Walk, upward glsncing;
So shall thy footsteps in glory be tracked,
Slow, but advancing.
Scorn not the smallness of daily endeavor
Let the great meaning enoble it ever;
Droop not Ger efforts expended in vain
Work, as believing that labor is gain.
What doth the future say7 Hope!

Wharf.-The celebrated Fenelon, in some re-
marks on the subject of one of the greatest
scourges of the human race, says.
eff people had never seen War kindled be-
tween neighboring nations, they could hardly
believe that men could arm themselves against
one another. They are overwhelmed with
their own miseries and mortality, and yet in
dustriously increase the wounds of Nature, and
invent new ways of destroying each other.
They have but few moments to live, and yet
cannot be contented to let those melancholy
moments slide away. in peace. There lie be-
fore them vast countries without possessors,
and nevertheless, they worry one another for
uook Of land Ravaging, splitting blood, and
destroying mankind is called the Art OF great
men, but WAR says St. Austin, care specta-
tacles in which the Devil does cruelty sport

CgMr. Folks Washington Union has a
long and violent article against the proposed
convention at Chicago. The organ says that
the public money is all required for carrying on
the war, and that none can be spared for the
improvement of rivers and harbors. Mr.. Polk
is willing to see hundreds of millions expended
for the destruction of life and property in Mex
leo, but not dollar for the saving of life and
property in the United States. He is willing
to expend countless sums for sending out arm
ed ships to prevent a single vessel from being
taken by Mexican Privateers, but not farthing
to prevent scores al.i hundreds of vessels from
being wrecked BY the innumerable distinctions
in our rivers and harbors. Any one might con-
clude from Mr.. Folks policy, that he would
make greater exertion to kill our Mexican than
to save all the lives and the whole property OF
his own countrymen.-Lou. Journal.

Saskatchewan unfortunately no opportu-

teers under your command to carve out for your
selves niche in the temple of military fame,

rallied around your country's flag at the first
sound of the tocsin, Notwithstanding the GER
tainty of having to endure great hardships and
privations with the probability of finding your
last resting places in foreign land far remov-
ed from friends and relations, and inasmuch as
you have, throughout, faithfully discharged
the duties assigned you, and manifested, not
merely willingness to engage in mortal COM
combat with your country's enemies, but that
kind of impatient eagerness to do SO which
characteristics those only who are both free and
brave; we feel that you are entitled to the same
esteem and gratitude, and the same marks of
respect, as those of our brave countrymen
whom fortune placed in the most honorable
position on the field of battle. Therefore in
behalf of the people and in the name of the
Common Council / bid you welcome home
for here you are at home-and tend to you all,

hope; in which we all unite, that you will so

COL HARNEY.-Capt. Henry of the Sd In
fantry, gallant officer who has fought in every
battle since the Mexican campaign opened ex-
cept those of Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo, in
a letter to the N. Y Spirit of the Times, gives
a description of the personal appearance and
qualities of the dashing and intrepid Harvey
which we are satisfied our readers will be graf
flied to see, familiar as most of them may be
with the gallant Colonel of dragons. He
says:
Sandy hair, very light complexion, frank,
generous expression of countenance, form per-
feet in symmetry, without one particle of super
fuous flesh, fit "to run for a mans life" in the
prime of manhood, with mild but determin-
ate blue eve. and YOU have him standing before
you Mount him on his noble charger, excite
that blue eve until it almost scintillates, and
give animation to that form until it appears to
expand and YOU have one of the most gallant,
dashing cavalry officers in any service. He is
a man of iron will, and if necessary, of despe-
rate courage. As partisan officer he is con-
spicuous. / deem him the best in the service.
Like all men Of such temperament, he is a
warm, devoted friend. and bitter enemy
Think of his towering from carrying his brig
ade TO the storming of that terrible height
What picture for an artist Harvey with
arm outstretched and sword drawn, pointing
to the height, with his gallant brigade, regard
less Of all obstacles, rushing into the enemy's
breastwork All accounts represent him as
CONSPICUOUS, and that the clear, shrill tones of
his voice, calm almost to frigidity, could be
distinctly heard all the way up the mountain
side.

The Judge and the Journal will find it hard
matter to convince the people that their interests
will be safer in his hands than Mr.. OVENS
PGoi Telegraph.
And don't we know it! Didn't Mr. Owen
most faithfully attend 10 all their interests-in
Oregon, California aud Texas? And while they
were foolishly sending delegates to great ives
tern conventions at Memphis and elsewhere to
memoralize and bother Congress about granting
money to improve Western Rivers didn't he
periodically vote against their River and Har-
Dor Bill whichappropriated $4,000 for the inn
provement Of the Ohio above the falls and $780,
900 for the Ohio below the falls, and for other
western rivers?
How could we expect to convince the peo-
pie of the 240 mile district that their interests
! would be safe in other hands!
