The Scotch wOmans Faith


BY the side Of ripping brooI
in one Of the secluded glens o
Scotland there stands a low, mud
thatched cottage, with its neat hon.
eysuckled porch facing the south,
Beneath this humble root, on O
snow white bed, lay, not long ago,
old Nancy, the Scotch woman, pa
tiently and cheerfully waiting the
moment when her happy spirit
would take flight to mansions iu
the skies !" experiencing with holy
Paul, 1--WE know that if our earthly
house of this tabernacle we're dis
solved, we have a building Of God.
a house not made with hands, eter
nal in the heavens" BY her bed
side, on a small table, lay her spec
tacles, and her well-thumhed Bible
her "barrel and her cruse," as
she used to call it--lrom which she
daily, yea, hourly, spiritually fed
on the Bread Of Life" A young
minister frequently called to see
her. He loved to listen to her sim
pie expressions of the Bible truths,
for when she spoke Of her 'inher
itance, ineorruptable, undefiled and
that fadeth not away it seemed
but little way off, and the listener
almost fancied he heard the redeem
ed in heaven saying: Unto him
that loved US and washed us from
our sins in his own blood"
One day the young minister put
to the happy saint the following
question; Now, Nannie," said
he, "what if, after all your prayers
and watching and. waiting, God
should suffer your soul to be eter-
nally lOst?' Pious Mamie ra Sc
herself on her elbow, and turning
to him wistful look, laid her right
hand on the "preeiOus Bible"
which lay open before her, and qui-
etIy replied; "Ae, derie me, is
that a the length ye hae got yet,
man ?" and then continued, her eyes
sparkling with almost heavenly
brightness "God would hae the
greatest loss. Poor Mamie would
but lose her soul, and that would
be a great loss, indeed, but God
would lose his honor and his char
acter Havn't hung my soul up
on his exceeding great promises z
and if he brak' his word, he would
make himself liar, and a. the uni
verse would rush into confusion"
By faith, the old Scotch woman
had cast her souls salvation upon
Gods promise in Christ by the
gospel, In every sorrow she had
found him p "very present help il /
!" End now, about to leave |
the weary wilderness for her ever
lasting home, could she think that
he wonld prove unflithful to his
word ? No. Sooner than poor |
soul be lost, Gods char I
lcter, God himself must be over |
turned and a. the universe rush in.
% confusion! Dear old pilgrim

ON CARONDELET STREET,

: As was anticipated, there was very little
done yesterday by our financiers The
State Fair attracted nearly every one IRON,
the city, and real holiday was made o.
the day, although the banks were com.
PEELED to keep open as usual, the law no,
providing for such occasional relaxa.ions
from business at those institutions.
The stool. market is anything but active,
and while solid securities command custo-
mary confidence, the certificates of our
newer speculative companies are not gen
orally in very stable position. With
reference to the latter, it is safe to say that
the holders and the stocks are dropping
through the influence of something more
than the warm weather
Slaughterhouse, however has advanced
from s25. bid Tuesday evening at the
board. and an outside evening sale at
s26 25 to S2S@2S IS. Levee is rather
better, but it will not reach a terrifying
altitude until something is known of the
Governors intentions respecting the bill
awaiting his signature.
Louisiana Lotteryis firm and appears to
have got very fair footing upon the
street. 100 shares were sold at S35. Slip
island is not over robust just now, and
| some fancies that attracted good deal of
attention not long since are apparently
forgotten, if noFdefunct.
Notwithstanding the temptations of the
fair, the new direction of the Jackson rail-
way, and their wide-awake ATTORNEYS,
gave their best efforts yesterday to con-
tlnuation of their vigorously commenced
siege of the old board and old officials.
Their movements are rapid, bold and
aggressive. Yesterday they attempted to
cut off the enemy's communication with
his base of supplies. Their injunction is
published in another column. The mem
bers OF the old board must not pay their
lawyers out OF the railways funds, and
until further orders the new men are not
to be hindered or impeded IN their efforts
to resuscitate the affairs of this grea. trunk |
line. The McComb par have pluck,
money, and acuteness; bat, if we mistake |
not, they have to overcome a foe equally
plucky and determined. CTS a very
pretty quarrel as it stands, and may the
best man win"
Recorder Houghton yesterday dis
charged the bold invaders OF the peace Of
the railway Office, arrested as trespassers
on the affidavit Of General Beauregard
and Mr.. Williamson Smith. The con-
'truc.ive imprisonment of these gentle
men does not seem to have weighed heav-
ly upon their spirits, Or diminished their
in fact, they have taken the
.ttair in quite Jolly humor Possibly
hey have never thought their case
hanging matter.
The Board OF Brokers did not nee. last
vening.

"That in the midst of life We are IN
death" was never more pointedly or pain
fully illustrated than yesterday, when the
catastrophe occurred in the Virginia State
House st Richmond, which suddenly swept
SO many men full Of life and hope into the
depths Of eternity. The event thrills the
nation with horror, and while we, remote
from the scene of disaster, are moved to the
the deepest sympathy with the friends of
the survivors, we can hardly imagine the
grief of The stricken households whose dav
of mourning came suddenly and without
warning. Surely, death is here and death
is there, death is busy everywhere.

reference to those who, from age or casual.
ty, are past performing duty, and also a
general esprit du corps, should be cult
waited and encouraged among them. These
are our views and we have only to add
the expression of our earnest hope that
the wishes of all good citizens may be soon
realized in the establishment here of a
police system and force, that shall
equal those of New York, or London, or
Paris.
