OLD AND PooR.--A writer in the BoS,
ton Courier (Gcorge 5. lIillard) thus
touchingly expresses a great truth
1T was formerly our fortune, not an
enviable one, to administer the insolvcnt
law. An old man who came under our
jurisdiction, once said to us, 1t is hard
to be old and poor 1t was simple re-
mark but the tone and look gave it pa
thOs and significance. and how sadly,
painfully true it is ! The young man can
confront fortune the stone which she
filings at him he can pick up and set as a
d jewel in his crest, but the old man falls
under the blow. Rejoice, then, man OF
genius in thy genius! ., pure in heart,
sfejoice in thy youth, for Time and thou
art good against any two"

has been Commantier of the Department,
Western Virginia has been the steP-child
of the Administration, and its army has
been treated as such. Tue campaign has
