Oh, Willie, is It you, dear, safe, safe at home
They did not tell me true, dear. the " said you
would not come
But / heard You at the gats, and |, made my heart
rejoice,
For knew your welcome footsteps and your dear
familiar voice,
Making music on mine ear through the lonely
midnight gloom
Oh, Willie, Is II you, dear 7-welcome, welcome
homo ~.
We've lOngOd TO SEQ you nightly, but this night
Of all
The fires were blazing brightly, the lights were in
the hall
The little ones were up until ten o'clock and past
When their eyes began to twinkle, and they've
gone to sleep at last;
They listened for your voice till they thought you
would not come
Oh /! Willie, is 1t you, dear l-wslcome, welcome
home!
The days were sad without you, the nights were
long and drear;
My dreams have been about you--wecome, Will
lie, dear
Last night sat and watched by the midnigh,'s
cherelessray,
thought / heard your footstep, then wiped my
tears away
But my heart grew sad again, when found you
had not come
Oh Willie, is it you, dear Y--welcome, welcome
home

THE GREAT RoGUEs CATCHING 1T.

We see that Henry Dwight of New
York, who has been figuring largely as a
railroad inancier, and also another dis
tinguished financier, have been arrested on
criminal charges based on their financial
operations. 1t is high time. This Mr..
Dwight is, if we mistake not, the same
man who some three years ago, when in
one OF the Illinois railroads, got hold of
Massillon bank and paid out to the farmers
&C., of Illinois, very large amount, some
$4,000, of its notes, just before tho bank
broke. There were good many charges
and insinuations against him at that time.
If we recollect he failed, and left good
many creditors in the lurch; at the time
too, he stepped out of the direction of the
road, but was, Notwithstanding all that
had passed, reinstated. And such has
been too much the course Of things. The
most questionable acts could be committed,
and yet their author has been sustained
in them, and has held himself up, and by
sympathizing and supporting friends. has
been held up as high as ever. 1t really
seemed as if things were coming to this
pass that no matter how grieyously,
grossly and unblushingly man robbed his
creditors or plundered the trusts confded
to him, he could not lose caste, but was
held by all his fellow responsibilities in as
high esteem as ever. OF course, such be-
ing the prevailing sentiment in the "best
circles" the distinction between honor and
dishonor-between vice and virtue-was
annihilated. II was getting to be as honor
able to accumulate money by fraud and
theft as to do it by honest means. And
as stealing is easier lin one sense) than
hard work of body or mind, and no less
honorable, of course men would prefer to
get money by the shorter and easier cut Of
stealing it than by the longer and more
difficult way of making it by honest enter
prise and hard labor. Such is human
nature. A man will never think hard and
toll hard to get money, when it is just as
safe and honorable for him to get it by
stealing it.
1t is in place here to repeat, what we
have so often said, that severe punishment
in some form must be visited on the great
swindlers of the last ten years, if we do
not wish our people to sink down into a
bog of financial corruption. 1t is only
by making examples of these great rascais,
that our people can fully demonstrate that
they themselves are not in the main either
great or little rascals. We trust that the
prosecution of Dwight will be followed up
by the prosecution of many others Of the
multitude who are in the same category
with him. The managers of such concerns
as the Ohio Life and Trust, the Michigan
Southern, the Lacrosse and Milwaukee,
&c, &C., &C., should be hauled over the
GOALS; and such of them as are guilty
should be thoroughly griddsed.---i&. Loui.

LIST OF BRITIsH Outrages. fol-
lowing is list of the outragcs said to have
been committed by the British cruisers
upon American merchanment since the
commencement of the present excitement.
The list is long, and the offences are of a
most serious nature-suficiently so to JUS
tify the action of our Government:
Bark Clara Windsor, fred into and
boarded, Feb. 10.
Ship Tropic Bird, fred into and board
ed; arrived at Baltimore.
Bark Glenburn. overhauled at sea.
Brig Robert Wing. fred into and board
ed.
Schooner Mobile, fred into near Kew
West on the 29th ult., boarded and search
ed.
Schooner Cortez, seized and detained at
Inagua. This vessel cleared from Hava-
ma, clean, from the coast Of Africa.
Schooner N. b. Borden, fred into and
boarded. Arrived at Savannah.
Brig Brothers, overhauled and boarded
at sea.
The following vessels were boarded
May 2. in the port of Sagua la Grande;
Bark w, FL. Chandler.
Brig Martha Gilchrist.
Brig E. G. O'Brien.
They have all arrived at New York, and
their depositions have been sent to Wash
ington. AT the same time and place, the
following vessels were also overhauled;
Brig John Howe, Capt. Nichols.
Brig John Taylor, Capt. Young.
Brig S. Thurston, Capt. Lambert.
Ship Clarendon, Capt. Bartlett.
Bark V. T. Martin, Capt. Chas. A.
French. ~ -
Bark james Cook, Capt. W. Blanchard
There were also fore and aft schoon-
er seized by British cruiser off Stone Key
and sent to Jamaica for adjudication,
This may possibly be the ease of the Cor
tez. rs fs
A boston brig, which arrived at Carde-
mas on the I'd of May, was boarded by the
Styx. She was reported by Capt. Mat
thews, Of the brig Eolus, of Bristol.
The only British cruisers mentioned so
far in connection with these outragcs are
the styx, the BuzIard, and the Jasper, all

