BUILD A HOME.

Take root somewhere. fellow eomrade,
Look out for rainy day;
Don't float down the stream with driftwood
Mong the slush that floats away.
Cease your dreaming Of a castle
With its lofty spires and dome.
Steer fer some prolific harbor,
Go to work and build home.
Riches never come by wishing,
Nor are castles built of dreams.
They are only gay and dazzling,
Like the bright suns golden beams;
Leave Your wishing. dreaming. sailing
'Mid the bubbles and the foam,
And select some spot that's pleasant
Go TO work and build home
Past are autumn days approaching
Down the river lies the bay,
Where you'll find not many landings,
Amer youth has passed away;
Then pray you take root somewhere,
Il Is time you cease 20 roam.
Say You will, that's half the battle
Go to work and build home.

knowledge and education are usually
regarded as one. So is Christian and
a member of church but there is Of
ten very marked difference. Marked
both in this world and the next. That
a man can be educated and not know
much, is truth self-evident, probably,
to most of my readers. Education is
only knowledge, when it is proper and
embraces Wisdom. Embracing Wisdom
may seem very improper, but the old
girl is not embraced enough to hurt. She
don't allow every simpleton to ''lally-
gag" around her. When you see fell
low sparkling Wisdom, you can calculate
there is something of him besides hair

kindling wood of our immortal genius,
and steams US on to glory. 1t is the
Samson who breaks the bonds that bind
US to the clods of earth. and bids us soar
and bump our heads against the stars.
Education is the under pinning of So
ciety, the safety of the nation. l am
afraid we Americans lose sight of this
important truth, and are placing too
much reliance on our Congressman.
When our educational and religious Sc
curities get SO low that we have nothing
but our Representatives in Congress to
offer as collateral. then goodbye to the
American nation. The seething waters
of bankruptcy will roll over US, and the
blackness of desolation will settle down
on our Liberties If the Israelites all
perished in barren wilderness follow

ALGERNoN CHARLES SWINBURNE comes OF
patrician ancestry. His father, Admiral S vim
burne, is the son of Sir John Swinburne, a
person whose life is well worth reading. SWIM
burne's mother is the daughter of the late
Earl of Ashburnham, whose family, though
one of them was the closest follower of Charles
l. to his death, afterward held sensibly aloof
from the cause of the later Stuart's, and in
creased in wealth and titles. Swinburne was
five years at school, four of which were passed
at Elton. He never cared for any pursuit,
sport, or study as youngster, except poetry,
riding and swimming; and though as boy
his verses may have been bad enough, he was
far from bad at the two latter. Being bred by
the sea, he was good oarsman, and is vain to
this day of having scaled a well-known cliff
on the south coast, ever before and ever since
reputed to be inaccessible
Swinburne's friends all know and Joke him
about his lifelong fondness (Which he has
always found reciprocated) for very little chill
dren and very cid persons. OF the latter he
has known two grand examples in his grand
father and Walter Savage Lander, and last
summer he made the acquaintance of Mr.
Trelawney, the friend of Shelley, of Byron.
and of Greece triad of Titans, of whom
one was giant of genius. The present
piratical old hero calls Swinburne the last of
the poets, who, he thought, all had died with
Byron. The larger portion of his time is
passed at his residence, Holm wood Henley
where he is pretty steadily occu-
pied with his untiring pen, turning out his
lyrical verse and glowing critical prose with
equal facility and vigor. At times he runs up
to London tor a few days communing with
his friends, among whom Rossetti and Morris
ire perhaps the most distinguished.

QUERY !?

Pinchback's latest protege, the ambitious
Edmunds, justi6es his appointment as Pro-
lessor of Mathematics in our Boys High
School, by saying that he is a graduate of the
Polytechnic Institute, at Paris, whose dip
Iona is a guarantee of q fine education.
Granting this statement to be true, and
recognizing the fact that the laws of France
forbid the admission into that Institute of
any save French children, the question natu-
rally arises how did Edmunds, a native
American, secure the privilege of attendance
at the classes of that exclusive academy.
The only way of arriving at conclusion is
by surprising that some one for Edmunds re-
sorted to species Of fraud, and succeeded in
inducing the faculty of the institute to be-
lieve that he was q native of ola belle
France" Under no other theory can we ac-
count for his good fortune, and it must be
conceded either that he was not educated
there, or that he obtained his education
through the preparation of fraud by his
representative, and that he now carries about
with him, as diplomas, glaring certificates of
this chicanery.

