GOING UP ANp coM1Ne DOWN.
This is a simple song, It's true

This is simple song, tits true
Ny songs are never over-nice-
And yet I'll try to scatter through
A little pinch of good advice.
Then listen, pompous friend, and learn
To never boast of much renown,
For fortunes wheel is on the turn,
And some come up and some come down.
1 know vast amount-ot stocks
A vast amount of pride insures;
But Fate has picked so many locks
1 wouldn't like to warrant yours.
Remember then and never spurn
The one whose hand is hard and brown,
For he is likely to go up,
And you are likely TO come down.
Another thing you will agree I'd
(The truth may be as well confessed),
That Goldfish Aristocracy"
Is but scaly thing at best,
And Madam in her.robe of lace,
And Bridget in her faded gown,
Both represent goodly race
From Father Adam handed down
Life is uncertain-fun Of change;
Little we have that will endure;
And 'twere doctrine new and strange,
That places high are more secure;
And if the tickle goddess smile,
Yelling the spectre and crown,
'Iis only for a little while,
Then B goes up and A comes down.
This world, for all of us, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds and pence
Then let me humbly recommend
A little use of common sense.
Thus Lay all pride and place aside,
And have care on whom you frown,
For fear you'll see him going up,
While you are only coming down.

them. From the watershed they
converge into four large rivers, and
these again into two mighty streams
in the great Nile Valley, which be-
gins in ten degrees to twelve degrees
south latitude. 1t was long ere
light dawned on the ancient prob
lem, and gave me a clear idea of
of drainage. / had to feel my way eve
ry step Of the way, and was generally
groping in the dark, for who cared
where rivers ran. Wedrank our I'LL,
and let the rest run by. The Portu-
gese who visited Cazembe asked for
slaves, and I heard nothing else. l
asked about the waters, and ques
toned and cross questioned until |
was afraid of being set down as af-
fllcted with hydrocephalus.
My last work, in which l have
been greatly hindered from want of
suitable attendants, was folio wing
the central line of drainage down
the rough country of the cannibals
called Manyumea, or shortly, Man
yema. This line of drainage has
four lakes in it. The fourth / was

tbs from one to three miles broad
and can never be reached at any
point or at time of the year. The
two western drains, Lupira and
Burth Fries river, flow into it. AT
Lake Kamaloona, there is the great
river Louaine, which flows through
Lake Lincoln into it, too, and seems
to form the western arm of the Nil
DIRE. Now know about 600 miles
of watershed, and unfortunately the
seventh hundred is the most inter
esting of all, for in 1t, if am moi
mistaken four hundred fountains
arise from the earthen mound, and
the last of the four becomes at nc
great distance off a large river. Two
of these run north to Egypt, Lapers
and Laurine, and two run south into
inner Ethiopia, as Lambiad, or the
Seambizi and Kafneare. These are
not the sources of the Nile mention
ed by the Secretary of Minersia, il
the city of Sais to Herodotus.
1 have heard of them so often, ,anC
at so great distances off that l can
not doubt their existence, and il
spite of the sore longing for hom,
that seizes me every time l think o
my family, l wish to finish up thei
re-discOvery.
Five hundred pounds sterling
worth of goods have again unac
countably been entrusted to slaves
and have been over a year on ther
way, instead of four months. linus
go where they lie at your expense
can put natural completion to my
work, and if my disclosures regard
ing the terrible UjJan slavery should
lead to the suppression of the east
coast slave trade, l shall regard
that as a greater matter by far thar
the discovery of all the sources
of the Nile together. Now
that you have done with domestic
slavery forever, lend us your power
ful aid toward this great object
This fine country is blighted as with
a curse from above in order that the
slavery privileges Of the petty Sultan
ofZanzibar may not be infringed,
and the RIGHTS Of tho crown of Port
ugal, which are mythical, should be
kept in allegiance, till the same fu-
ture time when Africa will become
another India to the Portuguese
slave traders.
1 conclude by again thanking you
most cordially for your great gener-
osity, and am gratefully yours,

Probably few articles have ever had
so extensive a Sale, while none have
been more universally beneficial than
the celebrated MEXICAN MUSTANG

that 10 family can pass a single season

then to secure the best.

The other day he was called upon to attend
Gratz Brown IN New York, when Gratz face

This wonderful vegetable
restorative is the sheet-au-
chOr of the feeble and de-
bilitated. As a tonic and
cordial for the aged and Ian
guild it has no equal among
stOmachics. AS a remedy for
the nervous weakness to
which women are especially
subject, it is superceding ev-
cry other stimulant. In all
climates, tropical, temperate
or frigid, it acts as a specific
in every species of disorder
which undermines the bodily
strength and breaks downthe
animal spirits.

ARTHUR O'CONNOR.
A Sketch of the Lad who
Assaulted the Queen with
an Empty Pistol.
oorre,pondonce New York TrIbuno.1

correspondence new AorN iii"""o'I
He is a boy of seventeen,
who lived with his father,
mother, and six other children
in a second-A )or back of No.
4 Church.row, Houndsditch,
one of the poorest quarters of
London. His father is a native
of ireland, but all the children
were born in England. The
whole family are Protestants,
and no evidence has appeared
that any of them ever had the
most remote connection with
Fenianism. Arthur is describ,
ed as a timid, quiet boy. He
had been educated at ST. Dun
stan's School, then apprenticed
to a printing house, then was
under-clerk to a firm of solicit.
ors in Chancery lane, and about
month ago entered the en-
ploy of Messrs. Franks, oil,
man. His petition shows ira.
ces of hisleg@l experience-an
experience, that is, in the copy
ing of legal documents. He
bought his pistol on the Satur-
day or Monday preceding
Thanksgiving Day of a cloth
ier and silversmith, which |
suppose means pawn-broker,
named Layman. Layman's
son testifies that he sold it, and
that O'Connor asked him how
to load it, and when he requir-
ed furthur advice where to get
a flint for the lock, Layman
recommended him to get a
fresh one 'off the road" o..
Connor paid four shillings, Just
about one dollar, for the Won
derful implement by which he
proposed to secure the liberia
ton of the Fenian prisoners
All this being now known, l
presume no one will continue
to see in Arthur O'Connor a
Fenian agent, or to search in
his lodgings for evidence of a
Fenian conspiracy. The Fe-
mans may be a very bad lot,
aud they have certainly done
some foolish and some wicked
things, but they never got quite
down to the level of Arthur
O'Connor.

The residence of Hon. w. j.
Flagg, near Buena Vista, Scio-
to County, lately destroyed by
fire, was a very valuable habi-
tation, the eccentricity of an
eccentric man. 1t stood in the
midst of extensive graperies,
on the river hills, and was
built of hickory logs, peeled,
With the knots dressed down
smoothly, and the whole oiled
and vanished. The chimney
was built like the. affairs of old
out of lichend-covered and
moss-stained rock, as taken
from the quarry, untouched by
the hammer of the mason. The
road leading from the river tc
the house, was constructed al
a cost of $4,000.
There is quite a diversity o.
opinion prevailing as to tht
prospects of the growing croT
throughout the country. Some
of the agriculturists say thai
the cold weather in the absence
Of snow, in addition to pleasant
sunshine, causing the frozer
ground to thaw in the day
time, has frozen out much o
of the Forthcoming crop, while
Others contend that the grair
is not injured. It is probably
