Suspicion may sriso from naught Bnt raslice, envy, want of thought: ^ Why count yourself among the "they" Who whisper w hat they dare not say ? They say-hut why the tale rehearse, And help to make the matter worse ? No good can possibly accrue From telling what may be untrue; And is it not a nobler plan To speak of all the best you can ? They say—well, if it should bo so, Why need you tell the tale of woe ? Will i: the better wrong redress, Or make one pang of sorrow less ? Will it the erring one restore, Henceforth to “go and sin no more ?” They—oh! pause and look within! See how thy heart inclines to sin .' Watch lest, in dark temptation's hour Thou, too, sbouJdat sink beneath its power! Pity the frail, weep o’er the fall, But speak of good or not at all! A Hong Kong correspondent of the Boston News tells sn interesting incident. He had been intrusted with a package for a yoong man from his friend* in the United State*, and, after in quiry, learned that be might probable be found in a gambling house. He went thither but not seeinvhun; determined to wait, in the expecta tion that he might come in. The place was bedlam of noiae* non betting angry over their cards, and frequently coming to blow*. Near him sat two men—one young, the other forty years of age. They were betting and drinking in a terrible way, the cider giving utterance con tinually to the foulest profanity. Two games hid been finished, the young man losing each time. The third game, with fresh bottles of brandy, had just begun, and the young man sat lazily back in hia chair, while the cider shuf fled the cards. Tho young man waa a long time dealing tho car’s; and the yoong man, looking carelessly about the room, began to hum a tunc Ho began to sing the beautiful lines of Phoebe Cary: “Oae sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er I'm nearer to my Father’s bouse, Than I’ve ever been before. ‘Nearer the bound of life, Where we lay our burdens down, Nearer leaving my cross, Nearer wearing my crown.” •U lirsl, says Uw writer, those words in « \ ilo place luado wo shudder. A Sabbath school hymn in a gambling den! But while the young man sang, tho elder stopped dealing the cards, stared at the singer a moment, and throwing the cards on tho floor, exclaimed: ‘Harry, where did you learn that tune?’ ‘What tone?’ ‘Why the ono you've been singing.’ Tho man said he did not know what he had been singing, when the cider repeated the words, with tears in his eyes, and tho young man said ho had learned them in a (Sunday school in America. •Come, said the elder, getting up; ‘come’ Har ry, here’s what I’ve won from you; go and use it for some good purpose. As tor me, as God t*** me I've played my last game and drank my last bottle. I have misled you, Harry, and I am sorry. Give me your hand my dear boy, slid say that for old America’s sake, if for other, you will quit this ixfornal business.’ Tho writer says these two men leave the ga mbling house together, and walk away THE FRENCH CATS. Sow tho Zouaves do their Fighting— They Carry Cats on their Xnapsacfcs —Tho Cats Charge the Enemy. and Act as Guides. [Erom the Sunday World. ] France possesses several special or ex tra corps entirely distinct from the regu lar army, the Notional Guard, or the ma rines. ‘One of them, and perhnp* the mos peculiar and eccentric, are the Zou aves, tho African or original Zouaves, who in time of peace, are always stationed in Africa, and whose strength there is about 12,000 men, and the Zouaves imites or imitation Zouaves, who are armed, equipped and drilled like the original corps, but do not possess the name per fection in inanwuvering, Ac. The lat ter are only stationed a part of the time in Africa; the greater part they are sta tioned in various parts of France. In their armament the Zouaves differ mate rially from tho regular infantry, particu larly in their bayonets, which liavo the shape of scythes, and their side arm, which is the Algerian yataghan—that is, the peculiar short sword of the Kabyles, also, in so far that they prefer to use their own private revolvers. No one can become a Zouave who not a born Frenchman, and a very large number of them are recruited among the Paris loafers and gamins. Their drilling comprises, besides the usual military evo lutions, more particularly also gymnastic, and no one can serve among them for any length of time who is notan accomplished and perfect swimmer, jumper and clim ber. Their style of fighting differs ac cordingly from that of the regular infant ry. They make no bayonet attacks in closed lines, bnt spread themselves out so as to have more room for striking about with their bayonets, and they enter the enemy’s lines on the fall run with large bounds. One of their eccentricities is their love for cats, and they prefer as pets the large gray and black cat of Algeria. The training of these cats is admirable. They know not only all the soldiers, but also their four-footed comrades belonging to the same battaUion, and easily pick out their own masters under all circumstan ces. They are very obedient to them, and not only on the march, bnt also in battle, take up their positions on their knapsacks—from winch position they participate in the fight according to their own peculiar style, by jumping into the face oi the enemy, and scratching and biting in a furious manner. During the Crimean war the wounds in the faces of the Russian soldiers from these cats were so serious and numerous that they bad to establish at Odessa a separate ward in the hospital for the better healing of them. In climbing up and attacking a rocky height, the Zouaves command their cats to the front to lead the way, and carefully watching the way the cats take, they fol low them closely, and taking advantage of every foothold pointed out by their trusty and agile comrades.

