TRANQUILITY OF MIND.
“ ’Tis the great art of life, to manage well the
restless mind.”
These maxims are slrietly true. It is of
the highest impmtaneo to health, to pie
servothe tranquility of mind, and not to

Method. — If there is in the works of
creation one principle pre-eminently devel
oped, it is that of order. The seasons an t
tlieii cli-Bge— atiimmils, plants and min

and run also into the system of tin' gre.u
whole. The operations of narme an grad
ual, hut certain arid perfect Tins punciple
so coDstarfly before us, is nevertheless lost
upon us io tho way of imitation. Many
men, many millions of meu, waste their en
ergies in misdirected efforts, that if guid' and
by order, would have achieved what ntlieis •
succeed in, with infinitely le-'s ejection,
and a little more mrtho I. A man without
order is a man without quiet—a thousand
things draw Ins attention ' iff rent ways,
and all his actions are independent enter
prises, making no part of a gt nerd plan id
life. Thorn are a few instances-, but they
are exceptions, where the mind in its op
erations has the most ex act habits ot order,
whde it re ver prompts thn possessor U act

Mysterious Circumstance. —Considerable
excitement has been created in the city by
the following art of daring villainy, the mo
tives of which are still enveloped in mys
tery. About half past 11 o flock on Thurs
day night a respectable young lady aged 18
yoats was returning down Ileal staot Broad
way from a partv, with her parents and some
other friends ;the yoang lady had got in ad
vance of her companions about one hun
dred yards , when within a few paces ol iff
corner of Elm and Pearl, a mail darteo
from behind a tlarge cask throw a rope a
round or over bar head, and irontedistel
flad, whiln some persons at the other ee
of the rope commenced hauliug it with ra
i pidity towards Elm street. The young

• fcooise fled. The * euug lady swooned

tope was found attuci.i .1 by a noose to the
; bonnet end her reticule, which she had
dropped ui throw ing up her binds to pro
i tect hei uuck Loin the rope, found at sumo
j distance from vvlierg the assault was made.
All this was the work of an iust nt ami had

; rnintiles would in ail probability, have suf
! ficed to stangle her.
The pet sou who fiist found th.e bonnet
I did not in-mu,•o.ilV'l a rope was attached to
