A few weeks ago call was made IN San
Francisco for a meeting to take into consids
alton the best manner TO protect the immi-
grants ON the Plains from the attacks Of In
dams. The caH met with general apprOba-
ton and countenance, and bid fair to result
in success, until some bigoted, narrow mind
ed partisan discovered that the person who
had been chiefly instrumental in originating
the .moYement-Jobns Beeson--was a = Cop
peahead," and Catholic. The Mayor Coon
.interfered aad had the call suppressed, and
the proposed meeting prevented. Thus. to
crafty mean and malignant spite against
one differing in political feeling from them
selves, and TO crafty the old spirit of Puri-
tanical intolerance against a Catholic, the
suffering immigration-ho women and
children are left to the knife of sayages. Such
is RepAblicanism; such is the christianity of
the Administrationists such tbemanhoodand
humanity of the supporters of A. Lincoln.
A. paper in that city lately claimed that for
eigners in the Democratic ranks were igno-
rant and vulgar, and that the Republican
procession embraced nearly all the educated
and refined. 1t might, while putting in its
claims, have added, also, the most of all that
is mean in soul. small in intelect and con-
temptible in. action. Such instances as this
places men beyond the sympathy or the fell
lowship of human beings.

Home is the wish Of the soldier, and tended
visions mingled with the tronbled dreams Of
trench and tented field, where the palm tree
waves its graceful balms, and birds of jewell
ed lustre flash and flicker among the gor-
geous flowers, the exile sit staring on vacancy;
and borne on the wings of fancy over inter-
home and hears the lark singing above his
fathers field and see his fair haired brother,
with light foot and childhood's glee, chasing
the butterfly by his native stream. And in
his best hours, home his own native home,
with his fltner above that starry sky, will be
the wish Of every Christian man. He looks
around him-he finds the world is full Of
suffe ring he is distressed with it's sorrows
and vexed with its sins. He looks within
him-he finds much in his own corruptions
to grleve for. In the language of a heart re-
PEELED grieved, vexed, he often turns his eyes
upv ards, saying, " | would not live hear al

TAKE CARE OF SMALL THISGs.-No man
ever made fortune, or rose to greatness in
any department, without being careful of
small things. As the beach is made up Of
grains of sand, SO the mlionalr's fortune is
an aggregation of single adventures often
inconsderable in amount. Every emf
net merchant, from Glrard and Astor down,
has been noted for attention to details. Few
distinguished lawyers have ever practised in
the courts, who have not been remarkable for
a simalar Characteristic. 1t was one of the
most striking peculiarities of the first Napol-
cons mind. The most petty details of house
hold expenses, the most trivial facts relating
to his troops, were in his opinion, as worthy
of attention as the tactics of a battle, the
plans of a campaign, or the revision ofa code.
Demosthenes, the worlds unrivaled orator,
was as anxious about the texture of his arsu-
ment or the garniture of his words. Before
such examples, and the very highest walks Of
intellect, how contemplate the conduct of
small minds who despise small things.

The Marsellaise was inspired by genius, pat

Rouget de Lisle was an officer of the garrison

wife and daughter were the only critics and
admirers of the soldier poets song. One
night he was at supper with his friends fami-

of ham. Dietrick, looking sorrowfully at
De Lsle, said, " Plenty is not our feast, but

DEAD LEAVES.
BY STELLA OF LACKAwANA,
Dead leaves everywhere
C;irging to the stricken trees
Floating on the fckle breeze;
Still at last, as sumbrous seas,
In the soft, spring air.
Dead leaves everywhere:
Pressed beneath the dews of night
Folded in the sunny light;
Sombre-hued, or golden bright,
Mournful everywhere
Dead leaves at my feet
Oh the saddest sight o f all,
When these summer nurslings fall.
Spreading wide one desolate pail
Der the merry street!
Dead leaves as pass
Dropping sOrrOwfully down,
by the way-side; pale, or brown.
From the stray trees of the town -
Poor dead things, alas
Dead leaves on the wives:
Pitiful waves that may not rest.
With their white uncertain crest,
Aud the death-freish on their breast.
BoTne to brook side graves.
Dead trees everywhere:
Hear the chill winds mufled moan,
Through the naples, meadow grown,
With their proud arms outward thrown -
Proud, but ah, how bare
Dead hopes everyw here
Dropped from Y uth's delicious bough-
Lodged on plllId cheek and brow
Count them dead, or dying now
Dying everywhere.
Dead loreS everywhere
Gould | rest my weary eye,
On spot beneath the sky,
Where these dead loves did not lie,
Then away despair