The following letter may throw some light on the subject: Hitjcsbsho’, August 3,1870. Governor Holden : You t»ay you will handlo me in due time. You white-livered miscreant, do it now. You dared ino to resist yon, I dare you to arrest me. I am lu re to protect my family; the Jacobins of your Hub, after shooting powder in the faco of Mrs. Turner, throw a five pound rock in her window, which struck new one of my children.

JOSIAH TURNER, Jil, Editor of the Raleigh Sentinel. An Insult to a Lady Avenged by Her Brother’s—A Gentleman’s Arm Bro ken. The 'St. Louis Republican tells the fol lowing story : There is always something interesting in an insult to a lady being followed by a swift punishment, and such a cas« red yesterday morning, the facts of which are os briefly as follows ; A day or two ago a young lady of high social standing beautiful and modest, and refined in bear ing, was riding in a street car. Her per sonal charms attracted the attention of a young medical practitioner who was in tfc 9 same vehicle, and he became impa tiently anxious to form her acquaintance.

Just before the young lady lelt the car he threw his card into his lap with a few lines written theron, requesting her to permit a correspondence to be opened. The lady was natarally indignant at this impertinance, and on re burning homo re ported the incident to her brothers, who determined to avenge the insult by con dign chastisement Yesterday morning the two brothers started on their chival- expedition, one of them being armed with a cowhide, and the other having a revolver in his pocket, which, however, it was not his intention to use except in emergency. They arrived at the Doc tor’s office and found that gentleman there sitting in company with a stalwart friend. “Are yon Dr. ?” inquired one of the brothers, addressing the physician. ‘I am, sir,” was the reply. Then, sir; I am come to thrash yon for insulting my sister the other day.” And immediately the Doctor felt the sharp blows of the cowhide descending fast and thick npon liis shoulders. The demonstration, os may be supposed, raised a row. The Doctor straggled with his antagonist, while bis friend sprang to his feet and pitched into to rescue him. The disengaged brother drew a revolver, and told him to stay where he was or a ballet would stop his advance. At this juncture the young lady’s father, who, suspecting the nature of liis son’s excursion, had followed them, appeared npon the scene. Seeing a big man ap parently about to rash upon one of the boys, he seized a chair and struck the Doctor’s friend a violent jjblow, breaking the right arm.

