A Romantic and Thrilling RecOgnl-
ton.

About ten ears ago, two broth
ers left their home in Illinois, and
went to California. The elder was
q man of the most steady habits,
and had received good business
education, but the younger was in
clined to be dissipated, and, indeed
had figured in so many scrapes at
home that his departure was not
regretted in his native village. The
two brothers lived for a short time
in San Francisco while they looked
for situations. The younger broth
er, however, fell into bad company,
and they separated by mutual con-
sent. The elder brother obtained
a situation in a wholesale store as
porter, and by his diligence and
steadiness so worked himself into
the confidence of his employers
that he rose from the position OF
porter to that of partner in the
firm. He lately purchased a house
on Bush street, married lady with
considerable fortune of her own,
and on last Christmas Eve he saw
three beautiful children around him
enjoying the delights of Christmas
tree. The family retired at mid
night, but the gentleman had hard
ly closed his eyes When he was
awakened by noise down stairs,
and moving steadily to the parlor
with a revolver in his hand, he saw
a man endeavoring to open the buff
fctt where he kept silver. LEVEL
ing his revolver at the thiefs head
he exclaimed, stop, or you're a
dead mani The jimmy dropped
from the burglars hand, who, fall
ing on his knees, cried out, "As
God is my judge, Robert, | did not
know that you lived here" The
gentleman then discovered to his
horror that the burglar whom he was
about to shoot was the younger
brother he had not met for nearly
ten years. That night the burglar
slept peacefully under the roof of
his forgiving brother, who assured
"a friend with tears in his eyes, that
he was about to give him employ
ment in his own store, aud that he
had never spent happier Christ
mas.

Brilliants.

1t is far easier to feign respect
when we do not feel it, than to ex-
press it when we actually do; for
which reason frank, straight-for-
ward people always appear hypo-
critical to suspscious ones. The
very fear of seeming deceltful
makes us seem so.
Some there are who gaze intent
ly into the well OF truth, but only
in hopes of seeing their own image
reflected there.
Fancy rules over two-thirds OF
the universe, the past and the fu-
ture, while reality is confined in
the present.
Men get fond of the very defects
of a woman they love-as they do
of chocolate and tobacco, though
horribly unpalatable at first.
Good sense is the body of poetic
genious; fancy, its drapery; mo
ton, its life; and magnetism, the
soul, that is everywhere, forming
all into one graceful and intelligent
whole.
Little minds rejoice over the er.
rors of men of genius, as the ow
rejoices at an eclipse.
GRAY hairs seem like the light o.
a soft morn, silvering over the even
ing of life.

Word of Wisdom.

He that will be served must he
patient.
Who spits against heaven, it falls
in his face.
Nothing but a good life can fit
men for better one.
Three helping one another bear
the burden of six.
The fox knows much, but more
he thai catches him.
Money is well spent in purchas-
ing tranquility of mind.
Pardon and pleasantness are
great revengers of SANDER.
He that hath mouth of his own
must not say to another, Blow.
He who is pulled mp with the
first gale of prosperity, will bend
beneath the first blast of adversely
An able man shows his spirit by
gentle words and resolute actions
he is neither hot nor timid.
There is no man who is all the
time watching some one else.
The incapacity of men to under
stand each other is one of the prin'
cipal causes of their ill-temper to-
ward each other.
With love, the heart becomes 6
fair and fertile garden, glowing
with sunshine and warm hues, anc
exhaling sweet odors.
Those who excel in strength are
not most likely to show contemp
in weakness. A man does not de-
spise the weakness of a child.

A little incident will illustrate
the unusual precocity Of some of
our boys. Two Of them were talk

The other boy said he had but two.

but two. but the Turks have lately

The lawyer, perceiving that his
elouuence had put the court to

naturally awakens the judges. He

they have lost whole night OF his

A heavy thunder shower passed over this place on Monday afternoon of last week. The lightning was unusually sharp one bolt striking tree nppnIt farm of MT. David Atwood, under which were three cows. all he possessed, killing them all. About the Center several trees were struck but no further damage was done. The roads were badly washed in some places; and owing to the frequent show CTS, they have become very rough and stony.
 Several petty burglaries have been committed recently about the Center, which are accredited to the tramps with which the highways abound.
 Building lots are offered for sale along the. route of the. proposed new roads. at very reasonable figures. Seve- ral are reported already sold, upon which will be erected new dwellings within 8 year. Whether the town or the land own- CT will build the road yet remains to be seen.
 The potato crop is enormous. They ara to be had in any quantity at 75c per bushel, or less
 A large rattlesnake having ten rattles was killed some two weeks ago, about 2 miles east of the Center, and another was one seen upon the same ground few days since. A black snake was killed near Jericho Bridge measuring 8ft. and Sin. in length.

When in Hartford, the other day, I no- ticed just outside the city limits, at the northwest, in dense chestnut forest, some dozen rods from the highway. little mound. That it was grave was evident from the cross at one end, like that which marks the resting place of persons of the poorer class in Catholic cemetery, Ce- dars and other shrubbery had been set out, and on either side china vase, plac- ed carefully so. that the top stood even with the earth was the receptacle of bright and fronran flowers
 The most natural supposition was that some child was buried there. Probably the little creature had pned inside brick city tenement for one sight of such gras= sy hillside. and for one breath of the pure air of the woods-all in vain. The nat. ural beauties it had never known in life, were all assembled around its grave.
 A little inquiry, however, made burles- que of my sentiment. It was indeed a grave, where wealthy family had buried favorite dog. The cedar shrubbery, flowers, &c were planted there in fond remembrance of the bark that is lost to them forever. One hardly knows wheth- CT to sheer at such extravagant demon strations of affection, or to entertain symething like charity for the afflicted family.

The young man wishing to see the fun. struck the middle post with an old axe, after the boys had gone out, and started for the door, but the roof overlook him and crushed h1m to the ground, probably killing him in- stantly.

A letter from Major Montgomery in Saturdays Tribune seems to establish the fact that Farragut actually dashed himself to the rigging of the Hartford, during the Mobile fight. He took that position to be above the smoke of the guns, and was in- duced to secure himself from falling, in case of being wounded, by one of his of- fcers. Some of the newspaper critics having spoken of the poet, Henry Howard Brownell. as '.non eombatant." Major Montgomery makes the following state- ment regarding his position in the ship and his conduct during the fight:
 When Admiral Farragut was ordered to the command of the Gulf squadron, the poet wrote him an earnest letter, request. ing even a subordinate position to afford him active duty in his country's service. He was appointed Volunteer Ensign, and during the battle of Mobile Bay. was sta. toned on the poop. deck of the Hartford, the most exposed on the ship. with direc- tions to make careful notes of the firing of the enemies batteries Although shot and shell was crashing around him, he maintained his post, like Casabianca, without finching. and performed his du- ties SO coollY and heroically as to win the respect and admiration of his brother of. ficers, and be personally comphmented by his great commander The term s'non- combatant" cannot be applied to such her,
