THE BATTLE OF LIFE.
BT HO!f. LEONARD MYERS.
A sigh steals down the smiling valley a
gentle sigli of breezes, wafting liappiueaa over
the face of nature, and at the sound, from out
their beds of earth myriads of things of
beautv wake into existence; meadow and plain
and hill-side glisten in fairest verdure flowers
iling their fragrance on the gale stately trees
wave their foliage to the passing wind while
Streams beuoath dance onward to the ocean
and the dream-like hum that fill the air and
swells in chorus to the arch of heaven tells of
the blooming Spring of the transcendent
pleasures of Life.
What a glorious earth has man for a habita
tion ! what scenes surround him to ennoble
the soul what example to elevate and incite
the mind to strive for the goat of Happiness t
That goal, alas ! how diataut and hard to
reach; thorns hedge the road the aspiring one
would tread, and weeds spring rank and
choking in the pathway, or often, when the
Beeming height is won, the eminence fades to
a common level, and Happiness is as distant
as ever I But the soul must toil, though suc
cess is but a vision the mind must work,
although its labors be fruitless; for there is a
Higher power controlling the actions of man
guiding his impulses ana passions, and girding
him for the conflict around him and within
Lim the struggle that is ceaselessly waging
the Battle of Life !
llow sweet is Fame I Even now, upon men's
tongues there dwells some name whose every
syllable is a charm, thrilling to adoration.
Here, a patriot spirit, whose fires have smoul
dered long beneath wrong and malice, rises
Euperior to ills, and grasps almost the con
summation of his wishes; there, a warrior
from the laurelled field receives the homage of
a grateful people; or some philosopher, with
potent wand, discloses to a wondering world
a new discovery in Science. They stand aloft
upon the pinnaole of Fortune, and eager
crowds beneath echo their praises or envy
their success; and upward still they gaze,
blind to the rugged crags that lie between
Hind to the slippery height they covet blind
to the thousands round them on the same
great plain, breathless and bleeding from their
vain attempts to climb the dazzling steep or
happy in an humbler sphere.
Ah 1 had they seen that lofty mind on the
chill yesterday of Adversity, with naught but
obstacles before him; who knew that Country
was upon men's lips only as a substitute for
Belf, and yet heard his own efforts slandered
as false and recreant, and whoso high purppses
had bent before the storm only to rise un
broken they would not undergo the patriot
trials, even for his rewards. The soldier's
hardships in the camp, with night's cold
shadows closing round him, and no pillow for
his head save the still colder earth; or 'mid
the battle's carnage, or on the ensanguined
field, strewn alike with friends and foes, would
look not half so pleasant to their eyes as that
exulting warrior; or had they watched the
Student through long years of vain research,
onng o'er musty tomes till the stars paled
fore tne light of day, with fevered brow and
aching heart, filled with strong hopes that
time still dashed to earth though Time at
last was destined to" fulfill; the marvels
wrought thus dearly, thus hardly given to the
world, the car with wings of fire, the thought,
home as on the lightning's shaft, the shadow
that no longer vanishes, when won at such a
cost, would lose their value, and the philoso
pher stand unenvied though preeminent.
Men judge too oft, by outward show, the
glitter hides the dross which lies beneath, the
peasant would seek happiness in palaces, the
rich, perchance, see pleasures 'mid the poor;
all err, all causelessly despond, for place nor
circumstance alone can make life happy; there
is no lake with breast by winds unruffled, no
sea by billows always unconvulsed even so is
it with man. How many noble minds are
cTushed beneath adversity, and pulses that
erewhile- warmed with a kindred glow to
kindred energies, throb now to sorrow and
bereavement I How many hearts that loved
loved, oh I how fondly 1 are doomed, alas 1 to
live, and live alone I How many breathing
beings toil and travail on to gain wherewith
they may drag out existence how many lots
that look the brightest are fraught with bit
terest woe 1
And still the strife goes on, still the throng
heaves and swells tumultuously, as waves
that surge against the rocks which bind them,
and one unceasing current flows turbulently
onward, bearing with it the joys and sorrows,
the hopes and passions of a world onward
ever, to the trackless ocean of Hternity.
Hut fields are green and flowers are fair
there is no warfare on the hills, nor in the
groves, nor on the plains; the elements break
in fearful grandeur above; the Beasons come
and go yet sunshine follows storms as day
the night, and winter yields to spring. No
murmur is heard, save that which trembles
through the air, of rippling streams and stir
ring loaves, and songs of sweetest music; and
the works of Nature stand forth in majestio
harmony, unmoved by the strivings around
them, regardless alike of the fear3 and long
ings, the griefs and tumults raging in the
breasts of men serene and placid, despite the
contest, and at Peace, through amid the throes
of The liattle of Lite.
