THE Louisville JonraGf says parties are
now prospecting in Breckenridge county,
Ky., for oil. aud With Aattertng prospects
of success. Says the Journal:
In one portion of the county, on what is
called Buffalo Greek, an oil spring is
known to exist, flowing from the ereviee
of n rock in the bed OF tue creek, and sup
posed by the citizens of the neigbborho0d
to run from one to five barrels of pure oil
every twenty-four hours. Its existence
has long been known. and was regarded
as quite a curiosity, without any value be-
ing attached to it.

THE CHARM OF LIFE.-There are o
thousand things in this world to afflict and
sadden-but oh how many that are beau
tiful and good. The world teens with
beauty-with objects that gladden. the
eye and warm the heart. We might be
happy if we would. There are ills that
we cannot escapc-the approach of dis
ease and death, of misfortunes, the sun
dering of the early ties, and the canker-
worm of grief-but the vast majority of
evils that beset us might be avoided. The
course of intemperance, interviewer as it
is with all the ligaments of society, is one
which never strikes but to destroy. There
is not one bright page upon the record of
its progress-nothing to shield it from the
hearticst execration of the human race.
1t ought not to exist-it must not. Do
away with all this-let wars come to an
end, and let friendship, charity, love,
purity and kindness mark the intercourse
UCbWccu IEiu thu we ART tOO SCI
fish, as if the world was made for us alone.
How much happier would we be, were We
to labor more earnestly to promote each
! others good. God has blessed us with a
home that is not dark. There is sunshine
everywhere-in the sky, upon the earth
there would be in most hearts if we were
to look around us. The storm dies away
and bright. sun shines out. Summer
drops her tinted curtains upon the Garth
which is very beautiful, when autumn
breathes her changing breath upon it.
God reigns in heaven. Murmur not at O
being so good, and We can live happie
than VIC DO.

n HIGHwAYMAN OUTwITTED.-'Stand
and deliver were the words addressed to
tailor travelling on foot, by highway
man whose brace of pistols looked rather
dangerous than otherwise.
"Ill do that with pleasure was the
reply, at the same time handing over in
10 the outstretched hand of the robber, q
purse apparently well filed, "but," con-
tinued he, "suppose you do me favor in
return. My friends would laugh at me
were I to go home and tell them was
robbed with as much patience as lamb,
pose. you fire your bulldogs right
through the crown of my hat; it will
look something like show of resistance"
His request was acceded to but hardly
had the smoke from the discharge of the
weapon passed away, when the tailor
pulled out rusty old horse pistol, and
in his turn politely requested the thunder
struck highwaymau to shell out everything
of value, his pistol not omitted, about
him.

s4~ TRADE WITH JAPAN.-The ship
Phantom, Captain Sargent, which arrived
at New York last week from Shanghae,
brought one of the most valuable cargoes
ever imported into this country from China,
its value reaching between eight and nine
hundred thousand dollars-consisting of
teas, cassia, and raw silk. Of the latter
there were $50 bales, and of these l44
contained the japanese raw silk, brought
from Japan to China for shipment to New
York. As each bale of the Japanese silk
is worth about $500, and as this is but the
commencement of the shipments, some idea
may be formed of the trade likely to grow
up between the two countries, indirect at
present, but which will doubtless soon be
direct.

The Horrors of Civil War.

Those who are investing in epaulettes
and swords, and for the sport they expect
from civil war, or are sparing no pains
or effort in getting one up, will find should
their unholy efforts be crowned with sue
cess, that civil war abounds more in hor.
rors than in past times, ,and that blood and
misery rather than pleasure and profit are
its horrible fruits. Let them pause and
calmly reflect upon the miseries in which
they are endeavoring to plunge themselves
and the thirty -one millions of their country.
mcn-men, women and children. Did
they ever read the histories of civil wars
and note their horrors! Let them take
for instance the French Rovlution and
ponder its results before they follow in its
wake. The following extract will give
them glimpse into our future, should
their policy be carried out 4:
Gas warning to the American people
at this time, they should read the history
of the French Revolution, and contem-
plate its horrible results. The extent to
which blood was shed during its contin-
uance will hardly be credited by the pre-
sent age, but it is correctly stated that the
number of victims reached one million
twenty two thousand, three hundred and
ffty-one. Of this number eighteen thou
sand six hundred and three we're guillot
ined by the order of the Revolutionary
Tribunals; thirty-two thousand wer,
victims under Carrier at Nantes; thirty
two thousand at Lyons; three thousant
four hundred women died of premature
child birth; three hundred and forty
eight in childbirth from grief; and ther
were slain, during the war in La Vendee
nine hundred thousand men, fifteen thou
sand women. and twenty two thousan
children. In this enumeration are no
comprehended the massacre at Versailles
at the Abbey, the Carmes and other pri
sons, on the I'd of September; the vic
tins shot at Soulon and Marseilles, or tn
persons slain in the little town of Bedoin
of which the whole population perished.

She NEVER LEAVES HIM.--Look at
the career of man as he passes through
the world at man visited by misfortunes :
How often is he left by his fellow-men to

own sex forgets him, another abandons him,
a third, perhaps, betrays him; but woman,
faithful woman, follows him in his affiic.

changes of feeling, of his temper embittered
by the disappointmcnts of the world, with
the highest of all virtue; in resigned

with him, tear for tear, in his distresses
and is the first to catch and reflect a ra,
of Joy, should but one light up his counte

she never leaves him in his misery Will
there remains one act of love, duty, o
