Paupers may be fit for princes, Princes fit for something less. Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket ➢lay beclothe the golden ore Of the humblest thoughts and feelings— Satin ves t s could do no more. There are springs of crystal nectar Ever welling out of stone; There are purple buds and golden, Hidden, crushed and overgrown ; God, who counts by souls, not dresses, Loves and prospers you and me, While he values thrones the highest, But as pebbles of the sea. Man, upraised above his fellows, Oft forgets his fellows then ; Masters, rulers, lords, remember, That your meanest hinds are men— Men by labor, men by feeling, Men by thought, and men by fame, Claiming equal rights to sunshine, In a man's ennobling name. There are foam-embroidered oceans, There are little reed-clad rills; There are feeble, inch-high. saplings, There are cedars on the hills; God, who counts by souls, not stations, Loves and prospers you and me; Fur, to Him, all vain distinctions Are as pebbles in the sea. Toiling hands alone are builders Of the nation's wealth or fame ; Titled laziness is pensioned, Fed and fattened on the same; By the sweat of others' foreheads, Living only to rejoice, While the poor man's outraged freedom Vainly lifteth up its voice. Truth and justice are eternal, Burn with loveliness and light; Secret wrongs shall never prosper, While there is a sunny right; God, whose world-beard voice is singing Boundless love for you and me, Sinks oppression, with its titles, As the pebbles of the sea. *tarn-Erlitr. THE YOSEMITE. BY OLIVE HARPER One night I lay awake in the white moonlight, listening to the awful boom of the Yosemite as it pours its torrent down into the boiling chaldron. I thought I would rise, and in the stillness of the night, when all else was asleep and no other thought or voice to distract, listen alone to the voice of nature as she spoke in the dark, weird shadows and flashing waters of the cataract. I softly rose and dressed and went out on the porch of my little cottage where there is an unobstructed view of the Yose mite Falls and much of the valley. No one who has never been out alone at night there in communication with the thoughts that such a sight gives rise to, can say that they have really seen or felt the grandeur or beauty of the glorious valley. Every tree and shadow, every cliff and rock, and flash of the water, takes a new beauty, and a sort of fascination overpowers one, as they seem to move and change, as though endowed with a supernatural mo tion, and a sort of frightened worship, such as a great upheaval of the earth generates, seems to take possession of the soul and body to such an extent that every pulsa tion of the heart becomos painful, and breath an effort. I sat there overcome with the weird awfulness of the sound and silence, and the nobility of the steadfast crags in the de ceitful light. I was cold, and trembled ; I was cramped, and my neck pained with the strain of holding my head in one posi tion ; and when a twig broke or a cone fell, I would start with a nervous terror; and yet it seemed that I could not have changed my position by so much as a hair's breadth bad my life depended on it; and thus I passed a night that will probably never be equalled in my exrerience again. At last, after almost a year (in seeming) of this tension of nerve, I thought I saw the light of day struggling with the moon beams ; and little by little the silvery rays paled, and a rosy pink and pale yellow be gan to take their place ; and by and by one single ray of sunshine darted across the valley and touched the crag and the top of the Yosemite Fall, and crowned it royally, while all else in the valley was still in the shadow. The sunbeam seemed to be the signal, the magic wand, as it were, to call to con gress thousands of birds, brown-2oated, sweet-voice I warblers, which made the valley throb and pulsate with song. I listened to that rich outburst of praise, and felt as must have felt those who first heard the melodious exultant Fen and the sweet words, "Peace and good will on earth to man ;" and I fancied I could bear in the faintest far-off voices those sweet words on seraph lips, as I sat there drinking in the sublime influences of the calm, still night. the silver moon and the solemn roar of the distant cataract. The great cliffs are so high in this wonderful valley that the sun cannot shine on the eastern side of it until late in the day, and so even the late risers cma see the dewy diamonds that glitter and tremble ou every leaf and blade of grass, and see its silvery sheen on the granite boulders around the cottages; but the birds, after their one melodious outburst of thankfulness for day, hide in their leafy shadows and are silent. The most of the visitors iu the valley start the first morning for a visit to Mir ror Lake, as it only gives a good reflection before the morning breeze has had time to ruffle it. I went with a guide to see this I minute lake, which is indeed a marvel of beauty. It is the fairest spot in the whole valley, mostly because the awful, overpowering grandeur is toned and softened by its re flection in the lake, bordered by a fringe of willows and silvery white sand. Oae, in seeing the softened reflection forgets to look at the tall forbidding bare wall of rock, whose white reflected face only shows beauty and soft loveliness, and