Fire Department.

fire Department.
There is to be meeting of Pioneer Engine
Company No. on Monday evening next at sew
ten O'Clock precisely. 1t is suggested to US by
F. P. Brook, Esq, the secretary of the conpa-
ny, that it is deficient in numbers and they want
the good citizens to walk up and join.
We have no doubt our property owners are
well aware of the Importance of an efficient
fire department in the city; if they are not it is
high time they were wakened up on the subject.
They should open their eyes and apprehend
their impending danger.
A fire company, to be of any real service,
should consist of at least seventy-fve good,
able-bodied men, who will be ready at all times
to do their duty. If fire department is to be
kept up in the city at all it should be one of
some account. We do not by any means in
tend to convey the idea that the present COM
pany is not good enough what there is of it
but what can twenty or thirty men do in case
of heavy fire -? They would tire themselves
out at the breaks III half an hour and the con-
sequence would be that raw hands, who knew
no more about working an engine than a COW
knows about crinoline, would have to be put
on to work the machine. We have seen the re-
suit of two or three such instances in our time
Raw hands use up an engine four times as fast
as those who understand its workings, and
for that reason, if no other, there should be
fremen enough to man it for half day at
time if necessary.
We hope to see this matter look ed into and
acted upon. Don't risk too much on the res
possibility of insurance companies. Although
it is great blessing to be insured against loss
by fire, (Which can only be to certain extent(
it is far greater blessing to be able to prevent
the loss entirely.

Cheap Pleasures.

Cheap Pleasures.
Did you ever study the cheapness Of
some pleasures? asked an excellent writer.
Do you know how much it takes to make
a multitude happy? Such trifes as a pen
ny, word or smile do the work There
are two or three boys passing along-give
them each chestnut, and how smiling
they look They will not be cross for
some time. A poor widow lives in the
neighborhood, who is the mother of half
dozeu children, send them half peck of
sweet apples, and they will be happy. A
child has lost its arrow-the world to him
and he mourns sadly; help him to find
lt,-or make him another, and how quick
ly will the sunshine play upon his sober
face. A boy has as much as he can do to
pile up load of wood assist him a few
moments, or speak a pleasant word to him,
and he forgets his toll and works away
without minding it. Your apprentice has
broken mug, or cut the vent too large or
slightly injured piece of work Say,
&c You scoundrel, ," and he feels Hiserably
but remark, q am sorry" and he will
try to do better. You employ a man-p
him cheerfully, and speak pleasant word
to him and he leaves your Office with
contented heart, to light up his own hearth
with smiles of gladness
Pleasure is cheap-who will not bestow
it literally? If there are smiles, sunshine
and flowers all about US, let US not grasp
them with a miser's fist and lock them up
in our hearts. No Rather LEI US scatter
them about US, in the cot of the widow,
among the groups Of children in the crowd
ed mart, where men of business congre-
gate, in families. and everywhere We
can make the wretched happy, the dis
contented cheerful, the afflicted resigned
at an exceedingly cheap rate. Who will
refuse to do it.

Philbrook.
This poor fellow was here last week and
delivered what he called a poem entitled
.sthe men of the west" He is SO very fool
ish that comment on his production would
be out of place. He has not got brains
enough to sustain healthy existence
He should be discouraged by all respect
able people. There is nothing wrong
about the man but his brain, and that is
powerful weak
Notwithstanding Philbrook's idiotcy, we
think it a great shame that he sheuld be
treated as be was by some of the leading
men of this city. They ought to remem-
Der that there is law of nature that
should excite their sympathy for such IN
fortunate beings. rather than ther malice.

Look To Quality

As a paramount consideration, reverse the
rule making low rate of premium the
chief essential; for the CHEAPEST rate
is too frequently only an index Of the
POOREST Insurance.
As cur rates are graduated by the laws
of compensation, after ample experience,
the propriety of Insurance extends with
equal force to the safer classes of property
it does to those of more hazardous na-
ture. The safer the risk the lower the
pcrcentage-the greater the hazard the
higher the premium. So protect your
property by good policy from the Etna.

three days aud nights she never slepti but at
lass exhaustion did its works, and she fell into
hesvy slumber. She was awakened by sound
ss strange as it was unexpected. The watch,
silent since that fatal day, had begun to tick
fast and furious, as it never tiekad before; loud
enough to arouse hsr-loud enough to make
her spring to her pillow in an agony Of hope and

Eg The action of Congress makes Mr. NAL
lory fixture. A direct resolution Of want of
confidence was voted down by majority Of
six in vote of eigbty-eight, and one of those
whitewashing committees of investigation was
ordered, whose proceedings will last an indef
mite period. The effect of the proceeding, and
probably the design Of those VINO voted for it,
will be to hold Mr. Mallory in Office until the in
vestigaton comes to au end. This will be du-
ring the crisis Of the war; while the cause is
