SOMETHING FROM WALTER SAVAGE LASDoR.--we take
the following from the Examination and Citation of Will
liam Shakespeare" book little known, but among the
best Of the many which have been written about the i'm
mortal dramatst. Mr.. Landor puts these words into
shakespeare's own mouth-they contain noble lesson
on selfrelianee:
Let not the highest of you who hear this evening
be led into the delusion for such it is that the founder
of his family originally greater better than
the lowest here He willed it, and became it. He must
have stood low; he must have worked hard and with
tools moreover of his invention and fashoning He
waved and whstled off thousand strong and impor-
tunate temptations; he dashed the dice-box from the
eweed hand Of chance the cup from pleasures and rod
under foot the orceres of each he ascended steadily the
precpices of danger and looked down with ntrepdity
from the SUBMITS he overawed arrogance with sedate-
he seized by the horn and overeaped violence and
fairly swung fortune round The very high cannot rise
much higher; the very low may the truly great must
have done it. This is not the doctrine, my friends Of
the silkeny and lawnly religious; il the coarse
texture Of the fisherman and walks upghty and straight

Highway Robbery.

We understand that German, whose
name we have not heard, was robbed and shot
on the road from Columbia to Princeton, last
Thursday morning. He was laborer on the
railroad, and coming over to Princeton to meet
the cars, with companion, on foot. Being
early. they laid down by the side of the road
to rest. The German fell asleep, and in this
condition his money, about $50, was abstract
ed from his pocket by his companion. Just
as he was thus being robbed, he awakened,
when the other shot at him with pistol load
ed with buckshot. Three shots went into
his forehead. They did not, however, entire
ly penetrate the skull. When our informant
left, two had been extracted, and the wounds
were not considered fatal. The other man
had not been arrested.
