RY.ACRILDROOD COUNTRY i►Oßi,
BY 119LLIE DOVJYY.
I love my childhood country home
Its laughing streams so clear,
I love its verdant meads to roam,
With brothers, sisters, dear.
I love in morang's balmy breeze
To climb its towering hills;
And from their kitty summits fair,
View mountains, grgres, and rills.
While others walk the crowded streets,
Captives to fashion's whirls,
We'll roam the tlow'ry Tilos so sweet,
The merriest boys and girls.
No other source like blessings give,
As country life bestows, •
Nor makes life hal , so sweet to live,
Or gives such calm repose:
No halls of ut4m earth could yield
The knowledge Nature's taught,
Nor half the truth to man reveal
That sho's through axioms wrought.
Let Nature, then, oar teacher be,
And walk in all her wiytt,,
And when from cares she sea us free,
' Her God we then:shall praise.

—Song of the Sea.
Leaving Liverpool at an early hour
one morning, I crossed the ,river to
IlirkenheciAl, and there took the rail
way train southward. My only com
panion in the carriage I entered was
a gentleman, who with dcg and gun
WWI on his way out some twenty
miles for a few days' sporting. The
gratification of this taste is somewhat
expensive in England, as in addition
to what is used up in time, powder
and shot, and dog-keeping, there is,
as my friend informed me, the mat
ter of 1.4, or about 20 dollars, to be
paid annually for a license. Further
more, unless granted as a very spe
cial favor,:one must pay a considera
ble sum for th© privilege of shooting
over other people'i grounds. Many
of the lairds of Scotland derive more
income in this way from their barren
heaths, than they could by their cul
tivation or pasturage. Apropos of
the occasion, in passing the wood
lands of a park, we chanced to get a
near view of an English pheasant ; a
nird of beautiful form and plumage.
to which.of course, what is called the
pheasant, 'ef our American woods,
his hardly sufficient resemblance to
answer for even a second cousin.
An hour's ride through a beautiful
section of country, brought me to
CHESTER; a place chiefly interesting,
as it retains in so remarkable a de
gree, the character and style of an
ancient English city. Situated upon
eleiated grounds near, the mouth of
the river Dee, it is believed to have
been built and fortifie& by the Ito
mans, and many antlipilt,ies of that
character have been exhumed in the
vicinity.. How long the ancient walls
have stood which still enclose the
city, is somewhat uncertain suffice
it to say that no structure of the kind
in any other 'of the old walled towns
of England, remains so extensive and
perfect; and to all- appearance they
may yet endure for centuries, if- un,
molested by the hand of man. At
the same time, their claim upon the
public mind as a revered specialty is
continually strengthened by the lapse
of years and centuries,:and it is pro
bable that for an indefinite.period in
the future public opinion will con
thine .to place its veto upon their re
moval.
The sutumit, broad enough for an
ample carriage way, affords a fine
promenade of about two miles in ex
tent; the% general height seemed to
me about twenty feat. Doorways
from many adjoiningc - ateient dwell
ings open out upon the wall. The
view afforded of both twin and court-
try is pleasant
,to the beholder.- - It
must be allowed, however, in .this
connection, that circumstances hare
a remarkable tendency to alter cases;
and to a certain - individual who
stood here about 2.26 years ago, the
prospect must-bare been, to say the
least, anything but agreeable. An
inscription upon the l'hcenix Tower
rising a little above the wall, records
the fact that " Here stood. King
Charles on the '...4th September, 1645,
and.saw his army defeated on Row
ton Moor."
Among the ancient tenements of
the city are many queer speciinens
architecture, and in several of the
streets, Water Gate, North Gate, &c ,
the front of the second story of their
buildings is a sort of arcade or cover
ed walk for foot passengers, with
apartments beneath and above it.
This certainly makes them high and
dry, but the shops and dwelling
rooms within I found 'somewhat
darkened by the arrangement ; and
then a necessity exists for descend
ing and ascending at each cross
street. In some of the main thor
oughfares, the carriage-way is sunk
or worn several feet below the origi
nal level,soniewhat like the long trod
den trails of buffalo herds upon the
Western plains. •
The Cathedral of Chester is a ven
erable structure, erected upon the
site of an ancient Saxon Abbey. At
the time I visited it, extensive repairs
in-the way of restoration, were in
progress. The disorder and tumult
occasioned by the operations of
scores of dusty artisans, is certainly
calculated to make one forgetful at
such a time, of the sanctity of a
Church or of a Cathedral; yet even
under such circumstances, the stran
ger does not fail to receive a polite
hint as to the propriety . of uncovex.

