4 WFifa,s Leye.

Woman's love, like the rose b!ossoming in
the arid desert, spreads its ray over the bar
rem plain of the human heart, and while all
around it is black and desolate, it rises
strengthened from the absence of every other
charm. In no situation does the love of a
woman appear more beautiful than that of
the wife. Parents, brethren and friends
have claims upon the affections the love
of a wife is distinct and different nature.
A daughter may yield her life to the pres
ervation Of a parent sister may devote
herself to a suffering brother; but the feel
ings which induce her to this conduct are
not such as those which lead wife to follow
the husband of her choice through every
pain and peril that can befall him to watch
over him in danger, to cheer him in adver-
sity, and ever remain uualtcrable at his side
in the depths of ignominy and shame. IL
is heroic devotion which a woman displays
in adherence to the fortunes Of a hapless
husband. When We behold her in domestic
scenes, mere passive creature of enjoyment
an intellectual JOY, Frightening the family
with her endearmcnts are calculated to I'M,
part, we can scarcely credit that the fragile
being who seems to hold her existence by IA
thread is capable of supporting the extreme
of human suffering; nay, whom the heart of
man sinks beneath the weight Of agony,
that she should maintain her prcstino pow
ers Of delight, and by her words OF comfort
and patience, lead the nurmurcr to peace and
resivnat ion

HEAVY ROBBERY.
KELLER's GUN STORE BROKEN INT
Recovery of Most of the Articles


The gun store of Charles Keller,
on Main Streer, between Third and
Fourth, was broken into yesterday
morning, between two and six o'clock,
while -Buehner & Co.'s chair factory
was burning. The burglars effected
an entrance by cutting out the parti-
ton next to the stairway that
leads to Captain Reavis' Office.
They bored fifty-nine holes with
small bitt, and succeeded in taking
the pieces of partition out with
chisel. leaving a hole large enough
for a small. sized man to crawl
through. They carried off about $500
worth of pistols. knives, razors, &C.,
and got out through the back door.
Ii is supposed by some that a
boy was sent in first, and that he
opened the back door and let the
other burglars in. Several persons
were arrested yesterday, who are
charged with completely in the rob-
berry, but the men who were engaged
in the affair have not yet been arrest
ed. John Ragan, young thief who
has been arrested several times before,
was gobbled early in the morning by
the police, and on his person was
found a new pen knife, similar to
some that had been stolen from Mr..
Keller. In the evening, Sheriff Miller
arrested John Leonard and two other
boys, to whom suspicion points very
strongly. The two boys arrested with
Leonard are the sons of respectable
parents, in this city, and We withhold
their names for the present; they
were released on bail to appear
this morning. John Leonard was
lodged in Jail. The police were in
hot pursuit of the men engaged in
the affair, and Tom. Royston, Geo.
Robinson and Gus. Siefert, followed
three of them to Jacobs grocery, near
the depot. The rascals knew they
were pursued, and when they entered
the grocery they shut the door, spring
ing the catch in the lock. The police
rushed in as soon as possible, but the
thieves lodged out the back way,
jumping high fence, and getting a
considerable start of the officers
They run in different directions, the
police following them, but by lodging
through alleys the seoundrels man
aged to elude their pursuers.
Yesterday afternoon, part of the ar
ticles stolen were found in the stable
of Altering & Brommelhaus, by Gus
Keeper, who drives a team for the
firm mentioned above. He went to
