The Richmond Dispatch says: Private
intelligence lately received in Richmond
from New York represents the money mar
ket there as much more stringent than
mightbeinferredfrom newspaper accounts-
The money market was exceedingly tight
Monday, and stocks generally, except
United States stocks, declined from three
to four per cent. -
The recent money panic in wall street
has been ezeee0ingly damaging, not only
to stock gamblers, but to many operators
So rapid was the decline that many parties
were forced to allow themselves to be sold
out, being unable to provide, in time, the
necessary margins to carry their stocks.
In a few. days, leading fell from ten. to
twenty-five per cent, aud one fancy stock,
Cumberland Coal, declined hlty-eight.-

The DiaIigent Woman.

She riseth in the morning betimes, and
as the lark singeth to his mate, so she
malzeth a joyful noise in all her house.
She maketh up her bed, and beateth
the pillows thereof; and like as an eagle
stirreth up her nest, SO she stirreth up the
feathers, and spreadeth on the sheets, and
layeth the blankets apart.
She layeth her hand to the wash tub
and rubbeth upon the board, making clean
the fine linen her hands take fast hold
Of the wringer, and by turning the crank
the water thereof is pressed out.
She clotheth her family with pure gar
ments when she has made them smooth
with hot iron, and by reason thereof her
husband is made comely when he setteth
among the chief men, or walketh in the
market places.
She kneadeth up her dough and baketh
goodly cake for her household, and te
every one she giveth piees of bread and
butter Of kline.
She provideth her dinner in due sea
son, and supper faileth not when the good
lilaH fetafHeth, at the end Oh the Gay
weary with his labors and the strife O
men.
She looketh well to the ways Of hel
household : and scorneth the idle woman
witt her delicate hands, who idle in bee
and calleth servant.

A GIFT TO THE PooR--A London po-
liceman having claim for s750,000 APP
piled to lawyer to institute legal pro-
ceedings for its recovery. The lawyer
took charge Of the case, making it a con
dition that, in case Of success, the .elai-
mant should give $l25,Oo0 to the Lon
don hospitals, and s125;000 to his poor
relatives. The case was gained, and the
policeman has performed both conditions,
considering the 100000 left him an am
pie fortune to satisfy the wants Of man
who for all his previous life had scarcely
had any fortune at all.
TEMpTATIoN.-One end that God has
in permitting bis people to be tempted is,
for. the prevention Of greater evils, thas
they may not grow proud OF careless Or be
ensnared by the corrupt customs Of the
world The light carriage, vain confidence,
and inconsistent conduct Of many profess
sed Christians, might have been, in some
measure, prevented, had they been more
acquainted with this spiritual warfare, and
had they drunk of the cup of temptation,
which but few of those who walk hunbly
and uprightly are exempted from tasting
the bitterness Of, though not all in tia
same degree.-Rev. John Nesotoa.

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-During the
past week the weather has been cold and dry,
and favorable for blowing and sowing The
spring has been an uncommonly late one, an
farmers are very much behind with their work.
On Saturday last we took trip thror gh the
northern portion of the county, and found that
very few farmers had finished sowing their
spring wheat This week, however, will fn-
ish up the wheat sowing. The breadth of
wheat sown this, spring, we believe, will be
greater than for number of years past. What
few pieces Of winter wheat and rye we saw
looked very fine, but comparatively little Of
This kind of grain is now raised in this county.
Farmers prefer to raise spring wheat rather than
to take their chances on winter wheat.
