- 1t seems to me very, melancholy
thing for a man to carry a mental ulcer
with him through life-to feel its prick
and pang in every cffort-to be conscious Of
its presence every hour to be engaged in
covering it from sight, or in the attempt to
deceive the world with regard to it. Life
Is altogether too good thing to be spoiled
by little sore, or a large one, when there
exists an obvious mode of curc. 1t is our
immense and intense self-consciousness
that stands in our way always in this mat
ter. The truth is that the world does not
think half so much about us as We imagine
1t does. A man may walk through the
city Of New York with face ''as homely
as hedge-fence," thinking about it all the
time, and wondering what people think Of
1t, and not man Of all the throng will
even see it. 1t is so in the world at large.
Our personal affairs generally, possess v,ry
little interest for others. They have enough
to do in taking care of themselves, and
have weaknesses and failures and peculiar
tiles enough Of their own and if the world
should spurn oar well-meant efforts in its
behalf, why, let it go. 1t ,nends nothing
to get sore and sensitive over it. When q
man truly learns Of how little Importance
he is in the world, he is generally beyond
the danger Of becoming CALLED by its har-
ness, whatever it may be.-TinsotAy Tit

A Military Hero.

- 0ACAVs
A late number Of Vanity Fair contains
the first chapter Of 1.-The Wrath of tn,
Rebel RIVAL a romance Of the war, by
McArone. We copy the iollow ing unique
account Of the hero OF the novel;
On a fine morning in the lovely month
of December, as the sun rose above the
misty tops OF the mountains that line the
Potomac, a young officer might have been
seen emerging from the tent in the camp oil
the Eleventh Pontsons. T .I..... s-
But it was no common tent. ,,,.-...- .

make the smoke shoot straight. ".,.s
Nor was this young officer common

i Scarcely forty three, he had already won
the proudest laurels Of the CORY field, and

Xalor. In cold weather he was always to
be found where the fire was the hottest.
lie was arrayed in 4 fine blue uniform,
brass mounted, and wore yellow gloves, a
red coat, scarlet trowsers, green cap, and
a chaw Of tobacco in either cheek. His
loins were girded up for battle; fire sat
upon his lip; death upon his sword; his
neck was clothed with thunder, and his
breath slnelt of onions. -, sTa .1 .s
HIS father had been an Indian, and his
mother Dutchman, but as both had
petitioned the Legislature to allow them to
become natives Of the NJ. E. Church. he
claimed to be q Portuguese of the sang osur,
and his name was Senior Don Rantanquero

eight pounds Troy weight; he weighed
more in Albany; and had good common
school education ..r sH,r--a 3 s.7.

war horse was as fleet as the wind; he had
suffered good deal from rheumatism, and
knew Dr. Watts Juvenile poems by heart.

GooD THlNG.-In Harper's Magasins for
February is good thing about some
preacher in Moline. 1t was as follows: Sh
Mr.. NJ, Of Moline, Ill. has been
kind Of a preacher for some time. He
at length got the notion that it was
wrong to make any preparation for his
sermon, believing that his duty required
that he should trust to the inspiration Of
the moment. Eo-.3...ra -. AZ s-N.1sa ..
One Sunday, when he was to prsacl, at
Moline, he walked into his pulpit and
opened his Bible, as was his custom, at
random, he happened to open at the first
chapter of Mathew, and read the second
verse as follows: ...... ... r..
abraham forgot Isaac and Isaac for
got Jacob; and Jacob forgot Judas and his
brethren" =n $3.50 EtFs
The old man seemed somewhat puzzled
to find any application for the Scripture,
but at length started ahead. Said he, my
friends, this passage Of scripture is meant
to teach the shorness Of human memory,
and it does seem to me that some of them
old patreacks was mighty forgitful." -.. g.

Railroad Interests.

| Railroad Interests, E.@"
In the Chicago Times of the 11th inst.
we find spicy letter from Col. Richard.
son, of this city, upon general and loca
topics. We extract so much as has refer
ence to the h. r. interests of this locality
The railroad excitement has not abated
The Prairie du Chien and Milwaukee Com
pany, your readers are aware, located thci,
depot building Gin 1850 on the channel OF
tho Mississippi, "in pigs eyc.' Let mt
explain the buildings aforesaid are on the
main -taad, with a long slough as a steam.
boat harbor Immediately in front. Between
this slough and the river proper are two
islands Of considerable length, and between
the islands is a narrow pass through which
all boats must travel to reach the depot
buildings. This pass is called THE Pig
Eye" Pigs Eye Pass is always Of depth
sufficient for the largest steamers, Int the
slough itself is often shallow enough to
touch the bottom Of the steamers drawing
less than three and half feet water
Daring the fall months, when the river is
usually low, and the grain t,ale unusually
active, 1t is said by the company that they
cannot receive and discharge river freights
with celebrity or profit, and hence it is de
clded to remove the grain elevator to Il
point up the river and on the main channel
(east side), so as to obyiate the inconveni-
ences resulting from the; low water Of the
slough. The active men Of the company
d'sclaim any idea Of transferring the bust
ness Of the road (dcpot buildings incluaed)
to Upper Town, but the citizens Of Lower
Town and the citizens Of McGresor think
they sec in this move an intention to aban.
don the south crossing, and to form a con-
ncctlon between Iowa and Wisconsin at a
point several miles farther north McGrc.
sor is yet in her youth; the country west
of us lis scarcely discovered; :" but we al
ready ship per annIm not less than five
million bushels Of grain; ten millions of
pounds OF pork; four to five thousand
head Of cattle; hides, furs, tallow, and
other articles, amounting to $780, 900 more;
= and we naturally think the Prairie dn
Chien and Milwaukee Railway had better
retain this narrow" city as customer
If the Wisconsin folks regard us as a poor
feeder to their road. we will be spirited
enough to state oar facilities and CONNER
cal stock in trade to Illinois capitalists, and
induce direct railway connection with
Chicago. Apaper is now being circulated
and generally signed by the McGregor and
South Prairie du Chen people, protesting
against the apparent contemplated change
OF crossing. What will be the result of
the agitatio2 we are having here on this
subject cannot be guessed at, but it will
evidently be to the interest OF your Ogdens
and either moneyed men to give the map Of
this country glance, and look at our com
mcrcial pretensions.

A WIFE. "A wife is more to be priced
than gold. ~ The true wife makes Of earth
Heaven, and happy indeed is the man
who has one. Her cares tighten the food
of sorrow her smiles chase away gloom
from the heart Her kiss throws around
man an armor against temptation. Her
soil ,itude keeps man from many danger.
Her love makes all better men. Her smiles
are our greatest reward. Her sympathy
the balm that heals lacerated hearts. Hor
hand alone that can, by its gentle pressure
drive pain from our throbing brow. a
wife is Gods best gift to man, not priced
till lost s With aswifs. q man amounts to
something; without one he is like the moon
