To wield the sword and wear the glaivc
Or rise to conqueror's fame nt length,
Proclaims the good or makes the brave.
To have tho power TO bide the scorn,
And rise above tile hate and strife

What arc the swords that prop n king
The banners i'll his aImy's van
To strength of soul, that dafes TO spring
And show the monnfch in the man?
Kings and the mighticst men of arms,
Strong as the heads of realms they bide
Sport as they may with fortunes charms,
They are like leaves upon the tide.
In dim of old sepulchrcs they lie,
The feast OF silence and decay.

And thrones itself upon today.
Give me the man whose hands have tossed
The corn seed 20 the mellow soil,
Whose feet the forest depths have crossed,
Whose brow is nobly crowd with toll

Champion Vaughan, Esq, formerly Of

to create tho gold fever which is raging so
extensively through the West. But the
public sill do we'll 20 wait for some bcttcr
authority than this General Laramer as to
the existance Of gold there. however strongly
he may b. endorsed by Mr.. Vaughan. Lar
amar was formerly a harker in Pittsburgh.
and the bank with which he was connect ed
failed three or four years ago, when it was
found to have been one Of The most rotten
and thoroughly corrupt concerns that over
existed in PENNSYLVANIA, or anywhere else.
1t turned oGt that this Pixies Peak hero had
defrauded everybody who had any connec-
ton with him, or whom he could persuade,
uRder whatever pretext, to trust him. He
had borrowed money Of widows and orphans,
mechanics and farmers, and every other class
that had it to lend, a short time previous to
his failure, all Of which he deliberately de-
fraudel them out Of His depositors, Of
course. Jared no better Everybody, in short,
was taken in by him, and after he had car
ried on his fraudulent operations to the ex-
tent Of his ability, he permitted his bank to
burst, and started for Kansas where he
tiouriShed while before going to the gold
regions. 1t would not be safe Tor him to re.
turn to PittS6Urr nor will IL ho nm saier
now for people to credit his statements, than
