The HEART may be engaged in little
business as much, if thou watch it not, as
in many and great affairs. A man may
drown in a little brook or pool, as we'll as
in great river, if he be down and plunge
himself into it, and put his head under
water. Some care thou must have, that
thou mayest not care. Those things that
are thorns indeed, thou must make hedge
of them, to keep out those temptations that
accompany sloth, and extreme want, that
waits on it; but let them be the hedge; suffer
them not to grow within the garden.-LeigA-

Ring the bells slowly,
The year is lying
Chilly and cold on his bed.
Lofty and lowly,


Time is still flying;
Silence and list to his tread.
Out on the mountains


Winter is heaping
Snowdrlfts on evergreen leaves:
Down by the fountains,
Frozen while sleeping,
Gently the eveEing star grieves.
Burnish your armor


Quickly and brightly:
Up with new heart for the fight.
Plant your step frmer:
Time touches lightly
Those who keep pace with the right.

An intelligent, gentlemanly mdule aged French
man, named Henry Borgeman, was charged by his
wife, an Englishwoman, with an assault upon her

and family removed from Fourteenth street TO
Broadway, and while they were removing the furni-
ture to the new mouse she was 30 violently as
saulted by her husband that she would be unable to
nurse her baby for some time to come. In reply to
the Judge she unwillingy said that 1t was not the
hrst time ne had assaulted her. When he was free
from drink he was pretty well In his conduct, but
when he got with his countrymen his outrages were
more violent than she could possibly endure
again. for he forciDy exposed her person
for the amusement or the Frenchmen.


A witness was called to corroborate the evidence
as 10 the assault His answer was that he did push
his wife down, but that he not guilty OF violent
assault.


Judge Downing, after conversation with the COM
plalnant remanded the prisoner until Tuesday, In

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press writes on the 9th inst.
as follows:


At the cabinet meeting to-day it is
well understood that the Cuban question
was discussed at length. All the mem
bers present conincided with the Presi>
dent in his opinion that the attitude of
our relations with Great Britain renders
necessary for ..our government to main
tain strict neutrality, and particularly
to avoid any complication regarding the
belligerent-rights question which would
give England an opportunity to offset our
complaints against the Queens procla-
nation acknowledging the belligerency
of the Rebels during our late war. Such,
l have good reason to believe, are the
views Of the cabinet unanimously. At
the same time l have the most accurate
information that they are equally unani-
nous in their desire to aid the Cuban ins
surgents in any manner they can without
complicating our Diplomatic relations
with other governments. 1t has
been suggested by persons who
are we'll acquainted with the views
of the people Of the United States at
large on this question, that the adminiss
trstion would act in accordance with
those views lift would ignore the subject
of belligerency altogether accept the
English theory by recognizing the in
surgents, and proceed to a settlement of
differences with that government on the
basis Of the money claims involved. Sew
eral members of Congress are known to
entertain this opinion, and have address
ed letters to the President urging imme>
date action to that effect. The agents
Of the insurgents are quietly at work

the whisky could have been shipped by
rail from Pittsburg to New York, thence
by sea to Australia, thence to England,
back to New York and Pittsburg, from
Pittsburg UiG New York again to Cali

The feeling of the majority of the peo-
pie of California towards the Chinese,
who are fockiDg by thousands to our
Pacific shores, is faithfully expressed by
Senator Casserly in a recent speech
made in that State. The Senator said:


Great as was the work of building the
Pacific railroad, it would have been bet
ter to have left it unbuilt than to have
imported the Chinese to build it. He
said imported" because they came here
by importation and not by immigration.
1t was the duty Of every class of men to
unite to prevent the introduction Of the
Chinese. II they come in contact only
with the common laborers to-day, to-
morrow they will be in competition with
the mason, the bricklayer, the carpenter,
and the machinist, for they are the most
frugal, ingenious and industrious people
on the face Of the earth. Look at the
splendid granite building occupied by
Wells, Fargo & Co., the stone Of which
was cut in China, and was built by
Cinnamon. Men who can do such work
for less than half the price paid white
mechanics were an injury to the State,
and he would unite with any party that
would use energetic means to keep them
out Of the country. There was only one
party that could be depended upon for
that purpose, and that was the true old
Democracy.

ADVICE TO NERVOUS PEoPLE.-Irritable nerves
are best soothed, not by indulgence, but by
turning the mind resoutely in another direction.
Many pass through life without one close grasp
of their position or duties, or even without
studying the best means of attaining their own
desired ends. Such are more likely than any
others to become victims of tyrannical nerves,
and are often grossly unreasonable, from the
habit Of not using their judgment. Above all,
real, earnest labor will put to flight vast train
of nervous troubles. Few who are vigorously
pursuing life work of importance are greatly
afflicted with nervousness, and these few may
often trace it to the lack Of wholesome living
and fresh air. due regard to the laws OF
health an earnest purpose in life, and regular
employment are the best preventives for the
evils of over-sensitive nerves. Training and
self-respect will induce US to suppress fears, and
to conquer weakness. Acts of resolution will
teach courage, and systematic infusion oil
vigor and self-discpline will render the whole
nature superior to the indulgence of tyrannical
and enfeebling nervous system.

The London Herald tells this singular
and touching story:


Not many years since, certain miners,
working far under ground, came upon
the body of a poor fellow who had per-
ished in the sufocating pit forty years
before. Some chemical agent to which
the body had been subjected-an agent
prepared in the laboratory of nature
had efectually arrested the progress Of
decay. They brought it up to the sur
face, and for while, till it crumbled
away through exposure to the atmos-
phere, it lay there the image of fine,
sturdy young man. No convulsion had
passed over the face in death; the fea-
lures were tranquil, the hair was black
as jet.


No one recognized the face. A gene
ration had grown up since the day on
which the miner went down his shaft for
the last time. But a tottering old wo-
man, who had hurried from her cottage
at hearing the news, came up, and she
knew again the face which through all
these years she had never quite forgot
ten. The poor miner was to have been
her husband on the day after that on
which he died.


They were rough people, of course
who were looking on; liberal educa.
ton and refinement of feelings are moi
deemed essential to the man whose work
is to get up Goals, or even tin; but there
were no dry eyes there when the gray
headed old pilgrim cast herself upon tht
youthful corpse, and poured into its dea
ear many words of endearment unused
for forty years.
