A WORD TO THE WISE.
BY JOHN NEAL.

BY JOHN NEAL.
:"You may depend upon me, happen what
may" say the man you have been expostu-
lating with; q" WILL NEVER SEE A FRIEND IN
DISTRESS"
And you 90 home strengthened and en-
couraged. But the pinch comes. You arc
in trouble, bereaved, sick or irightfuly poor
considering your habits and your wants, your
luxures and necessities. But your friend
never comes near you. And why? Did he
not tell you, 8" will never see friend in
distress"
"A friend in need is friend indeed."-
That is when you need but blessing to set
you off, at full speed, along tho highway OF
certain prosperity. The friend who will but
breathe upon you just at the nick OF nme'
and fill your heart with new strength which
costs him nothing, while TO YOU it is the
breath of life, he is worth thousand such
friends as you will be sure to find after the
sun is up, and your great work under way
with a roar: yea, ten thousand OF those friends
who, if you happen TO fail, as most men do
many times Gf they are ever to be good fol
any thing in this worldly before their ''mls,
slon'' is fulfilled, are sure to wonder why
the poor fellow never let them know what he
needed so much, and are angry with them
selves that it should never have entered lheil
heads to ask if he had got the seed-corn &c
begin with, when he took the new farm
How sorry they are, to be sure and wha
would they not have done for him, had they
only known his real situation-beiore it wa'
too late! .
A plague upon such friendship, say!-
who cares for lift, after he is able to rul
without help? who thanks you for a dolla
when the world goes well with him, an'
dollars are as the grains Of dust that the peo
pie see when they lie half asleep on volup
tuous ottoman, trying to guess what they ar
good for-as they 60 streaming through TN
closed window-shutter. How worthless t.
them! how priceless 10 him who sits cuddle
up in the darkness of a prson-housc, won
dering if ever mortal man had half as muc
sunshine as he wanted, and ready to tea
his own eyes out for having so sighted ant
wasted it when he was abroad in the open all
and free and happy.
Now, look you, sir!-Men are put her
to love one another, and to hell one another
Many are short-sigh:ed and selfish. Ofthem
you are to expect nothing-bocause you ar
in want. But much larger class are tn
thoughtless, equally selfish in their own way
but Withholding their help, not from sting
ness or distrust, but simply because the
never happened to think it possible that otl

The EAST SHOULD BECOME BETTER AC-
QUAINTED WITH THE WEsT.--Tho West
should be better known to US; not SO much
by books as by actual observation. No gen
tleman'S eduCaton should be considered
complete, which embraces not thorough
personal knowledge Of the western country.
A tour across the mountains, and along the
whole length of The Mississippi, if not TO the
head waters of the Missouri, should ever,
with US, precede the tour Of Europe. Let
it be held disgraceful for an American citizen
10 know the old world better than the new,
or in becoming acquainted with the latter
TO leave out of view lis newest and most
Characteristic regions. Many an American
travelling in England, has blushed TO own
that he never saw Niagara; and bis European
friends, who value information and observa-
ton more than we, have thought he had
good reason for doing SO. Let US not wait
TO be shamed into mere extensive researches
within our own bound. The press should
become less sectional, and occupy itsel!
more with physical, statistical and moral
features of the whole county. If we are
told that this is impossible, we are cons'rain-
ed to conclude thai our country is too large

directly, by the press. At present, the East
is better know to the West than The West tc
the East: the press should do its best to es
tablish an equilibrium in this respect, if no

reasonable means Of convincing this young
and ardent region Of tho sincerity Of eur re-
gard, and the strength OF our good will, can

The COURT or IseuIar.--The court Of inquiry at
Fortress Monroe, in the case Of General Games,
merely met and adjourned on Saturday. General
Gaines ID closely engaged in preparing written
before the court to-day or tomorrow. One Of the
grounds Of justification is that the Secretary Of War,
in letter 70 General Gaines under date Of Noyem.
Der last, speaking for the President, used language
which would authorize the general commanding the
western division, in Of Imminent peril ;" to
make acquisitions for volunteers. And should that
point be conclusive Of the case that the call for
volunteers was mere error Of judgment, and not an
offence against the laws, subjecting the offender
court martial, and that, too, upon the former pre-
Beacon.
