BY two men on last Saturday night, and com.
pletely overhauled and plundercd. But two girls,
one under ten years Of age, were 10 the house at
the time, Mrs, llaserly being over at Spruce
Creek The robbers entered the house about mid.
night, and when the girls went down stairs to
drive thom out, they were assailed by tho robbers
and driven back to bed, one Of tho robbers aour.
ishing large club and swearing that hc would
smash their brains out ftbey opened their mouths,
but II they kept quiet they would not be hurt.
While the one watched tho girls, the other CON.
mticd the robbery. The elder girl was compelled
to give up the key Of her trunk In which her saw.
ings were kept, amounting to s65. Every trunk,
chest and bureau was broken open, as well rs n
small iron sale in which some money and papers
were kept. The amount Is unknown. After the
thieves pilaged the house, they went to the cellar
whore they parsook Of a hearty supper, and thon
moved of with their punder. The nearest neigh.
bors lived about three. .fourths Of mile oa, hence
tho girls deemed II useless to raise the alarm un-
Ill daylight, when they venturcd out and informed
their neighbors Of what had happened.

those Of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, illinois,

Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others,
with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire
country during the Simmer and Autumn, and
remarkably so during seasons Of unusual heat
and dryness, are invariably accompanied by ex-

WORK FOR IT.

Boys want to be rich, great, or
good, without working for it, They
think that learned, wealthy, and in !.
huential men are very fortunate
that they have easily slipped into
their respective spheres. They
scarcely ever think that by hard
work and dint Of perseverance, most
of these men have risen to their
present position. Idlers never rise
in the world, God does not reward
laziness by ''riches and honor. God
did not make man to be useless and
live at ease and reap without sowing.
When farmers can SOW and reap on
the same day, and trees blossom and
yield fruit the same day, and not UNI
til then, can boys hope to become
men of marked influence and acqui.
sition without working for it.
A splendid carriage rolls along the
street. Boys look at it, and say to
themselves He'sa fortunate man ;
what an easy time he has Some
day we may have o windfall and not
be obliged to work for a living.
They scarcely dream that the occu-
pant of that costly vehicle was prob
ably once a poor boy, who worked
hard for many years, winning the
confidence Of all around him by his
industry, integrity and noble bear
ing. Had he been as idle and loose
as many boys are, he would not have
owned the carriage nor have been a
millionaire. Many years of earnest
toll, struggling to overcome obsta~
cles, practising the most rigid econ
omy, and bravely holding out against
great discouragements, is the secret
Of his success.
Daniel Webster could make a
great speech. Boys heard him, and
said, "What q gift! How fortunate
he is to possess such talents !" The
thought hardly entered their heads
that hard work enabled him to do it.
The first time he undertook to de-
claim in school room he broke
down. But persevering industry
overcame all obstacles. By hard
study year after year, and equally
diligent practice, he became the dis
tinguished orator. Take away q
quarter ola century from his life, in
which he carefully qualified himself
for his profession, having no idle
hours and no 'bed Of down." and the
world would have not known Daniel
Webster. Boys should not forget
this. He could make great speech
because he worked for it.
Boys, il is good rule that moth
ing valuable in this world can be had
without working for It. And the
time to begin work is now.

THE FORCE OF BREvITY.

Be brief. Come to the point. =
Begin very near where you intend to
leave off. Brevity is the soul of wis
dom as we'll as wit. Without it you
can seldom obtain currency. Only
the gems Of literature are treasured
up and quoted, and gems are not
reckoned by gross weight.
How compact all that comes down
to us from the olden times In how
few words we have the command
ments and the history Of creation
hardly embracing so many words as
are now employed to welcome an al
derman, or to make a complimentary
present Of q spoon.
The efficiency and value Of COM
parison can scarcely be over-rated.
The common air we beat aside with
our breath, compressed, has the force
Of guupowder, and will rend the SOL
id rocks; SO it is with our language.
Eloquence will never flourish in a
country where the public taste is in.
fantic enough to measure the value
of a speech by the hours it occupies.
A gentle stream Of persuasiveness
may flow through the mind, and leave
no sediment; let it come at a blow,
as a cataract, and it sweeps all before
it. 1t is by this magnificent compress
sion that Cicero confounds Cataline,
and Demosthenes overwbelms a.
schines by that Mark Anthony, as
Shakespeare makes him speak, car
ries the heart away with a bad
cause.
A clergyman once being asked
why he made bis sermon SO long re-
piled that he hadn't time to make it
shorter. Do you say it costs labor
to be brief? OF course it does.--
Mere words are cheap and plenty,
but ideas that rouse and set multi
tudes thinking, come as gold from
the quarry. The language of strong
passion always terse and compressed.
Genuine conviction uses few words,
There is something of artifce in a
long speech.-AdUOcGte.

A German had made fortune

"Why. don't you see ~ was the

Yes, / did see. II was a young
man who in different circumstances,
might have been called good look
ing. He had evidently been wells
dressed few hours before though
now his hat was battered and his
clothes soiIed; and it made him a
still more pitiable sight to see the
evidence that he had como from
a good home. He sat on the dusty
walk, his back leaning against the
brick wall, his head wagging, his
eyes winking, and an idiotic smile
on his face. AS he occasionally
made some senseless remark, the
laugh went up from the crowd.
a police officer soon came, WHO
appeared to understand the case,
and, lifting the poor disgraced youth
to his feet, he led him off to his
home, or some place where he could
get sober.

was scarcely more than a boy--had
