We will send the Dallas RurrBUCAV and Dkmre9t's Monthly, which is itself $3 for one year, to any person who pays us l Demorkst's Monthly stands unrivalled as a Family Magazine. Its choice Literature, its superior Music, its large amount of valuable informat on on miscellaneous subjects, its practical and reliable information in regard to the fashivns, and artistic illustration, give it a just claim to its well-earuel title, "The Model .Magazine of America." Jt'i'isiosi of Ji a racier. From the New Jersey Mechanic. It is but a truism to say that there .can be no success in life without deci sion of character. In spitt; t IV Quincy's protest, we believe that John .Foster, in his celebrated essay. iii n t exuberate the ituportanco of that quality, though we admit it is not fctiictly a moral power, and that the .tuost inexorable dcci.o'ion is u tieh more closely connected with physical diil- r ences of temperatuetit than with anv superiority of mind Decision of mit.d, like vigor of body, is a ;itt of (5oi It cannot be created by human eflort. It can only be cultivated It has I con truly said that, as resolution, or strength of will is a primary power in man, there is no higher power that can give birth to it, lor this higher power would necessarily involve the existence of the lower that was to be produced. But every man has the germ of this quality, which can be cultivated by favorable circumstances and motives presented to the mind ; and by method and order in ihe prosecutions of his duties or task1, he may by habit greatly augment his will-power, and beget a frame of mind bo nearly resembling resolution that it would be dfficult to distinguish between the two. Here, as elewhere, 44 the .statures of the perfect man," is attained by a slow gradation of travail study, effort and patience. The whole armor can n not be put on at once. The first victory will render the succeeding ones asier, uatij the very combat will be desired for the luxury of certain con quest. " The angel of martyrdom, is brother to the angel of victory." But, whether inborn or acquired, decision is a quality vitally important to him who would get on in the world. Even brains are secondary in impor tance to will. A vacillating man, no matter what his abilities, is invariably pushed aside in the race of life by the man of determined will It is he who resolves to succeed, and who at every fresh rebuff begins resoulutcly again, that reaches the goal. The shores of fortune are covered with the stranded wrecks of brilliant ability, but who have wanted courage, faith and decision, and have therefore perished in sight of more resolute but less capable adventurers who .succeeded in making port. Hundreds jof men go to their graves in obscurity, 3vho have been obscure only because they lack the pluck to make the first effort; and who, could they have only resolved to begin, would have astonish ed the world by their achievements and successes. The fact is as Sydney Smith well said : " That in order to do any thing in this world that is worth doing we must not stand shivering on the bank, and thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. It will not do to be perpetually calculating and adjusting nice chances; it did all very well before the flood, when a man could consult his friends upon an iutended publication for a hundred and fifty years, and then live to see its success tor six or seven centuries afterwards; but at present a man waits, and doubts, and hesitates, nnd consults his brotlici, and his uncles and his first cousins, and his particular frierds till one day he finds that he is sixty five years of age. That he had lot so much time in consulting first cousins and particu lar friends, that he has no more time to follow their advice." The world was not mae for slaw, squeamish, fastidi ous men, but for those that act instan taneously and with power. Obstacles and perplexities every man must meet, and he must either promptly conquer them, or thy will conquer him. It is rarely that the comparative good and evil of different modes of action are equally balanced ; and he who would do anything to the purpose in this world, should perceive the tlightist inequation of the beam with an eagle's glance.

A BitAVt: Woman On !a-t Sunday eveniiie a Mrs. DefTenhaeker, residing in Siuslavv valley, left home, with a child about one year old, to meet h r husband who had early in the day cone to the house of a neighbor. The road lays through thick brush, and she had proceeded about a quarter of a mile when attention wa.-i attracted to the singular action of a youn do; which accompanied her. She .stopped to admire and wonder at hb clownish gymnastics. II cr wonder, however, was soon changed tr con-tcrnatiou, for on looking up she discovered in a tree at a distance of about forty feet from the ground, a lare cougar in the atti tude of springing upon her. She real ized her dangerous condition, and knew the safety of herself and child depended on her coolness. She fixed her ejes upon the monster and retreated until flic reached a Geld near the residence of Mr. Barlow, where she shouted un til Mr. A. J Barlow put iu his appear ance.

