Yet ever to lie done nnew !
Oh. cares which come vi;h every Min,
Morn alter morn. the Ionr yean? Ihronch!
'e shrank beneath their paltry sway-T
The irksome calls ol every day.
The restless sense of wasted power.
The tiresome round of little things,
Are hard to bear, sis hour by hour

Who shall evade or who shall delay
The finall demands of every day?
Tin boulder in the torrent's course

And yields iis substance rrain by grain;
So crumble strongest lives away
Beneath :be wear of every day.
Who finds the loin it) his lair.

May wound them ere they are aware.
Or conquer them in desjiemie sirile,
Yet powerless he to scathe or slay
The vexing gnuls of every day.
The steady sirain that never stops
Is mightier than the fiercest shock;
The constant tall of water-drops
Will groove the adamantine, lock;
We feel our noblest powers decay,

We rise to meet a heavy blow
Our souls a sudden bravery fills
But we endure not always so
The diop by drojt of little ills;
We still dejdore and sliil obey,
The hard behests ol every day.
The heart which boldly faces death
Upon the battle held, and dares

T!io Pacific c.Yjircss train on tlie
Pan Handle railroad left the Col
umbus depot, on Kriday evening
last, under 1 1st cliargo of conduc tor
Prury. Xothintj transjiitvd to dis
turb the monotony of the conduc
tor's call drowsy on asscnuers for
"lit-kcts, ercnllcmcn," until the
train was between Dennison and
Steuben vi!!e. I lien lie was notified
that a lady passenger desired his
jwescnee. lie found the lady evi
dently in much trouble and embar
rassment. To his allirma'.ive re
sponse to the finery whether he
was married. "the lady stated that
she was on her way from Cincin
nati to meet, her husband in New
York, ami that a crisis was impend
in ir, involving the appearance of an
additional passenger. This startled
the conductor, of course, but. with
a heart biy as an elephant he set
to work to make the lady comfort
able. All the passengers were
haslilv shullled into another car,
and such female assistance as could
be procured on the train was
brought inlo requisition. In a
briet time the little stnner a fine
bouncing srirl is the phrase put in
an appearance, and the conductor
congratulated himself on his happy
escape from a dilemma. "Willi a
heart overwhelming " with sympa
thy, he arranged an impromptu
Wardrobe for the very youni; lady
from his own underclothincx. It was
not exactly in style of those "in-fant-out
fits" ,k1 vcrtised in the New
York papers, yet it served a ood
purpose.
IJut this is not all. The train
left Steubenv'ille on time, and was
soon thundering through and
around the hills of West Virginia,
when the conductor received an
other shock. This time it was "a
fine bounein Loy." Twins, by
jove ! One a IJuckeye and the other
a Pan-Handler. The remainder of
Drury's linen went to start the lit
tle fellow on his journey through
the world. Then for fear of what
might happen, the train was hur
ried ; in tlue time it reached Pitts
burg and the lady and the two
unlicketed passengers were tender
ly conveyed to comfortable quar
ters at the Union Depot hotel, when
a telegram was forwarded to the
husband in New York, which prob
ably lifted him out of his boots.
At last advices the mother and
children were doing well.
The twins certainly commenced
life under extraordinary circum
stances. Porn on a fast-going Pa
cific train, the one in Ohio and the
other in West Virginia, it is safe
to promise they will, be reasonably
fast young people. The mother is
represented as a most estimable
lady, but not given to the stud- of
almanacs.
A man should not be ashamed
to own he has been in the wrong,
which is but saying, in other words,
that he is wiser to-day than he was
yesterday.
The Northern Pacific Hailroad.
From the X Y. Tribune of October 2Uli.
It is announced that by the mid
dle of November this road will be
completed to the Missouri lliver,
452 miles west of Duluth. This
will be an addition of 200 miles to
the i astern section since spring.
Trains have been running dai'lv
between Duluth ami Pcd I'iver
since April last, and new rolling
stock is ready to equip the exten
sion. On th Pacific side, in Washing
ton Territory, a section of 25 miles
has been for some time in opera
lion. Forty miles more of tract
will be completed before the close
of the season. Addit.'r the com
pleted portion on th; Pacific side
to the eastern section, it gives a
total ot5! 7 miles of tract laid in
little more than two years from
the commencement of the work.
When the delays encountered the
first year in making the surveys
and deciding on the best line are
considered, t he.result is marvellous,
and attests the energy with which
the work is pushed forward.
Pesides the actual construction,
the work of surveying and locating
the entire leiigt h across the conti
nent has proceeded with vigor.
The exploring parties have fought
a few scattering Indians, but have
carried their surveys successfully
to the Yellowstone. The portion
of the road now in operation has
a large and increasing local iraHie.
It intersects the Pcd Piver at
JMoorhead, and from Olydon, elev
en miles east of lied Piver, a new
railroad is being const rnctcd. north
ward down the valley to Pembina,
where it will meet and join a line
soon to be built southward from
Port Garry. It commands the
eastern-bound freight and travel o!
the Prilish set t lenient s in Manit oba,
and also of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany. It will alo be the outlet of
a large portion of the grain grown
in western Minnesota.
When the contracts for this sea
son are completed, the company
will have a permanent business in
the great tr.-tllic of the Upper Mis
souri Piver, wit hall the govern
ment transportation of the North
west. A few mi!, s beyond the
point where the rail way st tikes the
Missouri, the river bends to the
westward, and is navigable for
steamboats for 1,000 miles ol' water
way from the railroad crossing to
Foil lienlon, at the foot of the
Pocky Mountains, in Western Mon
tana. Nearly forty steamers have been
employed during a single season
in the trade o these upper waters.
In April next, at the opening of
navigation, there will be direct
communication east, and west by
rail and river, from Lake Superior,
in longitude 02 degrees, to the pop
ulous districts in Western Montana,
in longitude 110 degrees. From
this point westwatd it is about four
hundred miles thlntigh the passes
of the Pocky Mountains to that
portion of the Columbia Piver
whence it is navigable to the Pa
cific. The finished sections of the road
entitle the company to about Ten
Millions acres of land, granted by
the government, constituting an
area about twice the extent ol New
Jersey. Ten million contiguous
acres belonging to the government
are at the same time rendered hab
itable and saleable. The lands are
situated on either side of I he line,
and principally consist of excellent
farming land, with the productive
soil characteristic of much of the
prairie region. The company has
already begun the cancellation of
its seven-thirty fir-t mortgage
bonds by the proceeds of its sales
of land, and is accomp'ishing its
great wotk with success ami econ
omy. There is a prospect of a large
emigration of the tenant farmer
class from England in the spring.
One colony alone, recently formed
there, through its pioneer agents
secured a track in Clay county,
Minnesota, of 185,000 ac res direct
ly on the line of railway. The
intended settlement is to be named
Yeovil, alter a town in the West of
England, whence the majority of
the colonists will come.
The bureau having in charge the
Land Department of the road has
built and furnished convenient reception-houses
for the free accomo
dation of intending setthrs and
their families while engaged in se
lecting their farms. One of these
is at Duluth, another al Praim-rd,
where the road crosses the Missis
sippi, and a third al Glydon, iuihe
lied Piver Valley. Emigrants
used to trundle with their ox-carts
over forlorn and desolate prairies,
and bivouac where the night found
them. It is quite different now.
They are carried in comfort to the
verv sites of their future homes
and" the organization of the system
is such that they ate protected
from imposition or spoliation from
the time they leave their old homes
across the water till they begin the
foundation of their new ones under
the sunset. Every able-bodied and
industrious man and woman who
comes hither makes the nation
richer and contributes to the gener
al prosperity, and in this view
the condition and prospects of the
road are a source of legitimate
congratulation. Arrangements are
making for pushing construction
east and west during 1S73.
Oregon
Agriculturally Con&idcren.
To us there does not exist a
doubt but Oregon will take the
lead, on this coast, in agricult ami
pursuits when the size of the State
is taken into consideration. The
climate is different in Eastern,
I Western and Southern Otegon, ad
mitting of a great variety of pro
ductions, for a hat cannot be grown

