Germans bought our securities in
large amounts when we were in need
of money, and their friendship never
tagged, when the despots of Europe
were praying for the overthrow of
this Republic. This, perhaps, is one
of the reasons for the bitter luminosity
of Democrats towards the Germans.

An ocean Steamship for st. Louis

An ocean steamship for St. Louis.
The st. Louis Democrat has been
favored with private letter from Mr..
8. H. Leathe, Of the firm of Leathe &
Pettis, of st. Louis, dated Liyerpool,
England, July Is, 1870. From it we
learn that the project of direct trade
with Europa has not been abandoned
by st. Louis, but that vessels are ae-
tually building to enter the trade.
The people of the Mississippi and
Ohio River Vallies are greatly inter-
ested in the success Of this great I'M
dertaking, and will rejoice with st.
Louis in case it should SO turn out.
The writer of the letter says:
''The Liverpool and Mississippi
Steamship Company are TO establish a
new line of steamers to New Orleans.
Messrs. Finn, Main & Montgomery
are building two iron vessels specially
designed for this trade. One, the st.
Louis, Is being built at Birkenhead,
opposite Liverpool. This is to be the
pioneer vessel. By invitation of Cap
tain Finn, I went through the vessel
now on the stocks. She is expected
to be launched about the first of Au-

The second is building on the Clyde
to be called the Crescent City -
2,0O0 tons, and will be launched about
the same time as the st. Louis.
Captain Finn has been master of a
vessel formerly, and sailed to New
Orleans for many years, and knows the
kind of vessel required. He claims
these are the first steamers which
have ever been built specially adapted

to 20 up to st. Louis, and think they
are quite inclined to adopt the sugges-
ton. If they do, / shall manage to
have a good quantity of plate and

Then Willie's arms found their way
to his fathers neck, and clung there
tightly. His cheeks, when his head
went back upon the pillow, were wet,
but not with his own tears.

the father and mother were left alone

Pollock saying-"Take this; you may
perhaps, read and appreciate the senti
ment long after I have ceased to b
among the living"
There's something in the ''parting hour
VIII chill the wnrmest heart
Yet kindred, com rades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part; II
But this I've seen, and many pang
Has pressed 1t on my mind
The one who goes Is happier - .....
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be.
Adventurous, dangerous. far,
To the wild deep or bleak frontier.
To solitude, or war
Still something cheers the heart that dorcs
In all of human kind,
And they who go are happier
1AtAH lIlOSc tHcy ACdNC DSAAAus
The bride goes to the bridegrooms homo
With doubtings and with tears,
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas the mother who remains,
What comfort can she find
But this-the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind?
Have you friend, a comrade dear.
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term Of sweet concOursc
At length will have an end!
And when you part-as part you will
o take 1t not unkind,
Ii he who goes is happier
Tnan you he leaves behind!
God wills it so-and so 1t is:
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay;
And when at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind?
