Oh,,there is a power to make each hour
As sweet , as hehren - designed it ;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found us;
For life hath here no charms eo dear
As home and friends around us!
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes—and praise them ;
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If wed but stoop . to raise them ;
For things afar still sweeter are
When youth's brightspell has bound us;
But soon we're taught that earth has
naught
Like home and friends around us
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hope's last reed is shaken,
To show us still, that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken ;
Though all were night—if but the light

From the - Groot Plains.
Hop the Union Pacific Bail Road
is built.
An intelligent correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette has written a very
interesting letter, showing the manner
in which this last wonder of the century
is - being completed. He says :
-There is nothing connected with the
Unless Pacific Railroad that is not
wonderful. The possibility of constrwt
ing such a road at some future day has
fang loomed up as one of the events Of a
grander future' w.hich all believed was
to come for the land. To look upon so
much of it adcomplished; to watch the
marvelous progress of each day, and
feel sure that the great enterprise which
we had consigned to the future of our
dreams, is to be a reality for us, makes
one prouder of the noble days in which
we live. In one sense - the road is as
great an achievement as the war, and as
grand a triumph to those who have seen
rich of the former and looked from this
point upon the unfoldings of the latter,
they appear equally impressive What
the country has dreamed about for many
years is becoming a reality much faster
than the people know. One year ago,
but forty miles were finished ; this morn
ing, we look back from our train over , a
day's rapid run, and forward sixty miles.
To-night, three additional miles of rail
will mark the day's advance.
" Our party left the depot at Omaha
at 9 o'clock on the morning of the 3rd
tilt. The sation-house, and the common
passenger cars, were better than those
on the road from Washington to New
York ; those who have been so unfortu
nate as to make the fatter trip will all
hope they are very much better, if the
love of country be in their .
hearts.
"The train, which was made up for
the excursionists, consisted of cars as
elegant as any that can be found east of
the Missouri. It was very difficult to
look at them and realize that before
night they would , be roaring along over
, lains from which hostile Indians, deer
and antelope have not been driven yet.
VALLEY OF THE PLATTE
"Long before the valley is reached, it
spreads before the eye like a vast bay
opening out into au ocean, whither the
track appears to lead. It is forty miles
from the low, rolling hills on the north,
to the opposite and similar range on
the south. Between, the surface is
almost perfectly flat, though its regular
ascent toward the -west, of about ten
feet to the mile, gives ample drainage.
The soil is very rich, and the mind falters
in its attempt 0138th:este the future of
such a valley, or its immense capabili
ties. The grain fields of Europe are
mere garden-patchee beside the-green
oceans which roll. from Colorado to
Indiana. The valley widens with the
advance. The hills behind sink into the
plain until the horizon there is perfect.
Those : . on either side grown fainter, till
through the heated air they-take on the
appearance of low , islands seen across
many miles of water.
" Much of the land at the month of
the valley is under cultivation, and the
deep black of the freshly turned loam,
the dark green of the wheat, the lighter
grass, the deeper shades, and the brown .
of that which the fires of the autumn
spared, make np the wide expanse a
mosaic which nature alone could color,
end the prairies only-find room to 'dis
play. Further on, huge plows, drawn
by 'eight oxen, iaboreti* - slowly along,
- each furrow being an added ripple to
the tide which is sweeping over these
rich regions—a tide whose' ebb . the
youngest will never know.
"After a rapid run of 1 . 50 miles, we
stopped for an excellent dinner at Grand
Island. ,

A FRONTIER CITY.
"Crossing the North Platte, on
bridge about three thousand feet long,
the train soon stopped at Ncirth Platte
Station. which can propably, for a time,
be regarded. as a frontier town. Last
fall there was no building here. Now
the Railroad Company have fine brick
car-houses, there is a good hotel, where
excellent fare is provided, and on the
main street fronting the track are thir
ty-six buildings. The depot and ware
houses are overflowing with stores of
all kinds.
Within twenty miles of the end Of
the track a few'of the party rode on the
caw-catcher. It seemed marvelous to
drive on at twenty miles an hour over
rails that had only been down for‘ten
days. But the perfection with which
the work is done allows it, and makes it
safe. It was exhilarating in the extreme
thus under the flags which streamed on
either side, to rush over these prairies
so lately bound with links °lkon to the
_
empire of the East..
"Three hundred'and twenty-five miles
oat, a construction train of eighty cars
stood on a side track. It was loaded
with iron, ties, spikes and chains, in
exactly such proportions as were needed.
It looked the very embodiment of sys
tem, and was one key to the rapidity
with which the work progresses. A
little farther on stood a similar train,
and next we stopped in the rear of the
one where the tracklayers resided. Sev
enty-six hours swift riding had brought
us to this goal. The bills of Colorado
were in plain sight. San Francisco was
nearer than Boston.
" The road has been a constant won
der from the start. Its depots, its car
shops, its equipment, its remarkable
smoothness, its high rate of speed,- its
long bridges, and its well-ordered eating
houses, bad attracted constant attention
to it as a railroad alone.