Several important lines of railway
centre at Chester; one of these, lead
ing to Holyhead. crosses the Great
Tubular Bridge, which may well
rank among the mechanical wonders
of the world : built by the celebrated
George Stevenson, -and traversing'
•Mentu Straits, it, is 1,500 feet in
length, with but a single , pier and al
lowing ships with the) loftiest masts
to pass under it. The whole weight
of its iron is 11,000 tons, its cost $5,-
000,000; and the labor of 1,800 men
tor 4i sears was requisite forits com
pletion.
Returning to the shores of the
Mersey, , I took passage on board a
tender, which conveys visitors to the
:heat Eastern Steamship, which then
lay, and Trobably Still lies, at anchor
there. , Truly, an immense affair, its
like was never before seen upon the
'wide waters, and; owing to the un
profitable result of the undertaking,
no vessel comparing with it in size,
is likely soon again to be cOnstruct•
ed. The work upon this wonder of
naval constrtiction, was begun in
May, 1854, at the Ship-Yard of Scott
Russel of Llackiva,ll, near Londun,
and ander the direction of giuntriL,
the celebrated engineer of that other
immense failure, the Thomas Trinnbl.
As a basis for the undertaking, the
Eastern Steam Navigation Company
was organized, with a capital of £l,-
200,000, 'a SUM contemplated suffi
cient for the building, not merely of
one, but of several ships of the -Levi
athan order. Calculated for the ac
commodation of 2,000 steerage, and
800 cabin passengers, besides capaci
ty for immense freight, was esti
mated that no less to .1.:200,000
might be realized tiom a - single voy
age, for instance, to Australia. The
great length of the vessel was to Ob
viate irregularities of movement, as
she would ride upon the tops of suc
cessive waves, in the heaviest , gale; .
seasickness was ru!ed. out of the pro
gramme, and the ship, carrying.
enough coal for a long voyage, was
to accomplish about 432 miles per
day. . •
--71tontsuit.
The progress of construction was
necessarily sloW, and 3i years elaps
ed before things were in readiness
for a launch. The builder was near-
ly worn out; Leviathan, as the vesse
was at first nainbti, had already swat
lowed up Soule £6OO 000; stockhold
era became impatient, and
.many
ceased to pay. Lying on the stocks
with her side, instead of her bow,' to
the water, the launch was attended
with nnforescen difficulties, and be
copied about three months' time,
while its cost reached nearly half a
million of - dollars!
Finally resting upon the bosom, of
the Thames, .it -was estimated that
about .Ctoo,ooo more were requisite
for completion; for the lack of which
she lay for a long time, merely on
eihibition, in an unfinished .state.
An effort was made to induce the
British Government to purchase her;
a report with this end in view, ob
tained circulation, that Louis Napo
leon contemplated buying her for
France. Asa...government transport,
it was claimed that an army of 10,-
000 could be dispatched at once up
on her decks to the most remote
British possession ; and if raw re
cruits, there was room to drill them
during the voyage. Her immense
bulk too, in naval warfare, was calcu
lated to carry havoc amid a fleet of
ordinary vessels, with its impetus of
25,000 tons at 18 miles per hour;
such an idea had already been for '
some time discussed in France.
The Great Eastern is built with a
double .frame, constituting a ship
within a ship. With four engines to
work its screws, and four for -its pad
dle wheels, their motive force is rat
ed at 12,000 horse-power; in addi
tion to which the six. mastsare calcu
lated- to spread 6,500 square yards of
canvas. Herl registered burthen s is
18,500 tons; the weight bf her iron
material alone, 10,000 tons. Com
paring dimensions with those of the
only human structure that weather
ed- the Deluge, and estimating the
cubit at 21 inches, we find the-result
as follows. 1 The construction el Na
ah's Ark was directed to be it length
525 feet, width 871 feet, and height
521 feet; while the Great Easte.rn has
the dimensions of 680 feet in length,
83 in breadth and 60 tin height.
Noah's. Ark saved the human race;
the Great Eastern-has rendered its
only important service to the world
in the laying otlthe tlantic Cable.
The last project, T. believe, for her
eniploymeLt, - was, that of carrying
hordes of / Americans across the At
lantic to visit—theLGreat Exposition
of 1867, at Paris. She made but one
trip, however, on this occasionlfrom

One of the main and most prolific
sources of 'litigation in regard to re
covering invurances, is
. the neglect of
the- insunuats, to properly examine
their policies at the time they receive
them from the hands of the insur
ance company or its agent. The Bal
timore Undenoriler says : "Having
confidence in a company or its agents,
and presuming that the companies
make it their business, 'in . the prep
aration of their contracts, to see that
the provisions and specifications are
honorably and equitably drawn, they
quietly stow away in their safes or
desks the documentary evidence of
.0 transaction. We have known
men of a legal turn of mind, and of
strict business habits,pnrsne this un
thinking course ; men who, in other
directions, would scorn the slightest
indications in their conduct of care
4essness or neglect. -
More than this, we can point to
men who cannot tell in what compa
nies either their lives or property are
insured. Aside from any , distinct
recognition of the fa..t that they have
taken such precaution, the most'they
can' say is, that such and such an
agent insured them. The agent is a
personal friend not personally disin
terested in his action, but, of course,
not recreant enough to friendship to
recommend a company that is not
first class. Confiding souls ! How
convenient to forget that though in
surance agents may be no worse than
other people, they are no better ?"

