have not the courage 10 go patiently on

has pleased God to call us; but must need
live in some fashionable state, TO which
VIC rdiculously call ourselves, and all to

/ There is constant struggle and pressure

to dazzle others with the glare Of apparent
worldly success. we need not describe.

Is GCrrEAC's POISONED BOQUET.-Ihe
Washington Star of Monday says; Mrs.
Scoville went to the Jail last Thursday
about O'Clock, carrying boquet of or
binary size with Il large white rose i'll the
centre, and this she requested should be
sent in to her brother. At the time Gui-
tcau was engaged with Mr.. Reed and
Rev. DIR. Hicks in arranging his earthly
affairs, and Mr.. Woodward, the "dcath-
watch" was standing over him when the
flowers were passed To him. Guiteau took
them in his hand, and in answer TO
his question the answer was given "They
rre from your sister, ut which he looked
astonished for a short time, and then his
ewes filled with tears. The bOquet was
then set in Il cup on the small table. 1t
was soon known TO the deputy warden
that the boquet had been sent in, and it
was removed carefully. The central low
or of the boq,:es was found to be covered
with fine white powder, and on the
least movement particles would fall there
from. The officers thereupon determined
10 subject the boquet to chemical analysis.
The flower in question is kept under lock
and key for the present, as also another
flower from the same boquet. The first
one has 4 faded, dirty green corrOlla, just
rs it appeared when first noted, and the
flower proper has q sort Of waSy look.
The other has q natural look"
