ANECUGTE OF l.

Wirt's lifeof Patrick Henry is generally
considered far too cxtravagant in its laud-
alton of that truly great man. Il is indeed
doubtful whether the man wei lived to
whom such swelling P~ancgyric could be
Justly applied, rs Writ continually resorts
to in depictingthc charactcro of Henry.
In illustration Of that trait Of the author
referred tc, we will relate an anecdote cur
rentin Eastern Virginia, and said 10 be
true to the letter:
Writ was oncc engaged in the rial of a
cause, in which enc of the most rat"rial
witnesses On the other side was notorious
fer his guliilility. BY way of showing up
this trait in the witness, and thus impairing
his testimony, Writ asked him if he had
ever read liiicy's Narrative, and if so,
whether he thought it was true. "Oh ycs,''
sand the witness, "l've read it, and / be-
lievt every word of it!n' Tie counsel on
the other side perceiving the advantage
gained by his opponent, here intcrposed the
question: "Did you ever read Wnt's life of
Henry, and if SO, do you believe it truc?"
'ihave rcadit,' replied the simple witness,
"butl can't say i believe it; no, no, that's
more than | can swallow!!' Writ was cs-
sentialiy iioored.

FRAGMENT,

To enter this world without a. welcome;
TO leave it without an adieu; to suffer and
be unequal to your sufferings; to stand sad
silent monument amid the joys of others,
which you cannot understand nor conceive
of; to carry within your bosom the buried
seeds Of happiness which are never to grow,
Of Intelligence which is never to burst forth,
or usefulness which is never to terminate;
to find even your presence affective, and
know not whether you excite compassion or
horror; a whole existence. without one
cheering sound without ole. celebrating
thought: without one recollection of the
past; without one hope of the future-oh!
what a cloud of wretchednes covers, sur
rounds and overwhelms such a deplora-
bic victim of sorrow. Now to throw over
such abenighted being, the sweet rays ofin-
triiigence; TO open the intellect, and let it
nush forth to streams Of light and Joy to
rouse the affections, that they may know and
love God, the giver Of all things, and mer-
cilul in all his attachments; to enlighten the
soul that itmay see its origin and destiny;
to cause the lips TO smile, though they
cannot speak; the eye to glistcn with other
emotions than those of sorrow; and the
mind to understand, although it cannot hear;
oh! what a beautiful supplement to the be-
Of heaven.-[Lowell Offering.

f AT MURDER.

On the night of the 10th inst, two bur-
glars entered the store Of Mr.. Recdon, near
Cincinnati. Hearing the noise Mr.. r. took
a "revolvcr," and accompanied by his neph-
ew, went down stairs. On reaching the
store, Mr.. b. discovered two men with
lights, and Immediately fired two shots,
which were returned, one of them breaking
his left arm. In the confusion the lights
went out, and before assistance came a per-
sonal r~encounter took place between Mr..
.Reedop and one OF the robbers. Injured
and unable to resist much, he fought with
desperation, knowing that help was near,
and that lis only chance for life was in a
prolonged resistance. In the scuiiie Mr..
X. was thrown, but passing his knife to the
righthand inflicted a severe and it is thought
a fatal wound on his adversary. At this
time, Mr.. Simon, the young man came to
the rescue, and knocked the villain down:
when, strange to say, the otEer ro5ber, vile
had fed, returned to his assistance ano
both got off. Tho whole 1Fa;rw a over il

SUCCESS.
JosrrH :. klyG.

The most important element of success is
economy-cconomy Of money and econo-
my of tiIse. BY economy we do not mean
righteousness, but merely such wholesome
thrift as will discipline US te spend our time
or money with an adequate return either of
gain or enjoyment Aneconomical applica-
ton OF time brings leisure andmcthod. and
enables us TO drive our business instead of
our business driving us. There is nothing
attended with results 50 disastrous as such
4 characterization OF or time and means as
will involve Us in pcrpetual hurry and diff
Guilty. The brightest talents must be inef-
~fcctual under such a pressure, and a life of
cxpcdicntS has no end but penury. World
.ly success, however, though universally
coveted, can be only desirable inSo far as
ii contributes to happiness, and it will con-
tribute to happiness very little, unless there
be cultivated 4 lively bencvolcncc to
every animrtcd being. Happiness,it has
.Lccr finely observed, is in the proportion Of
the number If things we love, and the num-
Der Of things that love ms, To this senti-
ment we most cordially subscribe, and we
should wish 70 see it written OH the tablets
Of every heart, and producing its fruits of
charity. The man, whatever be his fame
or fortune, or intelligence, who can treat
lightly another's wo-wllo is not bound TO
lis feliow-man by the magic tie of sympa-
thy, deserves, ay, and will obtain the con-
tempt of human kind. Upon him all the
gifts of fortune are thrown away. IIappi-
ness he has none. His life is IA dream, a
mere lethargy, without a human throb Of c.
motion; and he will descend to the grave
'unwept, ]unlIonored, and unsung.' Such a
fate is not to be coveted; and lot those who
are intent upon success, remember thatsuc-
cess is nothing without happiness.

From the following it will be seen that
the Wings are in a rapid decline in Conncc-
ticut:
Returns from all the State but seven towns
stand
Bissell, w. TouceJ, D. Scattering.
25,S35, 25,I33, l,75S
Bissell's plurality thus far 1902. The
towns to be heard from, if they 20 rs last
year, would decrease it to 659. The Dem
ocrats have 10 Senators, and the Wings 9.
and two districts vet 10 !r"ar from, and one
extremely doubtful.
The House of Representatives, as far as
heard from, stands 80 Democrats, 10 VS..
40 vacancies. The townst to hear from, last
ycsr, sen; five Wings and there were two
vacancies. Of the 40 counties that have
not elected, 90 lavc given Wing maioriticS
for Governor, 10 Democratic, and > not
heard from. The result is very doubtful.
An extra from the Hartford Times, and
the statement of the Journal of Commerce,
received last evening, show that the Wing
candidate for Governor has received crly
about 300 votes more than the Democratic
candidate. 1t is conceded that the Demo-
Gratis will have a majority of three in the
Senate, and four in the House-inajority
on joint ballot, seven.
AS the duty of c~lccting a Governor, 1t.

visit him upon a bed Of sickness. He said
70 the minister, 81 was invited 10 the saw

to die when the message came, and now I
ar not ready to lie down in hell! Nv two
