That Poem on the ..war."
frrom the 2aneavllle COurier.l

Our sprightly contemporary, the Wheeling
LuteAigenccr, takes up the cudgcl right valiant
Iy in favor of Tennyson's new poem on the
War; and would fain make its readers believe
it is n first class production of its kind. We
cannot agree with our neishhor; but while we
many would have it, we cannot think it entirely
worthy fits author. There are some fine pas
sages in it, and as whole it has a martial
clangor, but such lines as
"Be not gulled by a despOrs plea,'
''But only the devil knows whathe means"
are not only poor poetry, but in decidedly bad
taste, under all the circumstances. We regard
the poem as the inspiration of the author posi-
ti0n as Poet Laureate rather than of his genius,
more MS if written to order than sponta-
neous outburst Of true poetic feeling.

ACoNTRIB UroRto the N. Y. Sunday Times, who
writes IA Chapter on Nothing" says that he is
about to put out cycIopedia in rivalry of the APP
pletons, aud that he has defined the. following
" ords the following way:
BELLE.-A woman. One who paints profess
sionaly, and deals in powder without license.
Cultivates airs, and hard heart, has two strings
to her bow, and no sense in her head while she
generally flirts herself into what she never in
tended to be-a wizard old maid.
GREEN.-A name of rcproach, supposed to
have been applied to Joseph by Potiphar's wife.
Meaning not known.
MECHANIC.-A man with immense muscles,
red hair, and mouthfIl of tobacco. A com
mon man who lays bricks and such, eats cab
bage, reads the Sun, runs to fires, drinks gin
straight" and is not permitted to worship God
in Grace Church.
.ScANDAL.-The truth as related by old maids,
old women, and spiteful hussies. Don't believe
half they say, and doubt the other half.
V1RGlS1ASs.-A novel, libel on the great
est man who ever lived, written by an ungratc-
full, conceited squirt, who is a disgrace to the
country of his birth Those who publish and
those who read the work are about as bad as the
author, while the whole set deserve an introdnc
ton to an old whitewash brush, a bucket of tar,
u bag Of feathers, a fence rail- and the boots Of
all the honest Yankees in the land.
We concur in the last definition.
LABOR AND GESUIs.-ProE Setter, in his tri'
butte to Humboldt, remarked:
What an amount of thinking observing, wri-
ting, travelling, and discovering he has perform.
ed, from the Juvenile essay Of his on the textile
! fabrics of the ancients to the last line of his
Cosmos, which reminds us of Gopernicus read
ing the last proof sheet on his death bed shortly
before his departure, or oil Mozart, who directed
with dying looks the singing Of a portion of his
requiem, which he had in part composed on his
death bed! Let us, one and all, young and old,
symbolic by his name the fact that, however
untrue assnredly the saying is that genius is
labor, it is true that the necessary factor or co.
efficient Of genius and ofany talent, is incessant
diligence. We are ordained not only to eat the
bread of our mouth in the sweat of our brow,
but to earn in the same way the nourishing
bread of the mind. This is no world of triAng,
and Humboldt, like the Greeks, whose intellect
uality he loved to honor-whose Socrates loved
to say: Arduous are all noble thingS-was a
hard working man, far harder working than
most of those who arrogate the name to them
selves. He ceased to work. and TO work hard,
only when he laid himself down on that couch
from which he never rose again.

which find place in every pupils mind and heart.

three years, and then discontinued. For seven
years there has been no school paper published,

THE High School Monthly it being the first
number of the first volume The pames of Frank
A. Spencer, Arthur L. Russell, Emily A. Russell
and Eliza Whittlesey appear upon its title page,
as the Editorial Corps, and we congratulate the
school upon their being so ably represented. The
paper is filed with original articles by the pupils,
and reflect much credit upon them. The first prose
article, Precious Stones is superior one, and
well worthy plsce in publication of more pre-
tensions. Other highly merItorious articles fill the
columns, while three pieces Of original poetry en-
liven and render attractive the paper, which is
good throughout Our best wishes for the success

MAN DRowNED.-Yesterday morning the body
ofa man was found floating in the river, near Hus-
sey McBride's dock. Upon being taken out and
inquiries instituted, it was found to be one Joseph
Harrington, whose parents live in the country,
within few miles of the city. He has been sail
ing on the lakes for number of years. A year
ago last season he was employed as assistant engi.
neer on the Propeller Galena. He was on board
the Oregon, when that boat blew up several years
since; was engaged last season on a tug at Buffalo,
from which city he came a week ago He has
boarded, while in this city with James Kelly, who
has saloon and boarding house on Water street.
On Thursday evening, about O'Clock, he was in
one Freeley's saloon, playing checkers. He ap.
peared then to be sober and well. He left there,
stating that he was going up town to see friend.
About o'clock the watchman at T A. Walton's
warehouse heard splash and thought he heard a
grOanor gasp, but on going out, could discover no
cause for the noise. The man was about 80 years
Of age.