Longstreet The South Carolina Christian Advocate copies from a correspondent! of the Sk Louis Advocate, a note npon the last hoars of the Rev. A. B. Longstreet, from which we take the following: For a vreek previous to his decease, he had been suffering from a severe attack of chills, bnt after the first two or three days rallied so for as to sit up, to read, and to mte. Late on Wednesday even ing, the 6th of Jnly, he hod declared his intention of sitting up through the whole of the nexf day; bnt early in the morning he was seized by a chill, which rapidly developed into pneumonia, and thence forward he sank rapidly. His last hours were remarkable, even for those of a true Chriattan. To within two days of his death, and while prostra ted by disease, his aged and trembling hand were eagerly writing on a work of religions character, to which the last part of his life had been devoted. An ineffable peace settles around him, quiet ing even the grieved souls about his bed side. All the numberless moments of his life, which bad been consecrated by his remarkable, unhesitating trust in G od, seemed to gather from the bygone years, drawing aroand him in the try ing hoar of death to sustain and brighten him and his. When ques tioned respecting his spiritual condition, raising his hand, he replied, “There is net a cloud.” So uusliaken was tho re sponse that lie watched the approach of death with the carious iuterest of one making a new and important chemical analysis, rather than with the tremulous apprehension of one about to enter an unknown and nwfni hereafter. The parting of the sonl and the body was an event which had long been antici pated, and which for years he had made the topic of his doily conversation.— When the time come, with a wonderful lucid mind, and he gave the closest scru tiny to the loosing of every tio which uni ted the two; and is very doubtful whether any soul of the million departed can tell more of the rationale of death tlmn that of Jndge Longstreek With his own fin- gers he counted the failing pulse. When he could no longer move his hand he made one of his attendants place it on bis wrist, and, looking around on the loved ones he was leaving, he quietly ex claimed, “Almost gone.” At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and without pain he ex pired with the light of a glorious smile playing over his face. «-rta some time since the drawer lias had a Hnnchaasenism. To the thoughtfullness of a Drayton correspondent wo are indebted for the following: An old English gentleman s school-teacher, who some years ago resided in ono of tho small towns ol Ohio, was sn agreeable teller of stories, but deemed it beneath his reputation os a raconteur to tc II ono that did not surpass any that had preceded it. A farmer having come te the village remarked in tho presence of his friends, that he’d been plowing all the week with four horses, breaking np new ground, and dwelt open it as being a very “ big thing.” “Pshaw p said the Englisman, “that's nothing. I have seen in England fifty yoke of rxen hitched to one plow Y* The remark seemed to occasion general surprise. “And,” continued he, “ the hmniest part of the whole thing was, that while the plow was on tho top of one hill, tho leading yoke of oxen was on top of another lull, and the forty-nine between the plow and the leaders wero^suspended between tlie two hills! And there was another matter connected with it rather strange. In the course or the day the plowman, becoming rather cureless about driving his team, ran into and split a big oak stump!

For obvious reasons only the outline of the statement given: At 10 o’clock on Thursday night Mr.' Nathan, then on his way home, stopped at tiie Filth Avenne Hotel, and, after a business consultation with the gentleman above referred to bade him good night and started for his residence. The inter view was held in the main hall of the hotel, and while Mr. Nathan and he were conversing the gentleman declares that he saw a man intently watching them. When Mr. Nathan left the stranger followed him. The gentleman’s suspi cious were nor aroused until the following morning, after he heard the news of hia friend’s death. He has a description of the stranger, and is certain that he would be able to recognize him crowd. There are other slight threads which the detectives are quietly but steadily weaving in to a web of evidonce almost certain ere long to fix the crime upon the man who committed ik In the meantime they suggest, with good reason, that the press indulge as little os possible in the promulgation of theories which, whether wise, can effect nothing better than delay in the capture and punishment of the murderer. YOCNO NATHAN. Captain Jonrdan, Captain Kelso, and Detective Farley, perhaps the three best detectives iu the country, men of great experience and sound judgment, give it as their opinion - that Mr. Nathan was murdered by a professional burglar, and not by a novice. The iron dog was not found by young Nathan, but by the policeman who first entered the house at his call. He him self had been aroused from sleep by his elder brother, Fredrick. Ex-President Davis.

