Fidelity.

Never forsake friend. When enc
mics gather thick and fast around him -
when sickness falls heavy on his heart
when the world is dark and cherries,
this is the time to try friendship. They
who turn from the scene of distress or
offer reason why they should be excused
from extending their sympathy and aid,
betray their hypocrisy. and prove that
selfish motives only prompt or move
them. If you have a friend who loves
you-who has studied your interest and
appiness-defended you when persecu-
ted and troubled. be sure to sustain him
in his adversely. Let him feel that his
friendship was not lavisheI on you for
naught.
/ Real fidelity may be rare. but it exists
in the heart. Who has not seen and felt
its power? They only deny it. worth
and power who have never loved friend,
or labored 10 make one happy. The
good, the kind. the affectionate. and viz
tuous see and feel this heavenly princi-
pie. for heavenly it is it is the fruit gath
cred from sacred germ implanted by
heaven in the heart.
| And true fidelity has lis reward. Il
may be sighted by some. overlooked by
others but pure minded men cultivate
and cherish fond. and undying love for
| it.
AS the diamond is found in the dark
ness of the mine. as the lighting shoots
with the most vivid flashes from the
darkest cloud. SO does fidelity proceed
from heart susceptible to the calls o.
the deepest melancholy. and shows itsel
brighter and stronger in the adversely o.

A POLICE SELL-The following incident,
which has been the town laugh for week;
is quite as we'll told by our friend "Zouave,"
in letter from Ottawa to the Peru Herald
az we could tell it, whence we copy it.
Our city was the scene of quite laugh
able incident on Sunday last, which in III e
absence of firearms made it harmless A
gentleman from Chicago came to our city
on the Sunday evening train, arriving here
about l o'clock A. NJ He Immediately
obtained horse to 60 south of the river as
far as David Strawns, riding thro' our city
about o'clock at night. Early on Sun
day evening a horse was stolen in the
streets of Ottawa, and our officers were on
the alert to overtake the thief Seeing
the gentleman riding through the streets
they hailed him, and he having a large
amount Of gold in his possession, thought
the officers were robbers. and, acting upon
this thought he started away from them
at furious rate. One OF the officers
caught the horse, and the man immedi-
ately jumped off and took to his heels
over the Illinois river bridge The officers
had the horse but the thief had flown, and
the supposed thief was running for dear
life away from the supposed robbers. Tho
gentleman who rode the horse remained
all night at some friends south of the
river, and returned the next morning to
find the robbers, &c. After the matter
was explained on both sides it created
loud laughter and is considered here the
joke of tho season. But the gentleman
who rode the horse declares II he had
been in possession of firearms he would
have used them upon the officers, which
might have put very different construc-
ton upon the whole affair. We hope
officers will be moro prudent in future.

being shot, though not fatally, by the

danger if they did net.
