WHY CAN'T I HAVE A BEAUY

o dear 0 dear there Is just one thing
I'd truly love to know
Why can't | have like other girls,
young and handsome beau
There's Snllie Jcnes, and Matte Smith,
And freckeled Susie Grow,
trio like tho Gorgon Maids,
Yet each one has a beau
But horo's poor me, rs fair n flower
As ever chance TO blow
My winning voice and sweet beguies
All fail to catch beau
/ dress as neat and smile as sweet
As any girl know.
Yet, as | live, do believe
III never get a beau!
I'm always found, in best attire,
Wherever gents may go,
Yet not one chap in all the lot
Asks NE to be my--beau
Coafound such men, such silly dolts--
How very dull and lew,
To stand and look, to grin and squirt
Afraid to be Il beau!
Just list to me, yo gawky clowns,
Now don you fully know,
That you should be, each one Of you,
Some fair young lady's-beau /!
Then brush your teeth, and oil your hair,
And let your 'stacious grow,
And turn to be civil man.
gay and gallant beau

Singular Career of Gen. schoepff

A Frankfort, Kentucky, correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Gazette says;
Just now when all eyes are turned to
Somerset and Schoepf's brigade, it may
be interesting to supply some particular )
in the career o! the General who is lead
ing our forces there, and whose skilliul
general.ship alone We can rely Oh Tor sucr
cess against the overwhelming odds.
!. is one of the mortliying humiliations,
Of which the war is bringing So many TO
| the rebels, that the aristocratic Tennes-
see Congressman, who commands the reb.
ell army, has been once ignomniously de-
feated by, and is now again opposed to, a
late New York hotel porter.
When Gen. Schoepff came to this coun-
try he was without means. NotAing bet
ter offering, he asked and procured the
situation Of porter in one of the leading
New York hotels, and many lacy who
reads the Gazette this morning has had
her trunk carried up and down stairs by
the present brigadier general, whose sec
ond victory We are hourly expecting the
wires to fash over the country. After a
time be went to Washington, where he
continued as porter in one Of the hotels,
until his unvarying polleness and indus,
try brought him under the notice Of Mr..
Holt. Pleased with his appearance and
determined to see whether he would rise
il he had a chance, Mr.. Holt gave him a
situation in the Patent Office. At first
his duties were very hunlble-carrying
bundles, arranging models, and the like !:
but he was gradually tried on more i'm.
portant labors, and it was still found that
whatever he done was well done. A po-
sition was then arranged for him more
suitable to his newly discovered abilities.
Mr. Holt continued to take great inter.
est in him, and missed no opportunity for
his advanccment When he was trans-
ferred to the War Department he took
Schoeptf with him. An important survey
in Virginia Glanced to 'e needed, aHd
SchoepR was entrusted with it. This
brought him under the eye Of Gen. Scott,
and his military education and acquire
ments wereior the first time brought to
light ThenceiOlward his rise was sure.
II continued to be employed on impom
tant business in the War Department till
educated officers began to be demanded
for our volunteers, when the New York
hotel porter was appointed brigadier gen.
eral and sent to protect the state Of his
benelactor from invasion. Mr.. Holt has
already the proud satisfaction Of knowing
that the man he took from hotel drudgery
IN Washington, won Wild Cat; let us hope
it may speedily be added that the same
leader has held Somerset.

Hea.If the abolitionists should succeed
in their endeavors to make our present
struggle a war Of emancipation, the loyal
people in certain localities who are now
fighting harder, risking and suffering
more in the cause of the Union than
those Of aGy other section, would be un-
consttutionally and unjustly robbed Of

The TINE ArpRoAcHIsc.-Everything Of

The TINE APPRoACHING.-Everyth OF
earth, which is stamped as the handiwork OF
man. must have termination. Govern
ments have never endured among men be-
yond varying period, marking the ultimate
of decadence, beyond which no government
can live. The lessons derived from the
birth, growth, decay and death Of nationaii-
ties, teach but little beyond what can be
learned by investigating the commonest pc
culiarites of human nature as exhibited In
the ordinary affairs of life. Men aggregated
into governments do not act differently from
what they do in smaller communities But
of the few real lessons Which history teaches
there remains for our guidance the potential
and inHexible maxim, that no nation comes
to its decline and fall so long as the love OF
country remains in the breasts of the people,
and they remain uncorrupt. A pure people
are always patriotic, and debauched popu-
lace have no birthright which the most mis-
erable mess of pottage would not buy. 1t
occurs to us that one of the lessons of scrip
tural history shadow forth his truth The
fate of the Assyrian, Egytian and Jewish ma
tions, as given and foretold in the Bible, as
suredly illustrates this identical truth, whe-
ther so intended or not. 1t being then es-
tablished that the want of virtue among the
masses of the people is at once the cause and
precursor of national ruin, we might go still
further, and contend that nations are de-
stroyed from no other original cause. vi
those nations that have ceased to be, do not
all in their going down prove this fact?-
Applying these dcsultory observations to the
case eff this nation, we are assured that the
day has not come for the demolition Of our
Government. For many grievous sins we
have committed in bygone days, it is meet
that we should receive the allotted punish
ment that walks ever by the side of wicked
deeds, but it is not easy to believe that a me-
cessity exists, arising from the wickedness of
eur people, for a destruction of our national
fabric, always so dearly loved, and now more
than ever, when assailed by a most dangerous
foe, and when we seem to stand alone, the
object Of the hate of nearly every Government
on earth. No, the time for the death and
burial of our country has not come, but the
day of our fierce ordeal has nearly passed.
Peace is, we firmly believe, near at hand,
and we can but think that in this fiery trial
we have been in many things much benefit
ted. Most true is it, that tens of thousands
of our true. as we'll as our erring fellow citi-
zens now sleep the sleep that knows no wax
ing, and that penury, sorrow and suffering
will sit in fthc seats of bygone opulence,
but still we shall have vindicated the nation s
integrity, and cleared away the sapping
cankers that were eating into the heart of the
Republic.
