A Glorious' Laud.
Our Country!—'tis a glorious land!
With broad arms stretched to every shore ;
The proud Pacific chafes her strand,
She hears the dttrk. Atlantic roar.
And nur.urcd on her ample breast,
How many a goodly prospect lies
In Nature's wildest, grandest dress,
Enameled with her loveliest dyes.
Rich prairies deek'd with flowers of gold,
Litre sunlit oceans roll afar;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold,
Reflecting clear each trembling star;
And mighty rivers mountain born,
Go sweeping onward, dark and deep,
Through forests where the bounding fawn
Beneath their sheltering branches leap.

And cradled 'mid her clustering hills,
Sweet vales in dream-like be:udy hide,
Where love the air with music fills,
And calm content and peace abide;
For plenty here her fullness pours,
In rich profusion o'er the land,
And sent to seize her gen'rous store,
There prowls no tyrant's hireling band.
Great God! we thank thee for this home—
This bounteous birth-land of the free,
Where wand'rers from afar may come,
And breathe the air of liberty!
Still may her Hewers. untrampled spring,

Gctorge Williams Childs.
Mr Childs was born in Baltimore, iu
the year 1829. At the age of fourteen
he went to Philadelphia, and entered it
book-store as shop-boy. After remain
ing iu this store four years his ambition
took a wider scope and he began business
for himself in a little office in the Ledger
Building, iu fact oa the very spot now
occupied by the desk of his cashier, No
sooner had he entered upon this new
enterprise than he bethought himself
that he would like to own the Ledger.—
The wish iu this case was father to the
determination, and the young man, just
starting in business with but a few hun
dred dollars, determined that he would
' some day own the Ledger." worth its
hundreds of thousands. How well he
kept this resolve in view, and labored
zealously and steadfastly for its full exe
cution, will he fully apparent as we fol
low him step by step in his career.
Iu 1849, before he had _attained his
majority, Mr. Childs became a member
of the publishing firm of R. E. Peterson
& Co., afterwards more widely known as
Childs& Peterson- The books published
by this firm were all very successful,
both in point of merit and popularity.—
" Peterson's Familiar Science," " Dr.
Kane's Arctic Exploration," " First
Grinnell Arctic Exploration," " Brazil
and the Brazillians," " Bouvier's Law
Dictionary," " Sharswood's Blackstone's
Commentaries," "Familiar Astronomy,"
and Allibone's "Dictionary of Authors,"
were publislyJd by this firm. All these
pablicat'lns were mo , t valuable additions
3 the literature of the day, and the ma
parity of them are now standard works.
In ISJ.J, Mr. Peterson retired from
the firm, and Mr, Childs, after a short
business coo nection with the firm of J.
B. Lippincott & Co., commenced business
by himself' at Na 628 and 630 Chestnut
street. He soon attracted public attrac
tion to his merits as a publisher by the
admirable manner in which he pushed
into popularity " Parson Brownlow's
Book," a work without any intrinsic
merit beyond the fact that it was written
by a fugitive from Tennessee, who had
lost all in his d.yvotion to the Union. In
1863, Mr. Childs purchased the Publish
er's Circular and American Literary
Gazette, an almost defunct New York
publication. Under his judicious man
agement this publication soon took the
first rank in American periodical litera
ture, and is now the recognized organ of
the publishing interest, both iu this
country and Europe. In the same man
ner,also, Mr. Childs revived the Ameri
can Almanac, which had died out for
want of support. Securing the services
of William V. McKean,Esq., of that city,
as editor, he changed the name to the
National Almanac, and in two years of
its resuscitation it reached a sale of thirty
thousand copies. As a precise and com
pendious hand-book of the resources and
statistics of the United States, the
National Almanac is without a rival in
the country. The latest publication of
Mr. Childs is the ". Illustrated history of
the Civil War," by Benson J. Lossing,
in two volumes, the first of which has
just been published, and reflects alike
great credit upon the publisher and
author.
I=
We come now to speak of the accom
plishment of Mr,'Ghilds' ambition—an
ambition which labored seventeen sears
for its a ccomplishment—namely, the
ownership of the Ledger. In December,
1564, his hopes were realized, and Geo.
