TRUE WEALTH.
Say not that money is true wealth,
Ills neither happiness nor health;
Ills useful; ay, and ncedful too,
Nor can we well without it do.
But there's q value to be found
Above, below, beneath, around,
Which money merely ne'er can give
Nor when we die nor whilst we live.
There is a talent all may share,
A gem the poorest cen may wear:
A treasure you may now possess,
A mine, though well workid never less.
The talen, double interest bears,
That gem, the highest value shares,
That treasure money ne'er can buy,
That mine no failure can destroy.
Tell me what is this wondrons power,
More priceless than q monarch's dover?
w ICICC CuillCS iIls XVII 81 HuiC GiiO ivy
This paragon of alchemy!
VIVA. dost thou say this gem, so fine,
Doth moneys glittering worth ou'sIline?
And am l calmly to be told
That aught can rival sterling gold
IT'S so, nay scott not; listen +! hear!
I'll tell the; see the truth appear:
True wealth in honest labor lies,
Laughs at the world and gold defes!
A trusty arm and conscience pure
Fen to the poorest will ensure
The noblcst title ever known,
The poor mans crown, by right his own.
The LIFE or MAS.-Henry King wrot,
the following upon the life of man:
Like to the falling of u star,
Or as the flights of eagles are;
Or like the fresh Springs gaudy hue,
Or silver drops of morning deT;
Or like the winds that chafes the food,
Or bubbles which on water stood;
Zen such is man, whose borrowed light
Is straight called in and paid tonight.
The wind blows out; the bubble dies;
The Spring entombed in Autumn lies;
The dew dries up; the star is shot;
The flight is past; and forgot.

My conscience IS my crown; 49,
Contented thoughts my rest;
My heart is happy in itself;
Mybliss is on my breast.

Welldoing is my wealth;
My mind to me an empires,
While grace aifordeth health.

LOCAL. MATTERS
Soldiers + eturned.


There was quite a stir In Ottawa on
Thursday on the arrival of the larger por-
ton of the three Ottawa companies of
months volunteers from Cairo. They were
met at the depot by the Zouaves and fire
companies, and escorted down town to the
court house yard, whore they were ad-
dressed in handsome reception speech by
the Hon. WV. REDDIcK. Mr. r. extended
to them cordial welcome home He said
he had learned of some of the soldiers that
they had been told they would be coldly
received if they returned at the end of 8
months, but he assured them such was not
the feeling entertained towards them by
the people of Ottawa They had gone, at
their country's call, for months and no
more, many of them at great sacrifice.
They had done their duty like true SOL
disrs, and at the end of tho stipulated time
returned. If they chose to enlist again or
not, that was their own business; but whe-
ther they did or not, they deserved thanks
for what they had done and a cordial well
come home and in the name of the people
of Ottawa it was his pleasing duty to ex-
tend to them both
The boys gave three hearty cheers and
a tiger-r-rr, and dispersed.

The following extracts are presented for what
they aro worth. While Syrcns whisper peace,
the wur-aogsar are still at large To prevent this
rumore,l peace, great battle may occur in very
short time. The hest prospect Of peace to the
South is TO be found in continued anu redoubled
preparation for the worst.
PEACE Pnospgcrs.-An Iowa Captain, cap-
tured in the late battle at Belmont, states that the
Federal troops engaged were all picked men, and
sprung originally from kentucky and Tennessee
families and were supposed, therefore, to be able
to cope with the TcnnessccanS. lie snys the reason
of the activity of the Lincunites at the present
timc is this: Congress meets the fret of next
month, and unless they make some show Of con-
qucring the South the pence party at the North
will ovcrwhelm everything, and force Congress to
make peace. lie says the peace party, at the
North is growing fast.-Memph;s Avalanche.
