Live Bravely.

The world is half dalLened with croakers
Whose burdens are weighing them down
7hey croak of their stars and III usage
And grope in the ditch for crown,
Why Tx to The wind of thy fortune,
Or clutch al distinction aud gold
Irrhou c'nSt not reach high on the ladder,
Thou can-t steady lis base by thy hold.
Forthe aower though hid in the corner,
win as iauliie,sly finish lis bloom,
W i'll Ieach FOR sparkle of sunshine,
That clouds have not chaucd to consume.
And wouldst thou be less than a flower
With thought aud b,ain, and hand
VIII wait for the dribbles of fortune
When there's something that these may md.
There is food to be from the iu,row,
Aud forests that wait 10 be hewp
Thee ismayble untouched by he ehiseI,
Day, that break not on the forehead OF June
WIN you let the plow rust in the fuirow-
Unbuided home ball :
Nor bid ihe stones wake fom their silence
And fret, as If letting were all
Go, learn Of The blossom aud ant-hiu:
There's something thy lal Or must give,
Like the beacoh that pierces the tempest
Strike the clod from thy footing, and live.
Iiye-not lIail with thy face in the dross heap,
In the track OF the biaaless and proud
Lit the eeIements away from thy manhood
fhou'rt robbiug the head of a shroud.
There words and pens to be welded,
There thoughts that must die if unsaid,
WOudst thou sumter aud pine amid roses,
Or sepulchre dreams that are dead!
No, drag thy hope 10 the pyre,
Dreams dead from the a,hcS will lse,
Look not down upon earth for lis shadow
There is sunlight for thee in the skies.

FATHER CHIMQUY A HUNBuG. The Chit
cago Press oad Tribune publishes two col
umns of facts about the condition of the Sc.
ceding French Catholics, at Kankakee, for
whom Father Chiniquy has awakened SO
much sympathy. The Tribune says that its
statement was prepared by gentleman from
that Office, "who went to St. Anne and
saw with his own eyes that of which he tells;
and our readers East and West, may de-
pend upon the exact thruth of his relation.
Upon the strength of his narrative we have
no hesitation in warning our Eastern friends
that they are abusing themselves by endeav-
oring to relieve the diStresses of these peo-
pie, which does not exist. Father Chini-
guys Kankakee parishioners are probably
better off than they ever have been in all
their lives before. They are not suffering
for any Of the necessaries, and many of them
are enjoying the luxuries of life. Their
Church buildings are in the hands of Pro-
testants and 10 no danger of being wrested
from them In the exercise of all their
rights { S citizens they are without molesta-
tion.

The WORK GOES oN.--Thirty-two agents Of
New Y ork and Boston commercial houses ar-
rived at Washington on Friday from the South,
saying that they were compelled to return and
abandon their business on account of the gen
eral Indignation against northerners. They re-
port that northerners of long residence IN the
South have been disfgured and driven from
their homes. Eleven business men on their
way south have also returned TO Washington,
having been turned back by a vigilance com
mittee at some place in Virginia. They report
the southern feeling as very intense against the
North and against the Union. The Charleston
Mercury condemns the violence exhibited at
the South, and says 1--WE are still in the Uni
on ; aud it is in our opinion unjnst and highly
iHjudicious to moke war on men because north
erners, and without plain ground of proceeding
against them"

VIRGINIA REsPEcT FOR BRowN. "A blant

Sheriff Campbell and Capt, Avis are ofcouree
ehagrined at this narrow escape, especially Us
they had resisted all interference of the military
with the interior disipline Of the Jail
The prisoners were shrewd aud cunning fell
lows and were undoubtedly without accomplices
in their undertaking
Their friends who had not yet left ChaFlestown
were fearful that they might be suspected Of hay
ing knowledge Of the attempt
The Impression is that had the prisoners wait
ed until midnight or later they might have reach
ed the mount aims but it is presumed they we're
fearful OF being watched during the night or
desired to have as much of darkness to gain a
good distance before daylight would allow Of a
general pursuit
FURTHER Particulars. Before Cook and
Coppic left the prison, they expressed their
gratitude for the kindness shown them by
the noble Cap. Avis and Sheriff Campbell
Cook wished the breast pin he wore on the
scaifold given to his wife, or his boy If he
lived, and daguerreotype and lock Of his
sons hair which be wore within his shirt