A correspondent of the London;Stand ard of July 9th writes: If Pans and Lon don have recently been supping ou hor rors, each more terrible than it3 prede cessor, I think when your readers have listened to tho following story they will allow that Andalusia is not far behind the two great capitals in affording a tale oi blood, which in ferocity and dramatic details ont-Herods the Pantin and Ux bridge massacre. Ou the outskirts of Castille de Goardias, a village some eight leagues from Seville, stands a small un pretending farm-house, tenanted by a hitherto thriving and industrious labor ing man and his wife. They had not been married very long, and a baby had just arriv ’d to complete their domestic happiness. Among the acquaintances of this young couple were a gypsy and his wife, with whom they were ou very friendly terms, the intimacy being cemen ted Ly business transactions of an im- porimit nature, the gypsy man being employed as an agent in the disposal of the farm prodnee and in the purchase and sale of animals, etc. It was therefore, in no way surprising that on the advent of the little stranger the gypsy couple solicited the honor of being its godparents, a request which was readily granted. The baptismal day having arrived, the whole household, with the exception of the mother, who was, of course, unable to leave the bod, and gypsy woman, who remained in at tendance, proceeded to the church, a dis tance of two miles. After everybody had left, and sufficient time had been given ,for the parly to get well out of hearing, the gypsy woman, armed with a pistol, approached the bedside of tho invalid, and threatening her with daath in case of refusal, demanded of her all the money that was in the honse. The poor woman, with rare presence of mind and without a moment’s hesitation, in dicated that small fortune was iu the drawer in the lower part of a chest in an adjoining room. !No sooner had the gyj-sy entered this room -to obtain the cash the invalid jumped out of bed, ran to the door, secured the woman inside, and seiz ing her husband's trabuco, or blunder buss, rushed outside the house, to the window by which the gypsy might escape , and, covering her with the gun threaten ed with instant death if she moved, at the same time raising load cries for help, which, unhappily, no one appears to have heard. In the meantime the christening party were now on their return. Meeting two guarda civile mutual compliments passed and the soldiers were asked to come to the farm-house and partake of the modest fiesta prepared for the occasion. This proposal and its ready acceptance must nave somewhat discoucentrated the gypsy man, for he now proposed to run on be fore to see that everything was ready and begged to carry the child so as to return it the sooner to the bosom of its; mother. On reaching the house he im mediately perceived that his deeply laid design had in somejwav miscarried. Ap proaching tho woman at the window, he ordered her to let bis wife go free, or otherwise he would kill her child. Never dreaming the man would be so diabolical, declined. Without another word the man whipped out his knife^and with one blow nearly severed the littlo innocent’s head from its body, and, tossed the quivering corps upon its mother. Maddened by this horrible net, the woman turned her gun upon tho man and laid him dead at her fret. The ex plosion and screams brought the guarda civile almost instantaneously to the house one of whom, unlocking the door where tho gypsy was confined, was at once shot through the heart by that woman. The second guarda civile, hearing this second explosion, Imrridly entered the honse, and seeing his comrade dead on the floor and the woman with the still smoking pistol in her hand, raised his carbine and dropped her lifeless where she stood. As otir informant rather curiously ob serves, this affair has aroused some poblic attention, on account of the peculiar circumstances attending it, and giving it an interest which murders and crimes of this nature, unfortunately too common in Andalusia, do not usually com mand. ffipl ffioticis—gmntfr £o.

S..”the en terprising and interesting correspondent of the New York Standard writes: I must close this letter with a some what startling assertion. _ Tho prettiest woman in Saratoga is a mulatto girl, a servant of Mrs. John Hilburne of New York. Among the mountains of Penn sylvania they have a tradition that ‘ Wild roved an iudiau girl, bright Alfarata, Where roll the waters of the blue Juniata’— who is described as surpassing beautiful. This girl, whom many persons might call ‘colored’ in derision, is Alfarata’sj coun terpart. She exhibits the most delicately- tinted olive, which is relieved and en hanced by the brightness of her com plexion. One looks upon her as npon a picture—an animated statue of s modern Cleopatra, rather than as humble offsorjng of ou unfavored race; who would under no circumstances, be received as kindly in society by the bells of Saratoga as the Misses Osborn, * Vanity Fair,’ showed toward the swarthy Miss Schwartz, whom they wan ted their brother George to marry instead of his own pretty Amelia.” Gen.