GREAT FRAUDS IN WIscoNsIN.-On the
18th inst, the Report of the Joint Commit
tee appointed by the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture to investigate the charges of fraud and
corruption in the passage of the Land
Grant Bills of 1856, was submitted to the
Legislature. 1t created sensation, for it
amounts to a virtual Indictment of the
whole Legislature of 1856 for bribery.
Twelve members of the Senate received for
their votes S175,O00 in stock of the La
Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad, in sums
of from ten thousand to twenty thousand
dollars each.
About fifty members Of the Lower
House received $4,000 each in bonds or
stock of the same road. The Lieutenant
Governor of the State, the Comptroller,
and the Private Secretary of the Governor
received for their services $4,000, in
bonds, each, and the clerk and Assistant
Clerk of the House of Representative were
paid, the former $4,000, and the latter $40,
900. Gov. Bashford received $4,000 in
bonds. There were but thirteen members
of the Legislature who voted against the
grants to this railroad company, and they
received nothing. -Four Senators and
four Members of the Assembly voted for
the grant and received no bonds.
The exposure is stunning one, and
shows that the Wisconsin Legislature and
Government of 1856 was one of the most
unallOyed aggregations of corruption and
rascality that ever disgraced State.

WITHHOLDING CORN.

Between eighty and ninety years ago,
there lived in the Connecticut River VAL
ley, two farmers, one of whom was named
Hunt and the other Clark. The former,
in early life, had been man of strong
will, and somewhat hasty and violent in
temper. Sometimes he had been seen beat
ing his oxen over their heads with the
handle of his whip in way to excite the
pity of the bystanders, and when expostu-
lated with, he excused himself by saying
that he had the most fractions team in the
town. By and by an alteration took place
in the temper of Farmer Hunt He be-
came mild, forbearing, and, what was re-
markable, his oxen seemed to improve in
disposition at equal pace with himself
Farmer Hunt joined the church, and was
an exemplary man. His neighbor saw the
change, both in himself and his team. 1t
was marvel to the whole town. One of
his townsmen asked him for an explana-
ton. Farmer Hunt said: "I have found
out secret about my cattle. Formerly
they were unmanageable. The more l
whipped and clubbed them, the worse they
acted. But now when they are contrary,
l go behind my load, sit down, and sing
Old Hundred, and, strange as it may ap-
pear, no sooner have ended than the oxen
go along as quietly as man could wish.
l don't know how it is, but they really
seem to like singing"
In the course of few years, the two
farmers were chosen deacons of the church,
and they both adorned their profession.
About the time of their election grievous
famine prevailed in the valley, and farmers
generally were laying up their corn to
plant the ensuing season. A poor man
living in the town went to Deacon Hunt
and said IL have come to buy bushel
of corn. Here is the money. 1t is about
all can gather" The deacon told him
he could not spare bushel, for love or
money. He was keeping double the usual
quantity for seed corn the next year, and
had to stint his own family. The man
urged his suit, but in vain. At last he
said: "Deacon, if you do not let me have
the corn, shall curse you" Course me !"
replied the deacon, chow dare you do so ?"
"Because," said the man, 'the Bible says
So" Nonsense, exclaimed Deacon Hunt;
"there is no such thing in the Bible
eyes there is, replied the poor man.
"Well," said the deacon, "if you can find
any such text, I'll give you bushel of
corn" They went into the house, when
the man went to the old family Bible,
turned to Prov: xi, 26, and read "He that
withholdeth corn, the people shall curse
him; but blessings shall be upon the head
of him that selleth it."
The deacon was fairly caught. "Come
along" said he, sand will be as good as
my word" He took him to the corn
house, measured out full bushel of corn,
helped the man put it into his bag, assist
ed him in singing it upon his shoulder,
and just before his departure, being some
what of wag, he said, with twinkle of
the eye, 81 say neighbor, after you have
carried this corn home, go up to Deacon
Clark, and curse him out of another
bushel."

be made to understand what dreary thing
it is when man shall feel himself going

no power to stop it, and yet feel it all the
way eminating from himself, to see all god
illness emptied out of him, and not yet
able to forget time when it was other
wise to bear about the piteous spectacle of
his own ruin; could he see my feverish
eye, feverish with the last nights drinking
and feverishly looking for last nights rep
