C. D. PART I will live, and die with this testi- that I loved good studies and good conscience; that I never in vaded another, man's liberty, and that preserved my own. I. will govern my life, and my if the whclevworld were to ee the one and read the other; for what does it signify to make any thing secret to my neighbor, when, to God.

who is the searoher cf our hearts our privaoies are open? Nor does vh A m. ruwaweupon tne up or the-tongue, but in the temple of a purified heart. it is ostentation, not virtue, when a man will have his good deeds publish ed, and it is not good to be first Where honor is to be obtained, but to be vir tuous iu defiance of Infamy and uanger. Virtue cannot be hid, immortal glory is the shadow ofit, and keeps it company whether we i' will or will not. I know it is my duty to be content in all but yet if it were at my election, I should'1 choose the fairest.

Wealth, honor, and fayot, may comw upon a man by chance, nay be cast him without so much as looking after them; but Virtue is the work of Industry and labor. There is not-any duty which Provi dence hasnot auneieJ a blessing, nor auy institution of 'Heaven whichj even in this life, we may not be enjoyed, 1 Iu all our undertakings let first examine our own strength; the en terprise next; and thirdly, the persons with whom we have to do. We are all slaves to fortune I will remember always that I am a man, and then consider, that if I am happy it will not last always; if not happy, I my be bappy if I please, He that would be happy must neither trust to good fortune nor submit to bad; he must stand upon his guard against all assaults; he must stick to himself, without any, depend euce upon the people. He that should pretend to teach a a mad inau how speak, walk and behave himself, were not he the mad der man of the two? We do nol find felicity in the veins of the earth, where we 'dig for gold nor in the bottom of the' sea; where we fish for pearl; but in a pure and Uutalnted mind, which' if it were not were not fit to entertain the Deity. He that Would be truly happy must think his own lot best, and so live with mau, as considering that God se him, and so speak to Uod as if man heard him.

A good conscience is the testimony of a good life, aud the reward ofit. I am strangely transported with th though of eternity; nay with tho be lief of it; for 1 have profound venera tion for the opinions of great men especially when they promise things so much to satisfaction. The body is but tbe clog and the prisoner of the mind. It is dangerous for a man too sud denly; or too easily, to believe him Oh the tranquility, liberty, and tue greatness ot mat mmu mat is spy upon tself. The decrease of the national debt in March amounted to $433,000.

Qeneral Graut is improving, bat tbe tenor of the dispatches from New York indicates that the im proyemeat is only temporary and that the day of dissolution is not far distant. Rell is the leader of the rebels of VYinnepeg.

The office seekers do all the talking, a The Ford Cattle company, twelve miles west of Dodge City, a year ago lost 200 cattle out of 900.

Anril. 15th." -r 7 1 A city is very much like an individ ual. To be flourishing it must have energy and enterprise. The people in the city 'should labor for its prosperity. They should remember that their individual prosperity' depends to a large degree upon the character of the place In which their business is located.1 Every public measure should be liberally supported by all; especially the business men.

At the present day there is as much compe-j tition between cities as there is among persons of similar business 'v enterprises. A man seeking a location will invariably select a city that is up to the times and tnose in favor of so much opposition, can't afford to be peopled with old 'fogies of "autedeluvian fossils" who are continually kicking' at every enterprise. To make a floarish-' iug and business cityuyou must' bef lieve in its future aud then work for it. Encourage every 'Improvement help every enterprise. Offer inducements to' persons looking for a location.

Sjsttn Jcurr.zL Tampa, April 14, ISSo. Editor Stan After a long delay, I again com municate with you from Southland, My wife and I have spent a most de-ligbful winter here, Winter I scarcely realize that it hasbeen winter. Fruits and vegetables constant-ly and flowers never out of sight from December until May. I like Florida far several reasons: It has a healthful as well 'as a most delightful climate; it has 'spring-time? thelyear round, so far as seed lime is concerned, aad gardens- may be planted every day in tha year and iheir products harvested every day To-3ay I hadsome fine straw berrlesV and in fact, I have had strawberries since January 1st.

How pleasant it is to be where breezes blow iver the clear, blue of the gulf, or across the bmid Atlantic wnere 'the philly north vlnd is tenipered by the warmth of that mighty mid-ocean river, that takes its rise on the far-off coast of Africa and from Continent to Continent flows on, wrapping, as It were, the entire oast of Florida- from north to southand from Cape Sable to St: Augu9tirfe with eternal trimmer. Here we are within twenty miles of the warm waters of the ulf stream; and but for that'Florida would'be ho nearer perpetual summer than' Texas. Here you find the orange, the pine-ap ple, the bahanna.cocoanvt, and many othei tropical, as well as semi-tropical fruits, growing as much in their na tive soil as corn in 'Kansas or "democrats in. Kentucky." I like Florida because it is a lazy man's country. All that is necessary for oue's subsis-tance grovs almost without an effort.

Plant, and nature will do the tilling, and I must sav that Fioredians ob serve to the letter the laws of nature iu regard to tilling the soil. One third the effort will give a man a com peteuce here that it takes to make a living in Kansas, and Kansas beats 'em all, you know. I am not go ine to tell you any very big stories of what we -raise 1 ere, but actually, I saw a beet today as long as my foot don't that settle it. Sweet potatoes grow frqm year to year, and I saw castor beans foui years olu that measured ten inches in diameter and hat were twenty feet in height. Bishahd game are plenty, and oy aters, well! You go out in a boat at low tide and gather them.

My first thought on an oyster trip Wfts salt, in case I ate any raff. But uo French coot can salt an oyster nearer to the taste than the "brfny deep" can do it. And as far as eating them out of the shell it kills the oyster to shell hi in, you know 1 read wth pleasure the Wolf Tracks in the Qfar, and was sorry to hear of "Bob's" beiug so far away. But, seriously, I think Bob had bet ter save up some of his Saginaw coid weather for Elk City, if he, expects to promenade there next July clad in his "wolfskin." Wasn't it hot, though, Bob? Saginaw beats drumming the lumber trade in Chicago, just tbe same, uwu i muuti spent a week or more down on tbe coast fishing, bunting and gather ing shells, and on the memorable 4th of March we killed an American I a a Eagle which measured six feef and two inches from tip to tjp. that reminds me, that if the usore; head-politicians" of the' north, and the horse tljief ex-Coiifejlerates who have left the south, because they were to mean to stay it, were sent to some sand island to feed on clams, it would make but little jliffereuce whether we had a democratic or republican presi dent.

I respect tbe southerner in hb honest views, and I find that southern manhood is -not represented at the north by croakers for "Jeff Da There are sections in the south where the Negro is not fully protected in his rights, because the law is vio lated by dishonest men and the viola tion concealed by the same type of men in power; but until the north can enact and enforce laws that will lift the load from the oppressed poor of their own color, they had best not call all southland Klu Kluk, for I think a white man Is as good as a Negro- if he beLaves himself." For fear I might say something naughty, however, I will close this ramble iu tbe bushes and proceed to shut down tbe lid. We will start far home about April loth. Ed.
