we are, now that we have u war, for fight

glory OF the nation. We would not throw
a single obstacle in the way of the Admin

the contrary, we would have the arm Of
the Executive strengthened with all the
power and resources of the nation. We
would have the war vigorously and ehi-
clently conducted. We are. in other

labor to prove the contrary and we may
condemn the acts of the one without sub
jectIng the other to reproach. Mr.. Polk
is the serUani of the people, and they have
q right to call him TO account for his mis-
deeds. He involved the country in this
war; he ordered our army to march to the
Rio Grande, which produced the collision
of arms. Upon him, then, rests al. It's
fearful responsibilities. And, while the
people are willing 10 lend him every aid

THE RIGHT SORT OF STUFF.

Some fifteen years 90 two strangers
met on Cilarlestown bridge. One was a
young man fresh and green from the
country, with his wardrobe in a bundle
under his arm, and tie olher a resident of
the city. For some reason not easily ex-
planned, they halted and something like
the following conversation ensued:
COUNTRY LAD.-Sir, DO you know any
place where | can get anything to do?
CITIzEN.-I don't know that | do
What sort OF employment arc you seek
ing for?
COUNTRY LAD.-Well, I'm not partic-
ular. | calculated OH teaching school
when | left home; but they told me, back
here, that they thought l couldn't get one
about here. Do you know Of any stable
where they want a had
Finding the countryman was ready for
ANYTHING in the way OF work, the gentle
man told him where he might get en-
ployment as q hand-cart-man and chore-
man, and bid him good bye.
l. was not long after this casual inter-
view that the young man sought ont his
adv ser.& Thanked HIN for helping himloa
place. lie had found the place TO which
he had been recommended, and had then
frn employment in a retail g@rocer's store,
in caring packages and doing jobs OF dll-
fereni kinds. From this humble begin
ninr, he worked his way along in the
world. to he clerk in the store, then into
a wholesale establishment and finally TO
be a partner in the same concern. He -
now reputed to be worth from $4,000 70
1900 dollars.
So much for energy and perseverance,
with a willingness to do any honest
work for a living. Men Of slTh sost ct

nurr 7 LOVED ALosE.

The stars may pale, the moon may fail
To rear her silver crest;
The sun may pour his rays no more
Along the parpling west;
The robe of night, with jewels bright
No more may glad the eye,
Nor Flushing day, in bright array
Ride up the orient sky
On early wing, the lark may sing
His maiin song no more;
Nor Oceans wave, in beauty lave
lis silver-sanded shore.
The smiling plain, may near again
It's vernal tints unfold;
Nor Flora's brow, be twined as now,
With wreathes Of wavy gold,
Bat ever shall my memory,
My brightest, faires' one,
Be hallow'd by a thought OF thee,
Whom | have loved alone.

AN EVENING PRAYER.

Oh, Thou! to whom the shades of night
Are radiant, as the noon-day light
THoU who art Light-Thyself the stream
Whence light of Sun and Stars doth gleam:
To THEE, | raise my Evening Prayer,
And supplicate Thy guardian care.
Oh, Thou! whose word bid chaos yield
The countless worlds which stud the field
Of azure space-which keepeth still
In motion ceaseless--by Thy will
Those brilliant orbs-deign now TO hear
Thy suppliant creatures evening prayer.
Spurn not, oh GoD, from Mercy's throne
A child, who comes his guilt to own
But pardon grant, to him who dies,
If this-his prayer-his God denies
Let me. thy spirit breathing, hear,
"Son, Itorgire--be Of good cheer"
And FATHER, I've a boon to crave
For one, whom Thou, in mercy, gave
To share with me, my lotin life,
My fondly priced, tho absent wife
Be Thou with her. and oh may she
Be RENDERED meet to dwell with Thee.
Oh, bless her, with Thy guardian care
And mayour Child that blessing share.
Guard both from i'll within thine arm,
If they're embraced, they're safe from harm
And may the hope-"We'll meet again."
With joy, on Earth-not prove in vain.
But oh if this Thy will denies,
And here below, our mutual eyes
Shall no more CLEAN with mutual love-
Oh grant that we may meet ADORE!
Redeem'd-in giory-at thy throne,
May rejoin my WIFE and Son.