I came back from the lake feeling as if I had been favored with a glimpse into fairy land with its enchantments. I made two succeeding visits to this place, and each time saw the same changing yet unchanging picture, the same great cliffs and rocks and trees, yet with other lights and shadows that made them seem ever new. The road to and from Mirror Lake is good, except for about a quarter of a mile, which is rather rocky, but not by any means dangerous, or even unpleasant to ride over ; while with every step some new beauty shows through an opening in the trees or the great perpendicular walls that so shut this valley in from the rest of the world, or the beautiful Merced shows unexpectedly through the trees. It seemed to me that while I rode up toward the lake, that the mountains fol lowed me, that is, that when there the Yosemite Fall was still in front, while Glacier Point was yet above, though it had been the same while at the hotel, two Miles further down the valley. No matter where you went, as long as a trey or turn in the road did not obscure your view, all these points seem to be just as near while )ou are away, and seem to recede into dis tance as you advance. It seems but a short walk from Hutchings' to the Yosemite Fall, yet it takes an hour's horseback ride to reach the foot of it, and so it is all over :he valley. Returning from the lake, I rode close as possible to the Merced River all the way, and watched the swift current and the bright trout darting to and fro, and the rocks at the bottom of the river with delight., for the water is so clear and trans parent that almost every little pebble is visible. After eating a lunch that would have made a martyr of any other woman, I rode to the Bridal Veil Fall, and climbed up close enough to get quite wet from the spray that it showers over the rocks and shrubs and flowers at its feet. The flowers bloom as if in worship for its beauty, and cling to life amidst rocky desolation, like gratitude for the charity that redeems some rugged hearts, and like the spray from the Fall, silently showers blessings. Near the rocky chaldron, where the waters fall in thunderous and everlasting foam, is a large pine forest where are mul titudes of brown-coated mocking birds, whose sweet voices are lifted up in worship and melodious songs of praise, as if they where the choristers in this vast temple of the handiwork of God. When the Bridal Veil rushes like a silvery avalanche over the top of the great, bare granite cliff, and plunges headlong into the huge seething chaldron with a reverberation like a tremendous salvo of artillery, making the cliffs resound with its awful echo, the birds are silent as though that mighty sound was the response of some terrific genii to their songs of praise ; but when the wind sways the water like a misty floating gossamer veil to and fro, and silently sweeps it aside in silvery spray, then, with a wild exultant burst of sweetness never equalled on earth, the birds open their throats and pour forth such thrilling melody that the woods, the very air, the heart and senses all pulsate in unison with the song. The soul seems to — break asunder its earthly moulded bonds and soar on the grateful song to God the Maker, the Mighty Architect of this wondrous temple. The song is not one sweet, but far away, like Angel's choirs in the vaulted Heaven, but near you, around you, in your very soul, you feel as if the birds held you en chanted, and you almost lose consciousness in the overpowering melody. Your heart throbs painfully, and you are strung to highest tension of sublime worship almost insufferable when, with a mighty thunder ing echo the waters again strike the chat dron, and the song of the birds is hushed. Thus it goes on ever, and has, for how loog, the Creator alone knows. Alternate the thunder of the mighty cataract and the melodious pan of the birds. Evenings we spend here generally in plans for the next day, and in pleasant conversation, and relating the day's ad. ventures and mishaps. My third day was planned to be occupied in a trip to the Vernal and Nevada Falls. There was a large party going up, but I took Florry, Mr. Hutchings' little daught er, as my guide, and started on ahead alone; and there seems to be nothing in that valley or that pertained to it, that that child did not know and point out to me with a few quaintly expressed but poetical words of appreciation that seemed singular in so young a child. She is a rare little wild flower, a perfect Mariposa tulip. We kept some distance ahead of all.— The road turns to East and right, after leaving the hotel, and leads along through the trees on the level bottom of the valley for about two miles, and affords a fine chance for a spirited canter if one chooses to ride fast, but unfortunately most of these horses here in the valley have fallen into the sere and yellow leaf of horse-hood, and have left all vain glorious shows many years behind, and look upon traveling as vanity, while going off a lugubrious walk is not only vanity but vexation of spirit also, and they prefer to meditate upon the vicissitudes of life to active occupation. Meditation is a fine occupation as a general rule. I like to meditate, but the majority of people such as wish to visit the Nevada are decidedly opposed to retro spection on the horses' part, and rudely break in upon their