This verdict may affect the temper and disposition Of
Mr. to such extent that he may be brought
TO the recollection OF his sister in Ireland, and undry
nephews and neces in this country They may become
the subjects OF his in his last will and testament
Should he, however die intesate, the property by the
provisions Of Alexanders WILL cannot pass to these
phews and nieces OF Robert but before said must
to the children Of Alexander L. Stewart.
II will be seen, therefore. that friend Col Webb
can take either bird in hand, half a dozen in the
bush that is to say he have either $40 900 now,
cordng to the verdict about $500 900 in expectancy
Robert Stewart hereafter He will please to let
know possible which hoin OF this dilemma he
chooses and, in the time, he take horn OF
fresh Croton TO clear his nteects Tor the question
Our advice to friend Webb is to take the $4,000; for
looking at the whole OF this business, have the
strongest for beeping that Robert Se~art wiit
leave me hoie Of his property real and personal 10 his
nephew Lsrenerd Stepart, vsry amia5le young gentle
as the sole representative Of the Sewar family and 10
he vay oil future time This is the only mode o.
entailment permitted by our laws
The public will not fail to observe how accurate
ly the prophetic ntmaton contained in this para
graph has been fulfilled Webb rejected this ex
ceent advice; and now look at the consequences
Alas poor Webb, he never would hearken to ad
vice. and now, in his old age he reaps the fruits o
his refractory conduct. In every great step of hi
life he has knocked his head against the wall H,
belongs we fear TO that unfortunate class Of sill!
ones OF whom King Solomon said that even If bray
ed to pieces in mortar, their folly cannot be driver
out of them.
Lispenard Stewart has no notion of entering tn,

PoLrrENEss OF MEXICAN STAGE Rob-
BERs.-A gentleman, recently from the
city Of Mexico, gives us the particulars Of
an attack upon the stage and the subse
quent robbery of the passengers by body
of Mexican brigands.
Two stages left Mexico in the morning
for Publa. Few Of the passengers had
arms, and our informant. who was the on.
ly American, had but single pocket pis-
tol, and tina; was slowed away in his trunk
A guard of six Dragons accompanied the
stages. and all went on we'll until they
reached the pine woods in the vicinity OF
Rio Frio. Here some eighteen gentlemen
Of the road. who were dressed as rancho
ros suddenly appeared from behind small
grove, and discharged their carbines and
pistols at the guard. The latter. with the
single exception of the corporal, fled at the
first fire. The corporal charged in among
the robbers sword in hand, but receiv ed a
pistol ball in the neck, he too left the une-
quail conflict, and rode off as fast as his
horse would carry him.
The passengers of The two stages were
now politely requested by the captain of
the robbers to step out and undergo a
search. Their trunks were overloaded.
and all the money and valuables. together
with such articles Of clothing as the rob-
bers might chance to fancy, removed.
From our informant they took some three
hundred dollars in gold. and he says tina,
the robbers. IN good SET phrase, begged his
pardon for thus putting him TO the incon-
venience. One genllemanly scoundrel
said that it was with the creates: reIuc>
lance he thus LEVIED taxes; but hard times,
and the difficulty of obtaining an homes,
living any other way. induced him to his
present calling. He sincerely hoped tina,
our friend was rich man and had plenty
more where the present money came from,
and after politely raising his hat, turned to
search some other person. Alter COLLECTS
ing money and valuables, to the amour,
of some three thousand dollars, the rob
bers told the drivers of the stages thew
might proceed on their journey, and they
finally drove off amid the "udios. cabeUe
ros" ofthe bandits. The gentleman VIII,
gives US this account says he could no
bu' laugh at the easy but impudent polite
ness OF the robbers. although far from be.
ing pleased with the loss of his money.

Love OF NATURE.-lhere is peculiar
sweetness in the recollection Of those hours
which we have spent with friends OF kindred
spirit, amidst the beauties of created nature.
The Christian can alone find that congo nia'Ity
in associates, who not only possess hve'y
and cultivated sence Of the high beauty which
landscape scenery presents TO the eyes onI
who can also see creations God in every fea-
,nre of the prospect. The painter can initiate,
the poet describe, and the tourist talk with &C.
stacy of the sublime and beautiful objects
which constitute the scene before him. But
he can only be said to enjoy them Alright,
whose talents, taste and affections, are corse-
Grated to the glory of Him by whom "ail
things were made, and without whom was not
any .hing made that was made" When the
pencil that traces the rich and animated land
scapes Of the mountains, lakes, and trees, ~
guided by grateful heart as we'll as by
skiIful hand then the picture becomes no less
an acceptable offering to God. than it is a
source of we'll directed pleasure to the mind
of man. And when the poet, IN harmonious
numbers, makes hill and dale responsive 10
his song, happy is it. if his harp be lE unison
with the harp Of David. and If he can cali on
all created nature to join in one universal cho-
rus of gratitude and praise. The Christian
traveller pest enjoys scehes h"e '"ese' !" oS
cry wonder. he sees the hand that made it,
in every landscape. the bounty that adorns it;
jim rivers, fields, forests, the Providence that
ministers to the wants Of man i'm every sur
rounding object, he sees an emblem of his own
spiritual condition himself stranger and
pilgrim, journeying on through country Of
wonders and beauties: alternately invessiga-
ting, admiring, and praisng the work of his
Maker, and anticipating holy aud happy
eternity, to be spen. in the paridise Of God.
where the prospects are ever new. and the
landscapes never fade from his sight!
