Tun word tic Is too firmly bedded
in our langungo, nnd belief In tho fact
expressed by it Is too strong to Justify
an expectation that it will soon become
obsolete. Luck is an event good or bad,
which befalls a man Independently of
his own volition. If n mini work all
day for flvo dollars, his wages Is not
considered luck. But If ho flnds five
dollars In tho road, that Is Inck.
If a man alms at nil accommodation
tiuln, but lilts nn expross train, which
has been delayed n llttio In luck, no
has secured what ho tlid not plan for.
If tho last boat of tho season leaves Al
bany for Now York a day sooner than
thOBhlppor had calculated, and ho loses
an opportunity of sending his freight,
ho oxclalms "that Is Just my luck."
Of tho fact Itself thero can bo no doubt.
Many disappointments bcAill men
which scorn to havo no relation lo their
own agency. Many places of good for
tuno occur which the recipient did not
plnn, or look for.
1 lit thocausoofliick, thus defined, Is
another thing. If wo could look into
mt n's minds and render clear thoso ob
scuro nnd nebulous thoughts that hov
er there, It would bo found probably,
that very different notions nro enter
tained about It. Somobcliovo thnt thero
nre spirits, or sprites, whoso power in
tercalates these events upon tho calen
dar of Nature. Others i:ccin to believe
that In the vast realm of Nature events
are floating about liko motes in sun-1
bcams.nnd thnt men accidentally stum
ble upon them. Somo pcoplo believo
It to bo n crook In the grain of 'things,
some men being born and destined to
fulfil some mischievous decrees.
"Do what they will, they can nover es
cape Ill-luck." Were somo men's no
tions analyser!, I should not wonder If
it wero found they still believo Luck to
bo a personal being, as Puck, or Ariel
who spent thoir tlmo in playing tricks
upon men, good or bad, according to
their peculiar fancy.
But dismissing ail theso notions, thero
aro several pieces of general good or III
luck, which havo much to do with tho
special luck, that bofalls men. I count
it a pieco of primo and admirable luck
to bo born of parents who had sound
physical constitutions, nmplo brains,
w.ell proportioned and balanced, living
in moderately prosperous circumstances.
Next to this is to be brought up in sim
plicity, among peoplo kind nnd Just,
and under circumstances which require
ono to exert himself actively, so that
ho shall never expect to have anything
which lie does not himself earn. Lastly,
f viXjs ,o.n.7rn:!i-nr-nC p.iiiinil'ifaiuiu

Tills Inst quality-good nnturo-is per
haps the most deslrablo of all, in so far
as happiness Is eoncerned. Every 0110
knows that it is sugar in fruit thnt gives
it its palntableness, and that, converts
its Juices into wlno. Good nature Is to
human dispositions what sugar Is to
grapes.
A robust an d cheerful nnturo hardly
know3 tho dlfferonco bctweon good and
bad luck. Bomo things, which extort
piteous complaints of bad luck from ills
neighbors, befall him without exciting
more than a moment's attention jiiit
as 11 healthy man does not feci n chilly
gust which Pels nn Invalid into shivers.
Ill luel: in petty nflrilrs is only anoth
er nam e for wnnt or foresight, unsklll
fulnesM, poor judgment, elumsy-hand-edncss,
lack or spring and enterprise.
Tew men are willing to say thnt their
own blunders, ncgntlvoor positive, re
turn upon their own lictitls. Luck to
llicm is a rortunato work. Lucl: Is a
word that hides a man's inelllcicncy
rrom himself, and saves his pride.
Everyone of us has lucky and un
lucky dnys. Too much excitement,
Into hours, Into eating, poor shop, and
too littlo of it, bring on mornings full
of depression blue days in which ev
erybody and everything seem wrong.
Everything our hand touches fails.
This is a simple case in which respecta
ble dissipation has put tho whole in
strument by which man works, ills
brain nml nervous system, out of ad
justment. Ills mistakes aro no moro
surprising than would bo n mechanic's
who worked by a falo rule, or n chem

By and by, rest, diet, and good habits

11 sparkling day of good luck. Half
tho labor produces twico tlio ordinary
results. Wo meet tlio very person wo

In olden times, when necromancers
would fill tho air with spirits, they had
potent spells, cabalistic formula, and
various charms by which to evoko and
cuntrolovll spirits. Thero Is a much
shorter and nurer way than all that to
1111 heaven and earth with demons. But
your liver out of order. That is a spell
that never falls. Dyspepsia will raise

