ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.
On Wednesday evening Officers Cornish and
Humphreys of the Nineteenth Precinct, while on
duty in the vicinity of Fiftythird-st. and First
ave-, were met by II Mrs. OCUnncr who inform
ed them that n short time previous she had seen
four young men 20 down the street toward the
East River,
One Of the number seemed to be very much
intoxicated, and was forced along by his compan-
ions. He seemed to be rather better dressed than
his companions, and she was apprehcnsive that
they intended to rob him. The woman had
scarcely completed her statement when her little
daughter ran up and informed her that the men
mentioned had thrown their companion into the
river at the foot of Fiity-secondst., having first
robbed him Of his watch, money, and portion Of
his clothing.
On hearing this latter statement the officers
once ran to the place indicated and there found
tho man mentioned in the water partly dressed
and holding to plank. He was rescued with
some difficulty in an insensible condition. and
taken to the satOn-hOuse by one of the officers I;
the other, procuring the assistance Of some tel-
low-otllcers started IN pursuit Of the mlscreants,
having been informed by some children, who had
witnessed the robbery, that the men had gone
across some open lots, in the direction OF Forty
seCOnd-st.
After proceeding short distance they overlook
and arrested John D0nohue, aged % years, Pat
rick Conner, aged u years, and Michael McGuire,
aged 20 years. All were natives of Ireland. They
were identified by the children as the men who
had thrown the young man into the water and
were locked up in the staton-house for the night.
In the meantime DR.. Wallace had been summon
ed, and, after the lapse of an hour, he succeeded
in restoring the victim Of the rutllans' violence to
consciousness. On rcgaining his senses, the young
man stated that his name was John Jones, and
that he resided at No. 2l5 Division-st. lie iden-
titled the men ut once as those who had robbed
him. Yesterday they were committed for trial by
Justice Connolly.

RANDOM THOUGHTS Nos. 39, IF.

There was a circus In this place on last Thurs
day Soon in the morning the people began to
come in. The first business OF the day was man
mounting box in front of the Commercial Block,
and trying TO sell cholera medicine. He did not
humbug many. / went to the show ground be
fore noon. The side show consisted of the fat
children, the hairless mare the man with the long
beard, and the boa constructor. man with hat
having a very broad brim, set a parrot upon a
stake in front of his curtains. The parrot looked
sleepy, but the man cxtolled the wonders of his
show. All the showmen were butternuts, but
they had many American flags about their con-
cern, and the organ in the side show ground away
at the Star spangled Banner for hours.
went into the circus. 1t was rather better
than the average. The clown got off ono old
smutty story that Is entirely too indecent to re-
peat here and l claim not to be over modest; yet
this dirty story was repeated in the presence of
perhaps two thousand persons, at least one half
of them being women.
Before the show commenced noticed young
man dancing and cutting up. Sheriff Wilson
made an effort to quiet him, but the lightning
whisky that was In him kepthm wiggng. Steve
Reasoner who was special policeman, persuaded
him to sit down. As long as Steve used the NOR

that time big Snowman came up and took the
whisky q mean the fellow by the napc of the
neck, and he and Steve led the two (the whisky

This Is the time to try mems souls. Ii the cop
perhcads of the North can succeed In Glectlng
enough members of the next Congress, when add
ed to those from the rebel States, to make major
iy tnen all those rebels will be recognized by the
President as the legal Congress, aud the real Con
gress will be treated just as the loyal convention
was treated In New Orleans. But, says our en-
thusiastic friend, there Is no danger of that Why
not2 See how men are falling by the way.
When the war broke out John A. Dix of New
York said that If any man hauls down the Ameri-
can Flag, shoot him on thespot. Last week when
the eunuchs met at Philadelphia, this same John
A. Dix said In substance, that all men are traitors
who oppose the admission Of southern traitors into
Congress, to take charge of the Government they
faed to destroy by four years of desperate, bloody
war; only give this man Dix as specimen.
Such men are found oil over the country, and there
are two or three such In jackson county. Esau
wOs out hunting, and got hungry. He sold his
blrth.right.-his fathers blCsslng-all his hopes of
the future, for a miserable mess Of pottagc, to
crafty his immediate desires. Afterwards, when
In accordance with his own contract, his blessing
which he had sold so chcaply, was bestowed upon
his brother, he cried in the bitter anguish of his
| soul.
"Bless me, even me also, Omy father! And
Esau lifted up his voice. and wept."
When the men who are now offering to sell
their self respect their consistency, their common
deccncy, for the petty position of deputy col
lector, or deputy assessor or deputy postmaster,
come to see what they have done, they, like Esau,
will lift up their voices and weep. Let all such
bo remembered Now Is the time for all true men
to stand firmly. Those who go back to the rebel
Democracy, after getting oil the Offices they can
hope for with the Union party-those who bolt
those who are even lukcwarm at this terrible crl-
sis, must be marked for all time. The man who
Ia traitor to the Union party now, Is more dan
gorous than the traitor who hauled down the
American Flag and tramped II in the dust during
the rebellion. We have such men In our midst.
Let them be compelled to show their colors Let
them be smoked out. lie who Is not for us Is
against US. If our country is undone let those
who are guilty bear the responsibility. ID. NJ.

