OH, BE NOT THE FIRST!

Oh, be not the first to discover
A blot on the fame of a friend
A faw in the faith of a lover,
Whose heart may prove true in the end.
We none of US know one another,
And oft into error we fall
Then let US speak well Of a brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or a sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue;
And thus our belief may be shaken,
In hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile of gladness
Is worn oy the friend that we meet
To cover soul full of sadness.
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest,
Their noblest emotions conceal;
And bosnms the purest, sincerest.
Have secrets they cannot reveal
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defects
Let ours be a nobler ambition,
For base is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall:
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all

SUrrER1sGs OF CATHOLIC PRIEST TIN 4 Srens

SUFFERISGs OF A CATHOLIC PRIEST IN 4 SreRHs
"A priest who was journeying from st. Paul,
Minnesota, to Pembina, was on the End ult.,
when within days. journey of his destination,
overtaken by fearful snow storm; and losing
his way, wandered into an extensive swamp
near Pembina. His horse being in a very
poor condition was unable to get through the
swamp, and died the first night. He made no
attempt to get further, but laid himself down
beside his horse, exposed to pelting snow
storm and piercing northern blasts, which
lasted for forty eight hours. Destitute of food
thoroughly dreRched, the cold penetrating to-
his vitals, he experienced the gloomiest de-
spair. He lay in this state five days and five
nights subsisting upon the raw flesh of his
horse, and when found by party which en-
camped near by, was almost at the point Of
death. He was dreadfully swollen with ths
wet aud cold, so that his clothes had TO be cut.
to remove them from his person.

AN INCIDENT AT Fort SUMTER.-The Balti-
more American has the following story !:
ssOne of the Baltimoreans who recently re-
turned from Fort Sumter, details an impress
sive incident that took place there on Major
Anderson taking possession. 1t is known that
the American flag brought away from Fort
Moultrie, raised at Sumter precisely at
noon on the 29th ultimo, but the incidents of
that flag raising have not been related. 1t
was scene that will be memorable reminis-
cence in the lives of those who witnessed it..
A short time before noon, Major Anderson
assembled the whole of his little force, with
the workmen employed on the fort, around
the foot df the flag staff. The national ensign
was attached to the cord, and Major Anderson,
holding the end OF the lines in his hands,
knelt reverently down. The officers and men
clustered around ,many of them on their knees,
all deeply impressed with the solemnity of
the scene. The chaplain made an earnest
prayer-such an appeal for support, encour-
agement and mercy as one would make who
felt that MANS extremity was Gods oppor-
tunity.' AS the earnest solemn words Of
the speaker ceased, and the men responded
Amen with a fervency that perhaps they had
never before experienced, Major Anderson
drew the Star Spangled Banner up to the top
al air of Hail Columbia loud and exultant
cheers, repeated again and again, were given
by the officers, soldiers and workmen. sIf,'
said the narrator, South Carolina had at that
moment, attacked the fort there would have
been no hesitation upon the part of any man
within it about defending that flag.

Congress has appropriated one hundred and
thirty-five thousand dollars for the purchase of
a Government Printing Office, at which it is
contemplated its work can be done cheaper
than by private individuals. This, we consid-
er among the fallacies of the age. 1t opens a
door for the most stupendous frauds. The
policy of the Government doing its own work,
is one of which no sensible man can approve.
Every practical printer in the land will laugh
at the proposition.
