were three match races yesterday on the Union

in which Mr.. Lynch's FLY Ariel, three years old,
and DR.. Wyche's colt La Fsyeite, of the same age
were competitors, took place at IL, the heats, as
in the FIRST match, being one mile. This match ex-
cited great interest betting very heavy: long odds

more dreadful would be their power could they SEN
tence them to life Life is the gao'cr Of the soul
in this filthy prison, and its own deverer is death
what call life is journey to death, and what
we call death is passpor, to life. True wisdom
thanks death for what he takes, and still more for
what he brings. Let US, therefore, like sendnels,
be ready, because We are uncertain, and calm, be-
cause we are prepared. There is nothing formida

these we ourselves can regulate and control. The
shortest life is long enough fiji lead better, and
the longest is too short if it do not.
