Mrs Mortimer is never weary of de-
claring that her ''niece Marian" Is the
crowning blessing of Philip Randall's
life; and no one who has the entree of
their happy household ever doubts it.
But one of her sayings is destined to
prove au ignominous failure; for, not
withstandIng the prediction of her fond
aunt, Kate is not going to die an old
maid.

RE GENTLE WITH thy WIFE.

Be gentle: for YOU little know
How many trials rise,
Although to thee they may be small,
To her of giant size
Be gentle. though perchance that lip
MAY speak murmuring tone,
The heart may beat with Kindness yet,
And Joy 10 he thine own
Be gentle, weary hours Of pain
lis wOman's lot TO bear:
Then yield her what support thou canst,
And all her sorrOws share.
BE gentle, for the noblest hearts
Al times may have some grief,
And even in pettish word
May seek TO find relief.
Be gentle! for unkindness now
MAY rouse an angry storm,
That all the after years of life
In vain may strive 10 calm-
Be gentle. none are perfect
Thou'rt dearer far than life;
Theu, husband, bear and still forhear-
Be gentle 10 thy wife.

ANOTHER MURDER.
How John Quick was AssauIted-His
Death as the Result.

An ARRAY which took place on A street south
east, near the corner OF Seventh street, on tho
night Of Thanksgiving eve, has resulted
fatally, and i've men have been arrested as
the aesailants, and are held at tho Eighth Pre-.
cinct Station House.
1t appears that on the night in question John
Quick, the victim, n colored man, attended O
dance given at the residence of another col
ored man, in tho above vicinity, and being
somewhat under tho influence of liquor, was
elected from the building.
He returned and tried to re-enter, when he
was set upon and fearfully beaten about the
face and head by i've OF the colored men who
were present with deadly instruments, sup
posed by the police TO be black-jncks. Quick
was at once removed to his home and Drs.
Hazen and Reynolds summoned to attend him,
which they did up to the time Of his death,
80 O'Clock this morning.
The police were unaware OF tho serious con-
dition of tho injured man until last evening,
when they at once went to work In the matter
and by this morning had taken all of the
assallants and several witnesses into custody.
The parties arrested are: Armstead Ward, by
Onicer Edelin,; Joseph Marshall and Washing
ton Curry, by onlcer Shelton: Albert Warren,
by 0flcer Howell, and John Warren, by Oficer
Parker. This efficient and rapid police work
is very praiseworthy and reflects much credit
The fact that the physicians withheld tho
matter from the police is matter OF much
criticism. Joseph Quick, the victim, Is an In.
offensive colored man, about % years OF age,
and has hitherto borne very good reputa-
tion. His head presents terrible appearance,
the assault haAing been evidently q deter.
mined one. It is probable other parties than
fair. The Coroner has been notified to hold q
most .mOrtpm examination.

scene, as portrayed by Miss Mather, was, we
doubt not, u very great surprise to the many

In the audience last evening. 1t was in
this scene that tho young actress succeeded In
removing all doubt as TO her capacity for
