a9 to what we
aregoin, to do. It reminds us
of a fellow who was going alony
the loan and saw a biid way
over in the field; He had his
gun, o he thought lie would
ehoot. He had ns idea he was
gaing to hit, and sura enough he
didn't Talk about hacrd times
and hard luck? bhi I saw a man
the other day who gave in his
exf enencH, ana it was pretty
bad. But wh all become recon
ciled to our lots. .But with all,
we gain a littl pleasure from
even the most bitter and gloomy
appects of life. Ha said: "Hard
times, I have got it and had it,
I am too pocr to stay here and
haint got nough to get . away,
and I doh'tr know any better

two bales ot .eobtem' and it. took

and I had to sell the seed, for
the lace-and hanging audTties
and beg 'Som few little things
for dmHtimis . . 1 anadc abont
twenty-five .barrels of corn., I
fed all that to my hogs, and
when it rained the other day 1
thought it wasgoiug to be cold,
so I killed them so as to save a
little to go V.to mill. with. But
it turned warm again and all
my meat spoilt. There was not
much pickings in iLy field and
my old cow was reaching after
a few reeds along the ditch bank
arid fell in, and I see. the buz
zards flying away with her every
d?y, and the first march wind
that blows 1 expect it will stick
the calf against u box-faco. and
he; will blait himself to death.
Wejl, I thought my home was
all . right, but a. party of rail
road men came, sweeping along
and told mef my house was on
their land and if t.dld not move
it oflj.they were "going to lake it,
and tt hen, the constable came
and sold what furniture I had
