War with the United States.

The Liverpool Northern Times of June
23d, has the following sensible remarks on
the subject of war with the United States
Those who talk of war with the United
States seem to forget altogether the magn-
tude of the conflict in which they would in
volve us. We have all witnessed the gigan-
tic means we required to enable us to invade
the Crimea, one of the most isolated portions
of the Russian territory, and what would a
similar force amount to on the North Amer
lean Continent What would an army of
$50, 600 men be in a struggle against the
States, with their railways, nayigabe rivers,
steamboats,, and all their appliances for the
rapid concentration of numbers In Amer
lea we have people full of energy and re-
sources, equal to ourselves in yalor, and in
domtable perseverance.
As maratime Power, the States are as
much to be dreaded as France or Russia
They have already Seventy-iiye men of war
eleven ships of the line thirteen frigates and
nineteen sloops, carrying 2092 guns. Their
land forces are, however, far more formida-
ble than those of any country in Europe
Their regular, or federal army, does not a.
lhounC prODaDly 10 more t1an zO,OOU men,
but they have, exclusively of the States of
New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Kansas
Nebraska and Iowa, no less than 2,407, S26
trained men ON their militia roll This de-
lensiye force is ready for the field at any
moment, and with the vast means of tran
sit, both by sea and land, they have at their
disposal, they have little to fear from the
combined strength of Europe. New York
has 295 553 rifles for its defence, MaSsachu-
setts LAP, 800, and the incipient California
20S, 645. There is no room for doubling the
efficiency and general character of these large
bodies of men, and we should look well to
what we are about before we suffer ourselves
to be involved in a struggle with such Pow
er. 1t is rather II serious matter TO think
of engaging in a contest with apcope who
cannot have less than 5000 600 of bayo-
nets to call to their aid Sending punv ar
mamcntS against such nation, would be
exposing them to slaughter and defeat and
can it be possible that Parliament would en-
courage any Ministry in course which
would leave us open to the chance of being
called upon to make the sacrifices required
to carry on war on the largest scale ever
known 7"

Hoors.--" Solitary and alone" among
the press, stands the Providence Journal in
defence OF hoops:
We think the hoops which the ladies,
in the exercise of their undoubted sovereign
ty, have added to their dresses, have been
the subject of unnecessary complaint As
the matter has been explained to us, we un-
derstand that the hoops take tho place Of
from five to fifteen skirts or pettcoats, the
weight and encumbrrnce of which are alike
unhealthy and uncomfortable The hoop is
light and graceful, and although there is no
need of making it big enough to go round
country lawyers Office, as the amusing cor
of the Pawtucket Chronicle would
say, still pretty formidable dimensions may
be endured and, since the ladies are sure
to have their own way, VIC may say, must
he endured

A GENTLEMAN was once dining with .
friend, when most dreadful storm arose.
In hopes of abatement the entertainment
was prolonged to the latest possible hour
but at length it was over, and the storm
showed no signs of ceasing, but on the con
trary, grew worse and worse The host in
sisted upon his guests acceptance of lodg
ing for the night in view of the impossbili-
ty of reaching his home. The guest com
piled, but in few moments was missed from
the parlor. In half an hour he rcappeared,
drenched with rain. Where, in heavens
name, have you been ?' asked the host,
viewing the singular object, which looked
like dog about the paws, and weeping
willow about the head 81 W said he, qui-
etly shaking off the water, IL have been

bad night, | should not return"

MINE Cor Nor BEoPLE l"-Mr. Du-
bos, the new Dutch Ambassador, came over
in the steamer with Mr. Buchanan, and was
eating his first breakfast at Washington at
Wizards Hotel at the time the California
Congressman had shot Keating the head
waiter. His Dutch Excellency had heard
that the Yanhees" were very strange
peoples" and during the murderous affray
he looked quietly on without leaving his seat 4.
After the scene, and when the floor of tho
room was covered with broken plates, de-
molished chairs, human blood, the dead and
the wounded, the newly arrived ambassador
deliberately arose, reviewed the surround
ings, and slowly walked out of the room audi
bly, repeating Mime Cot rot beoples, II
they viii kill man before breakfast, yot
won't they do before dinner 7"

SHocKING.--Mrs. Partington reading an
account of railroad accident was much
surprised to learn that the locomotive had
been driven of the track by one of the
switches. "She, shouldn't have thought,
SAD she, that the great iron engine would
mind such little thing as a switch"
Yes, bat you must remember mamma" "
said Ike, graveIK the locomotive has a
tender behiad."
"Oh, that indeed, j" replied the old lady,
resuming her paper, "weB, you need not
talk about it, my son.