OUR WHARYES.
One Gives Way and Drops a Lot
Of Rice into the River.

For some weeks past the BULLETIN has beef
inviting the attention of the proper authori
ties to the condition of the wharf in tn,
neighborhood of Cont street, and suggesting
that it should be examined and put in com
plete repair before the time arrived for receiv.
ing the regular rice crop, predicting that
unless something was done in the matter
some serious injury or damage would surely
result.
This prediction was verified on Saturday
morning. The Upper Coast packet W. J..
Poitevent arrived at the wharf at 80 A. M,
with large cargo, principally rice, and i'm
mediately proceeded to discharge the same
After she had placed about 100 sacks of rice
on the wharf, it gave way, precipitating the
whole lot into the river.
This is not the first accident of the kind
that has occurred in this locality. On the
Sd of last August the steamer Annie B.
brought down two large sugar-rollers and
after one had been landed, and whilst the
men were preparing to take out the other
the wharf broke through and let the first one
into the river, and it cost quite a little sum to
raise it. 1t is full time that these wharves
should be put in good order as their present
condition will necessarily cause great loss to
shippers, and probably to the city by way
OF suits for damages.

The Dismissal Of Mcclellan.

| On the 9TH Of November, at evening, in q
storm of snow early for that climate, McClel.
Ian found himself under his tent with Gen.
burnside, when messenger was announced
| from the President It was Gen. Buckinp-
ham, an officer unknown to the Army of the
Potomac, who brought an order couched in
three lines and signed by Halleck. The
| order dismissed Mcclellan from the COM
mand OF the army and designated Burnside
as his successor. Such a piece of news fell
with the suddenness Of thunderbolt on
these two officers. whom an old and close
friendship united; but the latter alone showed
any emotion at the order which imposed on
him responsibility to which he had never
aspired.
After Mcclellan had read the dispatch,
without any visible feeling, he passed it to
Burnside, simply saying: "You command the
army" Burnside resisted for some time.
All his friends and his former chief pressed
him to accept; they overcame his scruples.
which the future was unhappily destined to
justify. On the morning of the 9Th the army
OF the Potomac learned with establishment
and grief that it had lost the chief who had
formed 1t, who had first led it to battle and
who had shown it the steeples of Richmond,

restored it to confidence in itself, and who at
length had Just conducted it to victory.
We will not here judge the military career
OF Gen. Mcclellan. Despite our sincerity, the
reader would see in such an appreciation the
reflection Of our sentiments OF profound gra-
titude and of faithful friendship for our
former chief; but each can form his Judgment
in accordance with the facts which we have
impartially recounted. We only state that
the authorities at Washington took every
kind Of precaution to prevent the soldiers of
the army Of the Potomac from giving to
Mcclellan proofs of their sympathy, which
would have been too severe criticism of their |
decision, and that the news Of his departure
caused universal joy among the adversaries

to the Philadelphia Press:
A strong, proud government like that Of
Germany, with vast army ready to move in
q day; with steel-n erved statesmen, and q
policy as watchful as its mathematical eagle;
with ripe schools dropping their selected
fruit into every household with stern reli-
gion Of its own, can not be otherwise than
absolute. There is, therefore, no free press
in Germany, no public meetings, no out
spoken politics, end hence not fiber of
republicanism. There was spirit of free

the talisman that controls all sects,
suppresses all opposition, and stiles all
expression of opinion, save that which sup
ports the government in its austere mission.
met very learned man, yesterday, who ad-
mitted all these things and yet claimed that
he was a Republican. "But observe" he
said, as l courteously denied his consistency,
Il am not a Republican in the sense that

America, with all your liberty and license,
the EXTREMIST Radical accepts both; but here
we have classes who insist upon rights, but
