THREATENING AND APPEALING LETTERS TO
Gov. WIsE.-The Governor of Virginia,
whose energetic, patriotic and prudent con-
duct in regard to the Harper's Ferry out
rage commands universal approval, is in
daily receipt of large number of letters
from Abolilionisis in various States, threat.
ening his life, threatening an attempt to
rescue Old Brown If Gov. Wise does not
pardon the miscreant who has just been
convicted of his crimes, and who will be
put to death as he deserves, as surely
as to.morrow's sun rises in heaven. These
letters speak of the increasing number OF
the Aboiiionisls, of their ability to perform
what they threaten, and of The "muderOus
eye" TO use the language of one of them,
with which they watch the progress oi
Browns trial. They wind up generally with
holding out TO the Governor great POPULAR.
ty al the North if he will deal leniently with
the criminals. From all quarters in the
Northern and Western States these letters
come, written in every variety of style and
penmanship; but all breathing threats Of
rescue or OF vengeance, in case Brown and
his followers are executed.

Live for q Purpose

Perhaps the secret of all success in life,
of all greatness-nay even Of human hap.
piness iiself--is TO live for purpose. The
man OF aimless objects, however rich he
may be, however blessed with health, how
ever favored in his domestic relations, how
ever generally liked, rarely enjoys existence.
Nature seems, in fact, 10 avenge herself on
him for his want of purpose in life.
There are many persons, always busy,
who yet have no great purpose in view
They frighten away their energies on hun
dred objects, never accomplishing anything
because never given their undivided a,teu-
ton 10 any one thing. They are like but
| terfiies that fit from spot 10 spot, never
gaining wealth, and that steadily adheres
10 certain circuit around its hole, gradu-
ally lays up stores for winter. Such per-
sons are doomed to be dissatisfied in the
end, even If they are not soon, for they will
find that, in the race of life, they have been
passed by all who had purpose. |. is not
the positive drones, therefore but the busy
idle, if we may coin phrase for the occa-
sion, that makes a blunder for want of a
purpose.
1t is always the boy who has purpose
that becomes distinguished at school or
college. He makes up his mind TO succeed
in some particular branch or branches of
knowledge; he concentrates all his ener-
gies 10 win the goal and he generally tri-
umphs, even over classmates of greater
ability. So in adult life, the man who sticks
to his pursuit-nay, devotes his whole soul
TO it's the man who prospers. Few per-
sons even succeed who shift from one thing
to another, or who gives only divided at
tention 10 business. 1t is having definite
purpose, and keeping, so 10 speak, the
winning post always before the view, that
carries man triumphantly over the race
course of lite. No man ever became great
without having done this. Newton put his
entire intellect into mathematics. Milton
devoted his life to preparation for writing
Paradise Lost. Sir Humphrey Davy gave
himself to chemistry, has said, as to a mis-
tress. Blackstone, abandoning poetry, con-
cenirated on law. The younger Pitt, from
his very childhood, trained himself to be
greater debaler, that he might become
Prime Master. We might multiply exam
pies. But these are sufficient to establish
our point and show that no man without
purpose, ever became great.-Philadeiphia
Ledger.

Deacon BOdkins.

Deacon Bodkins was a good man, but
like all the righteous, he had great trials
The deacon was not only good man, but
he had a nice taste as 10 the fitness Of
things, especially touching the good order
aud decorum of the church. Now it is we'll
known that in these latter days, there have
crept into churches some very unseemly
and scandalous practices, such as one.half
the congregation sitting, while the others
rise, in time of prayer; and many of those
who sit and those who rise, staring about
as though they were endeavoring 10 go be-
yond the journey of the FOOLS eyes. Dea-
con Bodkins had lively sense of the evil
Of these things, and often spoke of the sub
ject in most feeling manner. "Deacon,"
said neighbor Jones, speaking OF those un-
seemIy things in Church, reminds me of a
case which occurred when was boy.'
We all pr,cked up our ears, and were all
attention, for Jones was good at an anecdote,
and hardly ever told one that did not fit
somewhere.
w Cii, uOnSohj hO3 "hCh 4 " 90 q
boy, we had schoolmas,er who had odd
ways of catching idle boys. Says he one
day, Boys, must have closer attention TO
books The first one OF you that sees another
boy idle, want you TO inform me, and
will attend 10 the case.' ALI, says 10 my
self, there is Joe Simmons that don't like /;
I'll watch him, and if | see him look off his
book, I'll lel on him. 1t was not long be.
fore Saw Joe look off his book, and inn
mediately informed the master. Indeed,'
said he, 'how do you know he was idle 2 Il
saw him. was the reply You did? and
were your eyes on your book when you
saw hing was caught, and didn't watch
for the boys again"
We all agreed with Jones that this was a
very good anecdote, and hac meaning ;
but Deacon Bodkns never asked for any
explanation.

A Scene at the st. Louis Fair.

A St. Louis correspondent of the Chicago
Press furnishes the following
The most exciting accident of the Fair
was the grand run away, turnover, and
smash up among the fast men who were
showing of their horses and sulkies in the
ring on Thursday afternoon. About twen-
ly. five horses and sulkies were flying round
the ring in the presence of ten or twelve
thousand persons, when one.driver ran into
the gig of another one, which frightened
his horse The horse bounded off at full
speed, striking several other horses and
sulkies, and starting them off likewise
Within minute the panic and runaway
feeling were communicated to almost ev.
cry horse in The ring. Gigs were smashed
to splnters, drivers were hurled headlong
from their seats to the ground aud run over;
some of them held on TO their reins, and
were dragged along one or two got caught
with their feet in the wheels, and were
hurled about in irightful manner. Some
Of the horses attempted to jump over the
railing among the frightened Spectators
Others plunged madly for the entrance and
exit places, and dashed their vehicles to
pieces against the sides of the passage way.
Just picture TO your mind score of high
melted horses atlched TO carriages, all rum
ming away promiscously on the space of an
acre-crashing against each other, rolling
over and springing up, plunging, kicking
and squealing, around and across the area,
in pell-mel terror and confusion, portions
of broken gigs following their heels, with
their drivers rolling or dragging in the dirt
among the debris of sukies and hoofs of
the frightened horses ; add TO this the rush
of hundred hardy meu into the ring try
ing 10 stop the horses, many of whom get
ting instantly kicked down and run over,
I and the shouts of ten thousand men and
screams of five thousand women, and you
can form some idea of how the scene look
ed to the spectator. In five minutes it was
all over, and horses, men and gigs had
cleared the ring. Strange 10 tell, no one
was killed, though several received severe
conlusions, and few escaped without bloody
faces or solled and torn garments.

WHAT THE BOYS PROPOSE 10 DO.

The following was spoken by lite fel
low at recent Temperance Anniversary in
Philadelphia:
Pm but little Temperance Boy,
Just three feet high It's true;
But can tell these boys and girls
What little boys can do.
When David was shepherd boy
He slew giant tall
God called from Heaven to Samuel,
When he was very small.
So here we are with pledge in band,
All ready for the fight
We fear no Whiskey Regiment,
For we are with the right.
We'll mako the Brandy Army ny,
Well chase the Gin Brigade,
Well beat the Wine Artillery,
And seize the Cavalcade.
Take prisoner General Alcohol,
Make Major Cordial run;
Drive Captain Gin Sling from the ranks
Fog Lager Beer for tun.
Lieutenant Claret Punch must go,
And Whiskey Punch must follow;
Then twill not do Roman Punch
To stay until TO morrow.
Drive Sergeant Schiedam Schnappsaway,
With Corporal Ale and Porter;
Danish them all 10 "parls unknown"
And fill their place with WATER.
