TIE LESSON OF GRIEF.-I hold it to
be truth of great import that, while
grief i'll borne, demoralizes and deter
iOrates, grief well borue-bOrne with
fvrtitude, patience and wisdom-yieIds
the soul a bountiful harvest of CON-
psnsation. Increased moral power is
developed by thi> battle with pain IL
is easy to surrender and give way TO
despair; easy to complain and NOPE,
and forget the wants of the world, IN
our own private misery easy 10 be-
come so absorbed in the indulgence Of
our OVID emotion that by degrees, We
lose The conciouSness Of high duty to
mankind. Ba, il is very hard 20 cup
press the pain in our hearts, and
pluck out Of the wound the barb that
has pierced Us. Ye, grief ia disin-
tegration of character unless We
subject il % this tempest We ere over
borne aDi we indict Useless agony On
ourselves if we choose 10 break rather
thla 10 bend Ia stern struggle With
disaster, nevertheless, lies lis only
power 20 bless Us IN the end. The ef-
fort We must make, painful as it is, to
get the mastery Of our own s0ui.
There Is no sadier sight than to see
cue permanently crushed and broken
in spirit, under sorrow, and there is
no grander spectacle than that of a
free souI rising superior 10 the evil,

LEG BRoKE.-A few nights since
Squire Webb had his left leg broke
while returning home. The Squire had
been up town to hear the latest returns,
and IN returning home took q short cut
through alley IS and into alley A, be-
tween Water and Market streets, design
ing to enter his residence at the rear, and
thus save about squares walk. In alley
A there has been ditch dug for the pur-
pose of laying a sewer pipe, and in the
darkness the Squire was precipitated
into the ditch, and injured as above
stated. He hallooed for the neighbors IN
the vicinity, who responded to his cries
for help, and assisted him to his home
near by, and medical assistance was
called. Mr.. Webb Is quite an old man
and his injuries will doubtless prove
quite severe, as it will require much
longer time for one of his age to recover,
than younger person. At last accounts
he was suffering considerable pain.

Gil, we again call their attention to the

their duty to see that the ordinances are
enforced when the officers whose duty it
Is to require such enforcement are dere-
lict in duty, us they have been IN this
case, and still continue to be. The fol-
lowing section from the ordinance on
streets and alleys is certainly sufficient,
if it be enforced, to have Twelfth street
opened to the public, that vehicles may
have full use of the street:
