A J!.. the virtue of always trying again, if a first-attempt prove unsuccess ful, If has been dinned into childhood’s ears from time immemorial ; tradition has been invoked, history ransacked, and even fables coined for its support. The story of Robert Bruce and the spider, in all its variations, is familiar to most read ers Sometimes the thread is spun for the Scotsman's benefit, some-times in be half of Tamerlane; but no matter for whom—the moral remains the same. Try again ! No rid saw has been more fre quently used nor oftencr reset. The clumsiest bands are expert in its applica tion, and all unite in its praise; it has the indorsement of modern teachers as well as the sanction of antiquity. J beg leave to differ from these re spectable authorities—to dissent from the general verdict. I have a minority re port to offer in the proverb’s disfavor.— Trying again is not the first thing to do after a failure ; in very many cases it is netter to sit down with folded hands, calmly and patiently study the situation, and wait for events to develop themselves. When the bull attempted to butt the lo comotive off the track and failed, was it worth while to try again ? In my opin ion tliis- proverb has ruined millions of men and women who, but for the baleful lesson it inculcates, would have turned out useful members of society, and found honorable tombstones at least, instead of undistinguiphable graves. Any fool oan try again, no matter how absurd the essay may be in the first place; but it is only • the wise and courageous man, a philosopher indeed, who can make up his mind to leave off after discovering hua incompetency to the result sought.— If a thing be beyond your reach, don’t stretch out your hand for it a second time. As well ascertain the hopelessness of the case after one trial as after a dozen ; better, for time is saved. Persistency, which, after all, is but a polite periphrasis for. obstinacy, is a popu lar vice, and deserves discountenance and suppression rather than encouragement. To have attempted a thing and failed, nine times in ten, is the best evidence in the world that success had better be sought in some other direction. Yet there is a fatal fascination in the very failure j a desire is begotten to show that one oan do what one set out to do; there is a false and foolish pride about confess ing to a mistake; and so, persons are goaded on in pursuit of things to them unattainable, follow vocations to which they are not adapted. The consequence is hopeless mediocrity, if not wrecked for tunes and wasted lives. The advisability and wisdom of trying again, depends altogether on the amount of deliberation and careful weighing of chances which proceeded the first endeav or* Desire to do, or to be, is not the power; ambition does not always carry with it ability. A hen, seeing a duck take to the water, might feel a longing herself to swim. If she followed the in spiration and got disappointed only, in stead of drowned, reaching the shore in safety, I question whether it would be worth her whi’e to try again, however spectators on the banks might, bv pre cept and precedent applaud her to a re newal of the effort. Doubtles, alter due practice and discomfort, if no fatal result attended the first experiment, almost an} T hen might succeed in becoming a bad swimmer ; but would the game be worth the candle ? In no event could she swim as well as the duck ; while in laying eggs and scratching gravel, she would have all the advantage—no duck could compete with her on her own ground. Because a man is emulous of a neighbor who hap pens to be a judge, it by no means fol lows that he *can attain eminence as a jurist. Each has his mission in life; but all missions do not lie in the same direc tion* if, after readiug law for two or three years, he makes a hopeless mid dle of it before a jury with his first case, pose. Some men and women are committing slow suicide from the cradle to the grave. Mentally and morally, I mean, striving to do what they cannot, and leaving undone that which they can do. Talk of sins of omission and commission ; is there any thing worse than this in the whole black list ?