recollections of pleasant days of colthood, when grass and oats were plenty, and saddles unthought of, and by the aid of spurs and whips and sundry howls and chirrups urge them into a melancholy trot that seems to almost un joint every several bone in one's body. Whenever the horses commence trotting, there is a chorus of "Oh my's !" "Dear me !" and "Oh, stop my horse Selmo, or I shall be shaken to pieces," and the like ; but Tulip and I only smiled contemptuously, (contemptibly one girl told me afterward), and rode on ahead at an easy rocking gal lop; for didn't I have -Bumblefoot," the best horse in the valley, while Tulip had "Pacing Billy." Mr. Hutchings has exercised much in genuity in giving names to his horses, one being called "Snorting Johnny," another "Calaphina," another 'Scorched nose Jim my," another "Bung-starter l " and so on, for over fifty. Directly we commenced the ascent of the mountain, and went up a steady climb of over twenty five hundred feet, perpen dicular measure. but some two and a half miles of traveling. The trail up that mountain is just wide enough for one horse, no more, and so all ride in single file, and when there is a large party, one can look back and see them following zig zag fashion, part appearing to be going one way and part the other, there are so many turns. The Merced begins, as we mount, to run more rapidly and instead of its usual clear green, it now foams milky white, as if in anger at the obstructions, roars angrily and hisses out resentment. The trail winds up through pines, dog woods, rocks, ferns, manzanita and cedar, and the higher one gets, the louder roars the river. After toiling an hour, Tulip and I reached Register rock, where we rested a while, and then again went on ; but now up an ascent that made it seem as if our horses were climbing a ladder, until at last, one turn reached, the obstructing bushes and trees below us, the whole upper por tion of the valley was before us in one view, and the great Yosemite Fall lies be low us, and we could see the river that rushed over the cliffs and formed it. The sight was absolutely terrific; for below us the Merced was but a white ribbon along the valley, while we could look down a sheer precipice of over two thousand feet. If our horses were to trip and fall, no earthly power could help us, and one would be inevitably dashed to pieces. At first I did not think of this; I was too much oc cupied in looking at and wondering at the sight; but all at once I began to feel dizzy, and nothing but an indomitable will kept me from falling from my horse, but I felt for a few moments as though the end of all things had now come for me. Again we went on, and the trail went up over places that had seemed impossible to surmount but a moment before, and at last, just as it seemed impossible to ever arrive at the end of this tedious journey, tired, dusty and roasted in the hot sun, a turn in the trail, and the dazzling beauty of the Nevada Fall was in sight. I looked for a moment breathless, and I wasn't hot nor tired any longer, but lost in delight at the glorious vision. Think of it ! One vast volume of water rushing over the great wall of rock and dashing down in one continuous sheet, white and dazzling as snow in the sun shine, while clouds of spray flew up to again descend in misty rain glorified by all the colors of the rainbow, while to the right and left verdure covered the rocks and lent its contrast to form still greater beauty. The trail led around and over the solid granite rock that firms this mountain and down again till just below us is in sight the Vernal Fall with its single pure white fluted column of water, which changes from an emerald green to flashing white in less than two yards of distance, as it sweeps over the ledge from the natural basin. Still down, the trail leads to a rustic bridge across the deep gorge worn in the solid rock where the waters of the Merced rush and roar and foam, and dash furious with hands upward towards you on that frail bridge, as if hungry for human life, and you breathe free when once off on the solid rock again. An hour's rest and you are ready to go back again to the hotel, and you have the long ride over, with the addition of greater danger, for the horses are tired, and a single misstep would precipitate you to the valley below. But what a glorious vision stretches out before you. Away down the valley, Great El Captain, bald, bare, and gray, stands captain of all mountains, the Three Brothers, peering over each other's shoulders; the lonely river Winding through the green valley, the Sentinel on the other side ; the thin ribbon of Bridal Veil, the grand Yosemite plunging its misty pointed arrows down one after another into the huge chaidron below, the great North and South Domes, with their glorified reflec tion in the lake make, all together, the wondrous entirety of that vast temple of the Most High, Yosemite valley. Fain would I put off my shoes and walk again bare foot, with head uncovered in this Watery Sinai, in his solemn presence. ~cZcct tsce[lau+ The Year Without a Summer-1816. The last number of Friends' Intelli gencer contains the following curious piece of metereological history furnished by H. J. Moore, of Sandy Spring, Maryland : "Few persons now living can remember it, but it was the coldest ever known throughout Europe or America. Follow ing is a brief extract of the weather dur ing the year : "January was mild, so much as to ren der fires almost needless in parlors. De cember previous was very cold. "February was not very cold; with the exception of a few days, it was mild like its predecessor. "March was cold and boisterous during the first part of it; the remainder was mild. A great freshet in the Ohio and Kentucky rivers caused great loss of property. 