TIE arrest Of the woman who slew
Mr.. Goodrich in his own house in Brook
Ign, in March last, discloses a fearful
mystery, and breaches another lesson
that men are slow to learn. Mr.. Good
rich had the reputation Of being a good
man, aud his pastor delivered n touch
ing culogy at his funeral. It was then
supposed he was murdered for money.
It now appears that the woman who
slew him alleges that he had deceived
her by false marriage, then cast her
of, aud in revenge she killed him. The
way Of transgressors is hard. Be sure
your sin will find you out.

ACCORDING to a recent sensa tional
report Of an interview with Prince
Bismarck, he does not appear to be SO
much Of christian, as the people Of
the old world. and particularly those
on this side Of the waters have At
tached to him. He says:
"Nothing has amused me more than
tn: praises which I have received from
tho Protestant Christians of England
and America. Ihavs wished to crush
Rome that might crush Christianity.
If anything could console me for the
chagrin which l foresee I am to endure
for some time to come, it would be to
witness the amazement Of these good
friends Of mine when they understand
the truth. But understand it. they
never will"

An Aim.

Give mo man with An aim,
Whatevcr that aim may be,
Whether it's wealth or whether its fame,
1t matters not to nc.
Let him walk in tho path Of right,
And keep his aim in sight,
And work and pray in faith Away,
With his eyes on the glittcring light.
Give mo imam who says,
~ will do something we'll,
And mako tho tleetinG days
A story Of labor toll"
Though the aim no has be small,
1t il bottcr than none at al,
With something to do the whole year thro'
lie will not stumble at all.
But Satan weavcs = snare,
For tho feet Of those who stray,
With mover . thought or car.
Whe,e the path may lead away.
Tho man who has no aim,
Not only leaves no name,
When his life 10 done, but ten to ono,
He leaves q record Of shame.
Give me mon whose heart
Is filled with ambitious fire;
Who sots his mark in tho start,
And keeps moving higher and higher.
Better to die in the strife,
The hands with labor rife,
Than to glide with tho stream
In ~ idle dream.
Better to strive and climb,
And never reach the goal,
Than to drift along with time
An aimless, worthless soul.
Ay, better to climb and fall,
Or SOW, though the yield be small,
Than throw away day after day,
And never strive 1t Ill.
