For the st. Charles City Tutelllgenccr
The Bard of ST, Charles CITY.


Was there ever aught so pretty
As that lonely little ditty
Bout the ladies Of our city,
Bout their sweetly blushing faces,
Intellectual gifts and graces,
Eatra superhumdn rdscs6 ?
Was there ever aught so graceful.
Noble guileless, terse and tasteful,
Patriotic, pure and truthful?--
Was there ever aught SO fitting!
Not one trace of poets clipping
Simon-pure goose-quill dipping
Honored minstrel must he be,
Gifted with rare poesy,
Innocent of tiattery
Say, where doth our Bard abide'
Meath the shade Of Eastern-side
Near where sylvan fairies glide p
Wonder if he sleeps at all,
Or dreams only 'gainst the wall,
Musing on his shadow tall
Wonder if he's long been out?
What's his guardian about -
Ha1k the city crier shout
- Lost lost our bard and minstrel,
Robcd in gems and gaudy tinsel.
Fully 'quipped with harp and timbrel y
Echo answers back the sound:
- Bard and minstrel no where found
City poets all aground "
Alas poor - Frankly was of earth,
Yet nobly measured out his breath
And strah-lMe, sung himself to-death
RUTH SIMPLE.

A Coon TINE CoMING.--The folks Oh
the border of Missouri look on the
Mormon war as "good time coming
since it will create demand for labor,
produce and animals which will be
eminently beneficial to that region.
The Independence Messenger says:
"The outfit of this army will be it
self an immense business, requiring,
no doubt, so 900 head of work animals
in the shape of horses, males and cat
tie and the Government will give a
fair price for these articles which will
among the farmers and others of Mis-
souri,. The outfit last spring to put i'll
motion $500 men required 1900 wag-
ons and teams. These same men have
to be supplied this season with an ad-
dition probably of 5000 more, which,
according to the same rule, will re-
quire near 1000 wagons ard teams to
haul them. Altogether, it is reason
able to suppose that it will cost at
least $2,OOO,OOO for the wagons and
animals alone, and the whole expense
incurred cannot be less than $S,O00,-
600 or $40, 100000. With this heavy
expenditue on our frontier, we conf
IDENTIFY predict a plentiful supply of
money among us, and, with the large
surplus of grain and provisions in the
country, which will sell at reasonable
prices, we may expect more prosper
GUS season for all classes than has
ever been witnessed in Missouri"

ImpOtent Rage.

The Washington Union is "as mad
as March hare' on account of the de.
feat of the army bill in the U. s.
Senate, by heavy Democratic vote.
1t says:
1t is not at all surprising that the
Black Republicans should pursue this
course, and that their neophytes who
have been recently initiated into their
mysteries, and who worship so de-
voutly now at the dusky shrine where
Greeley, Abby Kelly, and the Senator
from New Hampshire knecl and cry
aloud--it is natural enough that this
conglomeratc brotherhood should pig
together in the same sty But it is
worthy of " especial wonder" that the
Democrats should be found to vote per
sistently with them to defeat the
measures of the administration, and
in the attempt to force upon it meas
ure and policy which would only en-
barrass it, and which was intended
by the majority of its supporters to
cmbarrass it,
The neophytes" alluded to, who
to use the courteous and refined lam
guage of the administration organ
are to pig together in the same sty"
with the Black Republicans, are some
of the ablest Democrats in the Senate.
Undoubtedly, in voting against the
Army bill, they reflected the sentiments
of the people, who, with few excep-
tions, are opposed to any increase in
the Regular force.

4 PRODIGAL ADMINISTRATION The ey-
pense of the United States military
service last year was S26,000,000.
During the last war with great Brit
ain the aggregate annual expendi-
lures for military purposes did not ex-
cced twenty millions. The most eX-
pensivc year of the Mexican war, with
$4,000 troops in the field, only cost
100000. But now, in Il time of
peace, save the war waged by the Ad-
ministration against the freedom-lov-
ing citizens of Kansas, the expenses
of a single year, for the army alone,
amount to $26,O00,000!

LooKIN ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

LOOklN ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
Here is letter from q wife in Massachu-
setts to her husband in California. She
don't intend going through the world with
the blues:
NJ Dear Husband: As it is some time since
you leit for California, suppose you would
be glad to hear how We are getting along in
your absence. am happy to say that We
are all enjoying very good health on the
whole. Just at present, two OF the boys have
got the small po1. Amanda Jane has got
the typhus fever. Betsy is down with the
measles. Samuel got hooked by COW the
other day, and little Peter has just chopped
off three Of his fingers with the Ratchet. Ii
is a meray he didn't chop shem ell Off With
these trifing exceptions. we are all well aud
getting along nicely. You needn't bs at all
anxious about US. slmort forgot to say
that Sarah Matilda eloped last week with
tiu pedlar. Poor girl! she's been waiting
for the last ten years for q chance, and I'm
glad she's got married at last.
She needn't have taken the trouble to elope,
though, for I'm sure | was glad to have ber
go. She was great eater, and find baked
beans don't 90 off near 80 fast ss they did
The W that girl would dip into pork and
beans is caution to the rest of the family.
The cow took it into her head yesterday to
.un away. which was very fortunate, Pm
sure, for the barn caught fire last night and
was consumed. was in hopes the house
would so too, for it's very inconvenient, but
the wind was the wrong way, so it didn't re.
ceive much injury. Some boys broke into
the orchard the other day and stripped all the
fruit trees. AN very glad of it, for if they
hadn't presume the children would have
made themselves sick By eating too much
fruit. Hoping you enjoy yourself in Califor-
MIA as we'll as we do at home, remain your
affectjonate wife"

SELF-MADE MEN.

We published few days ego, an extract
from late speech of Senator Douglas, Of IL
linois, in which be mentioned, that when @
youth under age, he arrived in Winchester
Illinois, he bad not money enough to pay a
weeks board, nor friend within thousand
miles. He Was originally carpenter and the
FIRST six dollars he ever earned was in Win
chester.
The case Of Senator Douglas is but one Of
many similar examples OF successful energy
10 the United States. Great talents, combiI-
ed with strong will, practical wisdom, and o
hardy physical organization, must make their
way to the front 10 every fair field OF compe-
titl0n. Wealth can command many adysn-
tages and eijoypeuts; it can even impart
transient consequence to vu'garlty and vice;
bat it cannot purchase one OF those intellec-
tual or moral qualities which are essential to
emineuce. Ii may be questioned whether the
father who leaves his son large fortune does
not leave bin hindrance, perhaps curse;
spell upon mis- enterprise and ambition; an
cpate draught, to lull him to sleep that
will know no waking.
Daniel Webster, in bis early life, bad to
contend against the ills Of poverty, and so
had our own Henry Clay. Other instances
might be mentioned in Virgins Of the strong
es: and most mastery intellects, and OF souls
as lofty, generous, and refined as ever beat
in the bosom of king, who have made their
way from position Of indigence and obscur-
ity to the highest elevation at the bar and IN
the halls of the State and National Legislation.