A Convef satfon with Hon. li. B. Wash
burn. From the Boston Commonwealth.
It was Die pleasure of several of the personal and
political irleudsoi Hon. FJ B. Washburn, of Illinois,
to meet blui in social Intercourse, Hie i ast week, in
this city. Mr. Washburn has lately returned from
Europe, whither be went prior to the late special
eesslou of Congress to recruit his health, which
tiad become considerably Impaired. He represented
himself as now In very good physical condition, and
that his journey bad been one of great satisfaction to
himself. , . .
Mr, Washburn, as Is generally well known, has
lately been in Washington, and of course conliuued
his intimate association with General Grant, whose
abilities, it Is understood by the country, he was the
lirst to discern, while be was foremost and earliest
In securing for him proper rank and position in the
uatlonal army, and since the war has been bis "near,
est Irlend," If that term mav be allowed in connec
tion with so sell-reliant a personage as the General,
We violate no confidence, we thliilt, in mentioning
Mr. Wasnburu's estimate of bis vrottye at the present
time. '
Mr. Washburn regards General Grant as wholly In
sympathy with Congress, and its plan of reconstruc
tion. To the particular Inquiry of one of our Sena
tors, Mr. Washburn replied tuat he considered him
notoulyln favor of thorough reconstruction, as the
advanced men understand it, but In favor ol standing
' by the blacks in all their civil , social, and political
rights, as conferred by the 11 construction Acts He
was lu constant consultation with (Secretary Btantou,
Mr.WaBliburn auirws. in regard to the lately Impend
ing change In the Cabinet, receiving notice from
Wanton. Just before he went out, mat Vis dhjinlntal
would soou take place, and was urged by him to ac
cept the place. Not only '.was mm the case," said
Mr. WasUurn. but I know that th. letters front
Grant to both the President and the Secrutary were
written by Grant himseir. upon co.suhallon with and
tn lull knowledge of Mr. bianion " Mr. Washburn
further remarked that he should have deemed It a
criminal negligence in Geneial Orant not to have
accepted the Place under the circumstances: and that
It Is now his duty to remain until the uieeiiug ef Con
gress, even though the President may wut to get rid
General Orant, Mr. Wathhurn further represented

of the country as anyuian emild be. H had re
marked that, when in the war, he was comparatively
easy about the result; he knew what was lo bathe
and, and made ills preparations accordingly. u,lt
now he was filled with alarm; heconld not foretell
what would transpire from day to day, and such

He did not now that Grant would be retained in
the Ca1 Inet ten days longer, but whether or not, the
country could rest assured that he was with it, and
that It would, sooner or later, recognize In him a fast
and valued (ilcnd.
As the final remnrk of this conversation, Mr. Wash
burn said tiiBt the confidence reposed In (Ion. nil
Grant wns not misplaced; and that nil loyal men
could stnnd up for him without hesitancy, or the
shadow of a doubt.

The New Ulackfiiars Bridge across the
Thames.
the East River bridge enterprise elves addi
tionul interest to tbu lollowlnir, account of the
now liluektrutrs Bridge over Ihe Tunnies, which
wc copy from the London Times:
"As the works conucctei with Hlankfriirs
Bridge flowlv advance, it is tonn 1 thittTthc very
ciiuces which hastened the decay ot the old
btructure are precisely those which are hinder
ing the completion of the new. It was the
gradual alteration in the depth, of the bed of the
river which destroyed tbe old bridge. The rush
on its centre and southern piers was too much
for the weak foundation which upheld them,
and though the structure did stand more than a
century, nearly half this period was pased iu
sinking blowly, but surely, into a state of hope
less dilapidation and decay. In epite of all tbe
exp.'hsivc remedies applied, notliiutr .could re
ptore it, and, in fact, it was allowed' to stand
long after it was dangerous for public truffle.
"To understand the way ia which these piers
nre built, and, IndeeJ, most bridge piers are
built nowadays, may uot be uninteresting. In
almost every sort of great engineering, archi
tectural or nautical undertaking, wood has given
place to Iron. Wooden cotler-diims for piers ot
bridges would be as much out of place now as
wooden sailing ships or mail boats. Wrought
irou caisons tor this purpose of bridge building
are a purely English invention, though the
name is French, The piers of New Blackfriars
Biidge are each one hundred and ten feet long
by twenty-two feet wide. Instead of building
these by the slow, and therefore expensive,
method of damming out the river by a cotrer
dam of piles, they are constructed by means of
wroughl-iron caissons, six caissons being; re
quired for each pier. These caissons are
rtmplv square wrought-iron tube, open at both
cuds, and strengthened inside with iron girders
to resist the pressure ot the water. They ate
sunk on end in a row exactly the length of the
pier and on the spot where the pier is to be
built. There are valves in them which allow
the tide water to enter and leave ireely as it
fulls and rises, and so in a few days the great
weight of the caisson all -resting on its lower
edge sinks it deep into all the river mud, gene
rally down to the water's surface, where it will
go no further.
