MONDAY EVENING, JULY 81.

RECRUITING NO JoKE-The Richmond cor
respondent of the Petersburg Appeal says !,
few weeks ago several young men OF gooo soclal
position 10 Richmond happening to be IN the
!, neipbborhood of the recruiting office OF the
limited States Marine Corps. each agreed to
enlist in Uncle Sans service II the others
would. Mr. Macon Johnston, son OF Mr.. Pey
ton, Johnston, led of, but having been muster
ed in found that he was victim OF practical
Joke, aud that he had not only taken step be-
yoDd recall, but that his comrades had 90 idea
whatever of keeping him company. He was
sent to the rcdezyous at Old Point and has
there since remained in no enviable frame OF
mind 10 the meantime, however, his dis
tressed father aud other relatives have not been
idle, and they were rtjniced on yesterday to
hear that through the Influence of Hon John
Amblar Smith, the Secretary OF War had been
prevailed upon to issue an order for young
Johnston's unconditional discharge.
DEATH AT THE CoMMUNIoN TABLE Hop
kinsville (Ky) New Era. We have to chron-
icle one Of the saddest occurrences that have
transpired 10 this county for many years. On
last Sunday the Methodists held a quarterly
conference at Shiloh church FIVE miles west OF
Hopknsville. A large concourse of people
were present, and at the close of the sermon,
Christians were invited to come to the commu-
MON table and partake of the Lords Supper
Mrs Emily Owen, wife of T. A. Owen, being
COMMUNICATE, walked forward apparently 10 as
good health as any person in the church but when
iu the very act of kneeling at the altar drop
ped dead A physician present came to her
side Immediately. but all efforts to restore her
we're in vain The calamity was SO shocking,
and cast such gloom over the congregation
that the people dispersed to their homes be-
fore the close of the days services. 1t Is
though, that she died of heart disease.

The Hon. Joseph Titcomb, Of Maine,

currencc of sentiment most purely Demo-

canvass that elected Franklin Pierce. The
letter of Mr.. Iitcomb, whom we shall
hope TO have the pleasure Of saluting as
Governor Titcomb. rs the latest expression
OF such sentiments by any of our foremost
Democrats, and it is pthy compendium
OF pure doctrine which will command the
hearty approval Of every true Democrat in
the Union. We recommend its vigorous
uttermce of political principles to the
reading also OF the party calling itself Re
publican, which to-day has no principle
but the cohesive power of public plunder

THANkrrLNEss. If one would give me
dish of sand and tell me there were par
ticle> of iron in it, might look for them
with my eyes and search for them with
my clumsy fingers. and be unable to de-
tect them; but let me take a magnet and
sweep through it, and it would draw to
1t the most invisible particles by mere
power of attraction. The unthankful heart,
like my finger in the sand discovers no
mercieS; but let the thankful heart sweep
through the day. and as the magnet finds
the iron, 50 it will find in every hour, some
heavenly blessing. Only the iron in Gods
sand is gold 70. w Holmes.