Both requested that their arms should not
be pinioned tight enough to stop the circu-

with A blue cloth Talma was thrown over
Coppic, and dark one over Cook.
During there proceedings, Coppic was
struggling to keep down his emotion, and
Cook was striving to be calm The Quaker
gentleman remarked that sit was hard 10

parting from friends, not the dread cf death
that moves us" On the way down Stairs
they were allowed to advcnce to the cell of
Stevens and Hazlitt, and bid them farewell
They shock hands cordially, and Coolssaitl
to Stevens, "My friend, good by" Stevens
said GOOD by, cheer up give my love to
my friends in the other world" Coppic
also made remark to Stevens, which was
unheafd by the crowd, but Stevens replied,
Never miRd." Both then shook hands
with Hazltt, and bade him good by bnt

from Jail, Cook recognized several gentle
man and bowed politely.
After the caps had been placed on their
heads, Coppic turned to Cook, and stretch
ed forth his hand as lar as possible. AZ
the same time Cook said, Stop minute
where is Edwn's hand!' They then shook
hands cordially, and Cook said, "God bless
you" The calm and collected manner of
both was very marked.
On approaching the scaffold, Cook shook
hands with large number of persons, and
bowed politely to Mayor Green.

Letter from Chicago.

CHICAGO, July I'd, 1859.
.sDear Col There has been so little
news Of interest to communicate in the last
few weeks, that have delayed writing you,
and even now VIC arc going OH in the even
tenor Of our way with nought to hurt us or
make us afraid. Many Of our citizens have
left for the cast, to rusticatc at the various
watering places, but as your correspondent
belongs to that large class who compose the
"can't get away club he cannot tell you
what they are doing there.
The sad accident on the Michigan South.
ern Railroad near South Bend, Ind, is at
present the theme of conversation; it has
dried up every thing else. Between 40 and
30 dead bodies have already been removed
from the wreck, and others arc still miss
ing. This calamity has brought sorrow
and bereavement into the household OF
many Of our fellow citizens, and casts a
shadow around the hearthstones of many
more. 1t is not generally believed that any
blame can be attached to the officers of the
train, as the culvert had been safely passed
only few hours before by the train going
east.
In the matter of the suit against the city
to restrain the controller from issuing any
more bonds than the 100000 allowed by
the charter, Judge j. NJ. Wilson has
granted an injunction. The plaintiff in the
suit was nominally one Philip Dean, but
really, Long john" Judge Wilson's OPT
mon sets forth clearly the points n Issue,
anu pIo,os 10y o..a " i.Sot:o.. tl.~tseS,. ;r.s
suing of thesbonds would be in violation of
the charter. The Press & Tribune receives
this decision in high dudgeon
Our city Railroads are progressing fine
ly. The State street road now runs a dis
tance of three miles and is paying largely.
The Madison street road is not yet fully
completed and that on Randolph street will
not be i'm full operation before July 18TH
This is an institution we have long needed
and were it not for the stupidity of some
muddy-headed men we should have had
them all over the city. Now that it is tested
practically, that no damage to property
arises from them, hundreds are DESTROYS to
get stock believing it to be paying invest
ment, as it will be beyond doubt.
Our New Superior Court is regular artist
mill for grinding out business, great num-
Der of causes are being disposed of daily,
and thereby the other courts are greatly re-
lieyed, and judgment fastened
We hear from all parts of Illinois that
the prospects for crops never have been bet
ter, and on the strength of this, business
seems to be getting rather more lively. We
hope the fall trade will come up to our ex-
pectations, and lift does, Chicago will again
be all right The weather is fine, and the
streets full of people from the country
around who have come in to spend Sunday
and the glorious fourth. We are to have
"divcrs and sundry doings' here on that
day, but the city is too poor to spend mo-
ney for these things and individuals foot
the bills. "Sic Transit GJoria' etc.

Fishing.

Fishing.
Everybody talks of going fishing but there
are few who have the angling stock on hand
that we can boast GEO. HARVEY, Esq, of tho
Pioneer Hardware Store of Williams &, Harvey
of this place, has bound himself to this office
by "hoohs OF steel" which in quantity and quail
ity are not excellcd anywhere. There are
almost 1000 hooks in the package and the sizes
vary from the impcrceptible to the Gigantic
good for minnows Of az day old to that catfish OF
100 lbs. which we had liked to have caught last
summer. r
Accompanying this splendid array of hooks
was 100 #. line of the right quality, and the
''bcst wishes" Of our excellent friend crowned
the pyramid of favors. George has "mors OF
the same sort'' and wholesale or retail buyers
will find his assortment superior to any now in
this market. May HARVEY live till we wear
