KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD.-Pay
70 attention to slanderers Or gos-
sip-mongers. Keep straight on
your course, ard let their back
bitings die the death Of neglect.
What is the use lying awake
nights, brooding over the re-
marks of some false friend, that
runs through your brain like
forked lightning? What's the
use Of getting into . worry and
fret over gossip that has been set
a0oat to your disadvantage, by
some meddlesome busybody,
who has more time than charac-
ter. These things can't possibly
in.ure you, unless, indeed, you
take notice of them, and in COM
batting them, give them character
and standing. If what is said
about you is true, set yourself
right at once > if.itis false, let it
60 for. what it will fetch. If a
bee stings you, would you goJto
the hive, and destroyit? Would
not a thousand come upon you?
1t is wisdom to say little respect
ing the injuries YOU have receiv-
ed. We are generally losers, in
the end, if we stop to refate all
the backbitings aud gossips We
may hear by the way. They are
annoying, il is true. but not dan

ASSASSINATION.

The assassination Of Edward
Gallegar, OH the evening of the
10th instant. constitutes another
OF those terrible episodes in the
history of our parish, calculated
to send a chill of horror to the
heart Of every rejecting citizen.

life Of . planter, mingling but
little with the outer world, and
taking no part in politics, he was
one Of the last men against whom
it could be supposed the hand Of
the assassin would be turned.
But on the evening mentioned.
about 7 o'clock, he was waylaid
in his own field, but short dis
tancc from his house, and his
body literally riddled with buck
shot. He survived but a few
minutes, and was unable to tell
who had committed the foul deed.
He was q quiet, peaceable gen.

beginning to inquire, where shall
this state of things ter'ni'.ate :
and feeling Of insecurity is be
coming universal. even among
the stoutest hearted. @
Under its balcful influences
the material prosperity of the
parish is being rapidly brought
to a stand-still +; capital refuses to
come into, and labor itself must
necessarily soon begin to emf
CRATE from a country where the
sanctity of human life is no longer
respected, and where every man
is liable at any moment to be
hurled into eternity by the hand
Of the assassin.
In our opinion, our only egress
from this state Of things, is
through the strong arm Of the
law. Organized society, acting
through this mighty lever, can
soon, by the proper cooperation
of its law-ab;ding, God-fearing
members, eradicate this curse,
and throw again around human
life that sanctity with which it
should be guarded in all conl,nu-
