For life Is too feeling and friendship TOO sweet
To be sitting with tears in ones eyes.

OF gentleness, meekness and truth;
Take lessons in singing of the swert birds
smile gives perpetual youth.
But what? You don't dare to laugh-hardly
TO smile?"
Why, bless You, what folly Is this?
Your teeth look so wretchedly all of the while
You dare not your own brother kiss?"

AS a general thing this section of the
country is remarkably free from crimes,
but once in awhile some evil disposed per
sons attempt crimes though not as serious
and as mysterious as in othe- parts of the
country. Yesterday there was an attempt
at robbery in North Laurel 1t seems that
a Mr.. William Hevy, living back from the
pike, had occasion to use some money and
on going to get it he found that about $50
was missing. Two suspicious colored men
were seen going toward the woods near the
house and a young son of MIR. Hevy follow
ed them. He came upon them as they were
quarreling over the division of the spoils.
and when they saw the boy they threw
stones at him, but he kept watch of them
and saw them hide the money under a
stone. After the darkies had gone the boy
looked under the stone and found about $50,
the negroes having carried off the balance.
AS yet no arrests have been made.
