DAILY DUTIES.

Our daily paths! with thorns or flowers
We can't at will bestrew them;
What bliss would gild the passing hour
If We but rightly knew them.
The way of life is rough at best;
But briers yield with roses;
To that which leads to Joy and rest,
The hardest path discloses.
The weeds that oft We cast away,
Their simple beauty scorning,
Would form a wreath of purest ray,
And prove the best adorning.
So, in our daily paths, twere we'll
To call each gift treasure,
However slight where love can dwell
With life-renewing pleasure.

War Debate in the Senate-Republi-
cans Steal Locofoco Thunder.

The Louisville Journal gives the fol-
lowing ludicrous account of the rival bel
ligereEcy of Democratic and Republican
Senators, toward England, growing out
Of the "outrages" in the Gulf:
The discussion in the senate upon the
subject o. the alleged British oulrages in
the Gulf was infinitely amusing. The
Democratic leaders opened the debate and
did it in an exceedingly fiery style. As
suIning, as matter not 10 be doubted,
that their opponents would oppose the
adoption Of any rash or precipitate policy
towards Great Britain, and that they
themselves might consequently deliver a
few war speeches not only without danger

political contests, they thundered and
lightened in favor Of bringing Great Brit.
ain instantly to occount for her outrages
and sending armed ships to the Gulf to
sink her men of war without week 8
delay. The Republican leaders in the
Senate, Seward, Hale, Wilson, &c., saw
through the whole device of The Demo-
cratic opponents and determined to take
the wind not only out of their sails, but
out of them. They hadn't the slightest
notion Of letting themselves be out.shout.
ed or out.yelled by the Democratic shout
ers and yellers for war. So they went to
work and out Heroded Herod they out
thundered the Democratic mock Jupltels.
Whereas their opponents had protested
against weeks delay, they inveighed
Gercely against a days or an hours
Whereas their opponents had been vehe-
ment, they were terrific. The scene
strongly reminded the country of the pas.
sage in fearful modern play, where, in
the midst ola whirlwind Of bluster, one of
the characters exclaims in tremendous
accents,
"For I have heard on Afric's burning shore
A great red lion give serious roar"
whereupon his defiant antagonist, not to
be outdone, bellows forth in reply,
$50 l have seen on Afric's burning shore
A ledder lion give louder roar,
And the the last lion thought the first bore"
The Republicans carried their point
completely. No sooner did the Demo.
cra'icic Senators hear the Republican war
whoop against Great Britain than they
lowered their own voices down almost to-
whisper. Finding themselves oulcrow.

The World Grows BETTER.

1t is constantly being said and published
that "the world is degenerating." that
"men are less honest than formerly !"
etc., etc.,, but it is not SO. The world
is growing better There is more rro,
bity, charity, truth, and goodness in The
world now than ever before. But owing
to the omnipresence of newspapers, the
crimes'of society are now more talked of.
and knowledge of them more widely
diffused, than heretofore, and on this ac-
count there seems to be more crime now
than in the olden times. Suppose there
was not paper or periodical published
in America! Crime might then increase
hundred fold, and we should not hear
SO much about it as we do now. And in
past ages crime could be committed with
out exposure, or comment, or permanent
record, except in comparatively few
cases, whereas now it is speedily brought
to the broadlight of universal publicity.

Many years ago, before Albany was

close of the meeting they returned by the

that season was before daylight. All the