W. Childs became sole owner and pro
prietor of the riddle Ledger. Of course

popular and influential paper as the Ledger
was a matter of more than ordinary
interest to our citizens, and excited great
curiosity as to the policy to be pursued
by the proprietor. Mr. Childs was not
long, however, in convincing the people
that the Ledger, which had always been
considered a marvel of a newspaper was
susceptible of improv:ment. Enlarging
I the Editorial corps, he adds several
valuable departments to the paper, and
made its editorials even wore vigorous
and able than they had hitherto been. In
order that nothing in the paper should
have the least immoral tendency, he
rigidly excluded from its columns all ad
vertisements of that nature, much to the
gratification of the community. The
Dollar _Are tesjurper he invigorated with
new life. Changing its name to the
Philadelphia home 11 - eekly, he engaged
for its columns all the best writers in the '
country, and made it a first-class family 1 1
journal and household newspaper. Not
content with making all Jae improve
ments of which the Ledger was suscepti
ble, Mr. Childs is now having ereeted,on
the corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets,
a splendid brown stone building, five
stories high, the ground-plan of which
covers a lot eighty-four by one hundred
and seventy-five feet. This building
which is intended for the Ledger, will
cost five hundred thousand dollars, and, I
when finished, will he the largest print
ing-house in the world.
It now remains for us to attempt some
description of this gentleman,who,coming
to Philadelphia some twelve years ago,
without friends or capital, has become
one of our most prominent and wealthy
citzens. Mr. Childs is now but thirty
seven years of age, although he looks
much younger,having,by total abstinence
from all liquors, tea, and coffee, and to
bacco, retained the fresh and ruddy com
plexion of youth. He has a fine open
and pleasing countenance, full of frank
ness and good humor. To his friends
his manner is hearty and cordial; to his
enemies—we do nut know that he has
any. His temperament is sanguine. In
stature he is slightly below the medium
height, but well proportioned. His dress
is scrupulously neat, always indicating
the perfect gentleman, and, by avoiding
the extremes of fashion, suggesting no
vanity or foppishness about the man. In
his intercourse with his fellow 111C12 he is
very generous; sometimes, we think,
almost too much so. Within the past
few mouths we have seen evidences of
his unostentatious charity which, were
they known, would put to the blush the
so called philanthropy of many of our
el a itable men. To public char:ties his
his purpose has always been open, and
daring his whole life he has devoted one
tenth of his income to charitable objects.
To his friends he is more than steadfast,
and will go any distance to serve them
or advance their interests; and to those
in his employ he is especially kind and
considerate,always recognizing merit and
substantially rewarding those whose
services are faithful. In summing up
his character we would say that Mr.
Childs has ambition, generosity, and
business abilities more happily blend than
it is customary to see in our public men.
He is evidently a firm believer in the
motto : "Live and let live." Such a man
can never fail to make every man his
friend, and to secure the good, wishes of
all. It is no wonder, then, that he has
been suecessful,and so early in life 'oaken
ja leading position among the "self-made
men" and moral heroes of our country.
—Saturday Night.
Au Elopemen t.
There was great excitement in Can
nelton, Indiana; last Sunday. Miss Mat
tie E. Connett and Mr. Pleasant Manroe,
both of Pell City, Indiana, had eloped
thither, but were followed by the indig
nant father of the young lady,who sought
to prevent the marriage. The twain,
however, bad resolved to become one—
They wandered abut in search of a cler
gyman who would tie the knot, followed
by the father and a large crowd which
had been gathered by the noise of the
altercation between them. Finally the
couple entered a friend's house, whence
the father was now excluded ; but he
still waited without, determined that
they should not emerge without his see•
ing them. Their forlorn hope in this ex
tremity was a ruse,which succeeded per
fectly. A friend sallied forth dressed in
the young lady's attire, surrounded by
other friends, and ran up the street., fol
lowed by the father and the crowd.—
Then the young lady came forth dressed
in male attire, and afterwards came the
bridegroom ; they reached a place ap
pointed and were soon married.
[WHOLE NUMBER 1,9027•
The Modern Heroine.
