Thus it will be seen that the question
Of Lcccmptonlsm does not enter into

On Tuesday last our town was Wis
lied Ly series of the most infamous
and anlaciors transactions we have
yet had to place on record. Att late
hour. when most Of our citizens had
retired to rest. two hcaltlcss rutlians
were detected in the act Of setting fire
70 the daguerrean car Of Mcssrs. Bill
d,rback l. I.lnan. They had place,
a large quantity Of shavings AMI other
conhustihle material underneath tile
car. which being set on fire innncdi-
atcly burst into 4 VAST blaze. Several
young men reached the spot in time

their heels. and with commcndablc

made their escape for the time being,
but the outline Of their persons was
distinctly seen By more than one, and
together with the general circumstan-
ces connected with the diabolical act
leave little room for doubt in the minds
Of most as to their identity.
As the car was standing il the pub
lie square at but short distance from

'tinatc the extent Of the evil had the
villainous attempt succeeded.

TALE BEARING Never repeat
a story unless YOU are certain it is
correct, and then not unless someth-
ing is to be gained, either ofinterest
to yourself, or for the good of the
person concerned. Tattling is a
mean and wicked practice, and he
who INDUCES in it grows more fond
Of it in proportion as he is success
full. Ifyou have no good to say of
your neighbor, never reproach his
character by telling that which is
false. He who tells you the faults
Of others intends to tell others of
your faults, and so the dish Of news
is handed from one to another, until
the tale becomes enormous. "A
story never loses anything is wisely
remarked; but on the contrary, gains
in proportion as it is repeated by
those who have not very strict re-
gard for truth. Truly 'the tongue is
an nnruly evil, full Of deadly poison.

True at Heart.

Not long since, in an eastern State, there
lay good man on bed, from which he
never expected to rise. He was abundant
ly prepared for his end, and rejoiced, as
dying Christians usually do, that his pre-
parations were made years before, when in
health and strength. He was asked what
message he would, from his present position
on the verge OF the grave, send to his fell
low Christians. 81 would tell them," he
replied, "to be true at heart. see the i'm
portance OF this now, and so will they see
it, when they come TO the place which
now occupy"
The expiring saint was right. True at
heart is the great requisite. Men may
make noisy profession, may "do many
things" which gain applause, may be very
puncilous in all outward matters, and YET
lack truth at heart. But lacking this, they
lack every thing of real value. God seett
the heart; and in the great day he will
judge the heart. 1t is one of David's slrik.
ing expressions in the penitential Psalm
composed after his great sin, 'Behod, thor
desirest truth in the inward parts" ant
what God desires, every man should labor
after increasingly. keep thy heart will
all diligence; for out of it are the issues

The Love-Knot.

Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven ringlets in,
But not alone in the silken snare,
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within,
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes bowling merry an
chill;
And it blew the curls frolicksome race,
All over the happy, peach-colored face,
Till, scoding and laughing; she tied them in,
Under her beautiful, dimpled chin;
And it blew a color, bright as the bloom
OF the pinkest fuscha's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned romping curl,
Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied a young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill
Nader, merrier, chillier, still,
The western wind blew down and played
'fhe widest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans he art within
Oh, western wind, do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with her floating hair?
To gladly, gleefully do your best,
To blow her against the young mans breast,
Where be as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and her dimpled chin?
Oh, Ellery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass 10 walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.