TRITE, WORDS.
The following expresses our senti
ments to a dot. • It is one of the won
ders of the world that it is so, and 'a
greater ono that it is women who take
the lead. Good, refined, worthy wo
men will fawn on the seducer and
cast the seduced into outer darkness:
This is a curious world. A few
months ago one 'B. F. Simmons elop
ed fron St. Paul with a married lady,
both leaving families behind them.
Both were in " good society." Both
were execrated. The other day both
returned. The woman was met with
reproaches and epithets. Old friends
cut her on the streets. A divorce
was demturtled by her aggrieved hus
band. She, was voted an on' cast.
How about' Simmons? Simmons
was a man, you see, and 'that makes
a difference, you know. His wife and
weeping friends welcomed him back
with embraces - the poor misled prod:
igal. His cronies laughed with him
and jostled hiin gaily on his gallantry.
That night he drove around • town
with his family behind dappled grays,
bowing and smiling patronisingly.
Mrs. —, no matter about the name,
the other reprobate—is literally spur
ned and driven from her home by all
wlio knew her, while her paramour
and equal criminal has not even for
a moment lost his business footing,
and is just as much the favorite in
society as ever ; for he is'a man, you
know.
Why is it thus? It is wrong. One
of three things ought to come to pass.
Either a woman's lapse from virtue
ought to be regarded with wore char
ity or else thg man who_ drags her
down ought to be held to an equal
.punishment, or else T;olygamy ought
to be established at once, and Brigh

simply shameful that women should
be punished tet times as severely as

The following is from Prot Ilay
den's-artiele on the Yellowstone, in
the February number of Scribner's.
This article is the second in a series of
"The Wonders of the West*" •
From the river our path led up the
steepliides of,the hill for about one
niile, when we came suddenly and
unexpectedly in fall view of the
springs. This wonder alone, our
whole company agreed, surpassed all
the descriptions which lad been giv
en by former travelers. Indeed, the
Langford party saw nothing of this.
Befpre its arose a high white moun
tain,
looking- precisely like - a frozen
cascexle. It is formed by the calcare
one sediment of the hot springs, pre
cipitated from the water as •it -flows
down the steep. declivities. of the
mountain side. The upper portion
is about ene thousand feet above the
waters of Gardner's River. Tho sur

which have ceased to flow. ,We pitch
ed our camp upon a .greasy terracel
at the base of the principal group of
active springs. Just in the rear of
us 'were a series of reservoirs or bath
ing-pools, rising one above to other,
semicircular in form, with most ele
gantly seolloOd margins composed
of calcareous matter, the sediment
precipitated frorUthe wajer of the
spring. The hill, which is about two
hundred feet high,. presents the ap
pearance of water congealed by froit
as it flows - down 'a rocky declivity.
The deposit is as white as snow, ex

Wender fibres floating in the water,
vibrating with the movement of the
current, and tinireil with various

delicate wool-like masses are un

abundant in all the hot springs of
the- West, and are familiar to the as:
diatoms, Upon a' -kind of terrace
covering an area of two hundred
yards in length and fifteen -in width
are several large springs in a state of
agitation, but with a some what lower
tempera , nre than the boiling-point.
The hottest spring is 172 degs.;., oth
ers are 142, 155, and '156 degs., re

'quite perceptibly; qualitative -an

founders of the best government now

-meat on this truly great man, let us
proceed to inquire something more
of the nature of truth and its desti-
nation. • The first inquiry as to what
is truth, is easily answered ; for - God
has said that He is the Truth. What
ever truth, then, there is in _ the
world,, must come from God. Froni
history even, when in operation we
have found it to be tho strongest:mo

special references here, although it
might be done almost infinitely. As
to power,. we noti ce old superstitious

power will " atria and overturn" and
tumble about the principles of error,

again, to strike a common chord of
the subject. i When wo meet an ene
my, it is well if we can report like
heroic Perry: " We have met the en

