Now, Governor Tenderheart was known
as the 'Psrdoning governor" from The

he had represented the noble state Of

Paddle your own Canoe.


The following has the sparkle of origi
Sniity, and contains some good advice.
Is from the pen OF Mrs Sarah T. Bolton, o
indianapolis:
Voynger upon life's sea,
: To yourself be true,
And where'er your lot may be,
Paddle your own canoe.
Never. though the winds may rave,
Falter or look back,
But upon the darkest wave,
Leave shining track.
Nobly dare the widest storm,
Stem the hardest gale,
Brave Of heart and strong Of arm,
You will never faiL
When the world is cold and dark,
Keep that aim in view,
And to-'urd the b acon-mark,
Paddle your owl canoe.
Every wave which bares you on, ...
To the silent shore, #Et
rom IT'S sunny sOuTcc HaS S'hS,
To return no more.
Then let not an hours delay
Cheat you Of your due;
Dot, while Il is called to-day,
Paddle your own canoe.
aIfyour birth denied you wealth,
Lofty. state and power,
Honest fame and hardy health
Are better dover; z..-. I
But, if these will not suffice,
Golden gain pursue,
And, to win the golden prize,
Paddle your own canoe.
Woul You wrcst the wreath of fame
From the hand Of friel
wauld you write a deathlcss name,
with The good aud great?
Would you bless our FslIow men!
Heart and soul Iaibae
With he holy task, aud then .-.....
Paddle our own canoe.
'pH'u YOU CIuNH ti't NldHt NIp"S'
In The worlds free fight!
With spirit brave and strong,
Battle for the right;
And 10 break the chains that biad
The Macy 10 the few
To enfranchise slivish mind
Paddle your own canoe.
Nothing great is lightly won,
Nothing wot is lost;
Every good deed nobly done.
VIII repay the cost.
Leave TO Heaven, in humble trust,
All you will to do;
But, If on succeed you must, ..
Paddls your own canoe.

WHEAT AND FLOUR ~ cNIFoRNIA.-The
san Francisco correspondent of the journal of
Commerce writes as follows, under date of Aug.
IL.
New wheat is now selling at p to 3 cents per
pound for perfect samples; though very large
amount ofthe crop has been injured by smut, and
it is not improbable that considerable shipments
of inferior wheat will be sent to New York this
Fall as our infant mills lack proper smut ma
chimes, and can well afford to ship off II hun
dred thousand bushels of smutty wheat. aud take
in its place twenty thousand barrels of CALICO
and Haxall flour
Domestic flour of good quality, in so pound
Sacks from new wheat, is NOW selling at the rate
of Ssa$9 Per bbl.-as to quality.
Chill -four So to 81, old but sound, while Gal
lego and Haxall are held by .felc parties, and
bakers are SO far prejudiced in their favor as to
be willing this day to pay Sllasl2 per barrel for
these choice brands of Richmond flour We
should not be atall surprised to see Richmond
flour advance to SIS per barrel this fall. while
domestic may only advance to $40 per Dbl.
