COLLAPSE OF THE FENIAN ExPE-
DITION.

Inglorious Finale Of the Movement Against
Canada-Gen. Spear Marches Up Pigeon
HiI and Marches Down Again.
New YoRk, June 10.-New York specials from
81. Albans yesterday announce the 6Niais of the
Fenian invasion Of Canada. The right wing Of the
Fenan army was retreating from Pigeon Hill to
that place, and the members are preparing to go
home.
Tho decentralization of the vhoo force is complete,
and both officers and men have refused further duty
Desortions occurred by the Wholesale, and General
Spear ordered retreat TO St. Albans. Their re-
Inducements, arms and ammunition failed to reach
them. Their ammunition was carried to Vermont
and slowed away in the rear Of q barn, where II
will doubtless be taken by United States troops,
who are marching to the border. Considerable
plunder was carried of by the men.
General Spear says ho would rather have been
shot than to have left Canada in that manner.
Any Fenians who have not the means will be
furnished with transportation by the United States
Government Many will avail themselves of the
opportunity to leave tonight.
General o'Neil was prevented from leaving Potts
dam Junction for St. Albans by Lieutenant Colonel
Jackson, Of the LIST United States artillery.
General Meade arrived at st. Albans Saturday
evening. He was sercnadsd by the band Of the Sd
regulars, and made brief speech to the effect that
the settlement of this trouble would prove satsfac
tory to our own and other governments, and show
to the world that the United States Government,
notwithstanding the past, were determined to do
unto others as they would be done by.
General Spear and staff surrendered to Colonel
Livingston, Of the United States army. Some of
the Fsnians are said to have insulted some Of the

business and gentleness which accom-
pany that style of speech.
One more very common and very
annoying habit may be named, and
that is, not going when one starts,
but standing in the door. Many a
cold has been taken by the patient
lady of the house with nothing on for
protection, being detained by gos-
siping friend, sometimes ten minutes
to hear last words and confidential
communications talking thus in the
noise and roar Of thestreet necessitates
loud talking, and sometimes the most
confidential things are heard all over
the house, and even across the street
We remember, in particular, fam
ily that lived next door to us. The
young ladies would stand on the steps
and talk, sometimes ten minutes, and
we were obliged to go away from our
open parlor windows, or hear all
their arrangements and confidential
conversations, and, forgive us for say
ing it, we have seen some people
make display on the steps on pur-
pose, as we thought, to attract atten-
ton from people across tire way
they have talked loudly and laughed
heartily on purpose to make a display.
Never stand and talk when you
propose to 60.
We have seen delicate woman
rise to dismiss her company after
they had reached the door and must
go right away;" we have seen such a
lady stand till she turned pale with
fatigue, while her visitors, ruddy and
strong, and jolly, would spin long
yarns, and then stop again in the cold
hall, and on the steps, and after
reaching the sidewalk. The proper
rule is. when you have decided to
leave, to be off in sixty seconds
Never keep n person standing in the
hall or at the parlor door, but take
leave of your friends where they are,
and go at once.

Better send the young virgin, with
her wreath Of rosebuds, her tender
ness, her ignorance of life's suferings
her dream pictures of holy Eden,
into the graveyard of earth, which is
Gods field, than into the waste places
Of life.
The moral and apprehensive nature
Of girlsis more rapidly developed than

faster than planets, or as flowers
bloom sooner in valleys than on noun

strange, cold bodies, scatter like mol

WANT OF DECISION great deal
Of labor is lost to the world for the
want of little courage. Every day
sends to their graves number of OBJ
scure men, who have only remained
in obscurity because their timidity has
prevented them from making a first
effort, and who, if they had only been
induced to begin, would in all proba-
bility have gone great lengths in the
career of fame. The fact is, that in
doing anything in the world worth do
ing we must not stand shivering on
the bank, thinking of the cold and
danger, but jump in and scramble
through as well as we can. 1t will not
do to be perpetually calculating risks
and adjusting nice chances; it did oil
very we'll before the flood, when man
could consult his friends upon an in
tended publication for hundred and
fifty years, and live to see its success
for six or seven centuries afterward;
but at present a man waits and doubts,
and consults his brotheA, and his un-
cles, and his particular friends, till one
day he finds that he is sixty-fve years
of age, and that he has lost so much
time in consulting first cousins and
particular friends that he has no more
time to follow their advice. There is
so little time for over-squeamishness
at present, that the opportunity slips
away. The very period of life at which
man chooses TO venture, If ever, is
SO confined that it is no bad rule to
preach up the necessity, in such in:
stances, of little violence done to the
feelings, and efforts made in defiance
of such strict and sober calculations.
