Good Advice.

Many persons suffer themselves to be n.,
liant and irritable. They seem to FORGET th
what cannot be cured should be pieaseD,,s
endured. 10 this class of persons an ezcb,n,
has the following appropriate advice:
Friends, be easy. Don't fret Snnn..
ing some one does think differently from Tos
Surprising he does quote scriptures that ts s'9'
to overthrow some Of yoar darling tbeors a'
Would you like to gag his mouth, or bre ,I
his pen? Well, may be he won't FIGHT WIN
you. Perhaps he has so,aethins more to ' 1a
than to stop and dispute, and wrange ps"
haps all your sly thrusts, and inuendoes .nI
musqueto-bites won't move him awav fr"m
his Masters business. ~"
Well,'what then? Why, just be easv-
Don't fret. The world will roll on eve,
If you can't get all the crotchets that are in
your head into all others. The world indpel
may not perish, if it should be suddenly d.
prived Of one or two OF your pet hobbies n
which you think so much, and on which yon
doat Sc tondly.
Now is best to be quiet. You can't MAKE
one hair white CT black, and the NEST Won
will do will be to make yourself very uucou.
Portable. Come, get right yourself, 50 that
little Bible won't capsize your lheory, and 50
that little plain truth won't 1ut YOU ina
fret.
Come, friends; just be good raturod that
face Of yours is long enough for two, and iud
Sng from appearances, one would think YOU
had been sucking lemons, or eating pickles for
q month. Now the best way is to feast On
something sweeer and better. Il you want
to love God. you nsust love your Brother also
and that too, even if you happen to know
more than ne does or even if By some mar
Vicious chance he should happen to know more
than you do! Don't knock his lantern to
atoms because it gives more or less light than
yours.
We think it's best to " be easy" don't YOU?
Well, let us try, then, and behave like kind
quiet followers Of Him who said-I am meek
and lowly in heart"

The utter uselessness Of the embargo on news
is strikingy exemplifed, in the intelligence
from Fortress Monroe. Great pains have been
taken to keep the Northern public ignorant that
large hody of troops had gone down the Po-
tomac to Fortress Monroe. Not word has been
allowed to come forward from that point to the
newspapers giving information of that fact
But now the censor allows us to be informed
from rebel papers which have reached the Fortress
that an immense army has been gathered there.
The rebels, Of course, bnew this fact immedi-
ately on the arrival of the troops, and did not
need to consult Northern papers to be apprised
of it. 1t could have done no possible harm to
the expedition to have informed the hundreds of
thousands Of friends of those who were in it,
something of its movements and its whereabouts
from time to time, without compelling them to
wait till the rebels print it. Such suppression
of news is not only dangerous as an assumption
of power on the part of the Government, but it
is in this, as in most cases, also absurd and ri
diculous.

The PREsIDENT.-Mr. Russell, IN his last
letter to the London Times, gives his opinion of
the President as follows
" AS the President now and then orders
movement, or tells some of his officers, at least,
to perform particular operation, it may
be conceived the results are not always in
accordance with the programme; but-as a
remark generally applicable to such interference
1t may be stated that the shre~dness and
natural sagacity Of Mr.. Lincoln are not more
landed by the navaI and military Men who are
brought in contact with him from their
departments, than his desire to make himself
acquainted with the merits and bearing OF every
expedition and movement, land the certainty with
which ne eventually grasps the details. He is a
fighting man, too. If his countrymen knew how
broadly and strongly he put down his foot,
on the surrender of Mason and Sldell they would
perhaps like him all the more, though he was
forced to give way, in spite of the arguments in
his projected stale paper on the subject. He
takes great interest in the operations in the
Western waters and States

Extraordinary Bank Robbery.