A good man, iu good heal 111, engaged

Poor luck goes with slender Judgment,

Tlio last Itclicl On Ira go-A Hnill
cal "Sell."
The richest tiling out in tho slinpo of
a "soil" thnt litis been henrd of slnco
"all fools' day" has lately been perpo
tnited on tho Radicals. In tho local col
umns of Eako's Bulletin, published in
Galveston, Texas, the following Item
appeared a few days tlnett :
"A cargo of Coolies recently arrived in
this city, consigned to merchants by or
dinary bills of lading ns morchandiso,
and aro announced to bo sold nt auction
to pay freight and ciiargcs. Two-thirds
of tho cargo aro fcmnlcs."
Tho Philadelphia North American,
Forney's I'resi, and other truly loynl
Journals wero straightway thrown Into
ft spasm of excitcmont. Thoy painted
glowing pictures of tho horrors of this
sale. Tho fcmnlcs wero represented to
bo beautirui, nnd tho Icrriblo fato in
storo for them was dwelt upon In terms
calculated to oxclto iho dullest imagina
tion. Congressional intervention was
loudly demanded, and tho President
was reminded thnt tho "fourteenth
amendment" provided for theso "help
less creatures." Ho was called upon to
visit tho vengeance or tho offended ma
jesty ofthovlolnted lawupon tho Texan
barbarians. Tho remarks or tlio North
American wcroln tlio following rervent
strain :
"This Is chattel slavery. Theso Chi
neso wero put upon an ordinary bill or
lading like ro many chests of tea, and
freight was charged upon them as upon
all kinds or goods. Tlio worst reature
In tho ufTair is that two-thirds or these
unhappy Chinese) tiro remnles, somo
or them beautiful. Of course thoy aro
bought in Chinaon spcctilntlonand sent
to Toxns to seek a market, Just as tho
Baiiio kind of live stock of a different
raco used to bo sent to New Orleans.
Tills development is nothing now in re
gard to tlio Chineso coolio trade, except
in so far ns tho importation or women
goes. That is a novelty.
"Wo trust that, our brethren or tho
presswill have no hcsitnlou in denoun
cing tho movement in tho tewns it do
serves, nnd in demanding redress rrom
tho national authorities, since it is only
by constant vigilancethat wo can coun
teract tlio efforts or these (-outliern com
munities to sneak back again into sla
very by somo under hand way."
Having enjoyed the effect or his Joke,
tholocal editor or tho Bulletin announc
ed that tho Coolies In question wero
"cast-iron figures, designed as signsfor
cigar, tobacco, tea, and grocery stores."
Wo believe not one ofthe Radical jour
nals which went into spa-ins over the
supposed outrage has yet informed its
readers how it came to bo sold so badly,
to pass a law nt tlio present session to
protect Radical newspapers from being
gulled by rebel reporters.
An Avt Iv'.v;ul ililstalic.
An ofllco seeker, travelling in Toxns,
011 an electioneering trip, tolls u bit of
his cxperi enco as followo :
"Well I put up with a flrst-rato good
natured rcltow that I met at a billiard
table. I went in and was introduced to
his wife, a fine, fat woman looked as
though alio lived on biffin', her face was
so full of fun. After awhile, in comes
three or four children Iaughln' nnd skip
ping as merry as crickets. Thero was
no candlo lit, but I started for my sad-
dlo-bags, In which I put n lot of sugar
candy for tho children as I wont ulong.
"Como hero," sai.1 I, "you littlo
rogue, and tell mo what your namo is."
Tho oldest ono came to 1110 and said :
"my name's Peter Smith."
"And what's your namoV"
"Bob Smith."
The next said his namo win Bill
Smith, and tho fourth said his nnnio
was Tummy Smith. I gave 'em sugar
candy, anil Mrs. Smith was so tickled
t
lmt sho laughed all tho time. Mr.
Smith looked on, but did'ntsay much.
Why," says I, "Mrs. Smith, I would
not take a good deal for them four boys,
If I hud 'cm ; they nre so beautiful and
uprightly."
lNo," said she, lalnii,' "J set a good
deal on 'cm, but we spoil 'em too
much."
'No, no," says I, "they're rale well
behaved children, and by giaclous,"
says I, pretending 10 uo siarueu uy a
striking resemblance between Iho boys
and tlio father, I looked at Mr. Smitn.
I never dlJ seo anything equal to it,"
savs I. "your own eyes, mouth, fro
head, and perfect picturo of hair, sir."
tiiPDinif Jho oldest on the pate
thought Mrs. Smith would havo died a
laftln' at that, her aims fell down nt
her side, nnd she shook tho wholo house,
sho was so well pleased.
'Do you think so Col. Jones," said
she, lookitig towards Mr. Smith, and I
thought sho'd go off In u fit.
"Yes." says I, "I do raolly."
"Ha, ha, haw I" saya Mr. Smith, kind
o' half lafiln', "you'ro too hard on mo
now, with your joke."
"I ain't Joking at nil," nays 1, "they
aro handsomo children, and do look
wonderfully liko you."
Jut then a gal brought a light in and
I'll bo darned if tho littlo brats illd'nt
turn out to bo niggers every ono of
them I and their hair was as curly us
tlio blackest nleger'st Mr. nnd Mrs.
Smith never bad any, nnd they bort of
petted them niggers as playthings.
I never felt us streaked as I did when
I found out how things stood. If I
hnd'nt kissed tho unsty things I could
havo got over it ;.but kissing 'em show
cd that I was In earnest. Though
was soft soaping 'em nil tho while, how
to ect over tho crnpt I dld'nt hnow
Mrs. Smith laugheil so hard when sho
snw how confused I was that sli almost
suffocated.
A littlo whilo afterwards, there- wnsu
wholo family of relations arrived from
tho city, and turned tho matter oil; hut
tho next morning l coum tee thut -Mr,
Smith did not liko tho remembrance of
what I said, and I don't believo lie'l

