THE WAR SPIRIT. !.

Secure from actual warfare, we have loved
To swell the war-whOOp, passionate for war !
We send our mandates for the certain death
OF thousands and ten thousands boys and girls,
Aud women that would groan to see child 10
Pun of an insects leg, all read Of war: ".-
The best amusement for our mornings meal!
The poor wretch who has learnt his prayers
From curses, who knows scarcely words
enough I'D na..-f.' 5.-. OH .re.---
To ask a blessing from his Heavenly Father,
Becomes fluent phrase man, absolute
And technical in victories and defeat, Ge =.
And all our dainty terms of fratricide;
Terms which we trundle smoothly 'on our
tongues, ri, at ,fe', CT r. 't.-'
Like mere distractions empty sounds to which
We join no feeling, and attach no form .
AS if the soldier died without wound;
AS if the fbres of this god-like frame
Were gored without a pang; as if the wretch
Who fell in battle doing bloody deeds, ...
Passed off to Heaven translated and not killed
AS though he had no wife to pine for him,
No God to judge him.

SAINT PAUL. FRIDAY: MARCH l3' 1863

fore he walked, sailed, rode; sometimes
he wandered forth in the morning., to wit
ness the rising sun and again in the sum-
mer night, the moon would lure him out
from the unhealthy lamp, to roam with
loved ones beneath her rays. ....-., "a
Now, during all this time, little Obediah
was as busy as bee. He had taken
school which occupied part of his time,
and the income enabled him to pay his ex-
penses. Nothing called him from his du-
ty. The moon shed her silver radiance in
vain; and he had seen the sun rise so Of
ten, that it had lost its novelty. His feel
ings were not awakened by wandering af-
fections, nor was his clear and calculating
brain disturbed by the intrusive visions of
fancy. Nature, art, beauty, and fashion
went on with their various revolutions and
adventures without affecting him-his
time was devoted to study, and he knew
no other pleasure. .. .'.. ..4., F. .as-1
Ten years passed away, and brought
with it, as usual, many unexpected changes.
Charles Chatterton, the lovely, the elegant,
the glass of fashion, and the mould of
form, had been left in poverty by the fail
ure of his father Bred up in the luxuries
of life, and unprepared to meet its ruder
scenes, he was inadequate to support him
self. His fine, but effeminate spirit, broke
down, and he lives in poverty, neglected
by his former friends, and awaiting mis-
cradle death.
Obadiah, on the contrary, has succeed
ed beyond expectation. His skill and
knowledge have. acquired for him a,high
reputation; and he, is rapidly amassilg
fortune, which he will doubtless knew how
to keep, as well as to obtain. His man
ners, too, have become polished during his
commerce with the world, and the awk-
ward country lad is now one of the rich
est and most celebrated lawyers of one of
the finest States in the Union. His in
fluence is visible upon large portion of
society, and he has refused many offers to
send him to Congress. What pity it is
that the fine and delicate enjoyments of
our nature are so often inconsistent with
worldly success, and that wealth and fame
must be sought by so many sacrifices of
feeling and affection.

The Negro Riot in Detroit.

The following additional particulars of
the riot in Detroit are from special dis
patches to the Chicago Times:
DETROIT, March 6.-The trial of the ne
gro Faulkner, for committing rape on
two girls less than twelve years old, was
concluded to-day by the jury bringing in o
verdict of guilty, and the prisoner being
sentenced to imprisonment in the State
Prison for life. The mob gathered around
the court room, and the military had to be
called out to protect him on his way to
Jail. The crowd was fired into, and three
white men were killed or mortally wound
ed. ,-
When the soldiers returned to camp, the
mob attacked and destroyed several build.
ings occupied by negroes, and finally killed.
one of the occupants. Immediately all
the negroes we're hunted down and killed,
and the crowd, which kept increasing,
commenced firing their dwellings.
At this time the city is literally in pos
session Of the mob, numbering some 49,
900, and all our streets and buildings are
illuminated by the confagration. The au--
thorities have called out all the available
hIiitoAy iOASO3 do 1OAAONo
Of infantry at Ypsilanti, 900; the provost
guard, battalion of cavalry, and other fore
es in the city, 500; making together 1, 400
men. They cannot be gathered tonight
so as to accomplish anything. Everything
in the shape of fire engines is out trying to
quench the flames.
A large number of buildings have been
destroyed By the fires; but, as they were.
of an inferior class, the loss is not very
heavy. ..-s ..t, ,
1t is claimed that the negroes set some
of them on fire for revenge ~ '2e9
The 9th Infantry, from Ypsilanti, ar-on
rived half an hour ago,-but not until the
mob had partly dispersed,-but are being
stationed in different parts of the city.
The citizens turned out to guard their
property till the troops arrived. aTH. as 3.
1t is believed that from twenty to- thirty
