Thieves in Winchester.

Last week a thief entered, at night, the res
idence of Geo. G. Yeakle and stole valuable
ladys watch and other ie"elry.
On the same night, as we learn from the
Winchester Ne,os, the residence of MIR. Marcus
SPOTS was entered, and his clothes carried out
of the house, into the yard, and rifed. Mr..
SPOTS on returning home, having large sum
of money in his pockets, and intending to have
his pantaloons repaired, took them off, at the
same time removing his money and placing it
in bed under his head. So the thief was
foiled, but the mystery is how he knew that
Mr.. Spots had such sum of money on his
person.

Love will Danish Care.

A tired woman Eushed to sleep her
babe. Beauty once made her face radiant,
perhaps, but all that beauty is gone now.
The blue eye is dim and faded-the pale
brow is covered with lines Of care Perhaps,
with that far-of look Of hers, she sees three
little graves, green with as many summers.
Her home is very humble. All day she
had toiled, and the fainting spirit almost
surrenders to fatigue-the dOwncast eyes
trembling with tears-she is SO weary. And
every nerve tinges when these boys come
hungry from school-some with a tale OF
sorrow, that mother must hear.
And after that they are hushed with
kisses or chidings, it is time to get supper
for seven hungry mouths, and the accustom-
ed never-endings of putting away and clear
ing up, till the worn-out creature wonders,
with sigh, if there really will come rest to
her-an eternal rest.
AT last she can seat her wearied limbs in
the old corner rocking chair.
The babe, whose eyes close fitfully to the
low lullaby, lies in its fathers lap.
He is plain man, that good father, With
an honest face and great heart, that would
take in all the care and sorrow Of the house
hold.
The babe sleeps. With a rude gentle
ness he lays it upon his mothers bosom,