All students, ministers, men of all
professions and everybody, should be
earnest seekers after truth, in the
.worldly sense of the word and cinch
more eternally. For a reason,
will admit that in this sense; truth is
he great purifier and polisher of
mind. In operation it may with
some propriety be likened to the
sculptor forming the marble into a
beautifid image of some noble man..
Or to the diamond cutter, cutting
and polishing the rude quartz into a
glittering, sparkling jewel. In the
aggregate of minds, we indeed find
but few jewels, and when.found, they
are none the less precious ‘ for " they
are the lights of the world." If the
conditions of truth were considered
easy, all w• uld no doubt accept,them,
and they are called " the - ways of
pleasantness and the paths of peace:"
But the evil heirt mlgnifies the trial
of the good, and thengh disappoint
ed in the ways of worldly: pleasure;
they greatly fear the process of trib
illation, and are lost in ',the ways of
The trials of those who walk in
the wny of truth are, no doubt., wise
ly designed by the Almighty for
their ultimate happiness. When- all
shall 'accept and follow His plan,
then will - the prediction of Isaiah be
fulfilled : " For the earth shall be
full of the_knowledge of the Lord, as
the waters cover the sea."
There comes a time as sure as the:
progress of events, when the wishes
of God, angels and prophets, are/ to
be exemplified. The angel song -in
t,he air over Bethlehem, of "Peace
On earth and good will to inen," - is
vet to have its fulfillment. Abd that
day-is hastened by the liberty and
education of all the people of earth.
"Truth is all mighty whatevefissail ;
Remember the Jut cause will/always prevail ;

Bow happy, how happy,/if sheltered by Thee.'

There is a r question that cemett down

question Cain asked the Almighty-,
not as 4. question, but as a defence
against itrraigrutnent for his crime. It
was, "Ain Imy brother's, keeper?
In every civilized land ,thrcingliont
the globe, r in every civilized nation
and state and comixinnity,the answer
eomes back to that. question. "You
are your brother's *keeper." It is a .
responsibility that nbne of you can
deny or evade. Every stab t 3 o find

to the question, "Am I thy brother's
keeper?"--, Every jail prison that

answer that the community makes

almost from the Garden , of Eden .11-
The institutions of which we

If God has blessed you with the

the death of the tomb. .
It is the miserable, the stingy, pe
nurious and tight fisted who are free
Irina this evil. If is the largest heart- -
ed, social men who cannot resist the
temptation of a socialglass—the ge

this temp er finds. as it victims. It
assails all classes alike._ You can find
it crouching at the hearth-stones of
the -poor, and it , casts its gloomy
shadows over the marble mantles of
the rich—the most brilliant worship
ing at that shrine through temptation
which they cannot resist, and which
they cannot resist, and - which urges
them - on to a drunkard's 'grave. I
tell Yon, in friends,there is only one
Ray' in which you can resist the
temptation. There is only . °Details
man,.and that is-to touch not, taste
not, handle-tot, the unclean thing.
In the early years of my trituahood,
when I saw a young friend who had :
been traveling the same ' pathivay
with- myself,when I stood by his bed
side and saw his-soul leave his body,
calling-upon God to damn his' soul
in his delirium, I, for one resolved
that I would turn my' back upon .it_
henceforth and forever. It is the true
pathway in privele life, in) public life,
in social life, and in individual life. _
Tun boy who stands on the river
bank, and wonders why all the water
does not run out,Aoes tot know that
it is constantly supplied by small riv
ers,streamlete, and/rills that are ever
flowing in. The /drunkards would,
indeed, be all dead, and the Linter
would run out Of the rivers, were.the
supply cut off. This the children
well naderstand, and see as sure that
the supplies-would continue in the
one case as the other. , "Drunkards,
it is said, are drinking young men
grown up." And . the ranks of these
drinking young men are - constantly
filled up by large boys who have
learned to tiriple and these large boys
are always made out of little boys
who are just beginning to sip the
poisonous draught. Yes, the drnnk
ards Will never be ,dead unless we can
prevent sipping little- boys and tip
tiling larger bpys from filling up the
ranks of drinking young men who
-- grow up into drunkards. And this
merry soldier - did not believe it could
ever be done. He well knew if till
the children and youth of the -land
could be enlisted in the' cause of tem
perance, the drunkards would all die
off with .this generation, and intern
perance with all its 'Woes, would dis
appear. Many believe this -can be
done; at least, that by this method a
vast amount of-good can be effected.

His Spirit which mortifies the old

cepts on the love of God -so certain
and complete as His; no one ever
furnished motives so powerful to ex
cite us to follow its laws; still further
have any Others been from giving a
nerfect example for our direction.-
Jesus -
Christ alone has been able to.
impart a miraculous power to gain
the hearts; that Holy Spiri+ which
draws us to God, and forms the ,pe
culiar character of His religion; that
Spirit, the fruit of His merit arid' in

mediately after His ascension to
