New Goods---Fresh Arrival

A REnow receiving and opening large and
IA complete stock Of Staple and Fancy Dry
Goods, which will compare favorably with
any stock that has ever been brought to this
market. Having taken great pains in select
ing, both as to quality and style, and having
purchased on the most favorable terms, they
feel confident of being able to offer as strong
inducements to purchasers as any other house
in town.
They will not bore the reader with long
exaggerated catalogues, and other humbugge
ry resorted to by some merchants, but con-
tent themselves with calling the attention of
IN intelligent community to their stock, be.
lieving that their Goods and prices are better
recommendations than any manufactured
puffs. So, making long story short, they
hare the Goods, and are determined to sell Menl
at such prices as will suit the public.

The NEwsPAPER.-As popular lecturers
have frequently oflate thought it worth their
while to say uncivil things ofnewspapers, we
deemit no more than right to offer the follow.
ing, from sermon by Rev. DR.. Adams of
New York, as an offset to their ISLANDERS.
"Why is it announced that Isaac and Re-
becca were married on certain day last week
but on the supposition that it will give you
pleasure to know it. And then lower down
on the sheet, under the startling head of
deaths. your eye runs along always with ap-
prehension lest it fall on some well known
name, and reads that the aged father, the
young child, the beloved wife, the rich, the
poor, the admired, the honored, the beautiful
are gone, is it not taken for granted that even
strangers will heave sigh for the afflicted,
and the world respond in sympathy to the
incursons of common foe!
"Read in this light, the commonest adver-
tisements which crowd our papers have kind
ly order about them. Say not with cync
sneer, as though you were doubtful whether
there was anything honest in the world when
a store-keeper advertises his wares, that it is
all sheer seIfshness, for if it is pleasant for
one to announce fresh supply of tallow and
wool, hardwares or muslins, is it not Just us
pleasant for one who wishes to know it,
When brace of young partners in trade in
sert their virgin advertisement, informing the
world how happy they shall be to wait on
customers, can you read it without. entering
into their new career!
Business advertisements. Waste paper
You know not what you say. Those ships
which are to sail for every harbor in the world
those fabrics which have arrived from eve-
ry commercial mart on the earth, this iron
from Russia, tea from China, wool from
Smyrna, fruit from Malaga, coffee from Cuba,
cotton from Georgia, sugar from Louisiana
do they not preach to us at the corners of the
streets, ut the entering in of the gates, in our
docks, and in our custom houses and OK
changes, sermons on the mutual dependence
of mankind?" Of"

EsvY.-A mean, base, sordd passion. We
would as soon fondle live scorpion, as to
harbor feeling so guilty. What an occu-
patton for the human heart! A monster hor-
rble rs Cerberus-a vile chemist forever
seeking bane-bendng over the alembic Of
malice-stirrng up hatred and strife, till he
makes one huge dish of poison, in which he
sleeps the better qualities, till they are bitter
and cruel MS the grave.
With what II green eye does he look out
over the world! How his hair stands on end,
and his fingers clutch at the dagger of de-
traction, when he meets one better than him
self. How he grinds his teeth when beauty
stands beside his deformity! and Kisses like a
serpent stirred in his nest, when fame plucks
her laurels for the brow of another. His
tongue, sharpened with the venom of black
hate, and hot with malice rs burning Goals,
"set on fire of hell" lie would unhinge the
dosr of an infants heart, and teach its little
thoughts to quarrel with perfection, and pick
the eyes out Of virtue. So foul is his spirit,
that he has been known to dig graves for an
entire household, and smile with the exulta-
ton of demon, over the ruin he has made.

The CHICAGO MtRpRsrRs-Tbs men :,

The CHICAGO MURpERERs.-The men In
charge Of the trains by which the late coils
ion near Chicago caused such a fearful de-
struction of human life were, on the finding
OF the Coroner's jury, committed for man
slaughter. They have since been bailed out
of prison.
The testimony before the Coroner goes far
to prove culpable negligence, ifnothng worse,
on the part Of the Conductors, Engine Dri.
vers and Supcrintendents The arrangement
Of the running time brought the two trains
of the two lines together at a point where
the tracks cross each other. The Engine
Driver on the Central road swore before the
Jury; "lf ] had reversed the engine when |
first saw the train, there would have been no
co,lisionw WelL why did he not reverse his
engine then! Because, by the running order
the track was his! and because by the running
rule, the other train should have stopped and
left his way clear, he run reckless on and into
the train out of place, though it was full of
human beings, manning and killing them by
the score !! Such inhuman and brutal con-
duct may well stamp the actors as murderers,
and should be sufficient to subject them to
condemnation and punishment rs murderers.
There is great excitement on the subject at
Chicago, and the matter we hope, will be
thoroughly prosecuted and the guilty pun
ished. Their discharge from employment
falls far short of what is due to such who!ei
sale and heartless destruton of life and limb.
The Directors of the road should aid in bring
ing these men to justice Their responsible
ty to the MANNED for the injuries inflicted will,
no doubt, amount to large sum, but the
settlement of that responsibility will not dis.
charge their obligations to the public, and to
the gre work in their charge. The charac-
ter Of the road, us safe one to travel, will
be seriously affected, and some effort will be
necessary to regain conidence.- Gin. Gazetle