My advice was, no; decidedly no. It seemed cruel, per haps, but kindness some-times comes in that guise. She had no voice. It was a mistake to appear in the first place. Mie result demonstrated that most conclusive ly. “ Try again !” shouted some. And so it ever is, never was a crowning act of folly contemplated that some “ Iriend ” was not found to encourage and cheer it oo.. Why “ try again ” iu any instance, af ter one attempt, shows incapacity, if not utter incompetence? Does the perpetra tion of a sccodJ mistake make the first one less painful ? “Try again” is what lures that gambler on to his ruin. To play once, and, having lost, to retire from the table, were not so bad ; it is persever ance in losing, when the chances are ali against gaining that proves disastrous. A man may try anything once; but, having failed, it is better to deliberate well before tryiag again. I do not know that I would object to a man’s trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, or a whis tle out of a pig’s tail; but, after one at tempt, I should set him down for a fool, indeed, if he proceeded to a second; par ticularly when other material for purses and whistles lay ready to his hands.— And, iu ali cases, it is better to weigh the probabilities well before trying at all. I should not advise a woman to make even one essay at singing base; nor a lame man to attempt a polka* however ambitious he might be to dance. And to make a long story short, saying in a few words what there was no necessity in first place for spinning out into a chapter, the simple fact is this : there is altogether too much trying again in the world. It is time for the virtues of leaving off and abandoning hopeless attempts, without multiplying them to a sad and dreadful infinity, to be inculcated in schools and taught in high places.—iV. Y. Leader. From the Mobile Register, \llh. A Panther Hunt in the Heart of the City of Mobile. Great eseitcpient was created in the upper part of the city this morning, caus ed by the appearance of a wild and fero cious panther in the streets. seems that early in the morning a negro em ployed at the liousa of Mr. C. Bright, on Conti street, above Broad, discovered a panther coming from under the bouse.— Mr Bright was immediately called, and one could ask tor. They have a larger family than we, and must have more work to do. It seems as if you ought to do as well as Mrs. Gresham cau. ’ “Yes. There it is. 1 thought you had been at Mrs. Gresham’s or some where. I am sure I do the best I can.— The childreu are so noisy and trouble some, and I get so tired*with the work I have to do that I have little time for ex tra pains at fixing things up nice, though mercy knows I like as weil as anybody to have my house look well, and to have my children clean and sweet. I can’t spend my time to keep them out of the mud and water. They will play in the dirt. 1 believe it is natural, and I’m not sure, Mr. Jones, but I’ve seen you doing the same when you wasn’t quite so large nor so old as you are now. Children are a great trouble, as every mother of them Gilds to her heart’s content, though I don’t, know as it is right to call them troublesome. We wouldn’t like to have the little troubles taken away from us and never hear their voices about our homes any more.” “ Well, Jane that is true. Wo can bear many things, but we won’t think.of that. I don't want to be hard or too ex acting, only a man likes to have his own house as pleasant and inviting as his neighbor’s in every respect. “ Perhaps you are not so strong and so well able ta do as much as Mrs. Gresham. L know vour house used to be the tidiest, had been wont to sing in the days of his wooing, and Mrs. Jones’ heart beat glad ly as she heard it. She hastened to the door to meet him, and before they had thought of the strangeucss of it the wel come greeting had been given. “ This seems like old times, Mary,” said Mr. Jones; as he sat down in the transformed sitting room. There was but one tiling wrong,-^-that was his wile’s dress. She had worn the same old calico through all her kitchen work of the morning. It was faded, and not clean as it should be for an evening dress at home, lie wished his wile to dress so that no one could say she was either shabb'ly or slovenly dressed. He wished her to be the same bright, smil ing, and cheerful woman he had chosen to adoru his home aud share his life.— He wished her to be neatly aud tidily dressed lor his sake. There was a time onpe, within the memory of man, when a young girl took, special pains about the style of her hair aud in being dressed in good taste to please his eye. Now, the woman had be come dearer than the maiden was then, but was the kero ^he sought to please less noble than then ? Perhaps he had ceas ed to manifest any care for these things, aud so she had wearied of striving to look charming in his eyes. Siie might have come to the conclusion that he cared nothing for this now, that life was too real and hard a fact to be used up iu use less cares aud foolish trifles. “ 1 think I’ve beep as much to blame and most cheerful of any I know of, and as she. But I’ll say nothing more to her the sweetest and dearest woman in the world used to meet me at the door with a welcome kiss when I came from work.” And Mr. Jones stoopped, as if to wliis per something in her ear, but really his lips touched hers, as they had nof dope before in a long time. Then with the milk pail on his arm, he went whistling toward the barn. coming out with his cun discharged a Mrs Jones was in a state of despon dency She was conscious of unflagging labor on her part from day to day. Stiil she could not keep things in such order as she had once done. Every thing seem ed to go wrong. It was get breakfast and wash dishes, then sweeping and dust ing. By the time this was done, Johnny or Fecjdy would have a torn jacket or coat to be mended, and when it was done she would find that while waiting for the garment they had been rolling mud mar bles across the kitchen floor or cutting papers in the diriing room. Oh, this trouble of a woman’s life in house-keep- ipg. And worst of all, to have her hus- load of buckshot into the animal’s head, inflicting only a few trifling wounds. Upon being shot, the panther gave a terrible roar, and springing over a fence at least fifteen feet high, rushed ip to Mrs. Robert’s yard, op Government street.