mith's right arm! Stand like the noble oak-tree, when 'tis eaten By the Saperda and his ravenous swarm! For many smiths will strike the ringing blows, Ere the red drama now enacting close; And human insects, gnawing at thy fame, Conspire to bring thy honored head to shame. Stand like the firmament, upholden By an invisible but Almighty hand! He whomsoever justice doth embolden, Unshaken, unseduced, unawed shall stand. Invisible support is mightier far, With noble aims, than walls of granite are; And simple consciousness of justice gives Strength to a purpose while that purpose lives. Stand like the rock that looks defiant Far o'er the surging seas that lash its form! Composed, determined, watchful, self-reliant, Be master of thyself, and rule the storm! And thou shalt soon behold the bow of peace Span the broad heavens, and the wild tumult cease; And see the billows, with the clouds that meet, Subdued and calm, come crouching to thy feet. W. D. Gallagher. Kentucky, December, 1862.

Gallagher by name — and that he will accompany the "grand army" from Cairo on the march southward. A contemporary well remarks that Gallagher stands a much better chance for a collectorship of some port on the Styx than he does for that of New Orleans.

me home to bring war to the homes of the friends his profligacy had ruined, to force a free people to surrender all their constitutional rights — came home the slave, bought with the gold, and sworn to do the bidding of Abraham Lincoln.

Gallagher, Collector of the port of New Orleans, with his headquarters at Louisville, a native of Ohio, a graduate in the worst school of abolitionism, a protege of Salmon P. Chase, from whom he received his present appointment, has been tolerated in Kentucky for a number of years, though many of his neighbors have been strongly opposed to his remaining among them, on account of his undisguised anti-slaveryism; and he now rewards the generous for bearable of those who had so much to apprehend from him by acts of arrogance and interference to which no one with the impulses of a gentleman, of the spirit of a man, would stoop. Some years ago he was one of the editors of the Courier, (unfortunately for that paper,) from whi