'April began warm, but grew colder as the mouth advanced, and ended in snow and ice, with a temperature nine like win• ter than spring. "May was more remarkable for frowns than smiles. Buds and flowers were frozen, ice formed halt' an inch thick, corn was killed and the fields were again and again planted until deemed too late. "June was the coldest ever known in this latitude. Frost, ins and snow were common. Almost every green thing was killed. Fruit was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of ten inches in Vermont, seven inches in Maine and three in Central New York, and also in Massa chusetts. Considerable damage was done at New Orleans in consequence of the rapid rise in the river; the suburbs were covered with water, and the roads were only passable in boats. "July was accompanied by frost and ice. On the sth, ice was formed of the thick ness of common window glass throughout New England, New York and some parts of Pennsylvania. Indian corn was nearly all destroyed; some favorably situated fields escaped. This was true of some of the hill farms of Massachusetts. "August was more cheerless if possible than the summer months already passed. Ice was formed half an inch thick; Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part was cut down and dried for fodder. Al most every green thing was destroyed, both in this country and Europe. Papers published in England stated that it would be remembered by that present generation that the year 1816 was a year in which there was no summer. Very little corn ripened in New England and the Middle States ; farmers supplied themselves from the corn produced in 1815 for the seed of the spring of 1817. It sold at from $4 to $5 per bushel. "September furnished about two weeks of the mildest weather of the season. Soon after the middle it became very cold and frosty, and ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. •October produced more than its share of cold weather, frost and ice particularly. "November was cold and blustering.— Enough snow fell to make good sleighing. "December was quite mild and c3mfor table. "The above is a brief summary of tfie 'cold summer of 1816,' as it was called, in order to distinguish it from the cold season. The winter was mild. Frost and ice were common in every month of the year. Very little vegetation matured in the Eastern and Middle States. The sun's rays seem ed to be destitute of heat through the sum mer; all nature seemed to be clad in a sable hue, and men exhibited no little anxiety concerning the future of this life." Two friends were dining together, one of whom remarked, "As I am going abroad I have made my will and have bequeath ed to you my whole stock of impudence." The other replied, "You are generous as well as kind; you have bequeathed to me by far the largest portion of your whole estate." How the Weather is Foretold. In former times, the chief herald of the weather was the almanac, which ambitious ly prophesied a whole year of cold and heat, wet and dry, dividing up the kinds of weather quite impartially, if not always correctly. But the almanac, good as it was now and then, and the weather-wise farmers, correct as sometimes they might have been, were not always able to impart exact infor mation to the country; and they have been thrown quite into the shale of late, by one who is popularly known under the somewhat disrespectful title of "Old Prob," or "Old Probabilities." He has become the Herald of the Weather to the sailor, near the rocky,dangerous coasts ; so the farmer, watthing his crops, and waiting for good days to store them ; to the traveler, anx ious to pursue his journey under fair skies ; and to the girls and boys who want to know, before they start to the woods for a pie-nic, what are the 'probabilities" as to rain. Every one who reads the daily paper is familiar with the "Weather Record," is sued from the "War Department, office of the Chief Signal Officer," at Washington. These reports give, first, a general state• ment of what the weather has been, for the past twenty-four hours, all over the country, from Maine to California, and from the Lakes to the South Atlantic States; and then the "Probabilities," or "Indications," for the next twenty-four hours, over this same broad territory. The annual reports of the Chief Signal Officer show that he in only compartively few ia stances do these daily predictions fail of fulfillment. The reason the prophecies are so true is a simple and yet wonderful one. The weath er itself tells the observer what it is going to do, some time in advance, and the tele graph sends the news all over the country, from the central signal office at Washing ton. We shall see, presently, how the weath er interprets itself to "Old Probabilities." Although it has proved such a fruitful subject of discourse in all ages, yet I am afraid many people who pass remarks upon it, do not really think what the weather is made oF. Let us