Pagan, but his religion consisted hi doing good he had never seen the light that went out from the holy city and illumined the world, but the innate promptings of his nature—the "still small voice" that whispered in the deep recesses of bis soul, told, him it was far better to do good, than evil.

With the luxuries of the Roman world at his command, be never forgot the duty he owed to himself and mankind.

Who can look back on their past lives and say "I have lost but one day—who so jealous at lime, can mark with such a glorious dial, its flight. As swift as the swoop of the eagle, almost as rapid as the transition of thought, does time measure the hours, the days, the months and the years as they pass by us.— Furrows are marked on our brow, and the frost is sprinkled on our hair—time flies and we grow old. The form is bent, the arm palsied, the eye dimmed, the brain reels, we gasp, and the "lust days" come trooping up before us—retrospection brings them all fresh before the mind's eye—we die, and well will it be for us if we can say ''rfuni pcrjlidi"—1 have lost butane day.

row tit of tbe Wott.s A single fact in

Tho Cliicugo Press says regard to the business of the two great Railroads which connect our city with the East, most strikingly demonstrates the wonderfully rapid growth of the West. The entire earnings of the Michigan Central Railroad for the year ending June, 1852, (during which year it was the only leading across the peniusula of Michigan, as the Michigan Southern line was only opened for use in Juno, 1852,) were f&jooofoiv, niiuv vtiio jcai iuu gruss earuriigs of the two lines of the road will probably exceed $5,000,000. The transportation of our outward bound products, aud importation of merchandize to and from the port of Chicago, by the Lake, during tho same period, have fairly kept pace with the wonderful increase of railroad business. No wonder, in view of these facts, that stocks in the above and in those important lines which connect the Mississippi and Lake Michigan, are sought after by capitalists with so much avidity, and that they so readily command the comparatively high rates at which they are now held nor is it at all wonderful that those who have any conception of the immense resources of the West which yet remain undeveloped, have an abiding confidence that its business must go on increasing in a still more rapid rapid ratio, and that stocks in its judiciously located railroads must continue to be among the safest and,,most lucrative investments of capital."

'Tis true, this entertainment was originated by the Odd Fellows—but it is a gratuity on their part—they give, but roceive nothing back.

Canal rs. the City

Mr. Watson, in the employ of H. D. Williams Co., was very badly hurt the other day, by the upsetting of his wagon filled with salt, while crossing the bridge leading over the Canal from 4tli street.

We believe there is a difference of opinion,

the bridges crossing the W. E. Canal, the Trustees or the Council. We will not hazard an opinion upon that question, but one thing is plain, the city of Terre-Haute is bound to keep her streets in a passing condition, and she is responsible to any one who receives an injury from hsr nc gleet in this particular. If it is the duty of the Canal Trust to repair those bridges, and it re fuses to do it, then the Common Council should have it done, and recover from the Oa nal the expenso

We cant see how the city exonerate herself, if an accident should occur. Look to this, gentlemen in authority, for it is worthy of your consideration.

Those desultory thoughts are suggested, owing to the fact, that on Thursday evening, at Corinthian Hall, it is proposed to give an an entertainment for the relief of the poor— the poor that are here among us. The proceeds derived from this entertainment, are to be placed in the hands of a committee, chosen thatevening for the purpose, and by them appropriated whenever and wherever, in their best judgment, an appropriation ought to be made. It is a noble movement and one, w^e have no doubt, will meet with a generous responco from all the ladies and gcQtlemen of the city.

In the city of Indianapolis they have built up a munificent fund for this purpose and Mrs. Mary F. Love, as Secretary of the Society, in her annual report, sayt:

Through the influence of the Society, directly and indirectly, seventeen widows and foj ty-one orphans have been assisted all of whom were temporarily relieved, while several received permanent aid.

They have also built an Asylum, costing $3,000, where the poor widow and orphan are care for until other provisions are made, and on this subject, iu the same report is the fol lowing:

Within the year, thirteen children have1 been committed to the care of the Society, six of whom have been provided with houses while seven are still unclor its charge. Applications are made almost every week, aud day, for aid, and admission into the Asylum, which in many cases it has been the painful duty of.the Managers to refuse, on account of the uuus,ual expenses of the Society the past year, incident to building, and there having already

A Komautic Incident at Sevastopol. A oldier who was present at the capture of Sevastopol, relates the following romantic story:

A party of our vtietf, belonging to different regiments, were parolling from house to house in search of plunder. In one of the houses they came across a beautiful young femalo.about 17 or 18 years of ag«. Of course some ignorance was shown~among the party, who commenced toidrag her about,and wnuld have used violence to her, had not a young man, belonging to the 18th, taken a musket and threatened to blow the first man's brains out that laid a finger upon her whereupon the the young woinau flewto this man. and clung to him for protection. She followed him all the way back to the camp when coming in sight of the camp, he beckoned her to return —but no, she would not leave him. Whether she had fallen in love with him at firstsight I don't know. But she came with him. As soon as he got there he was instantly confined for being absent when the regiment was under arms. She followed him to the guard tent, and cried after him. The Colonel of his,regiment, seeing the affection she bore, released him and sent them both to General Harris, where an interpreter was got and she- related the whole affair to them. It turned out that shs was a General's daughter, with some thousands. She was beautifully attired, and carried a gold watch, and wore a set of bracelets of immense value. The yonng man is now about to married to her. She will not leave him for a moment, on, any account whatever and if he is not a lucky dog, I don't know who is.

The Liquor Dcciniou.

We published an abstract yesterday of the Decision of Judge Perhins, on the Prohibitory Liquor Law. The points he raises will be considered with interest, as embodying the views of the liquor manufacturers and sellers in the premises.

The Judge ia a'swift witness' in this matter—has all along put himself forward—and will donbtless receive his reward from the liquor interest which he courts. He is welcome to their applause much comfort may it be to him.

Tho Judge and Gov. Wright are not the best friends in the world, aud this affair will produce still greater estrangement. The Gov. stands as the champion of the law, and the Judge as its deadly enemy. We hope they will have a good time in quarreling over the matter in the 8th of January convention—the Judge and his Bright patrons, and the Governo and his sapprters.—[Indiana Republi'n.

A gentleman who has been traveling very extensively through Tennessee and Kentucky duting the fall months, informs, us that hogs are more numerous in Ten-, nesseo and Southern Kentucky than they wore last year, and that the utmost exerertions are making to prepare them fori market.

In the^mailiet for teef caffle there is more ease the supply is belter, and the! decline in beef anu beef cattle in the east operate upon the general tone of our market. The current range for good beeves, such as packers buy, is $6 50@7 per cwt. net.—Cin. Prke Cur., 14th.

A Co., of the mammoth pork-house, expect several thousand head in a few days. It has been ectimated that 300,000 hogs would be slaughtered round the Falls this season, but we now think the number will exceed 325,000, and probably 350,000.

There i»a bolter feeling in the market than has prevailed for sometime, though, in consequence of continued striozeucy in money matters, many buyers are holding back. The pre vailing quotations for good hog*,' delivered at the pen, are 6(g&ic. net, while drovers in tbe country arearsking 4^c. on time.
