gathered up children and bade adieu to old ireland,
and to America that my might grow up under
the stars and stripes and that might be buried beneath

A BEAUTIFUL. FIGuRE-How beautiful is the
following, and how happy must be the heart that
can see these beauties and understand them
"Why is it that the rainbow and the clouds
come over us with beauty that is not Of earth
and then pass away and leave MS to muse on their
faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars which
hold their nightly festival around the midnight
throne are placed above the reach Of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us with their unap-
proachabe glory? And why is it that the light
forms Of human beauty are presented to our
view, and then taken from US, yet leaving the
thousand streams of affection to flow in Alpine
torrents upon the heart? We are born for n
higher destiny than that Of earth There is a
realm where the rainbow never fades where the
stars will be set before us like islands slumbering
on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings that
pass before us like meteors will stay in our pres
cnce forever

The charge the Union makes for. Mr..
franklin, that his house was set fire to by
irrepressibles, meaning Union men of this
County, is too absurd to require any notice:
Mr.. FrankEn's house as we are Informed by
friend of his who was present, took fire
about IL O'clock. in the forenoon, Oh the roof
by the side Of the chimney. Two cf his
friends had been in the house some two
hours before the fire wac discovered, and
another had left the house y short time be-
fore with Franklin, to visit coal bank A
fire in the chips in the vicinity of the house,
was also noticed by oui informant Now we
can't see clearly how any irrepressble could
could have fired that house, at least without
attracting the notice of Franklin's friends,
neither Of whom are irrepressibles in any
sense of the term. Bitter seek sympathy
for Franklin in some more reasonable way.

IMPROVEMENT IN WESTERN BUSINESS. One
of the strongest indications that the North
west is getting fairly over the hard times
which have so long prevailed, is the fact that
the Messrs. Fairbanks have sold here during
nine or ten months past, nearly three times
as many large railroad. grain and stock Scales
as ever before in the same period Of time.
This shows very gratifying improvement in
all branches of business, especially those in
which much weighing is required to be done.
tits conclusive evidence, also, that Fairbanks
Scales. which have been steadily growing in
public favor for over thirty years, are now,
after so long and thorough trial, more highly
esteemed than ever before, all through the
West s..

Armed Neutrality.

There arc symptoms in most of the Border
Slave States. Of disposition to maintain a
neutral attitude IN the present contest be.
tween the Federal Government and the trait
ors who are making war upon it. The Mis-
souri, Republican,, the Louisville Journal,
and other influential presses have taken this
position; and John Bell, Of Tennessee, is
reported to have made speech recently in
favor of the same policy. Action more IN
consistent and cowar'lly, can scarcely be
conceived. 1t is, ind,ed, entirely untenable,
and they will find it 50, as Maryland has
done. 1t is also ungratcful to a government
which has always furnished those States, as
the rest. with protection. 1t is nearly the
last dodge of the secs ,ioni.ts in those States
who, dispairng Of being able to take them
out of the Union, have adopted thi,
expedient to indirectly help their friends ir
the South to save their precious selves FROM
the consequences and responsibilities of thu
war. Most ofthem, however,wil! furnish Their
quota of troops, by voluntary enlistment o
Union men in their borders.
