THE RUTLAND HERALD.
SATURDAY, JULY %, 1870.
The Spirit of FOrbearance.

Ii one would be received with respect
as companion and friend he should avoid
unnecessary criticism upon those with
whom he associates. The number of peo-
pie in the world is very large who seem
to have taken out judges patent for
themselves. 1t would be difficult for one
to dwell with another who is constantly
oriticising his actions, even if it were a
just and kindly criticism. These self.
elected critics, like their prototypes, are
very apt to have the persons they Judge
brought before them in the guise of Gull
prits. One of the most annoying forms OF
criticism is that which may be called ad-
vice over the shoulder; "Had 1 been con-
suited" chad you listened to me ;" but
you always WILL" and scraps of sentences
may remind many of us of lectures which
we have suffered and inflicted and of
which we cannot call to mind any sooth-
ing effect.
Many have habit of saying to those
with whom we associate, such things as
we say about strangers behind their
backs. There is no place, however,
where real politeness is of more value
than where we most think it would be
superhuous. One may say more truth, or
rather speak more plainly, to associates,
but not less courteously than to strangers.
We must not expect more from the
society of our friends and associates than
we can give. Intimate friends should take
care when they go out into the world
together or admit 9th ers into their own
circle, that they do not make bad use of
the knowledge which they have gained of
each other by their associations. Nothing
in the main proceed from mere careless
meas it would be extremely ungenerous.
One need seldom wait for the written life
of a man to hear about his weaknesses or
what are supposed to be such, if you
know his intimate friends or meet him in
company with them.
In conciliating those we associate with,
it is most surely done, not by consulting
their interests, nor by giving way to their
opinions, so much as by not offending
their tastes. The most refined part of
mortals lies in this region of taste, which
is, perhaps, result of our whole nature,
and at any rate is the region of our most
subtitle sympathies and antipathies. 1t
may be said that if the great principles of
Christianity were attended to all such
rules, suggestions and observations would
be needless. This is true. Great princi-
pies are at the foundation of all things,
but to apply them to daily life, many hints
are oftenA needed. Such things hold a
middle place between real life and prinoi-
pies, moulding the one and expressing the
other.

some old records of Brandon day or two
since, l saw the record of the vote to raise
fifty dollars to defray the expenses OF the

THE GREAT STEAMBOAT RAcE-Tha
great steamboat race ON the Mississippi
river occasioned the most intense excite
ment ever before known by a similar event.
Throughout the entire valley the widest
enthusiasm prevailed. Enormous sums
of money had been staked on the result,
not only in sporting circles, but among
those who rarely make wager. Even the
ladies caught the infection, and gloves
and bon-bons without limit were bet be-
tween them. The rival steamers were
the r. E. Lee and Natchez the race from
New Orleans to st. Louis. The former is
the largest boat of the two, and of i'm
mense power. The Natchez, though a
smaller boat, is a perfect beauty, eliciting
the admiration of all those who are Judges
of steamboat models. The Lee ran under
the disadvantage of broken SIMPLY
pump, from point thirty miles above
New Orleans, and was compelled to keep
two men constantly at work to prevent
the leak from becoming too largo tol
allow a full supply of water to the
boilers. The Natchez lost con-
siderable time also, from broken
pump. The progress of the contestants
from New Orleans was long continued
ovation cannon were fired at many
points, innumerable rockets sent up, and
the banks of the great river showed
groups and crowds of men, women and
children, shouting and waving handker-
chiefs. During the greater part of the
race the competitors were in sight of each
other, adding greatly to the excitement
and character of the contest. The time
made by the Lee, between New Orleans
and Cairo, was three days and one hour,
the fastest time ever made, except the run
of the same boat in 1867, from Memphis
to Cairo, which was performed in Is hours
and 81 minutes. The time made in this
race, from New Orleans to St. Louis, was
3 days, Is hours and IA minutes, beating
the Natchez hours and Al minutes. The
captain of the Natchez, however, claims
that deducting six hours laid up by fog
between St. Louis and Cairo, and thirty
six minutes lost repairing pump below
Helena, he beat the Lees time some TWEEN
ty minutes,

PERIsHED.-The body of John Perkins
of Marion, who had been missing for
several weeks, was found, the other day, in
sune woods about u mile from that place.
He was about 70 years old and very lame,
and appearances indicate that, having
strayed in the woods, he was too feeble to
make his way back. The failure to in
stitute an earlier search for his body is
explained by the fact that he was sup
posed to be visiting one of his children,
several of whom was married and live in
adjoining towns.

Romantic Story.

In 1851, the uncle of the writer resided
as American Minister at Paris, with large
family around him. AT this time appeared
in society there Eugene Marri de Guzman,
Countess Of Montijo : lovely person aud
an aristocratio name securing her brilliant
conquests in that society, and constituting
her one of the most famous ladies in Paris.
It was thought, and indeed freel y remarked,
that her mother was more ambitious than
herself that the former designed for her
some great alliance, while Eugene herself
appeared model of simple sincerity, a girl
who would choose to consult her heart in
any matrimonial affair. Her sister had just
married the Duke of Alba and Berwick, a
lineal descendant of James IL. Of England !;
and the worthy mother, Donna Maria, no
doubt, designed, at last, an equal matri
monial destiny for the moro beautiful of her
daughters But the heart is not always to
be controlled even in the most aristocratic
life, or to yield to its exactions or convent
ence. Eugene lost hers to a fine looking
blonde Virginian, young William G. Rivcs,
son of the American minister. They were
engaged to be married. But Aunt Judy
Riyes, Virginia, very decided and angular
in her scruples, interferod and broke off the
match tha Countess was too ':fast" for her
old Virginia views of social sobriety. The
woman for whom fortune has reserved so
much, escaped the omparatively humble
match, that her heart had decided upon
the destiny of quiet Virginia house wife
ITO ascend the throne of France. Alas,
what other contrasts may yet remain for
her! If an event has been ordered different
ly; if a prospective mother-in law had
proved complacent, the Empress. the woman
who had adorned the throne of France, and
displayed to the world the chasms of another
