A Weary Life it is lu have Xo
Murk tu do.
Ho I ye who at the anvil toil,
And strike the sounding blow,
Where Tout the burninr Irta's breast
The epi ks fly to tn fro,
Whl e answering to U. hammer's ring,
And fire's inUnaer glow
Oh, while we feel 'lis hard to toil
And aweat the long day through,
Remember it is hsrder still
To have no woik to dot
Hoi ye who till tht stubborn soil,
Whose bard hands g tide the plow,
Who bend ben a h the Summer sun,
With burning ehtek and brow
Ye deem the curse still dings to earth
From old n tim- till now
But whi'e ye fVel 'tis hard to toil
And labor all day through,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work to do I
Ho I ye who plow the sea's blue field's
Who ride the restless wave.
Beneath whose ga'lant vessel's keel
There lies yawing grave.
Around whos birk the wlntery winds
Like fieni!s of fury rave
On, while ye feel is hard to toil '
And labor long hours through, '
Remember it is I arder still
To have no work to do.
Hoi ye upon whose fervred cheeks
The hectic glow is bright ;
Whose mental toil wears o it the day
And half the weary night;
Who hhor for the souls of men, '
Champions of trut and right
Although ye feel your toil is hard,
Even with his g'orious view,
Pemember It Is hirder still
To have no work to do.
all who labor all who strive
Ye wield a lofty power j
Do with your might, do with your strength,
Fill every go'den hour ;
The glorious privilege, to do,
Is mail's most noble dower.
Oh, to your birthright and yotrselves,
To your own souls be true 1
A weary, wretched life is their's
Who hive no work to do I

people of San Sebastin. lie says the luue
varies iu those provinces, and propose,
in ,a couple of months, to give me the
change as t ey are to be found in the.r
dHerent towns, that the matter m.v he
judged of and fairly understood. Our
national air certainly has it origin in the
music of the free ryrenees; the first

Danza H-puna as it was pliyed to me of

Kossuth informed u that the Hungari
ans with him in this country first heard
Yankee Double on the Missis-ippi River,
when they immedintely recognized it a
one of the old national airs of their native
laud one played in the Janes of that
country and they bewail immediate y to
caper and dance as 'hey used to in Hun

should be found iu old B acay.

RoaraT Fultcn. Among a thou
sand indiw luals, you inijht readily point
out Robert F lion, lie was con-picuous
f..r his gentlemanly bearing; and freedom
from embarrassment ; for hi extreme ac
tivity ; his bight somewhat over six feet;
his fcl -nder, yet energetic form, and well
a con in xiated dress; for his full and cur
ly brown hair, carelessly scattered "ver
hi forehead and falling round about his
n-ck. Ill complexion was fair; hi
eyes dark, aid large, and penrating,
an I revolving in a cxpicinus orbii of cav
ernous depth; his brow was thick, and
evinc d rength and determination ; his
n was long and prominent ; his mouth
and lips were beautifully proportioned
giving the impress of eloquent utterance,
equally as his eyes displayed, according
t phrenology a pictorial talent and the
benevolent flections."

The Ion; lookod-for and long prayed
for Millennium, has at last burst upon ihe
world. Continents so long severed by
the upheaving of the ocean, have bean
united. The race has been wedded in
ootids of universal Brotherhood. Al
ready have the President and the Queen,
been whi-pering to each other ; while the
hearts of both nations pulsate in mutual
congratulations.
The laying of the Submarine Cable, is
doubtless the most 'sublime achievement
of the nineteenth century. It is not sim
ply wonderful, but it is practical and use
ful. It w ill do much good, perhaps the
greatest good in working out the great
problem of the well being of the race.
By its use, man will be brought in close
contact with hi fellows; individuals and
nations will under.tutid each other better,
and hence peace and good-will must be
the result. Inten ommunication of thought
and sentiment, will assimilate and fuse the
jaring elements of earth, and cause man
to respect that great principle of right,
which will iftiite men in the bonds of uni
versal Brotherhood.
The nations of the earth, will be able
to bit in their own legislative halls, and do
business with each other. Parliament
will need no longer the services of Lord
Nupier, in this country. Congress can
di..jwne with Lady" Dallas, as Minis.
; r to her Majesty. The Press will no
longer wait with breathless anxiety, for the
arrival of the expected Steamer, light
ning out-wind steam as well as wind.
The pn ctical uses of electricity in con.
veyin;' thought, we cannot begin to con
ceive. We ore prepared, for almost any.
thing. The tyinpathay and contact of
mind with mind, either dead or living,
through the medium of this subtle fluid,
we dure not pronounce an impossibility.
Thought so long dormant, in darkness, is
diving as well as soaring. The region of
the star, the bowels of the earth, the
depths of the ocean, and the innneaf ure
able range of invisible realities, have all
opened up their, heretofore, hidden recess,
ses, to this march of mind. Let science go
on, let thought be as free, as the breezes
of heaven; we fear not its result. We
denounce nothing that we have not inves

of the M. & M. Road. Mr. Farnam
arrived in our city on Thurday evening,

arrangement for constructing the road
west of Iowa City. The greatest neces

a thn rapidity with which the Lyons road
is being pushed ahead renders it oblige

something immediately, if they wish not
to be distanced by the enterprising men

On Wednesday evening, the 18th, wt
bad placed on our table by Col. Osborne
full files of St. Louis tapers of the 16th,
embracing the Evening News of that

in about fifty hours. They came of course
by the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad.
There is now only about twelve hours'
staging between this city and Hannibal,
making this many hours the quickest
route to at. Louis and the Last The
travel of this road is already very consid

The Dalles," a word which occurs so
frequently in the news from Oregon, is a
name criven to a narrow passage on the
Columbia river, some fifty miles above
the Cascades, where the stream passes
between immense walls of basaltic rock,
only three hundred feet asunder. The
name, which ia pronounced as if written
dolls, tnetns "slab; and was (riven,
doubtless, by early French trappers, as
descriptive of the remarkable masses of
basalt, which are not dissimilar to flag
stones set upon end, and cemented to
gether. The commerce of Lake Erie this sea
son, thus far exceeds that of any previous
year, and it is believed that the close of
navigation will show an increase of at
east one-third in the flour and ifrain re
ceipts over those of any former year.
