Dow ,Jr,. on war,

The Quaint preacher of the New York
Sunday Mercury, holds forth on the war
with Mexico as follows:
MY friends and fellow countrymen--
awake, arise! for the Philistlens are upon
you. Strike the tunjo! blow the hugag!-
Your lives, your loves, and your liberties
are in danger. Now, while your glorious
lamp Of liberty is sputtiug with the impo-
tent spit of the foe, is the time for you &c
girdle on your armor--march TO the battle
field--then vindicate the national honor
suck the sweets of revenge, and SETTLE all
difficulties, and return home SO covered
with glory that common eyes wont be able
to behold you without the assistance OF
smoked glass. You are spiraized into a
war and you must go through it like a
dose of castor oil--the quicker the better
up, then, and at them! strike, not only
for your own homes, wives and babies,
but for the halls of Montezuma! In those
halls, my friends are sple ndors unimagIned
and unmag ginable, and in the multitudes
of mines that surround them are riches
untold and untellable. Push on the war,
now you are into it. These Mexican
savsges must be whipt into civilization;
aud if were not necessarily exempt by
law, | would be one 10 assist in the pleas.

Why FARMERS SHOULD TAKE
a .MEWSPaPER.

Ftrst.-From policy, and a due regard
for their own interests. As the cultiva-
tors Of the soil. it is but right that they
should reap the benefit, when from the
numerous fluctuations in markets, the
price Of produce is above the ordinary
value.-But is this often the case? Do
those who BY the sweat Of their brow, have
sowed and reaped; and gathered in tho
golden harvest profit by the increased
price of -four and other grains! On the
contrary is it not in nine cases out of ten
the fortunate specu.ator, who by watching
the foreign markets and BY his knowledge
of affairs at home, steps in before the far
mer and cody pockets all the gains! The
latter at home by his 6reside destitute Of
tlseeimportant infcrmation, which so small
an amount as So might procure for him il
expended on newspaper, sells his wheat
at the usual price little dreaming how
much he is losing by the bargin, W lille the
wiser speculators, makes a snug little for
tune of $40 or $500 in day. Year af-
ter year has this been the case aud yet
how few farmers in our. wheat growing
countries have pro6ted by their dear
bough Inexperienced 81 as TO avail themselves
of the changes that SO frequently occur.
We reiterate the warning and advice but
are regarded as the voice Of interest; and
a newspaper is looked upon as an article
of unnecessary expense in farm house,
by those who if they regarded their own
pecuniary interest, would subscribe for it
at once even if obliged TO curlail in some
other quarter.
Secondly.-A farmer should take a
weekly newspaper for the sake of his
children. Ifhe would not have them grow
up in ignorance of what is passing at home
and abroad--if he would prepare them for
proper discharge of their duties as cit
izens, he owes to them the benft of this
weekly instructor, coming into the fami-
ly without hustle or pretence, and Per"
forming Its Office without delay. There
is a vast amount of fintellig encs condensed
in the narrow limits Of well conducted
paper. Much of this can be obtained in
no other way, and for the remainder tie
students must wade through ponderous
volumes or wastes his youth over the mid
night lamp. Whatever may be thought
of,it by our friends in the country, we
know that taking a newspaper is cheap
way of difrusing Information through a
family circle; and we know too that it
will, as general rule, put ten dollars in
to the pocket of the farmer, for every one
il draws out.--E9.

THE ENCHANTED PIPER.
BY MISS AUGUSTA BROWNE.

From; Cark 10 Connemara there was
not to be f. uEd more likely or decent
bov than Barney O'Brian. 1t was him
self that had come Of irst rate people, for
he could like most OF the Irish) trace
back his origin to one o. the ancient
kings Of the land--I believe ban Dor

number such an amount of kith and kin
as Barney! There were O'Donnels, the
O'Connels, the O'Carrols, the O'Farrels,
the O'Roonys, the O'Sloughnessys, the
Gaffneys. the McThoulthers, and an innu>
merable host of others, not one Of whom
had ever been known TO back out in fight
or take the last word in dispute. To
the title of classical scholar also, Bar
ney made some pretensons, having stud
led Latin for the space of two whole
months at the village hedge school; under
the able Jurisdiction of celebrated pro-
fessor. But, more than all this, Barney
was the handsomest boy as well as the
best dancer and shillelagl .yielder, which
latter accomplishment every body knows
to be held in high repute by his couutry
men within twenty miles. No wondet;
then, that all the colleens looked kindly
on him, nor that Miss Bddy Flanagan, the
heiress, who had for her fortune two cows,
countless fowls and houshold gear, be-
sides twenty pounds in gold, had openly
expressed her admiration of him; but all
in vain, for Barney's heart lad long been
the property of sweet Norah 0'Riley of
the next village.