"Another rim or tube of wrought iron is then
bolted on to the op of the caisson, and the
girders round the inside of this weighted with
iron ballast tn the amount tf about 'one hun
dred tons, and this generally takes it some ten
feet or twelve feet deeper. At all event, as
long as the caisson continues to sink, other
rims are bolted to it, and other weights added
till it will go no luriher. In this state it is
generally suffered to remain a week or so,
when the last weights which the iron will bear
arc added, and this final test generally sinks it
a few inches deeper. All then is secure, for by
that time-the end of the tube is as deep as it
will go into the London clay, and far below
the bed of ihe river. What has to be done then
is very simple. The water is pumped out ot tne
tube by a Pteam-pump iu a lew hours, and its
lower ena oeing periecuy sealed Dy its penetra
tation into the soil, keeps it perfectly dry. The
mud and oozu which it has enclosed. are dredged
out down to the clay, aud when thi is reached
and levelled the work, of building the founda
tion is commenced some fifty feet below the sur
face of the Thames, but still in open daylight
and in a perlectly dry and afe chamber.
"The loundatious arc laid in tbe hardest
brick, set in concrete, and thus built, the piers
are solid from end to end up to within six feet
ot dead low water. Here the massive courses
of granite commence iu huge blocks weighing
fioin twelve to fifteen tons each, and these are
continued up to the height Irom which the iron
work of the arches springs.
The caissons nave been weighted to tne
utmost they will bear with safety, aud the sink
ing goes on, but in such an uncertain and
erratic manner as clearly shows the rotten and
uusa:e nature of the soil through which they
are passiug. Thus, tor days they may remain
immovable, or only sink an Inch or so, while
very recently they went down thirteen inches
in a single night. Of course, until they have
taken their bearings, as it is called, and will go
no luriher, nothing can be done, lor to pump
tbe caisson out with its lower end still insecure
would be only inviting such a rush of water be
neath it as would agaiu double the labor to be
gone through to clear it.
"Notwithstanding the depth of water in the
calston, the divers, to the number of five, are
daily at work in it, dredging out the interior of
the tube, and fending immense quantities of soil
to thefurfacc. Their reports all tend to 6how
that tbe bottom of the tube is very near the
clay, and that a few feet more of penetration
will make its lower end perfectly water-tight.
In the meantime other portions of the works are
carried on with all the speed that is possible.
"While removing one of the Surrey piers two
foundation stones of black slate were brought to
light. One of them is evidently a stone that was
laid with all pomp and ceremoaial, while
tbe other aud smaller one found near it was as
evidently stowed away on the same day, but
prior to the ceremonial, by some master work
man, who loon advantage 01 nis opportunity to
band down his name to posterity. The clear cut
inscription on the first says:
"On the 23d dav ot June, ITr.l, In The first year of
the relgu or King George Til, the tir t stone of this
the first pier was laid by Sir Hubert Ladbroka, Knt.,
and presld nt of the lioir rable committee for carry
ing this bridge into execution. Itobert Mylne, archi
tect; JoBeph Dixon, niasou.'
"The second stone says:
"On tlieiid day of June, 1701,'ln the first year of
the relgu or iving ueorge in, tue urst stone ol this
pier was laid by Joseph Dixon, master mason to this
uriuge.-
"It is more than probable that the last men
tioned stone was really that which was first
laid."
Koman Antiquities.
While making excavations ia the Roman
cemeterv at Lillcbourn, in France, M. l'Abbe
Cochet iound twelve or fifteen sepulchres, in
which were forty-five class and earthen vase.
In the same locality M. Cochet also discovered a
preen glass cup, wnicb presents a bas-reuet ol a
combat of gladiators. The names of the cele
brities of the public parties were inscribed upon
the borders of the cup. Tbis rare curiosity was
broken, so that there could be recognized only
tbe names of Petrahes aud Prodes, notorious
eladintors of the time of Nero, whose names
have been found written upon the wulls of Pom
peii. Goblets ol this kind may be seen In the
museum at Vienna, Austria, and have been
found in rJavoy. In Kerry, and in Kent. Enelaud
