A TRIBUTE TO OLD MAIDS.

In little work entitled "Our Peculari-
ties," by Viscountess Combermere, is the
following fine tribute to old maids:
These single women, whom it is the cant
Of society TO ridicule, may have often post
poned their own settlement in life from the
highest motives: flial devotion has, perhaps,
engrossed them so entirely in early life,
that no selfish object diverted them from its
holy duties. 1t was sufficient to satisfy
affection and to supersede home; for the
devoted, generous child, from the intensity
of her love, has felt that the future must
eyer be blank, when the interest that en-
crosses the present is removed by DEATH
and this dreary prospect adds another
motive TO her tenderness.
Unseliish as woman is under all circum
stances, she is here more regardless o.
herself than in any other position. Ir
married life she yields to her husband, WHIT
is her support and companion till death; tt
her children she looks for affection in age
but no consideration of future happiness o
present pleasure encourages the patient
daughter, as she watches day and mig int the
invalid mother, or the decrerit father
Here is the purest love unsullied by Oh
sensual thought as to Its origin or object
No instinct prompts it, no animal impuls
strengthens it; the holiest feeling that fill
the human heart, it yields only in purit
to the will of God"

ROBBERY.

We learn that on the night Of the 24th
ult., three men, mounted upon hourses, went
to the residence Of Mr.. M. c. Hays, south
west of Cambridge about eight miles, and
robbed Mr.. Hays and two sons Of about
sixty dollars. 1t is case of the most
glaring and damnable robbery. The rob-
bers, after having satisfied themselves that
there was no more money about the
premises, fred into the house, woundine
Mr.. Hays two sons, and then remounted
their horses and scampered off westward
Our informant, good Unionist and veteran
soldier, thinks the robbery was committed
by dsbanded militiamen, some Of whom, we
are sorry to say, have become too lazy tc
work, and are prowling about over the
country stealing for living. Saline Pro

FUTURE HoUsEKEEPING.-We sometimes
catch ourselves wondering how many Of
the young ladies whom we meet with are
to perform the part of housekeepers when
the young men who now eye them SO ad.
miringly have persuaded them TO become
their wives. We listen to those young
ladies Of whom we speak, and hear them
not only acknowledging, but boasting, of
their ignorance of all household duties, as if
nothing would so lower them in the estima-
tion Of their friends as the confession Of
an ability to make bread and pies, or cook
piece of meat, or disposition to engage
in any useful employment. Speaking from
our own youthful recolections we are free
to say that taper fingers and lilly hands are
very pretty to look at with young mans
eyes, and sometimes we have known the
artless innocence Of practical knowledge
displayed by young missto appear rather
interesting than otherwise. But we have
lived long enough to learn that life is full
of rugged experiences, and that the most
loving, romantic and delicate people must
live on cooked or otherwise prepared food
and the house kept clean and tidy by in.
dustrious hands. And for all the practical
purposes of married life it is generally
found that for husband to sit and gaze a,
q wife's taper fingers and lilly hands, OIL
for wife 10 sit and be looked at ant
admired, does no. make the pot boil, or pu
the smallest piece of food therein.

There was lively free fight at Perry

ex.soldier named Barber had been guilty Of
breach of the peace, and was fined fifteen
dollars and costs. He said he wouldn't
pay it, and his friends said they would not
see returned soldier s'jugged" merely
because he was too poor TO pay his fine
The constable called in the whole town as a
posse. The posse came in but it was
found that they divided off after coming in

Mr.. Richardson concludes his last letter
to the Tribune, from the silver region of
Nevada as follows "Neyada has turned
out about $60,000,000 in bullion, and is
now producing nearly 500, 100000 annually.
Bishop Simpson is convinced that our silver
resources are sufficient TO pay off National
debt Of twenty billions; present each return
ed soldier of the Union, with silver
musket, and then plate all our war vessels
with silver thicker than they are now
sheathed with iron. 1t is certain that our
