ARREsT.-Last Friday night the sheriff
of Unien county, arrested Mrs. Mary
Hilbert, in this city, recently indicted by
the Grand Jury of that county for murder
of j. L. Brister, at Creston, some three
years since. She has resided here for over
a year. We did not learn the particulars
of the evidence that caused her arrest,
but understood that the clue was discover
ed by our townsman, w. s. Kenworthy,
who followed it up until above result was
attained. The murder was very afro
cious one, the man being killed in bed,
his throat cut with razor, and if this is
guilty party we hope the full extent of
the law will be meted out.

present, and of course it was happy
time. Few couples live to celebrate the
golden wedding. Few couples live to
travel together for fifty years over life's
thorny pathway, and how happy must be
the reunion around the hearth where fifty
happy years have been spent9 We wish
the aged couple many pleasant returns of
the anniversary that was celebrated with
a golden crown last week.

think. and act under their influence.
As second element of success Paul
possessed zeal for the truth-a living de-
sire to know the truth and support it.
Early in life he learned to recognize truth
as a great principle that should underlie
all rules of action, should measure the
standard of rights. With this conception
of truth he sought it in the laws of Moses,
the traditions of the Pharisees, the philos-
ophy of the Greeks and the voice of ma
ture. For a time he thought to find it in
the teachings of Moses and the Prophets.
With his zeal for its support he was ready
to attack everything that seemed to op-
pose it. But while he was always ready
to oppose error ne was not blind to the
perception of truth. AS he stood by the
garments of those who stoned Stephen, he
was watching for the manifestations of
truth in the words and features of the dy-
ing martyr. And as he turned from this
scene he no doubt queried in his mind
whence came this spirit of peace and for
glveness?" While on his way to prosecute
the christians at Damascus, this same
question crowded itself upon him, and as
he begins to search for an answer, the fire
of Gods Holy Spirit came round about
him as light from heaven. Under the
influence of this light the scales were tax
en- from his eyes and he was permitted TO
see truth as he had never seen it before
Another element of success quite prom
inent in the life of the Apostle is devotion
to supreme end. After the scales had
fallen from his eyes at Damascus, he went
alone into the wilderness that as pupil OF
the Holy Spirit he might become better
acquainted with the principles and pur
poses of the new religion. As he remained
here under this divine influences his mind
was invigorated and enlightened. The
laws of Moses took new beauties as he
conceived their fulfillment in the law o.
Christ. His Pharisaical notions of the
resurrection became more definite and
satisfactory as he saw the spirituality OF
Christ's religion. The purposes of the
temple became more comprehensive as hs
felt the fire of God burning incense upor
the altar of his own heart.
With his soul warmed with the love O.
Christ his interest In man was increased
With these comprehensions and impress
sions he consented himself on the alte
of Christ and humanity and came forth
to commence his work.

HE PREFERRED THE STUMPS.

On Pennsylvania railroad belle of
a thriving Pennsylvania town, the
daughter OF wealthy lumber merchant,
was travelling in the same car with q
shrewd old gentleman Of her native
town and an agreeable gentleman from
the West, who tells the story. The lat
ter had been talking to the belle, but, as
the young lady grew drowsy, he gave up
his seat to her, and placed himself be-
side the somewhat cynical Pennsyl-
vanian. The latter began conversation
by pointing to a high mountain, past
which they were whirling, and said,
You see that mountain Six or eight
years ago it was covered with as fine a
forest as ever grew, and worth $4,000
and upward. Now, without tree, COW
cred with stumps, the land is scarcely
worth a cent. The net produce of that
mountain lies over there in that seat, -
and he pointed to the recumbent belle

and educate that girl, pay for her
clothes and jewelry, bring her out in
society, and maintain her there. Some
of you young men, if you were given

der, as it now stands, and the net pro-
duce on that seat, would take the net

But the gentleman was as astonished

Honor Old fUe,

Bow low the head, boy; DO reverence
to the old man as he passes slowly along.
Once like you, the vicissitudes of life
have silvered the hair and changed the
round face to the worn visage before
you. Once that heart beat with aspira-
tons co-equal to any you have felt; as
pirations crushed by disappointment, as
yours are perhaps destined to be- Once
that form stalked proudly through the
gay scenes of pleasure the beau ideal of
grace; now the hand of Time, that
withers the flowers of yesterday, has
warped that figure and destroyed that
noble carriage. Once, at your age, he
had the thousand thoughts that pass
through your brain-now wishing to &C
complish some hing worthy of a nook in
fame anon imagining life dream that
the sooner he woke from the better.
But he has lived the dream nearly
through. The time to wake is very near
at hand; yet his eye even kindles at old
deeds of daring, and his hand takes a
firmer grasp of the staff. Bow low the
head, boy, as you would in your old age
be reverenced.