A drunken individual on Thursday night, fell
into the vault of the privy at the Union Depot,
and owing to the stupor produced by the liquor
and the filth into which he had plunged, he was
with difficulty rescued. He could not be made to
grasp rope, and had to be booKed up on the fish
plan. After the free use Of cold water, dashed
upon him after his rescue he was pronounced
duly sober, and proper subject for the consider
alton of the Board of Health.

NV WIFE AND CHILD.

The camp around in slumber lies,
TIE night With solemn pace moves on,
The shadows thicken DER the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
Aud sad uneasy thoughts arise.
think Of thee. oh, dearest one,
Whose love my early life hath blest-
Ol thee and hiin-our baby sOn--
Who slumbers Oh thy gentle breast;
God of the tender, frail and lone,
Oh, guard the tender s!eeperS' rest.
And hover gently, hover near
To her. whose watchiul eye is vet
To mother, wife--the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love SO deep and clear.
And cheer her dropping spirits yet.
Now, whils she kneels before Thy Throne,
Oh, teach her, Ruler OF the skies,
That while by thy behest aloEe,
Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise,
No tear is wept TO thee unknown.
No hair is lost, no sparrow dies.
That Thou can'st stay the ruthless hands
Ofdark disease, and sooth is pain;
That only by thy stern commands
The battle Z lost, the soldiers slain
That from the distant sea or land.
Thou briDg'st the wandcrcr home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear wet check is sadly rrcst,
Nav happier visions beam upon
The Frightening current of her brcat;
No irowning look or angry tone,
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest.
Whatever fate those forms may chow,
Loved with passion almost Wild
By day--by night--in JOY or woe
By fear oppressed, or hopes beSuiled,
From every danger, every foe,
Oh, God! protect my wife and child.

BY ]. G. WHITTIER.
In the old days, Ia custom laid aside
With breeches and cooked hats, the people sent
Their w;sest men to make the public laws.
Ands 50, from a brown homestead, where the Sound
Drinks the small tribute of the Mianas,
waved over by the woods OF Rippowams,
And hallowedby pure lives and Tranquil deaths,
Stamford sent up to the councils OF the Stale
wisdom and grace in Abraham Davenport.
Twas on May-day OF the far old year
Seventeen hundred eighty, that there tell
over the bloom and sweet life OF the Spring,
Over the fresh earth and the heaven OF noon,j
horror OF great darkness, like the night
IA Gay ~ Of which tho Norland sages tell
The Twilight OF the Gods. The low-hung sky
Was black with ominous Clouds save where Its rim
Was tinged with dull glow, like that which climbs
The crater's sides from the red hell below.
Birds ceased to sing, and all the barn-yard fowls
BOOSTED; the cattle at the pasture bars
Lowed. and looked homeward; bats on leathern
wings
Fitted abroad; the sounds of labor died;
Men prayed. and women wept; all ears grew sharp
70 hear the doom-blast of the trumpet shatter
Might look from the rent clouds, not as he looked
loving guest at Bethany, but stern,
AsJustico and memorable Law.
Meanwhile in the old State House. dim as ghosts,
Sat the lawgivers Of Connecticut,
Trembling beneath their legislative robes

Some said; and then, as ii with one accord,
All eyes were turned to Abraham Davenport.
lie rose, SLOW cleaVmg with his steady voice
The intolerable hush: 'sThis well may be
The Day of Judgment which the world awaits;
But belt so or not, 1 only know
My present duty, aud my Lords command

Where he hath set me in his providence,

No faithless servant frightened from my task,
But ready when the Lord of the harvest CALI
And therefore, with all reverence, / would say,
Let God do his work. we will see to ours.

Then by the faring light the Speaker read,
Albeit with husky voice and shaking hands,
An act to amend an act to regula
The shad and alewive fisheries. Whereupon
Wisely and well spake Abraham Davenport,
Straight TO the question with figures of speech
Save the nine Arab signs, yet not without
The shrewd dry humor natural to the man;
His awe struck colleagues listening all the while,
Between the pauses OF his argument,
To hear the thunder of the wrath of God
Break from the hollow trumpet of the cloud
And there he stands in memory to this day.
Erect self-poised, rugged face, half seen
sainst che background of unnatural dark,
A witness to the ages as they pass,
That simple duty hath no place for fear.
