Letter of John Wilkes Booth.

The following verbatim copy of a
letter, in writing, which is the hand
writing of John Wilkes Booth, the
murderer of President Lincoln, has
been furnished us by the Hon. will
liam Milward, United States Mar
Shal of the Eastern District of Pei, n
sylvania. 1t was handed over to
that officer by John s. Clarke, who
is a bother in-law of Mr.. Booth.
The history connected with it is
somewhat peculiar. In November,
1864, the paper was deposited with
Mr.. Clarke by Booth, in II sealed en-
velopp, for safe keeping" Mr.
Clarke being ignorant of the con-
tents. In January last, Booth called
at Mr.. Clarke's house, asked for the
package and it was given up to him
1t is now supposed that at that time
he took out the paper and added t.
it his signature, which appears to bG
in a different ink from that used in
the body Of the letter, and also from
the language employed could moi
have been put to it originally. AT
terward he returned the plckage t.
Mr. Clarke again for safe keeping
sealed and bearing the superscrip
tion -. Wilkes BOoth.'
The Enclosure was preserved by tn
family without suspicion of its ma
ture. After the affecting informa
ton of the assassination of the Presi
dent, which came upon the family @

Learn a Trade.

Stephen Girard had a favorito
clerk. and he always said "he in
tended to do well by Ben Lippincott."
So when Ben got to be twenty one
he expected to hear the "governor
say something Of his future prospects.
and perhaps lend a helping hand in
starting in the world. But the old
fox carefully avoided the subject.
Ben mustered courage:
81 suppose I am now free, SIR"
said he, "aud l thought I would say
something to you as to my course.
What do you think had better do ?"
"Yes, yes, l know you are" said
the millionaire ga and my advice is
that you so aud learn the cooper
trade"
This piece of advice nearly froze
Ben out; but recovering his equili-
brium he said if Mr.. Girard was in
earnest he would do so.
"I am III earnest" and Ben forth
with sought the best cooper in
Spring Garden, became an appren-
tice, and in due time could make az
good a barrel as the best.
He announced to old Stephen that
be had graduated and was ready to
set up in business. The old man
seemed gratifed, and forthwith
ordered three of the best barrels he
could turn out. Ben did his pret-
, test, and wheeled them up to his
counting room. Mr.. Girard pro
, nounced them first rate, and demand
; ed the price
"One dollar" said Ben, "is az
cheap as can can live by
/ "Cheap enough make out your
bill"
: The bill was made out, and old
. Stephen settled it with a check fol
} twenty thousand dollars, which lie

to the story
e There, take that, and invest it
1 IN the best possible manner; and il
' you are unfortunate and lose it, you

FLOATING THOUGHTS.

Say what are all those glorious dreams
That shed halo o'er our youth
Those gilded years, those sunshine CLEANS
A living lie, living truthl
Like houses built ou melting snow,
Like tears dissolving as they how2
And what are beauty's boasted powers?
What are the bonds which chain the heart
But sleader, fading summer flowers,
But chords that Tibrate as they part.
And what the visions thai are rife
In every brain, which each reVolyes?
A mirage on the plain Of life
An image which the breeze dissolves
What is that peace that lovers haste
To whisper with such burning breath :?
A peace that leaves the heart a waste,
peace which is the peace of death

SPEAK GENTLY TO THY WIFE.

Speak gently, kindly to thy wife,
She knows enough oi.sorrow;
Oh, seek not from each little i'll
An angry word to borrow.
The early light of household love
Has more than golden worth,
Which from her heart one smile of thine
Can call in beauty forth.
When thou art distant, stern and cold,
And through harsh words of thine,
Its sunny rays of gentleness
At home may never shine.
Upon the heart such cold words fall
And chill loves tender life;
Oh ever, when home trials come,
Speak gently to thy wife.
Far nobler in life's battle scene
Is he who breasts the storm
With ma..ly courage when abroad,
And loving words at home,
Than he who, groveling all his days,
A traitor<to his kind,
A petty tyrant proves at home,
The meanest of his kind.

TRUE NoBLEMEN.

The noblest men know on earth,
Are men, whose hands are brown with toll
Who, backed by no ancestral graves,
Now down the woods and till the soil,
And win thereby prouder fame
Than follows king or warriors name.
The working men, whate'er their task,
To carve the stone or bear the hod-
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God
Aud brighter are the drops of sweat
Than diamonds in a coronet
God bless the noble working men.
Who rear the cities of the plain
Who dig the mines and build the ships.
And drive the commerce Of the main;
God bless them for their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glcry of our lands.

MY LOVERS TWAIN.