The change which has come over the
romantic dreams of the short story
writer has been slow but insiduous.—
The heroine, whose stateliness we loved,
has become arch, vivacious, and witty to
a painful degree. Instead of thrilling
us with that melaneholly glance which
was supposed to express, in some crthc.
dos manner, "the yearnings of a poetic
soul," she now transfixes us with EA.,,
casm. Instead of those conversations
magnificent in hyperbole and lofty sent,
meat, we have uow badinage that bc.
comes almost hysterical in its intensity. —
Her hand no longer sinks on her lover's
manly breast, as she "whispers sweet
consent,"—"a sudden expression almost
of pain"—"a cold rigidity of the small
rigidity of the small lips"—"a mocking,.
but silvery laugh," is all that thehaishfpl ,
lover may look for. Not butttiO.::i.,lfs,
has sentiment, but it is of a sinkiiiir;
4 ,3
plexing and exasperating q#l4-41.,:,
has a way of looking at youc;i4h stratigif
dumb eyes"—her glance is -"trancelike,"
and "far off"—she is "sibylline';" "fate
ful." She is no longer beautiful, but
"singular looking." .It may be easily
imagined that a heroine of this order
would not be satisfied with that one de
voted lover which in former times was
her predestined partner. She loves two
or three times engaged. She is justified
by a philosophy borrowed from our lively
gallie friends. She has all the benefit 3
of those "extenuating circumstances"
which _French poetical justice admits
equally as its literature and law. The
modern short-story gives us details,where
formerly we had mere glittering general
ities. The dress of our heroine is de
scribed with feminine precision; the
writer no longer trusts to white muslin
and "simple rose-buds" for the hair. In
the matter of accomplishments the same
I care is displayed. Our heroine no longer
allows her fingers to run carelessly over
the piano while she listens to her lover's
conversation; she deliberately sits down
to Chopin or Schubert. We are forced
to listen to an enthusiastic criticism of
"Beethoven, choral symphony, op. 125,"
or a duo in E flat. We are crushed with
her knowledge of botany; the "simple
rosebud" her lover presents it technically
considered; it is no longer pulled to pieces
in bashful meditation—she "removes its
petals." In the more pretentious short
story, see generally has a profession—
painter, musician, sculptor, governess,
doctor.
Sorghum Sugar.
Much importance is attributed by some
of the western papers to a new invention
by which sorghum molasses is almost in
stantly converted in to sugar. The syrup
is driven off by eenttifugal power and
granulation effected. The St. Louis
Democrat speculates upon the results as
follows:
This discovery must, of course, work a
considerable change in the saccharine
trade of tU country. Sorghum flourishes
pretty mu-,.11 in all the States and terri
tories of the Union. Wherever corn
grows it may be made to grow, and
farmers, through this simple process,will
now be enabled to supply themselves
with all they need iu the way of sweets.
As the machinery is by no means costly
we presume the improvement will gener
ally he made available.
Sugar must become cheaper and its
consumption greatly increased. Fruits
large and small, which now, on account
of the cost of saccharine matter, arc
greatly wasted, will be preserved to a
much greater extent, and healthy and
invigorating food thereby secured. This
invention may he considered as one of
the greatest of the age, remarkable as the
present era is for its utilitarian applica
tion of scientific discoveries and princi
ples. The forces employed are without
cost, and require no education to fovern
and direct them. After the molasses is
prepared in the usual way, which every
one comprehends, the turning of a crank
completes the process, and consummates
the entire work most perfectly. No
heatin is necessary, no evaportion or deli
cate manipulation or chemical mixtures.
The cold sorghum is converted in two or
three minutes into refined sugar and mo
lasses.
SING ur.Art.—We learn that on Thurs-
day last, a lady of Henrico county, who
had boon sick for some time, died to all
appearances ; but that sine.) then her
body has been very warm and large drops
of perspiration have continued to ooze
from her whole person. Physicians who
have examined her can discdver no pulse,
and in every other respect, save the per
spiration and warmth of her skin, she
seems to be dead. This is a very singu
lar ease, though we understand that it is
not unusual for the bodies of deceased
persons to remain warm for several hours
after breath has left them.—Richmond