examine its different ele ments. The atmosphere has weight, just as water or any other fluid, although it seems to be perfectly bodiless. We must compre. bend that the transparent, invisible air is pressing toward the center of the earth. This pressure varies according to the state of the weather, and the changes are indi cated by an instrument called a barometer. Generally speaking, the falling of the mercury in the tube of the barometer indicates rain, and its rise heralds clear weather. Sometimes the rise is followed by cold winds, frost and iee. What these changes really indicate, however, can be determined only by comparing the barome tric changes, at certain hours, in a number of places very far apart. This is done by the Signal Service. Observations are made at about one hundred and forty stations, in the different portions of the country, at given hours, and the results are telegraphed at ones to Washington, where our faithful "weather clerk" re ceives them, reasoning out from them the "probabilities" which he publishes three times in every twenty four hours. But the atmosphere varies not only in weight, but also in temperature. The thermometer tells us of such changes. Besides this, the air contains a great amount of moisture, and it shows as much variation in this characteristic as in the others. For the purpose of making known the changes in the moisture of the atmos phere, an instrument has been invented called a "wet bulb" thermometer. We are thus enabled to ascertain the weight or pressure, the temperature, and the wetness of the air, and now it only remains for us to measure the force, and point out the direction of the wind. This is done by the familiar weather vane and the anemometer is an instrument which indicates the velocity of the wind. It is by a right understanding of all these instruments that the signal service officer is enabled to tell what the weather says of itself; fur they are the pens with which the weather writes out the facts from which the officer makes up his re ports for the benefit of all concerned. Thus, however wildly and blindly the storm may seem to come, it sends messen gers telling just where it arose, what course it will take, and how far it will extend. But it tells its secrets to those only who pay strict attention.—St. Nicho las. Rain, The first water,---how much it m,ans Seven-tenths of man himself is water. Seven-tenths of the human race rained down but yesterday ! It is much more probable that Ca3sar will flow out of a bung-hole than that any part of his re mains will ever stop one. Our life is indeed a vapor, a breath, a little moisture condensed upon the pane. We carry our selves as in a phial. Cleave the flesh, and how quickly we spill out ! Man begins as a fish, and he swims in a sea of vital fluids as long as his life lasts. His first food is milk; so is his last and all between. He can taste and assimilate and absorb noth ing but liquids. The same is true through. out all organic nature. 'Tis water-power that makes every wheel move. Without this great solvent, there is no life. I admire immensely this line of Walt Whit man : "The slumbering and liquid trees." The tree and its fruit are like a sponge which the rains have filled Through them and through all living bodies there goes on commerce of vital growth. tiny vessels, fleets and succession of fleets, laden with material bound for distant shores, to build up,and repair,and physically restore the waste of the frame. Then the rain means relaxation; the tension in Nature and in all her creatures is lessened. The trees drop their leaves, or let go their fruit. The tree itself will fall in a still, damp day, when but yester day it withstood a gale of wind. A moist south wind penetrates even the mind and makes its grasp less tenacious. It ought to take less to kill a man o❑ a rainy day than on a clear day. The direct support of the sun is withdrawn ; life is under a cloud ; a masculine mood gives pace to somethinr , like a feriiinine. In this sense, rain is the grief, the weeping of Nature, the relief of a burdened or agonized heart. But tears from Nature's eyelids are always remedial and prepare the way for brighter purer skies.— Scribner.

THIRTEEN HUNDRED MILES OF RAIL IN A SINGLE SYSTEM-OOMFORTABLE AND EXPEDITIOUS ROUTES TO THE WEST AND SOUTH-WEST-RAMBLES BY RAIL FOR TOURIST AND TRAVELER. In choosing a route to the West or South west the intending traveler seeks three things. First, the lowest rates oommensu rate with speed and safety ; second the best accommodations in the way of comfort and courtesy ; third, the most perfect connec tions. so as to save annoyance and expense of either money or time. No route from Pittsburgh westward combines these in such perfection as the PITTSBURGH, CIN• CINNATI AND ST. LOUIS RAILWAY, pop ularly known as the "Pan Handle Route." It is direct, traversing the moste densely populated portions of Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois and Kentucky, reaching either by di rect or connecting lines every city and town of any magnitude between Lake Michigan and the Ohio river, and south to New Orleans or intermediate points over the Louisville and Great Southern Rail way, thoroughly equipped with Parlor, Day and Sleeping Coaches, and as far be yond the Mississippi as American enter prise has pushed its way. At St. Louis it has depot and terminal