You NEEDN'T DO IT.-An esteemed
friend OF ours done us favor, and we had
nothing with which to repay him, save our
good wishes, we feelingly remarked that
eve would remember him in our prayers

pray for me ityou please" What on earth
did he mean?

We were no little amused on Monday, at
the efforts of a good looking, well dressed
man to pick up his hat, which the rude
wind had blown from his head. His reck-
oning as to the direction and tho distance
of the hat seemed 10 be good, but when he
started for it his steering was sadly awk-
ward. A policeman finally came to his as
sistanee, and together they rescued the hat
from the ditch into which it had anchored
and walked of lovingly in each others

ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER. - James
Plunket, col, attempted TO murder his wife
Lucy, in one of the servant rooms of the
Lancaster House on Friday morning Of last
week, about o'clock. He was separated
from her at the time, having made three
other efforts within the past four years to
kill her, and was forbid by the proprietors.
of the Lancaster House, who knew his bad
character, from coming on their premises.
He gained admittance to his wite's room by
pretending that he had something import
ant to tell her. Yet she was fearful Of him,
and got another woman to stay with her
during her husbands visit. After talking
several hours he got up TO leave, extending
his left hand TO his wife, saying, "good- bye,
Lucy, 1 will never see you again." and as
she took his hand he struck her with an
iron peker, which he had kept concealed,
felliRg her to the fioor,::a fracturing her
skull by the blow. He made good his es-
cape, and up to this writing has not been
apprehended. He is a murderous william,
and the gallows would be mild punishment
for such wretch. May full justice soon
oyertake him.

LARGE CROWDS. SUPERB ACTING
The two nights of the Gilbert Sisters this
week were unusually brilliant, both as to
audiences and acting. Mrs. Bette Gilbert
Gray and Mr.. Gray are artists Of no ordi-
nary merit, and we can safely say that their
acting this week surpassed anything seen
in this city for many years. They were
ably supported, and we noticed marked
improvement in the whole eampany. Our
Katie did not appear in leading character,
to the regret Of a host of admirers. The
engagement was delightful one to our cit
liens and profitable to the company. We
hope to see them again soon.
MIsANTHRoPICAL. - The local of the
Trenton Gazette thinks that Sc Melancholy
Accidents" would be an appropriate head
ing for Marriages. We would observe that
youth may be classified into three periods.
The FIRST, a period Of sentimeRtalism, the
second, of misanthropicalism and the
third, if it ever comes, of common sense.
In the first :" Moore " is affected in the sec
ond, . Byron;" and in the third, the youth
becomes either a confirmed "dead-beat" or
an earnest devotee of the duties Of life as it
is. In the sentimental period, life is filled
with sunshine, roses and eYergreens. The
world is paradise Of truth and beauty, Of
love and hope. The sun, moon, and stars
are symbols of human purity, or synonyms
of human modesty; and, oh, how gorgeous
and bounding are the sweet dreams of this
rosy period, when the sky of the future is
filed with beautiful rainbows! But
change comes over this golden sky, and
with that change is ushered in the second
period of youth. The world proves not
to be a summer sea-friends deceive, and
the fair and beautiful obloCt "a the hearts
first and sweetest idolstry proves false
vanishes like a dream-and night, dark and
| lowering, falls on the soul. Then the sun,
the mooR, and the stars, the flowers and
the eYergreens lose their symbolisms.
| their fragrance and their hopefulness.
| All that is beautiful and sweet, all that is
| fresh and fragrant, withers as if scorched
by the Simoon's fierce and poisonous breath.
| In this second period the heart becomes a
charnel house Of doubt. mistrust. and hate,
and the demon of misanthropy Its ruling
| spirit.
But this, with sensible youths, does not
last long, although Byron's grand, but
blackened career is fearfully affected while
it lasts. A change, born of observation as
well as experience comes, and with that
awakening, sensible youths discover to
their establishment at first, that they are
making fools of themselves, and that the
world is laughing at their folly and COIN
ing wit out Of their absurdities. They
look about them and see hosts Of happy
men and women, who perchanee have tray
eIled the same road they travelled, and who
laugh when they recall the innocent follies,
or the equally innocent absurdities Of their
youth. Amer awhile, and alter a little
mixing with the rude world they eschewed,
they find that there are forms as beautiful.
and hearts as true as the fair and beautiful
idols of LIES sprIng-time. They further
find that there are such things in the world
as truth and constaney, albeit, not so uni
versal rs dreamed OF in the morning of life.
Further still, that life imposes duties to-
wards our fellows, to society as well as to
our much appreciated selves; and as they
proceed under this awakening, that there
are all along life's highway hopes as bright
and loves as sweet as those that stirred our
souls in youth. This is the last and grand
est period OF youth, the period of common
sense. The local OF the Gazette is evil