One of the most barefaced robberies we evel
heard of took place at St. Louis, Missouri, on
the 9th of March The chief actor was a
mere boy named Redman. The city being I'M
der martial law, and very sharp lookout being
kept after sccessloniss, the youngster forged
an order Of the Provost Marshal, asking mil
itary officer in command in the city for u squad
OF SIX men to aid IN the arrest of MIR. Hammer,
OF the firm of Hammer u Co., bankers, Oh a
charge of dsloyalty to the government Not
being altogether satisfied with the aspect Of the
Provost Alarshals signature to the request, the
officer applied to refused to detail the men An
other forgery enabled Redman to procure the
services OF a squad Of men from Wisconsin
regiment, who accompanied him to the banking
house, which Is situated In one OF the most
crowded OF the thoruughtares of the city. Sta
tlonng the guard at the door, Redman entered
and informed Mr.. Hammer that he was a prs-
oner. Mr.. Hammer asked an explanation.-
Ibis was refused him. and he was told to go in
stantly with the guard. The banker began to
put up his bills and gold, but that was what
The young scoundrel did not want above all
things, and accordingly he forbade it. Resist
ance onlv brought The guard with their brist-
ling bayonets, and Hammer, at the risk OF i'm
palem ent, threw what he could readily catch
up into the safe and locked it. On beng or.
dered 20 open it be refused. bat was obliged to
give up the key. The lock being a combination
one, Redman could not open it, although he
tried very hard. Hammer WAS commanded to
unlock the safe, but that he absolutely refused
TO do and was given over to the guard, who
took him to a place OF custody. Meanwhile
Redman gathered up what money was left
some $225O-and pocke>ed IT, lie then made
his way coolly through the crowd around the
door and effected his escape. He was subse-
quently caught, however, and 10 likely to meet
his deserts. -Boston Journal,

VIGOROUS AND PRoMPT-While detachment
of Gen. McCook's force was repairing bridge
destroyed by the rebels near Columbia Tenn,
they were fred upon by some rebels in ambush.
Gen. McCook sent word to Columbia that if
the act was repeated he would shell the town.
The rebels disregarded the warning, and fred
upon the bridge builders the next day, when
Gen. McCook was as good as his word, and
sheled the town for three hours. His men

The CHAPLAIN OF THE CUMBERLAND
Rev. j. l.. Lcnbart, who went down and per.
ished in the frigate Cumberland, at Fortress
Monroe, while discharging his duties as
minister Of Christ to the wounded and diving
men, was from Newark, N. j. The Daily
Advertiser of that city, says: 1T is Il re
markable circumstance in connection with
this gentleman, that in letter written on the
day previous to his death, to his agent, P. L
Cortelyou, ESQ.,, he used the following Ian
guage: 1t is as near my heavenly home from.
he old Cumberland as from any other place."

WlNCnEsTER-W Winchester is Just about 100
years behind the age--a dirty, slovenly, ILL pa
we'd, rickety. npainted-toul.smell town.
In all which 1t resembles every other town in
the State which we have visited. The democrat
izng influence of the" institution is everywhere
apparent. This lovely valley OF the Shenandoah
reminding the traveller OF the intervales on the
Connecticut, would, in Northern hands, be one
OF the most fourishing and thrifty counties in
the Union. Its railroad Is fair specimen of it's
present position and progress AS it is laid with
Old strap ralls-out of repair, of course-it will
only permit a speed of three to five miles an
an hour.
An officer IN the cars proceeding to Winches-
ter, expressed his astonshment that any people
IN this country would put up with such miser-
able affair. A Virginlan replied that they had
found 1t good enough for them, and strangers
were not asked to travel there. "Ah," said
the captain " that tells the whole story-you
are barbarous, and glory in your ignorance
young woman on the train, who, with a
number OF female friends, had been exhibiting
the reverse of good breeding, to say the least Of
1t, asked the same officer how the manners of
the Yankee girls compared with the style of the
Virginia ladies'. His answer was equally pol.
lshed and forbearing, and left his interocutor
entirely in the dark upon the subject. These
ladies must have been of condition above
their appearance, as they professed to own stock
in the railroad and slaves, but they were obtru-
slve, ill-tempered, and nowlse unassuming, ex.
pressing much anxiety to tear and scratch
Northern women.
The hotels are most miserable charges on
the scale Of Washington prices, and no accom-
mediation. At the TAYLOR House tin-ton hotaI
lively rebel hole, which would have been a
hospital before this, but for its excessive incon-
venience and dirt, there is great difficulty in
getting anything to eat, OF room to sleep in,
and If possible, other houses are worse. OF
private accommodations there is short supply.
AS a general thing the natives shun the inva-
ders, those who do not do iton principle making
it their policy. The Union men speak of and
look forward to day of retributon on their
rebel ncighbors, when an effort will be made to
clear up some of the scores existing between
them, independent of those made by tho Gov
eminent for its re establishment.