Ax LUfEhS TWAIN.
My lovers twain-my lovers twain.
pray you let me be!
To wed you both would be fain,
Only that may not be.
One lover is like music sweet,
That steals my heart away;
And one is like the trumpet blast
Which calls me to the fray.
One is of gentle, courteous mind,
To low and high degree
And one is stern aud harsh Of mood,
And meltcth but to me.
One is so strangely lovable,
That but to touch his hand
Do women kneel-before the one
Do men uncovered stand.
Aud if this one do not wed,
He never wife will seek;
And if that one ! do not wed
He sorroweth a week.
My lovers twain-my lovers twain,
Ye should have let me be;
love the one with all my heart
The other loveth me.

Tribute of Respect.

At the last Quarterly Meeting of the Board
of Directors Of the South Carolina Railroad Conn.,
pany, the following Preamble and Resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
The Board Of Directors Of the South Carolina
Railroad Company profoundly sensible OF the loss
which the company has sustained by the death OF
Mr. JAMES ROSE, and the void that has been
made among themselves, now place upon record
the expression OF unfeigned sorrow which this
sad event has caused them.
Educated for q life OF case rather than activity,
and with q fortune that removed all barriers to
its indulgence, Mr. ROSES tastes and inclinations
led him to the more active and useful pursuits OF
life. In It's cause he discharged with ability and
zeal the duties OF State senator OF acting presl-
dent of the Bank or the State on the death OF
Judge ColcocE, and until within few weeks Of his
death, OF president OF the Southwestern Railroad
Bank. For many years director OF this COM
pany, he exhibited at all times jealous interest
in its affairs and participated largely in its man
agement Reserved in his manners, but courte-
Gus, generous, liberal in sentiment, and imbued
with high sense OF right, lie won popularity
without seeking 1t, and commanded anu retained
the confidence OF all who knew him. Therefore,
ReSolred. That in the death of Mr.. ROSE, this
company has lost an able and faithful counsellor
and this board valued and esteemed associate.
ReSOlred That copy of these proceedings be
published in the journals OF the city, and copy
sent to his family, with the sympathles OF the
directors in their bereavement

for the night at the above point. Whilst the
mother and father OF the family were engaged in
preparing the bed for the family, and the children
assembled around the campfire, some heartless
wretch, mounted on an iron-gray horse, rode up
to the camp and without the least provocation,
drew his pistol and commencedl firing into the
encampment. He discharged two Shots one Of
which took effect in the hip Of little girl about
six wears Of age standing by the campfire. The
base wretch then rode OF, without the least eX-
planation as to who he was, or what prompted
his infamous act The father Of the family pur-
sued him, but was unable to overtake him or as
certain his name The family reached here this
morning with their wounded child, whose wounds
received attention from the faculty OF the Medical
CoHGSe. Although not necessarily fatal, the
wound sustained by the little child is OF quite
serious character the ball entering in the vicinity
of one hip and passing to the other"

ATTEMPTED EscAPE.-On Friday while the
prisoners who had been sentenced were being
taken from the Courthouse to the Jail, two OF
them, Joe Bailey and Wilson Goodwin, who had
been sentenced to terms OF four and three years
in the penitentiary, endeavored to effect their
escape. Before leaving the Jail Bailey had filled
his pockets with flour, and when in Queen street,
near Archdale, he adroitly threw this in the con-
stables face, and together with Goodwin COM
menced measuring the ground at lively rate Of
speed. Pursuit was at once made, and pistol
shots fired, one Of which struck Bailey in the fore
head, and stopped his course. Goodwin turned
and doubled, and led his pursuers long chase,
but was finally brought to by ball in the heel
Seven shots were fred and considerable excite
ment created as the the streets were filed with
people who might have been injured.

A GREAT woRK.-Websters Quarto Diction-
ary has passed through various editions;each an
improvement upon and an enlargement Of the
preceding, until 1t has eliminated in the present
magnificent literary and linguistic fabric. The
reputation OF this work is not confined to Amerl-
ca. We find it stated that in the Alexandra case,
tried in the Court OF Exchequer at Westminster
Hall, under purely English law, no other diction-
AIRY, English or American, was quoted or alluded
to than his. The Lord Chief Baron, in his decision,
pronounced "webster's Dictionary work OF the
greatest learning research and ability" Besides
the numerous Illustrations with which the volume
is interspersed, there are at the end sixty-seven
pages OF the most finished pictorial Illustrations,
representing almost every conceivable object in
nature, science and at. That this splendid work
is issued from the famous Riverside Press Is all
that need be said in commendation Of its typo
graphical execution.