I, A Desperate and Important Political Struggle In North Carolina. A Washington dispatch to the New York I'imt's say : "The political situation in North Carolina is becoming very interesting, from the alleged fact that that State is the battle ground of the Ku Klux in the trial of their scheme to overturn the prescut State Constitutions of the Southern States. The issue, however, which presents itself publicly is be tween the Democratic and Republican parties direct, and the result of the ehction of delegates to the Constitu tional Convention will decide which party shall hold supremacy in the State for a series of years The Dem ocrats boldly avow t heir purpose, in the event of the Convention being called, to be the expulsion of all the present Judges, and the substitution f Dem oeraf in their places, elected by the Legislature,- with a life-tenure.

" Well, can't say, stranger, as how she's fo far lost as to be induced, but t lien "he's gone and disgraced us," re marked the afflicted father. " Yes, neighbor, and not as I should say it as is her mother, but there warn't a pootier gal iu the Wr est than my Sal ; she's gone and brought ruin on us and her own head, now," followed the stricken mother. " Who has she gone with ?" asked the visitor. " Well, there's the trouble. The gal could have done well, and might have married Martin Kehoe, a capital shoe maker, who, although bo's got but one eye, plays the flute in a lively manner, and earns a good living Then look what a home and what a life she has deserted She was hero surrounded by all the luxury in the country," "Yes, nnd who knows what poor Sal will have 'o eat or drink, or wear, now," "And who is the fellow that has taken hor from you. to lead her into such misery ?" quoth the stranger.

Another of those sad calamities which we have so frequently been called upon to record, involving the sacrifice of human life to the restless flow of the great cataract, has transpired the pre sent week. Two more men have been swept over the FaUs of Niagara, mak ing in all five persons who have in this way perished during the present sum mer. No living person saw the terrible event, or witnessed the agonized strug gle which they doubtless m..de agiiu-t the fate which had overtaken them, but the circumstantial evidence is such as to leave no question but that they lost their lives in the manner stated Alexander Lancilot, a Fiench Cana dian, has for some time resided with his wife und three children on Navy Island, where, doubtless, he has been visited at his home by more than one to whose eyes this record may come. Last Wednesday morning he crossed in his boat to Chippewa for the purpo-e of getting supplies. At the usual time lie did not return, and the distress of his of family grew greater and greater when j hour alter hour pa-sd without bringing anv tidings of him. At Chip: ewa. too, J others were fcen in mouniini; for when the news reached them that Lancilot had not rrturncd to Navy Island, it was made known that he Marted away from th- hore at twelve o'clock la-t Wednesday night, accompanied in his bo it by a u:ui named IM ward Hogar-du-, belonging to that village. The rou'e they were obliged to take lies but a little way above the rapid.

A crowd a-sembicd at No '1'Z'l in the above- mimed street, and looked long and ear nestly at the closed windows id" the house. A terrible tragedy bad occurred there one of the last, and perhaps the worst, of the Orange riot. Mr Kuward .T, i. Caffncy, a go.ntl man of courage, soldi ess and dt. termi nation, beloved by everyone who en joyed his acquaintance, a wit and h umorist of n com toon order, was ;1 member of company 11. 1Mb regime. t, National Ginnl On Wednesday, the morning of the riot, his young wife locked him iu his room and prevented him from reporting at the regimental headquarters. Believing that there W)tild be no difficulty between the military and the people, he laughed at his wife, made no attempt to break out, and lav down and slept until evening, lie got very much excited when he heard the news of the riot and the loss of life ; he could not be appeased, lie brooded over the matter, and developed ait the symptoms of melancholy mad ness This continued until yesterday, when it had a terrible termination. Having heard that his absence from his post in the regiment was commented on by his comrades, he grew very much worse, and about noon, while sitting at. the dinner table, suddenly produced a razor, which he had concealed on his person, and drew it across his throat. An alarm was given immediately, and Dr. Kdward Bradley, of West Twenty fourth Street, rushed to the scene. Two other physicians afterward arrived, but their efforts were useless. The gentle man expired iu the arms of his friend, Mr. W. H. Stephens, who opportunely arrived. Mr. (Jaffney received the con solation of religion from two pastors of his church while he was yet conscious His death has caused a profound sensa tion, not only in the 9th regiment, but. in the entire National Guard.
