A largo part of life’s burdens aro self-im posed and wholly needless. Fears of calami ties which nover happen, a doleful habit of looking at tho worst, a suspicious disposition, a jealous turn of mind—theio are the tyrant# that load uh with burdens heavy to boar and nccdloss to carry. If we should honestly ox- amino tho various burdens of our lives, we <1 be surprised to find bow many of them aro of this oharacter. Not only may we drop thorn if wo will, hut justice to otliors demands that we should. A man or woman habitually unhappy is essentially selfish, and is always a thorn in the community.

The Chinese forces on the Min river wore completely routed by a body of 2,000 French troops. The Temper. If people generally knew what an advantage to them it was to be cheerful, there would be fewer #our faces in the world and infinitely less ill-temper. A man nevor gaine anything by exhibiting his annoyance by hi# face, much less by bursting into passion. As it is neither manly nor wise to yield like a child pettishly to overy cross, so it is alike foolish and absurd to allow feelings of anger to deprive us of self- control. There nevor was a man in any con troversy who lose his temper who did not come near losing his causo in conseqnenco. If ever a person plays tho game of his enemies it is whon ho is in a passion. Acquaintances slum mon of proverbially ill-temper ; friends, drop away from them; even wives nnd chil dren gradually loam to fear them more than to love. Thousands of men owe their want of success in life to neglecting tho control of their temper. Nor have they the excuse that it is nn infirmity which cannot be restrained ; for Washington, though naturally of a most pnssionato disposition, disciplined himself until he passed for a person utterly impassive. No man who neglects his temrer can be happy around. Good temper is gold, is beyond price. Bad temper is a curse to the possessor and to society. SAVANNAH. G-A.

Another tragic chapter In tile story ot loath which began nt Unidntdwn, Pfettn., by ;he slaying of Cnsldor Nutt by Diikcd, is did- dosed in the following dispatch from Union- town: Intense excitement ban been caused hero by tho discovery of an atrocious attempt to take die lives of tho members of tho Nutt family. I’ho well from which tho supply of water isod in tllo Nutt household wits drnWu was poisoned by some utlknoWn miscreant. TWoof .ho young ladies aro nlrcrt ly (load find otliot* nombors of tho family are ilL As far nsedn jo ascertained, there is no apparont motive for tho.deiiberato crinio, and all offorlfi made dius far to trace tho person or jier.soiis ongei- $ed In the horrible affair have proved a sig nal failure. Tho first intimation of tho coming horror was tho announcement of tho suddon (loath of Miss Annie Nutt, ngod sixteen sister of MiBs Iiirr.lo NUtt.whow betrayal by LN.Dllkei was followed by tho tragic (loafcll of the young girl’s fattier, nitd Subsequently of Dukes, who was slain by JanloR Nutt. Up to Tuesday last she had been in tho enjoyment of perfect health. On tho following day she and all tho other members of tho family woro taken sud- letily ill. In twenty-four hours Annie was lend, Tho explanation given by tho family was that she died from indigestion caused by inting a largo quantity Of uni !|io frtlit. This morning, hdwbver, tho bOrriblo sus- licioii gained currency that the mitt family 10(1 Ih‘011 poL:oiled and that Miss Anilio was tho first victim. This was confirmed by tho examination of tho water of tho Well situ ated in the rear of tho house, into which it was found iioison had been thrown. Doctor John Fuller, the family physician, lias advised tho holding of a . jrost- mortem, ar.d although Mrs. Nutt was at first unwilling, sho finally gave her consent. This evening Miss Nettie Ntttt, another of tho sisters, expired nnd tlie nows of her death was quickly circulated through the town, in tensifying public opinion ovor tho horrifying revolution. Tho water in tho well is iioing analysed, and all aro awaiting with in tense anxiety tho report of tho phy sicians. In tho absence of any known motive of tho criino tho story of tho Nutt scandal and ttio tingle events which fol lowed it aro being excitedly discussed; and, while there may bo no truth in it, tho theory is advanced that somo frionds of Dukes hns resorted to this despicable act to revenge his killing by Miss Lizzio Nutt’s brother. Young Janies Nutt, tho avenger of his sister's honor, who is at homo, and also his sister Liudo, wero both made 111, but their condition is not critical. The story of Miss Nutt's betrayal, the mur der other fathor by Dukes. Ids aequlml, and subsequently his death at tho hands of young Nutt, and tho latter’s trial and acquittal, wero given such wido-spread notoriety that they will bo rocalled readily. Tho shooting of Captain Nutt created a sensation through out tlie entire country. Ho was cashier of tho State treasury,and Dukes, his slayer, was a member-elect of tho legislature. Dukes was arrested and after an exciting trial was acquitted. James Nutt, a cold-blooded, passionless young man, was aroused by the verdict, anu it was oxnoctod that ho would avenge his father’s death. Dukes know this and on on# occasion said: “Jim Nutt may shoot me somo time, but ho will nevor come l>oforo my face and do it. He will shoot mo from lichiiid when I can’t sco him.” Tho friends of Nutt nover allowed him to forgot tho death of his fathor, nor tho man ner in which his sister’s character had been as sailed by Dukas. They wero ovor urging him to kill Dukes. This had an effect on tho boy (ho is only twenty-one now), and whon Dukes mot him on tho stroot ono day Nutt t hought ho laughed at him and told his mother of the occurrence. That settled Dukes’s fate. A few days later Nutt concealed himself near tho postoffice nnd ns Dukes advanced ho shot him in tho bock. Duke# livod only n short tinfh. On his person wero found a revolver and bowie-knife. Nutt surrendered him- solf and was 1 subsequently triod and ac quitted.
