" ednesday terminate d in favor of the St. George
Club. On Wednesday The ST. George made 1855 in
Their first innings, Wrights SO, Wnfieid's %, and
RobDsons 20 beng the most noteworthy features
OF the days play. In their first innings the Phia
Gelphans obtained but 40 and in their second tney
had secured 80 luns with three wlckets down, when
game was called tor the day. Yesterday, nOtwlth-
standing the unpTOpitiOus state of the weather the
samo was resumed at oc ock, and when the last
wicket went down the Phlladelphians had run up
the respectable OF 10S tor their second innings
making their total 157.
St George having four runs to get to win, Gordon
and GisDorne went to the bat. After wide ball
and bye, the former made a slashing square leg
hit from which he obtained the required IOur runs,
the St, George thus winning the match BY ten
wickets, In the first days play, Winfield made
splendid catch from square-leR hit by Cad Walader
winch was O beauty. Darnshaw's wicket Keeping
was very weak on Wednesday, and he lost several
chances to stump Jarvis and west Winfield IS
unquestionably the best player for this position in
the st. George Club, and We were surprised to see
him play anywhere else in this match rhe Phila-
delphlans were treated in very kospitable manner
on both days, and the social enjoyment very
great. Hhe score IS as ollows;-

A poor man lived near Deacon Murray re
ferred to in the tract ''Worth Dollar" +" and
occasionally called at his house for supply
of milk One morning he came when the
family were at breakfast. Mrs Murray rose
to wait on him, but the deacon said to her,
''wait till after breakfast" She did so, and
meantime the deacon made some inquiries
of the man about his family and circum-
stances. After family worship the deacon
invited him to go out to the barn with him.
When they got into the yard the deacon,
pointing to one of the cows, exclaimed,
"There, take that COW and drive her home. y
The man thanked. him heartily for the COW,
and started for home, but the deacon was
observed to stand in the attitude of deeI

He then looked up, and called out, "Iey
bring that COW back" The man looked
around, and the deacon added, LET tina

A PERSISTENT SUIcIDE.-There is living
at one OF the hotels in this city young
lady of about ninteen years of age, comely
in her appearance, and prepossessing in her
manner, and very popular with all who
knew her, who, the last two months, has
made several attempts on her own life by
taking laudanum and other poisons, and on
one occasion took a carving knife for the
purpose of putting an end to her real or i'm
aginary troubles by disposing of hcrinnocent
life She is daughter Of Physician formerly
| of Little Rock, and some have conjectured
| that her attempts to " shove off her mortal
coil' have evidently arisen from her changed
condition in life, from her being compelled
to wait upon others instead of having others
TO wait upon her, She keeps the motive of
her course TO herself although it is conjec-
tured that family difficulties are the cause Of
her despondenoy. AT present she is quite
low. and has had numerous spasms, arising
| from the effects. of the poison she has at
various times, taken into her stomach. In
her mysterious afiiiction she has the heart
felt sympathy ofker friends, and It is to be
hoped that, when she does recover, she will
take more hopeful view OF her future pros
pects and of human life,-Terre Haaie Jour.

WHERE THERE is A WILL THERE'S
AWAY.


1t was II noble Roman,
In Rome's Imperial day,
Who heard a coward croaker,
Before the battle say;
They're safe in such fortress;
There is no way to shake it."
"On! on" exclaimed the hero,
''I'll find way or make III"
Is fame your aspiration
Her path is steep and high;
In vain he seeks the temple,
Content to gaze and sight
The shining throne is waiting,
But he alone can take it,
Who says with Roman flrmness:
"I'll find a way or make it p
Is learning your ambitiong
There is no royal road;
Alike the peer and peasant
Must climb to her abode.
Who feel the thirst for knowledge
In Helicon may slake it,
If he has but the Roman will
To "find a way or make itr'
Are riches worth the getting2
They must be bravely sought;
With wishing and with fretting
The boon cannot be bought;
To all the prize is open,
But only he can take it,
Who says with Roman courage,
"I'll find a way OF make itl''
In Loves impassioned warfare,
The tale has ever been
That victory crowns the valiant,
The brave are they who win;
Though strong is beauty's castle,
A lover still may take it,
Who says with Roman daring,
"I'll find a way or make itr'

LIVES LOST BY THE REBELLIoN.-The
War Department computes the number Of
deaths in the Union armies since the COM
mcncement of the war at 25O, 1000, and of the
Southern soldiers at least 925,00O, making
at least 5000, lives that have been lost, a
part of the costly price paid for the defense
of the nations life. At Gettysburg $4,000
Union soldiers were killed, wounded or
taken prisoneTs-our greatest loss during
one campaign. General Grants losses, from
the time he crossed the Rapidan until Lees
surrender, were about 10000. Great as

MORE PosT OFFICE ROBBERY. = About
three months ago losses of small sums of
money were noticed at the Post Office in
this city. Gradually complaints became
more frequent, until, at length, Postmaster
Bowen determined to act as his own detec-
tive Without communicating his designs
to any one, he extended his observations
more closely than ever into every nook and
corner, scanning closely the movements Of
every man in his employ, and giving weighty
consideration to any slight deviation which
he discovered. Accordingly, circumstances
soon elected attention TO one of his young
letter carriers one who had been most
highly recommended to him fof the position.
A decoy-letter was quietly put aloat, and
from that period until yesterday no day has
passed without that carrier having in his
hands such a letter, and suspicion being
daily strengthened. At length suspicion
became certain. The young man was asked
about certain letters-he positively denied
any knowledge of them, when, at the very
moment of denial, it was known they wert
in his possession. The Postmaster then in
formed him that he would have him arrested
and the young man felt that falsehood ant
duplicity would no longer avail him. II,
proposed private interview with Mr.
Bowen, and then he voluntarily made ful
: confession. Bull is suspended from duty
, his bond being retained, and the matter i
, referred to the depreciation branch of tn
