Steamship Line. and certainly its experience
and record as public carrier of life and pro

tons for fly to hundred cabin passengers

passengers; and, carrying out the same priDci-

OF good and careful management We rtfel
particularly TO this class OF emigrants. bscaus'
they have been % frequently deceived and de-
frauded in the past, and because those Of oul
readers who bring their friends from the Ole
World are generally compelled 70 have then
come in this compartment.
To parties residing in the north Of England,
Scotland or ireland, this line offers special in
dacements, the route Of the steamers being
from Glasgow TO New York, calling at London
derry TO embark passengers and baggage.
For the especial accommodation of Swedish or
Norwegian passengers, two or three vessels ply
between Copenhagen, ChristiansAnd, Christi
ania and Gothenburg and the port Of Leith,
which is only forty miles distant from Glasgow,
where passengers make direct cor Iections both
ways with the powerful Atlantic steamers to
and from New York.
The steamers sail from New York regu-
larly every Saturday, and extra steamers run
every Wednesday. The rates Of passage are
on the average lower than by tie other lines
and the accommoda tons are in every way first
class. The cabins and staterooms are all on the
upper deck, fact which renders the ventila
ton far superior to that usually found in ocean
steamers.
The Anchor Line issues its own sight drafts
for any amount, payable at any of their numer-
Gus agencies in the Old World. Cabin plans
OF al the steamers may be seen, and stateroons
can be secured for any steamer. For further

WHAT RUINED FARMER BROWN.

To stagger down from manhood to the gloomy
rivers brink;
The happiness of earth and heaven sacrifice to

And what was farmer Brown. dear wife, few

An honest. toiling sober man: both kind to friend
and foe:
There was no better farm than his ia all this

Well fenced, well watered, aud well titled the
barns and houses coed.
His wife was happy and content, singing from
morn till night,
For everything upon the farm, and in the house

Until the tempter came and said sYou have nucb
goods in store,
Now eat, and drink rich farmer Brownl let toll

He listened to the tempter, and that was his great
sin;
lie hired men to sow the seed, and reap the har-
vest in;
He left off following the pillow he gave all work

And hilching up his finest horse, drove often to
the town
Men put him up for Office, and learned him all the
That constitutes a scholar in the school of nol
tics
This brought him often to the bar, where whisky

WILL THERE BE A WAR .

1t would seem that this is beo;n
ming to be a serious Question. si1na

swers 1t In such serious words and
conclusions as these:
we do not believe there will bo

we believe the Democratic marty viii

pursuance of them, will be wined
out and that without disturbance of

True Union, based upon consent free
and unreserved." -''0
The appeal, then, aud also tho
Democrats of the South we mich.
say, since the appeal speaks for
them, think we shall not have anotb.
er war, because they believe that De.
mocracy will triumph in 1872 and
because they believe "the obnox;an.

On the other hand, it is clearly to na
