Tin LOCAL PAPEL—The following tribute
to the local paper, from the Chicago d?epub
lie" contains so much truth that we trans
fer it to our columns, and commend it to the
careful cons!deration of our business men
and those interested in our town :
"What tells us so readily the standard of
a town or city as the appearance of its paper?
And its youth or its age can as well be de
termined by the observing as by a personal
notice. The enterprise of its citizen's is
depicted by its advertisements, their liberali
ty by the looks of the paper. Take your
home paper; it gives you more news of ha.
mediate interest than New York or other
papers ; it talks for•you when other localities
belie you, it stands up for your rights ; you
always have a champion fa your home paper.
and those who stand up for you should cer
tainly be well sustained. Your interests are
kindred and.equal,•and yea must rise or fall
together. Theretore, it is to your interest
to support your hove paper; not grudging•
ly, but in a liberal spirit; as a pleasure, not
as a disagreeable linty, but as an investment
that will amply pay they.penditure."

The papers in that soction do not appear to

—The tavern keepers at Indiana, incensed

LOUISVILLE, June 17.—The Mechanics'
Bank, of this city, was this evening at 5
o'clock, the scene of a bold and daring rob
bery. Henry L. Pope, the cashier, was
alone in the bank when two men entered, one
of them placing a knife to the throat of Pope,
threatening him with instant death if he ut•
tered a word, the other taking a handker•
chief saturated with .chloroform, threw it
over his face artd threw a shawl over his
head,
A clerk, returning at half past eight
o'clock, discovered the bank doors open and
called in two policemen, who, hearing gioans
from the rear of the building, discovered
and released Pope from his disagreeable sit
ustion. Mr. Pope was unconscious, and ft
wee some time before he recovered from the
effects of the drug administered.
The robbers, as soon as the' chloroform
had taken effect, carried Pope to a room in
the back part of the building and locked him
in. The robbers then proceeded in a syste•
matic manner with their work - at cleaning
out the bank. Sixty thousand dollars in
money was secured and carried off, and twelve
or thirteen thousand dollars left scattered all
over the floor.
A great fire occurred in the Pera District,
is Constantinople, Turkey, on the 9th inst.,
destroying over 7,000 buildings, and burning
to death and killing by the falling wails over
2 500 -persons. At some points whole fam
ilies were hemmed in by the flames and per
ished in full view of the spectators who were
unable to rescue them. some of the Turks
in the spirit of fatalism peculiar to their race
and religion, shut themselves up in their
burning houses and refused asistanee and
wet death without u murtuur.

HOEtRIBLB.—thie evening last week sev- , '
eral gentlemen visited the graves of departed
friends that are buried in the Union Church
graveyard. While sitting beside the mounds
that mark the inting place of the loved ones,
they were attracted by some hard substance
in the grave at their fort;upon examination
it proved to be a human skull. Is it possi
ble that the bones of our departed friends
have to bo exhumed to find room to bury the
recent dead ? Is not this enough to stimulate
our citizens (that love their dead) to make
every exertion in securing a cemetery, so that
we can feel assured that after we are gone
our remains will be undisturbed? Are there
not. some feeling, noble hearted men in our
midst wha will, start this christian project ?

CEIIIROU Dows.—lbe work of removing
the old Reformed Church building in this
place was commenced on Tuesday morning.
A member of the church in this place' re•
quests the publication of the following verses .
as apprapripte to the occasion :
Take them out tenderly, lift them with care,
For every old timber is seasoned with prayer ;
And gently remove them—the old plastered walls—
Where sad and faintly the last echo falls.
And take out the windows ; the light streaming
through,
Though not "dim and religions," lit every pew,
Where fathers and naLthers united in prayer,
And we felt "that the spirit of worship was there."
There the youth and the maiden together have
• stood,
And plighted their troth in the presence of God,
Tnere parents have promised to tenderly rear
Their children in "holiness, justice and fear."
While out from that pulpit, so old and so worn,
Dark warnings and threatening& often have come,
nd gently God's prorates fell on the ear,
To whisper of mercy dispelling eaoh fear.
And hushed is the organ; its last solemn lay
In darkness and silence is dying away ;
And tolling so mournfully sad, like a knell,
Fall the deep moaning tones of the old worn-out
bell.
And silent the voices that once filled the choir ;
They sang with the spirit, and theirs the true fire.
But some have gone home—they are still praising
biod,
While others yet meekly "pass under the rod."
But thy clays aro all numbered, old 6=13, on the
green,
The last of thy stately pew soars will be seen,
And old_things must go to make way for thernew•
For the hearts that once laved thee are scattered
and few.
Then take down the pillars,, and unhinge the doors
Remove the old pulpit, and take out the floors ;
For one of the lessons that here we were taught

Good bye, then, dear church, with thy windows so.

With the very plain aisles, and thy old battered wall;
VVe love the old gallery. empty and cold,
Now frescoed all over with cobwebs and mould.
But much as we ove thee aid church on the green,.
Thou art growing too old, it is plain to be seen,
And Time's busy fingers have done tbeir work well,
From pulpit to Inen, from the aisles to the bell.
But while Time has been spoiling our church on
the green,
Crowds of true ivorshippers weekly were seen,,
And the record is kept, for God's angel of love
has written it down in the Temple above.
BE IrAPPY.-It is the easiest thing in the
world to be happy, if men and women would
only think so. Happiness is only 9 , 4 other
name `or love; for where love exists In a
household there happiness musralso exist,
even though it has poverty for a close com
panion. Where love exists not, even though
it be a palace, happiness can never come. He

saying that .9rw-hera Poverty comes in at one
door Love-flies-out at_the window _ ;" and-hie
assertion proves conclusively that he had no
knowledge of love ; for, unquestionably, the
reverse of the maxim quoted is nearer the
truth. When poverty comes in at the door,
love, truelove, is more than ever inciined•to
tarry and do battle with the enemy. Let
those who imagine themselves miserable, be

life ; it bath not more ease, but less danger ,
it is more merry and more bad;, it is fuller
of sorrows and fuller of joys ; i 6 lies under
more burdans, but is supported by all the

of the world, and preserves kingdoms. and
fills cities, and churches and heaven itself.—

with delicacies, and obeys its king, and keeps
order, and exercises many virtues, and pro.
motes the interest of mankind, and is that
state of good to which God bath, designed
the present constitution of the world.