facilities second to no other railway, and crossing the Father of Waters here the Western traveler be gins his journey through lowa, Missouri, Kansas or to Texas. At Indianapolis no less than ten diverging lines carry him to all points of the compass. At Richmond, Ind., he goes North or South, beingassnr ed of the most favorable rates and every comfort and luxury known to modern trav el. At Columbus you strike into the Union Depot with its ten connecting lines. At Cincinnati, at Louisville, at Zanesville, at Steubenville it is the same—branches unite you with close connections leading to every point. This road has gained undis puted pre-eminence as the great trunk line and fast mail route between all the cities of the East and of the South west by means of its perfect connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad, its management have zealously labored to perfect, in all respects, its construction, its equipment, and its working efficiency. No road west of the Allegheny mountains is better built —none offers superior inducements to travelers, and none can show greater ex pedition or certainty of trains. The appli ances fur safety and comfort on this route are well known to observers of American railway progress, and even upon the con tinent the fame of the "Pan Handle Route" is known and appreciated. This Company issues excursion tickets to all the popular health and pleasure re• sorts of the West. The beautiful Chartiers Valley is dotted with comfortable homes, and parties wishing to locate there will find the most healthful and picturesque sites at very low prices. The Norwoo.l Springs Hotel at Bridgeville, has large and cool rooms, broad piazzas and an excellent cuisine. The splendid surroundings and beautiful location of Idlewood, a charmed spot were grasses grow and birds sing, where broad leaves quiver to the breeze and wild flowers scent the air. At Yellow Springs station we have the Neff House Park, where there are no mosquitoes and no fevers, and you sleep under blankets in August; where the far-famed and cele brated mineral springs bubble np with appetising quality to the dyspeptic—and blood making properties for the rheumatic and consumptive. At Dayton, Ohio, is the National Soldiers' Home, thought by many to be the loveliest spot in America, a famous summer lounging place for visitors from the world over. All along this route in every direction are shady nooks and rocky fastness, bubbling fount ains and all the treasures of nature's wild woods. Under inspiration of the heated term some "sweet singer" warbles thus : For there no torn mosquito bare, Invoke our abject scorning, No Hies would buzz and can and fiisz And wake us in the morning. 0 where's the human would not live Where lire the Eskymoze— Where prickly heat is ne'er known, And everything is froze? _And while the "Pan - Handle" has no direct connection with the Land of the Esquicnaux, yet all along its line are cool spots where "prickly heat is never known and everything is frox.," so to speak. But there are considerations weightier with many than a mere excursion for pleasure or health. There be many who would seek in the far west new homes, and others whose business requires them to make frequent trips to the West. The Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Rood offers spec.al advantages to this class of passengers. By taking this line you avoid annoying omnibus transfers, as all changes of cars are made in five Union Depots at Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indian apolis atad St. Lot.i;, where tempting meals await the traveler. As its lines extend through to Cincinnati, Louisville, Nash ville, Montgomery, New Orleans, Indian apolis, St. Louis and Chicago, it affords unequalled facilities. Elegant sleeping and drawing room coaches run from Pitts buruh to Columbus, Cincinnati, New Or leans, St. Louis and Louisville; and from Columbus to Chicago and New Orleans.— Accommodations are furnished for family parties going West, who wish to avoid ex pense, in the shape of second class tickets, 200 pounds of baggage being allowed eaeh passenger. Second class passengers are provided with comfortable cars and for warded by express trains. It is obviously of advantage to families moving West to select the route by which fewest changes of cars are made, thus avoiding the dis comforts of frequent transfers between de pots in large cities. For full and reliable information, time-cards, route-books and excursion rates, apply to agents at depots of this line or its connections, or by letter to W. L O'Brien, General Passenger Agent, Columbus, Ohio. HABIT grows on a man until he acts with the regularity of a machine. Thus, when a youth meets his prospective father in-law on the street and, invited to take something, orders mineral water for effect, he invariably turns towards the clove-box and takes a chaw just as if it was Deeded. SOME folks affect to belive that the one hundred ton guns now being made are en tirely too large for effective use. To properly understand this subject the opin ion of the little bey whose best top cord had just been stolen by some unscrupulous profligate should be taken. A weapon ten times the size would be no more than enough to gratify his rage and take proper vengeance on the soulless scoundrel. To WORSUIP is to a woman always sweet er than to be worshipped.