— He was here fired upon several times.— After clearing about a half a dozen fences, the enraged beast next turned up in Muj. Philan’s yard, from which he soon emerg ed. By this time a large number or men and boys, together with several dogs, had joined in the pursuit. Alter leaving Maj. Philau’s yard, the panther crossed back to Gonti, and entered a lot about a hundred and fifty yards from the place where be was first discovered. As he sprang over the fence, several ladies who happened to be in the yard screamed lustily, and fled for the house, and barricaded the doors. Two pistol would.it not be well to pause and sift his j shofs were fired at him, but without cf qualifications for the legal profession, carefully weigh the probabilities of his at taining success iu it, and inquire if there be not some other walk in life which he is more calculated to adorn, rather thau to try again and again to the end of the chapter, turning out but a bad pettifog ger after all ? Fortunately, there are many channels; those who cannot swim n pne, may make very excellent head way in another. All the while that our iriend was trying to be a lawyer, he might .rave sat in a high place, perhaps, as an rnineut shoe maker a remarkable tailor, i great and good hotel-keeper, or a suc- eesslhl tiller of the soil. Each to his own. Is is better to be a good compositor thau a poor editor; a good farmer than a disqualified judge; a good machinist than a poor preacher. Let it be discovered to each man his sphere, confine him to it, and he will v alk therein easily and successfully ; but to flounder awkwardly on, in an unnatur a! oue, can result neither to his fel lows. If a man desire to reach a certain point, and discover after setting out that he is in the wrong road, let him turn back and ; art anew. Perseverance in the path will not help him ; the further he jour neys, the further he is from the goal; it is necessary to confess to a mistake and undo what he has done, before success can reasonably be hoped for. Eminence, v, hich is but another name for fortune, is what all desire to attain. If a man start for it by way of the bar or the pulpit, in a doctor’s gig .or on an editor’s stool, and tumble at the outset, it is better to de liberate while down ; to go blundering on immediately he gets up, is pot the most judicious thing to do n " feet, Passing through the yard, he en tered the premises of Mp. Shepherd.— The panther here turned at bay, and showed signs of fight, giving time for the large aud excited crowd in pursuit to come up who, upon getting within range, saluted him with a rattling volley, only eight shots, however, taking effect. He immediately fled from the yard to Dauphin street, and thence to LeBaron’s krne, where he was brought down by two pistol shots discharged by Mr. J. AV. Bright. Two negroes, armed with axes, tlieu rushed up, and, by several well di rected blows, dispatched the terrible mon ster. The panther was measured, and found to be six feet ten inches long. This is the first time within the memo ry of the oldest inhabitant that a wild panther has been seen iu the streets, and many supposed that he had escaped from some menagerie. The general be lief however, is that he was driven from the swamps by the heavy storm. band think another woman’s house was better kept than her own. Perhaps he repented having ever married her. No, The old memories were too true and sa cred for that; besides, his reproof, though harsh at first, was kind ; he had surely felt sorry for having wounded her feel ings by them. iShe would try to do her best, but what use ? It would be the same as it had been. There was nothing to cheer, but much to depress. Onee sLe bad thought it would kill her to have that dark, impa tient frown and clouded look come into the face of her husband, and to hear him speak as he had done but a few minutes before. She rose from the table, cleared it, and washed the tea things. Then she went to the door. John and Feddy were busy throwing up entrenchments around an imaginary fort. It had rained the Dight before. “ Boys,” she called in the soft, mild tones of the oil time. Instantly they looked up from their play to see what caused that change of tone from the usual one of impatience. “ Bring in the wood and kiudlings for the morning fires, and tidy yourselves up before your father gets his part of the woik done.” It was so new to hear that cheerful voice that thp boys immediately did as their mother’had suggested.

It may be we have no busiucss looking “ behind the scenes ” on such oc casions; but positively, Mrs. Jones threw her delicate arms around Mr. J’s neck, and with a face full of joy, kissed him.— Something glistened in her eyes very much like tears aVphe did so. “ Why these tears, my darling?” “ Oh, I am so very happy. You have come back to mo and care for me now.— It seemed as if I had lost your love and nothing to keep my heart up. That was why I did not please you so well with my house-keeping. You don’t know much lighter the burdens are now since I feel sure that you love me as you used to when we were first married.” Mr. Jones carried a light heart there after. lie hud learned the secret of do- ] mestic happiness. His home was more pleasant and attractive, his children in better humor and cleaner since he had made,his discovery. The advice he gives to those who confide complaints to him is this: The happiness of your wife depends upon the continued demonstration ot your kindness and love towards her. She can not live without it, unless it is a mere mechanical existence. To make your home bright and cheerful, and to keep your wife s cheeks rosy as ever, her smile fresh and sweet as new blown roses from day to dav, let her be assured that you regard her as. the dearest and sweetest woman in the world, and cannot live with out her. Mrs. Jones finds time to do her work and instruct her children. They are as boisterous as aDV othgr boys, but there is something of gentleness in their wa_>s for all that. They look upon their mother as the fairest angel out of paradise, and are very careful not to cauge unnecessary trouble on their account. They are fast JAS. H. PORTER. R. H. BUTLER.