READER did, you know that every column
of newspaper contained from ten to twenty
thousand distinct pieces of metal, the mis-
placing of any one of which would cause a
bunder, or typographical error? With this
curious fact before you, do you not wonder
at the general accuracy of newspapers ?
Knowing this to be the fact, you will be
more disposed to excuse than magnify errors
Of the press.

SPEAK KINDLY TO THY Young
man speak kindly to your mother, and cour-
teously, tenderly, of her But a little time
and you shall see her no more forever. Her
eye is dim and her form is bent, and her
shadow falls toward the grave. Others
may love you fondly but never again while
time is yours, shall any ones love be to you
as that of your old, trembling, weakened
mother has been.
Through helpless infancy her throbing
breast was your safe protection and support /;
in wayward, testy, boyhood, she bore patient
ly with thoughtless rudcness she nursed
you safely through legion Of ills and mala-
dies.
Her hand bathed your burning brow, OF
mostened your parched lips her eye lighted
up the darkness of nightly vgilS, watching
sleepless by your side as none but her could
watch. Oh, speak not her name lightly, for
you cannot live SO many years as would suf-
flee to thank her fully. Through reckless
and impatient youth, she is your counsellor
and soIace. Through manhood she guides
your steps to improvement nor even then
lorsake or forget.
Speak gently then, and reverentIy, oI
your mother ; and when you, too shall be
DID, it shall in some degree, tighten the re
morse which shall be yours for other sins, tC
know that never wantonly have you out
ragged the respect due to your aged mother
The above inculcates one of the highest
and holiest duties of nature. Indeed, il
wonld seem to lie at the foundation of al
virtue and happiness.

THE annexed little song, by the German IN
land, is as delicate with love sentiment as well
could be- The most modest and gentle daughter
of Eve could not tell her love more naively
| always go in the evening hour
To walk along the mead;
And she comes out of her garden bower
1t stands in the way, indeed.
We have arranged plan
Twas quite in the way of the world it ran
But how it happens that we kiss,
really do not know
| ask her not-she says not " es,|
Nor says she ever No =
But when our lips together meet,
We hinder not-'tis very sweet.
The breezes do the rosebud woo,
And ask not " Low st me, say ?'
The rosebud cools itself with dew,
And says not '' Give me, pray =
So | love her, and she loves me,
Yet say we neither, " love thee y
It is hardly possible, however, that the peculiar
characteristics of this touching little song Woui'
be fully appreciated by the very handsome yoGhi
bride. who on being asked by one OF aer brides
maids when observed in deep reflection on ne
wedding day, what was the subject OF her med
tations, replied, Z" was thinking which one G
my old beaus should marry in case should O'
come widow"

He Died at his Post doing Duty.
BY CANTON

BY CANTON.
The patriot sleeps in the land of his choice,
In the robe of martyr all CORY,
And hceds not the tones of the world waking voice
That cover his ashes with glory
What recks he of riches, what cares he for fame
Or world decked in grandeur and beauty?
If the marble shall speak that records his proud
name,
" He fell at his post doing dutyp
The pilot that stood at the helm of our bark
Unmovcd by the tempests commOtion,
Was swept from her deck, in the storm, and the
dark,
And sank in the depths of the ocean.
But little he'll grieve for the life it has cost,
If our banner shall still float in beauty
And emblaze on its folds, of the pilot we lost
" He died at his post doing dutyP
The warrior chicftain has sunk to his rest
The sod of Lone Mountain his pillow,
For his bed California has opened her breast,
His dirge, the Pacific S sad billow
| As long as the ocean wave weeps on our shore,
And our valleys bloom out in their beauty,
SO long will our country her hero deplore,
Who fell at his post doing duty

Night.

l hear below on the pavement
The falling of passing feet,
And a ray from strangers lantern
Comes up from the lonely street,
And moves like ghost thro' my chamber,
SO silently and so fleet.
1t is gone, and am sitting
Alone in my darkened room;
And gleam fits through my spirit.
Then leaves it in grief and gloom;
For think of my boyhood's darling,
And then of her marble tomb.