" Every step - trod revealed new won
ders. .The great achievement grew
upward toward its real froportione with
every throb of the engine. But all we
saw was commonplace and natural be
side the scene that awaited us where
the track was being laid. If the rest
had excited amazement, this new wonder
took all the attributes of magic. Fic
tions of the East must be're written to
match the realities of this West.
BOW THE ROAD TB BUILT.
"The plain fact will reveal the mag.
nitude of the work. There is really
little known by the people of the char
acter of the enterprise. Mott think
that a company of capitalists are hastily
putting down -a rude track, over which
cars can he moved with care, for the
purpose of securing rands and money
from the Government. The fact is that
one of the most complete roads of which
the country can tweet, with equipments
that surpass many, is being laid with a
speed that tails to impress the nation,
simply because it is not believed. But
let the facts tell their plain yet wonder
ful story. '
" General J. S. and D. C. Casement,
of Ohio, grade the road, lay the track,
and put up the telegraph. The graders
go' first.' There are two thousand of
them: Their advance is near the - Beach
Bills, and their work is Chine to Jules
burgh '
"Of the tie.getters and wood-choppers
there are 1,500. Their axes are resound
ing in the Black Hills, over Laramie
Plains, and in the passes of the Rocky
Mountains. They have 100,000 ties in
these hills awaiting safeguards for trains
to haul them. Then follow the tie lay
ere carefully performing their share of
the work.
"Now go back twenty Miles on the
road and look at the inn:lei:lse canetruc
tion trains loaded with• ties'and rails,
and all things needed for-the work. It
is like the grand reserve of an army.
VOL. XIII.-NO. 48.
takes on a load of rails, about forty, with
the proper proportion of spikes and
chairs, making a load, when the horses
are started off on a full gallop for the
trook-layers. On each side of these
trucks are rollers to facilitate raining
off the iron.
"The rails within reach, parties of
five men stand on either side. One in
the rear throws a rail upon the rollers
three in advance seize it, and run out
with it to the proper distance. The
chairs have, meantime, been set under
the last rails placed. The two men in
the rear, with a single awing, force the
end of - the rail into the chair, and the
chief of the squad calls out 'Down,' in a
tone that equals the 'Forward' to an
army. Every thirty seconds there came
that brave 'Down; 'Down,' on either
side the track. They were the pendulum
beats of a mighty era ; they marked the
time of the march and its regulation,
step. '
"If` it is asked : 'How does the work
get on?' again let the facts answer.
On the 9th of May, 1666, but forty miles
of road were completed. In a hundred
and eighty-two working days thereafter,
two hundred and forty five additional
miles
,were laid, and put in prime con
diti in, every rail and tie and spike
having been brought up from the rear.
Seven saw mills furnish the ties and
lumber. All bridges are framed, the
pieces numbered, an 3 set up where
wanted Without the least delay. The
bridge at Loup Fork is 1,500 feet long
and as fine a Howe truss ae can be found
in the laud. While our train was run
ning the sixty miles from North Platte,
over a mile of track had been put down,
and one train passed over it. From
one o'clock till four in the afternoon, a
mile and two hundred feet were added
to this while the party was looking on.
WRSTERN CAR suers.
" After the return of the party to
Omaha, it visited the extensive shops
of the railroad company at that point.
".The depot grounds, upon which they
are situated, contain forty acres, special•
ly devoted to these buildings, and to
passenger and freight traffic. Within
five years it is estimated that the whole
of this space will be needed for the
business of the road.
" The engine house will hold twenty
one locomotives. There are two others
further West. Thirty-two engines are
already in use on this road, whose ter
minus is in the •dese:t,' and twenty three
more are on the way, and already want
ed. Those last constructed are coal
burners.- The fuel to move ihem is to
come from the Black Hills. In a few
years it is confidentlyexpected that the
iron to supply thee° very works will
be obtained from the same point.—
Think of importing iron for Omaha from
the West.
" Passenger cars are in process of
construction equal to the best. Emi
grant cars were being built, and the
frames of an hundred freight cats were
ready to be put together. Several
traveling post-office care are already
finished. For stations on the route,
the distributing boxes will be - marked
North Platte,' Fort Laramie; 'Salt
Lake,"Sacramento,' and 'San Francisco,'
while the closed pouches, at no distant
day, will be labeled 'China, Through,'
' India, Official,' Sandwich Islands,'
'Russian 4merica,' and 'Japan.' And
the cars are built as if the' service were
already secure. Every particle of work'
in all the multifarious kinds demanded,
shows implicit faith in a future of grand
proportions for the road."
up The New Glascow (Nova Scotia)
Chronicle says that two frogs were found
a few days ago deeply imbeded in the
Acadia coal mile. One of them was
killed, unfortunately, by the fall of
coal: They were found in a small cavity
filled with water, in the centre of the
coal seam, 160 feet beneath the surface , .
The living , animal is small sized, per
