MThLtw fBetalUtlB ' ' ; On Sunday morning Kev.Dr. Wilson dis- ;d the law ; of retaliation, and other lnts suggested by the latter portion of thd fifth chapter Of Matthew,' with singular power, clearness and pointednesa. It was a masterly discourse, very tboughfuL very lu cid, very cogent, very impressive, It was the most, practical Sermon we have heard in years, ( and kvfe regret that every; man t ; aa .oman in Wilmington did not hear It. kHf discussion of .the law of retaliation was from the Christian stand-point and was as scrip tural as felicitous and forceful. It Is true there: were some .hard; sayings, but they were true sayings. 'But in this he was faith-i ful to the teachings of the Master, and ela borated, explained and ; enforced some Of those sublime and exalted teachings that seem to the natural eye and natural under standing so perplexing and so impossible." The law of retaliation lies at the very foundation of civil society, but ! it is not placed in the hands of the private Individ ual for vindication and enforcement ' It is the natural feeling, of the human, heart to Retaliate when assailed, and ito return in jury neither Aristotle por Cicero ever conceived hi any ideal manhood that was . invested with the virtues and graces withjwhich the true hero of Christianity stands : clothed as he is sketched by the awful pencil of the Master of life arid death. The standard of excellence, the , pattern of perfection, at once complete and symmetrical, which Christ sets up, is far above any imaginings of the wisest philosophy, or any of the con ceptions of the most adventurous poet. .The Master forbids all private retaliation and revenge. He teaches that murder is but the ripened fruit of sinful anger that charity to all men is absolutely right that forgiveness of injuries is a noble Christian Virtue that we should exercise a disposi tion to oblige others whenever it is possible to do so that it is manlike to love our. friends, but it is godlike -to love our enemies. These are not so much the points pre sented in the able discourse as suggestions excited by it Verged ReceaimeadMieM .Persons who are under the necessity, as nearly every family must be at times, of employing1 servants of whose experience. capacity and good .qualities generally they have no- personal knowledge, should be very careful as to what sort of recommen dations or certificates of character are pre sented for their consideration, satis fying themselves particularly as to the genuine ness of the' article, even if they have to go to the'trouble of submitting it to the im partial consideration (?) of a returning board or a grand high commission. In stances are no doubt frequently occurring I which go to prove the propriety of proper judgment and discretion in thlamatter; one of which has just come to our knowledge.' It seems that a colored woman who had been employed in a family as cook took it ; into her head to leave very unceremonious ly, thus putting her employers to consider able trouble and inconvenience.. Shortly afterwards the woman called upon or sent to the lady of the house for. a recommen dation. The lady, in. the kindness of her heart, wrote , her one, giving her a pretty good general character, but cand idly stating as the principal fault she found with her the fact that she had left her employ with out giving her proper notice of her intentions Not satisfied with this certificate, the wo man got some one to rewrite it, leaving out Ue objectionable features, and making it much stronger generally than the lady could have conscientiously, written it, on the strength of which she succeeded in get ting ' an;, excellent place, t A- gentleman friend Of both families, who ; saw the cer tificate, being surprised that the lady should have given the woman such a strong recom mendation after what had occurred, ap proached her on the subject, when the fact of the forgery Was brought to light A Female Pickpocket. Martha Williams.the colored woman who I was arrnatprl a. few davfl asro on the charsre of a poctet-book from Charles Herring, but was released because the pro secuting witness, who is an employe on one of the railroads, failed to make his ap pearance before the Court, was again ar rested yesterday on the charge of stealing another pocket-book, with its contents, from one Ramas Thomas, colored, on Fri day night last It appears that Thomas had the pocket book in a pocket in the back part of his pants, and the accused, having volunteered to fasten one of his suspenders, took the occasion to abstract the pocket- book while doing so.

' After march ing for some distance, at the request of the prisoners, they were allowed to step aside from the road, accompanied by the colored guard, and just here the fan came in; for, no sooner had the two men gained , the cover of the woods than a bargain was struck with the guard, who were bribed to the tune of five ; dollars each, when the prisoners fled for parts unknown, ' leaving the tobacco, wagons,' horses, clothing and ther effects in the hands of the capturing arty. 1 . . .