The MisERiEs OF BEING CANDIDATE
FOR OFFIcE.--An.O Ohio paper relates the
following anecdote Of an inexperienced
candidate for office "We once had a fell
low student, who, after he had graddat ed !,
entered upon the practice of medicine
with very fair prospects, but in an evil
hour he consented to become candidate
for election to the State Legislature. He
was man Of good natural endowments,
and competent literary education. He
had prepared himself for his profession
by close application to study, aud had, OF
course, entered but little into society, SO
that he assbut little acquainted with the
world, and had no conception Of what he
was to endure in the electioneering can
Vass. He was elected, but after it was
all over, he said to us, eli | had known
what would have been said of me by my
opponents, | would have run away rather
than have suffered myself to be nominated.
| knew no one could say much good Of
me, bpt thought, also, that they could
not say much harm !; yet the newspapers
opened upon me-ihey made me out so
bad fellow that did mt believe il was
me at all, and could not be satisfied of
my own identity until I called my dog

THE FAREWELL.

THE FAREWELL.
I'm leaving ye, am leaving all,
My childhood and my home
The dearest and the only one
ever yet have known;
And though may come back again,
May see you all once more,
know, know it will not be
AS it ever was before
know, when am pass'd away
shall remembered be-
That night by night and day by day
Your hearts will turn to me;
And when in its accustom'd place
Yet see the unfill d chair,
Yell think Of that familiar face
Ye'ye seen 80 often there.
And years will come, those gears Of change
Each bringing tears and mirth,
And other ones untried and strange,
Sit with ye by our hearth;
And ye will sing those same old songs.
We SO have loved for years
And busy thoughts will come in throngs,
Stirring your souls to tears.
And sometimes, gathered by the fire,
Your vesper song to sing,
Yell find that on your household Tyre
There is one broken string.
But oh! would not have that thought
One shade ofsadness fling,
Nor from those eyes, with deep love fraught
One burning tear-drop wiring.
And when Spring comes, with birds and flow-
ers,
And silver fountains full,
Yen think of me, know ye will,
For have loved them III:
And though those glorious birds depart,
Though weary flowers may die,
The image mirror'd in The heart
Will there for euer lie.
And thought find another home
Sit by another hearth
Each blessed face will haunt my heart
Where'er 60 on earth:
Each breath of flower, or laughing wind,
That kisses brow or cheek
Each stream that plays, or bird that sings,
Will of the absent speak.
Thodgh tinay tread the halls of mrth,
Amid the cold Or proud,
And beings btlght and beautiful
The gorgeous pageant crowd
Some glance will come from bright eyes she'd
Some playful, thoughtless word
Some glorious burst of intellect
From passioii's fountoin pour'd-
Some gentle glance of greeting love
Or earnest, and "adieu"-
Some tone, ot smile, or beaming look,
Jewels which young hearts strewy-
Something to wake ''nameless thrilp'
Ofmingled joy and pain;
Chords, echoing chords cannot still,
For memory must reign!-ANNETfE

An attentive consideration of the present |
state Of affairs, with reference to the Oregon
question, has determined the British Gov
eminent to instruct the undersigned, her
Britannia Maiesty's Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister PlenipotentiaFy, again to re.
present in pressing terms to the Government
of the United States the expediency Of res
ferring the whole question of an equitable
division Of that territory to the arbitration
Of some friendly Sovereign or State.
Her Maiesty's Government deeply regret
the failure of all their efforts to effect q
Ifiiendly settlement of the conflicting claims
by neutrality-suspicious. between the two Gov.
Iernmenfa.
They are still persuaded that great advaR>
ltages would have resulted to both parties
from such mode Of settlement, had il been
practicable, but there arc difficulties now
lin the way of that course of proceeding
which it might be tedious to remove, while
the Importance Of an early settlement seeml
10 become at each moment more urgent.
Under these circumstances, her Majesty
, Government think that resort to arbitra
tion is the most prudent, ndpeEhaps, th'
only feasible step which could be taken ant