A rrightfnl Tale.
A prlvato letter rtcclvod from near
ByhnllA, Mississippi, yesterday, con
tained n few particulars of a horrid
nffulr brought to light ft fow dnys ngo.
Tom SHU, 'a colored man employed
ns a forcmnii on Mrs. Branson's planta
tions, lived' with his wife, sovcral hun
dred yards from Mrs. B.'s residence. A
negro, known ns Edmond Tuntsall.wns
11 frequent visitor, and It had long been
suspected by Still thnt Improper rela
tions existed between his wife nntl thn
pretended friend. It was evident Hint
Mrs. Still was mnch moro interested in
Edmond thnn her husband, and the 1st
tor not lmvlqg thu courage to confront
tho destroyer of his peace 'th his sin
plcions, simply sought to p toet him-
Bcirngfilnst any effort to pi" him out of
tho way. Ono morning last wool:. Still
was missing rrom tho plantation. Mrs.
Bronsnn's Inquiries elicited from Mrs.
Still that ho wont ont to fco.l some hofi
on another portion or the plaeo tho
night bamro, and had not sinco been
hoard or. Mrs. Bronson doubted tho
story on its own merits, and the ovident
confusion oftho woman, added to what
was already known or tho situation of
affairs, caused her to suspect foul play.
Several servants wero summoned, nntl
a search was instituted After two or
threo hours spent fruitlessly In different
portions or tho plantation, a member or
tho party wasattracted by tliopresenco
or somo fresh earth at tlio head of a ra
vin about fifty yards fiom Still's cabin.
In a moment tlio startling dlgcovery
was mado or somo onc'a knees protrud
ing. Thofresh, looso earth was hastily
removed, and Still's remains, horribly
mntilatcd, wero dragged out on tho

A Sinciulau Incident.- Our atten
tion lias been directed to thu following
singular Incident oftho lato war, which
is ns remarkably strange as it is said to
bo true : A correspondent or a southern
journal writes: "There was a man of
Company A, Tweiity-suveiith Norlh
Carolina troops, named George P. PI
ner, who went into the fight with a
small Testament in ills pocket. A ball
struck the book uud penetrated as Air as
tho chapter or Matthew, 21st nnd 22nd
verses. It merely blackened that pas
sage, glanced off, nnd left the man un
injured. The verses read : ' Yo havo
heard thnt It was said of them or old
tlmo, Thou sh ilt not kill, and whoever
shall kill shall bo in danger of tlio
Judgment, and whoever is nngry witli
bis brother without Just cause, 6hn.il bo
n danger or Judgment.' Tho man said
that Yankco ball was liko tho dovll ; it
hud to turn Its courso when met by
crlptund opposition.' "

nnd emollient agents that can bo em-
loyed in wuuhing cither tho person, or

firet, It may bo procured In tho form
or crystals at any druggist's, and Mil

A Hint to Plowmkn.-A. C. Thorn
as), or Wisconsin says in tno nmmi
iitiriif. that if you wish to plow a hinn
ten rods wide, Instead or btrlklng out ft
land that width, tako onc-huir tiiai
width, pneootr five rods from the end
and bet In your plow and plow to with
in ftvo rods of tho other 1 l ami stop j
now bnck harrow as ujui . :ho require!
width nnd then turn a sq uo corner ut
the end, observing to hnv tho end fiuv
row on a parallel lino wllh tho outside.
By tills means you will always turn
arouud on tlio stubble, thus ieiivlngUio
land untrodden, and instead of deail
furrows' at tho corner you will lino
'ridges,'"
