Mr.. TooMBs MAKES A SPEEoH.-The Hon.
Robert Toombs of Georgia is never happy
unless he has just made, or is about to make
n speech His latest exhibition was in de-
fense of alien suifrage--wherein he declared
that he even welcomed paupers and criminals,
from all cimes under the sun, TO the equal
rights OF American citizenship. He wanted
them 10 come that we might make better
citizens of them. II occurs to us that Mr..
roombs might have his hands full in making
better citizens of some who are native born.
But, being the only Southern Senator who
voted for the establishment Of alien suffrage
in the Territories, it is not to be wondered
that he pursues the doctrine to its legitimate
conolnsiOn.-LNnchbnrg Eiginian.

New DoDGE IN New YoRg.-The Day
Book humorously adds another to the cata-
logue of arts adopted by pickpockets in New
York. II is this;--
A little boy runs behind an extensive lady
in hoops, whose dress is supposed, as most of
them do, to contain n pocket with purse
full of cash. Little boy falls on all fours
and sets up terrible puppy dog fit of bark
ing in the rear Of the lady, and seizes the
lower hoop of her dress with his teeth; little
boys set up cry Of mad dog, and as the la
dy in terrible state Of agitation turns round
to see what the row is, the smallest rascal of
the crowd bobs under the hooped gown, and
clips of her pocket and bobs out again with
the plunder before the agitated lady can say
Jack Robinson.

From MExIco.-The papers at the city OF
Mexico are loud in their complaints of the
want of safety to travellers throughout the
Republic. Scarcely day passes, says the
Monitor, in which some new cases of robbie
ry are not reported; the papers of the more
distant interior are full of them; commerce
languishes, and general feeling of personal
insecurity prevails. With Others, the Moni-
tor calls loudly on the Government for the
protection of the people, call, however,
more easily made than responded to under
present circumstances.

SINGULAR REsuLT OF KIss.-An English
paper informs us that a girl of seventeen
residing Mt Bridgegaie, Glasgow, named
Catherine Burt, was brought to the central
police office of that city, having had her neck
fractured in struggle arising from young
man having attempted to kiss hir No extra
! violence,it was said, had been used. DR.
M'Gill was in attendance, and reported that
the injury sustained appeared to be partial
dislocation of the yeftebrn of the neck, eau
sing great difficulty in respiration and swal-
lowng-he presumed, from pressure on the
respiratory nerve. She was ordered to the
infrmary but her friends preferred taking
her home, where she now lies in n dangerous
state. Steps are being taken to have the
young man apprehended.
We publish this ms n warning to young
ladies not to resist such at,emps. If so ser-
Gus n result follows resistance which, from
the nature of the attack was very slight, the
consequences ofa more forcible repulse might
have been fatal. .H

Sick Of THE BARGAIN AND LOST His LIFE.
The Palestine (rexas) Advocate says
'On the 9th instant about nine miles north
west of that place, Mr.. Archibald Briggs kill
ed Mr.. Brown. The circumstances are about
as follows: Brown induced the wife of Briggs
to forsake her husband and live with him.
This arrangement was made with the consent
of all concerned, and the parties left. After
the expiration of two or three days Brown
visited Briggs and informed him that she
could take his wife back, as he was tired OF
his bargain" or words to that effect. This
appears to have been little too much for the
sensitive nature of Briggs, and we are told
that he seized his gun, remarking, "Brown,
you have had your fun, and now I'll have
mine," took deliberate aim at him and fired,
killing him almost instantly"

THE UNSEEN BATTLEFIELD.

he ONOEbN Dh LEr iElsD.
There is an unseen battle field,
In every human breast,
Where two opposing forces meet,
And where they seldom rest.
That field is veiled from mortal sight,
"ris only seen by one
Who knows alone where victory lies,
When each days fight is done.
One army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chief of demon form;
His brow is like the thunder cloud,
His voice the bursting storm.
His captains, Pride, and Lust, and Hate,
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force
Is but little band;
Yet there with an unquailing front,
Those warriors firmly stand!
Their leader is of God-like form,
OF countenance serene;
And glowing on his naked breast
a simple cross is seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love,
Point to that wondrous sign;
And gazing on it, all receive
Strength from source divine.
They feel it speaks n glorious truth,
And truth as great rs sure,
That to be victors they must learn
To love, conlide, endure,
Tha: faith sublime, in widest strife,
lmparts holy calm;
For every deadly blow shield,
For every wound balm.
And when they win that battle field,
Past toll is quite forgot;
The plain where carnage once had reigned
Becomes hNllowed spot.
A spot where flowers of Joy and peace
Spring from the fertile sod,
And breathe the perfume of their praise
On every breeze to God.
