Eloquent Extract.

A spirit Of fault-inding an unsatisfed
temper; constant iritability little ne-
qualities in the look, the temper or the
manner; a brow cloudy and dissatisfied
your husband or wife cannot tell WHY
will more than neutralizo ali the good YOU
can do, andrcnder life any thing but bless
ing. 1t is in such gentle and quiet vi tues
as meekness and iorbearance that the hap
piness and usefulness Of life consists. tar
more than in eloquence, splendid talent
or illustrious deeds, that shall send tie
name to future times. Itis the bubbliug
spring which flows gently Y, the little rivul,
which glides through the meaGow and
which runs along day and night by the
fam house, that is useful, rather than the
swollen food or the warning cataract. Nj
aeaia eXcites our wonder; and we stand
amazed at the power and greatness of God
there, as he 'pomS it from his holl
hand" But one Niagara is cnou h for the
continent or world while that same
world needs thousands and tens of ,h3c-
sands of silyery fountains and gently fow-
ing riyulets, that water every farm and
meadow, and every garden, and that shall
flow on every day and every night, with
their gentle, quiet beauty. with the
acts Of our lives. 1t is not by great de lis
only, like those Of the martyrs, that good
is to be done it is by the daily and quiot
virtues of life the Christian temper. the
meek fOrbcarance, the spirit of forgiveness
in the husband, wife, the father, the moth
er, the brother, the sister, the friend, the
ncighbor, that it is to be done, and in this
all may be useful. Barnes.

Daring Robbery.-At an early hour on Satur-
day morning last, as gentleman from Virginia
named Milbourn was returning home from our
town with his wagon, when near the Little
Falls Bridge hearing some one halloo he stopped
his horses, and three white men made their
appearance, one Of whom jumped into his
wagon, seized him by the throat and robbed
him of his pocket-book containing q consider
able amount of money, the proceeds of load
of butter which he brought to market
Joseph, the Miller by name, was on duty
again last night, and being caught at an I'M
reasonable hour prowling about the premises
of one Of our citizens, (which he had frequently
done before, he was arrested, and received, as
reward for his nocturnal visits, the benefit OF
Mosess law-forty stripes, save one, well laid
on with good cowhde. He was afterwards
arrested again, for threatening to fire the gen
tleman's premises, and taken to the watch
house, but succeeded in giving the officers the
slip, and is this morning among the missing.
A general melee took place last night among
party of negroes at grog- shop on Water
street, in which several of them were consider
ably injured--among them one by the name Of
Chisly was severely cut with knife several
times in the face. DR.. Snider sewed up and
dressed his wounds.
The -four market may be considered steady
ct 1915. Several boatloads Of -four are in,
but up to this hour hear Of no sales Of mo-
ment.
From four thousand to five thousand pounds
of roll butter, from wagons, changed hands
this morning at $50 per one hundred pounds,
