The Judiciary committee had been favored
with the aid aud advice Of the most dis:in-
guished lawyers and Judges OF The State, and
that these as well as the committee were
unanimous in favoring this hill. The bill
was read the second time: when Mr.. Miner
sustained the bill, stating the absolute ne

superiority of this mode OF relief as compared

opposed the increase in The number of the

the present number, and lengtheniBg the
time of the terms OF the court. Mr. Harring-
ton of NJ. deemed this poor economy for the
people: while $1,000 would be saved in a

nitely more than that through delays in col

FoRGIvENEss.-There is pleasure in
forgiving those who have done us an iniu-
ry, which very few seem to enjoy. Instead
of the kind word and pleasant smiles so
powerful TO subdue the most obdurate, and
make them realize their pervorse disposi-
tions-mankind are too apt to add fuel TO
the flame of passion, by harsh words and
unkind epithets. Of what avail is it, even
if we are really wronged, to harbor re-
vengeful feelings Do we not by this
course, make ourselves miserable, and do
stroy the tender emotions of our soils? A
forgiving disposition is what we should all
labor to possess-not only for the sake of
the enjoyment that will accrue to ourselves
thoreflom, but also from the beneficial re-
suits on the minds of all with whom we are
concerned. If there is feeling in unison
with that of angels, it must be forgiving
spirit.

BATTLE SAN JACINTO.

The night which preceded the slaughter
of San Jacinto, rolled anxiously away, and
brightly broke forth the morning of the last
day of Texian servitude. Before the first
grey lines shot up the East, three strange
taps of drum were heard in the camp, and
700 soldiers sprang to their feet as one man.
The camp was busy with the soldier hum Of
preparation for battle; but in the midst of it
all, Houston slept on calmly and profoundly.
The soldiers had eaten the last meal they
were to eat till they had won their independ
ence. They were under arms, ready for the
struggle. ... s..... s...
At last the glorious sun came up over
the Prairie, without single cloud, ltshone
full and clear in the face of the Hero, and
it walked him to battle. He sprang to his
feet, and exclaimed, 'sthe sun of Austeritz
has risen again" His face was calm, and
for the first time in many weeks, every shade
oftrouble had moved away from his brow.
He ordered his Commissary General, Col.
John Forbes, to provide two good axes, and
then sent for Deaf Smith. He took this
faithfuland intrepid man aside, and ordered
him to conceal the axes in a safe place near
by, where he could lay his hand on them at
a moments warning, and not to pass the
lines Of the sentinels that day without his
special orders, nor to be out of his call.
. Morning, wore away, and about nine
o'clock q large body Of men was. seen
moving over swell of the Prairie in the
direction of Santa Anna's camp. They
were believed to be powerful force which
had, come TO join the Mexicans, and the
spectacle produced no little excitement in
.fhe Texians lines. 8, Houston saw it at a
glance, and quelled the apprehension by
coolly remarking, that sEthey were the same
men they had seen the day before-they
had marched round the swell in the prairie
and returned in sight Of the Texian camp
TO alarm their foe, with the appearance OF
an immense reinforcement it was very
evident Santa Anna did not wish to fight
But it was all a 't1se de guerre that could be
easilyseenthrough- h--amere Merican trick" "
4. All this did very well, and yet Houston,
of course had quite a different notion on the
subject, He sent Deaf Smith and a comrade
with confidential orders as spies on their
,rearward march. They soon returned, and
reported publicly that ''the General was
right-it was, all !, humbGg.' A few
minutes after, Deaf Smith whispered quite
another story in the private ear Of the COM
,mander. The enemy seen was reinforce
.ment Of $40 men, under Gen. Cos, who
had heard Santa Annals cannon the day be-
fore on the BRACES, and come on by forced
marches to Join his standard. But the Sc
cret waskept till il did no harm to reveal it,
"A proposition was made to the General to
construct q floating bridge over. Buffalo
Bayou, (which might be used in the event
of danger" Houston, ordered his Adjutant
and Inspector Generals and an Aidt ascer.
tain if the necessary materials could be
obtained. They reported that by tearing

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-The late
eminent judge, Sir Allen Park, said once.
at public meeting in London:
eve live in the midst of blessings till
we are utterly insensible oftheir greatness,
and of the sources from whence they flow.
We speak of our civilization, our arts, our
freedom, our laws, and forget entirely how
large share is due to christianity. Blot
christianity out of the pages of mans his
tory and what would his laws have been
what his civilization? Christianity is mix
ed up by our very being and our very life,
there is not familiar object around which
does not wear a different aspect because
the light Of christian hope is on it, not law
which does not owe its truth and gentleness
to christianity-not custom which cannot
be traced in all its holy, healthful parts, to
the gospel"

Working Girls.

Happy girls who can but love them?
With checks like the roso-bright eyes and
elastic step-how cheerfully they go to
their work. Our reputation for it, such
girls will mako excellent wives. Blossod
indeed will those men bo who secure such
prizes. Contrast with these contentod,
cheerful, smiling girls, those who do moth
ing but sigh all day and live only to follow
the fashions-who never earn the bread
they cat or the shoes they wear-who are
languid and sick and lazy from one weeks
end to the other. Who but q simpleton
and q popinjay would prefer one of the lat
ter, if he were looking for companion?
Give us the working girls. They are
worth their weight in gold. You never
SEQ them mincing along, or jump dozen
feet to steer clear of spider or q fly
They have no aifectation-no silly airs
about them. When they meet you, they
speak without putting on dozen airs, OIL
trying to show off to better advantage, anc
fsSa feel ash you were talking to a human
being, and not a painted, fallen angel.
If girls knew how sadly they miss it,
while they endeavor to show off their deli
cate hands and unsoiled skins, and put on
Thousand airs-they would give worlds for
the situation of the despised working ladies,
who are SO far above them in intelligence,
in honor, in everything, as the heavens arc
above the earth. Be wise, then, ye who
have mado fools Of yourselves through life.
Turn over new leaf and begin, though
late, to live and act as human beings, as
companions to Immortal man, and not play
things and dolls. In no other way can you
be happy and subserve the designs Of your
existence. Portland Tribune.
