The hundreds Of idle young men scattered
throughout the country, and lounging about IN
our large towns furnish indisputab!e evidence
hat many Of the rising generation are contract
ing habits which, in after life must cause large
amount of sorrow and wretchedness. Labor Is
notrespected as il should be and the consequence
Is that idleness takes the place OF industry, and
overty, CHASTITY and wretched, that OF cheerful
ness and content.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2lst, 1s4i
The confirmation Of our worthy Postmaster, John C
Montgomery Esq, by the Senate of the United States
has gwen the most general satisfaction, The Loco
foco vituperatcn against that tried and staunch friend
OF General Harrison, has assumed such n malignant
and infamous character and the charges of abolition
ism and sectaranism preferred against him, were SO
entirely destitute of TRUTH that the orienators of the
SANDER only dsgraced themselves, without being able
to create the slightest impression upon the public mind
As TO the charge of sectaransm is practically con-
iued by the fact that the clerks in post Office be-
long TO all denominations Of Christians and that there
are, also two more Jews among them; and with re-
gard to the charge of aboonism, every one acquant
cd with Mr.. Montgomery, with the incidents of his
life knows 1t to be barefaccd falsehood as was
ever uttered by the most malicious political partisan
against successful leader Of the opposite party Mr.
Montgomery is a staunch friend of the administration
of John Tyler, able and industrious public officer
a gentleman Of agreeable and afable manners, and
man of most unimpeachabe character and sense Of
honor repeat it-no person in the city or county of
Philadelphia would have given half the general salts

A SOLDIERS STORY.

We have before Us the manuscript narrative
Of Mr. JOIN w GOD. an American soldier Of the
last war, who has been twenty eight wears sepa-
rated from his family and friends by being in
fact prisoner in the British East India service
His narrative bears almost the impress OF fiction,
so strange are the incidents through which he
has passed; but his appearance indicates that he
is one who has no motive for deception, and
those who know him, of whom there are two
or three respectable citizens, vouch for the truth
of his statements.
This spring when Mr.. Wood got able to trav-
el, he left Detroit and travelled over the old bat
tie ground, and from thence TO Fort WAYNE and
Lafayette on the Wabash river, expecting TO 90
down the Wabash on steamboat, but the water
being too low, he took passage in a two horse
wagon with friend to Belleille, Illinois, and
from there walked to st. Louis. After remain
ing week or more, he left for Natchez on Sun
day last, on board the steamboat Gen. Pratte,
in search of his family. What must be the feel

HOPE.

HOPE.
IL HuPE be dead--why seek to live7
For what beside has Life TO giye7
Love, Life and Youth, and Beauty, too,
If Hope be dead-say what are you7
Lore without Hope 1t cannot be,
There is a vessel on yon sea
Becalmed and sailess as Despair,
And know-'tis helpless Love floats there.
Life without Hope Oh that is not
To livel but, day by day, TO rot
With feelings cold and passions dead
10 wander Ger the world, and tread
Upon its beauties; and to gaze,
Quite vacant DER its fowery maze
Oh think, If this be Life then say
Who lives when Hope has fled away 7"
Youth without Hope A endless night,
Trees which have felt the cold springs blight,
The lightning flashes and the thunder's strife,
Yet pine away weary life
Which older would have sunk and died
Beneath the stoke their youth defed-
But curst with length Of days, are LEFT
To rail at Youth of Hope bereft.
And Beauty, too, when Hope is gone
Has lost the ray in which il shone
And, seen without this borrowed light,
Has lost the beam which made il bright.
Now what avail the silken hair,
The angel smile and gentle air,
The beaming eye, and glance refined
Faint semblance Of that purer mind
As gold dust, sparkling in the sun,
Points WHARF the richer strata run
Alas they now just seem to be
Bestowed TO mock at Misery.
They speak Of days long, long gone by,
Then point to cold Reality,
And with death like smile, they say
"Oh what are we when Hopes away"
Then Lore, LIFE, Youth and Beauty, too,
When seen without Hopes bright ming hue,
All sigh in MISERY'S saddest tone,
why seek to live Hope be gone ?"
