THE STREAM OF DEATH.
There is a stream whose narrow tide
The known and unknown worlds divide,
Where all must go;
Its waveless waters, dark and deep,
Mid suIlen silence, downward sweep
With moanless Aow.
saw where, at that dreary food,
A smiling infant prauling stood,
Whose hour was come;
Untaughl Of i'll, il neared the tide,
Sunk, as to crsdle-Iest, and died
Like going home.
Followed with laDguid eye anon,
A youth, diseased, and pale, and wan;
And there alone
He gazed upon the leadea stream,
And feared 70 plunge-I heard scream,
And he was gone.
And then form in manhooS's strength
Came busting on, till there at length
He saw life's bound:
He SHRINK and raised the bitter prayer
Too late-his shrek Of wild despair
The waters drowned.
Next stood upon the surgeless shore
A being bowed with many a score
OF toilsome years.
Earth abound and sad he left the bank,
Back turned his dImming eye, and sank,
' Ali foil Of fears.
How bitter must thy waters be,
o Death How hard thing, ali me
Ii is to die!
I mused-when TO that stream again,
Another child OF mortal meu

THE GLOBE AND Mr.. WEDsrrR.-

The GLOBE AND Mr.. WEBsrER.-
The official organ has recently been at
tempting one Of its characteristic mis-.
representations against the Senator from
Massachusetts and it has made sig
nal failure. The facts Of the case are
these. Mr.. Webster brought before the
Senate the misconduct Of the collector at
Boston, in paying certain government
dues with checks on the Commonwealth
Bank, knowing the bank to be insolvent,
and on the eve of failure. Maddened at
this exposure, the Globe thought proper
to insinuate that Mr.. Webster was him.
self defaulter to the Commonwealth
Bank for $4,000, a note Of his being held
for that amount by the bank, under pro-
test. Mr.. W. denied the charge in the
amplest and most unequivocal language
that could be used the Globe repeated
the insinuation, with varieties and then
the facts came out. In December 1886,
Mr., Webster drew a bill at Washington,
for $4,000 on a person in Portland,
payable in six months. The bill was
otpaid by the acceptor, and was re-
turned protested, 10 the Commonwealth
Bank, in which it had been lodged for
collection. Mr.. Webster, the drawer,
was notified of the non-payment, and
the amount was Immediately paid by
him.
This is the true history out Of which
the honest Globe has made his charge Of
Mr.. Webster's having his notes protest
ed in the Commonwealth Bank for ten
thousand dollars at a time.--N. York

SENATOR ALLEN.--On Monday, in
the Senate, Mr.. Allen presented the Dec
laration Of the General Assembly OF this
State. He did not inform the Senate
that he would conform his conduct to the
rules therein laid down. How is this!
The Ohio Eagle assured the public on
former occasion, that Mr.. Allen, if in.
structed, would obey or resign; and Mr.
Medill stated in the debate upon the dec
laration, that il could be considered in
no other light than as binding upon the
Senators in Congress. We now call up
on that gentleman, and his friend of the
Eagle, to erplain.s Why has not Mr..
Allen obeyed the expressed voice Of the
Assembly, Or resigned his seat to bet
ter MANI In what respect does his con-
duct differ from Mr.. Ewing's course on
a similar occasions? And if there be no
difference in the conduct Of Hyperion

nunciations of the former, at this time SO
mute in reference to the latter Jour.

LANDING OF THE PATR1oTs in UPPER

LANDING OF THE PATRIoTs in UPPER
CANADA.-In an extra issued yesterday
we gave the cheering intelligence Of the
landing of the Patriots on Fighting ISL
and, U. c. about four miles below Sand
wich, at / o'clock, P. M. on Saturday
afternoon, wich was furnished us by lei
ter from gentlemen who proceeded
hither to observe their movements and
communicate the earliest intelligence of
their landing to our citizens. Expecta.
ton was on tip-toe, and every thing
seemed to augur favorably for the cause
Of the oppressed Canadians, till their
landing upon the Island, when too late it
was ascertained that the man (Col. Vre-
land) to whom the principle part ofarms
and ammunition were entrusted, had
proved recreant to his trust, and, instead
Of conveying them TO the Island, gave
himself up, with the arms in his possess
sion, to the U. S. authorities, and, it is
said, is now in Jail in Detroit. From
this il may be inferred that their situation
within the vicinity of a considerable force
Of British troops, and hourly expecting
an attack, was critical one, against
which they had no immediate means Of
defence. Early on the morning Of Sum
day, they were attacked by the British
to the number Of 500 or more, with sew
eral field pieces, and the firing was kept
up principally on the part Of the British
for three or four hours, wounding but 2
ofthe Patriots, who were mostly without
arms, and only mustered at the time Of
the attack, los menl No cowardice
was shown, and the conduct Of Gen. Nc
Leod, and we may add that Of our fel-
low townsman, Capt. William Dodd,
who were the last to leave, was such as
to establish their reputation for courage
and GOODNESS, and though the attempt, to
the disappointment Of every lover d
freedom, has partially failed, no blame
can be attached to Gen. Mcleod. Had
he been present on this frontier on the
breaking out Of the revolution, when q
much strongerforce was ready to march
into Canada, and when too, but little re-
sistance would have been offered BY the
American authorities, no doubt is enter
tanned that the Patriot tri-colosed flag
would now be proudly waving through
out upper Canada, bidding defiance 10
the oppressors of mankind, and cheering
onward The brave hearts who had thus

that the division of the Patriots which

BUrFALo, Feb. 8, 1888.
Our annuity, due in June, 1888, still

declined accepting, unless the whole a.

to buy provisions, and resort to every