to drouths and, excepting on the
lowlands, crops cannot be looked
for with certainty but then, if we
are correctly informed, a large
proportion can be irrigated, and
heavy crops made the certain re

Our Presidents.
A sharp Presidential contest is
now ended, ami it may be in
teresting to look oyer the past, and
inquire into the social standing of
former Presielents.
George Washington belonged
oy inrtli to the famous class of
'V irginia gentlemen." His family
ranked amemg the aristocracy, be
tng ceinnecteel wilh the gentry of
England. He began life as a sur
veyor, but gained wealth ami po
sition by a marriage with Mrs.
Custis, a wealthy aiiel aecomnlish-
eel wielow. A story is told of
his later years, that a no of Virgin-
tan or quality, wheim lie hail re
proved, re torted sharply. I shonhl
like to know. George Washington,
what you wouhl have been if you
lutein t marrieel the widow Custis."
Washtugtein smiled, because the
man was poor ami unfortunate', but
he rarely aihiweel such liberties.
John Aehims was a lawyer, and
the seu of a farmer and shoemaker,
of a family that, has been settled in
Massachusetts for seven genera
tions. 1 he Adamses are one of
the few American families entitleel
te be called historical. They have
won a national reputation Ibr bril
liant tah nts.foi eminent services in
politie s, and law and literature, ami
statesmanship, ami also lor wealth,
without, which no family can long
be kept uj). Nei othe r family can
compare with them in the number
and rank of public ofliccs they
have- filled; in ancient Pome the-y
would have been calleel a Consular
family. The-y are the Adamses of
Quine-y, and in France Charlvs
Francis Alams would bej calle-d
M. ele Quiney. Quiney is an ohl
French, or rather a Norman name,
anil appears in the' Peill of Battle
Abbey. It has only a territorial
relation tei the Adamses. The
name belongs properly to another
great American family elescetided
from an ancestor who was in the
battle of Hastings, .. D. 1000.
Thomas Je'ffe-rseiu was a lawyer,
and his family lie-Id a good, but not
high social rank in Virginia. His
attention was attracted tei public
life by the struggle between the
Colonies ami Englaml, ending in
the Pe-vo!ution, and he made for
hinise If a great name in history as
a h'gislat or, an author, a diplo
matist and a politic. d leader.
James Madison was. the son of
a wealthy Virginia planter, and
was e'due-ated lor a lawyer. lie
was a hard student, but having en
tered public life very early, never
returned tt his profession.
James Monroe was also the son
of a Virginia planter, and eelucat
ed for the' bar, like Mr. Maelison.
Put the public troubles drew him
into political life i.n early youth,
and he serve-el with hemeir in the
army and in civil pursuits. He
had a large experience in politics,
and a thorough training in states
manship. John Quiney Aelams was the
e-hb st sem of John Adams ami a
lawyer; but his life was devoted
to public service, with a few inter
ludes given to literary pursuits.
He was eelucated for statesman
ship by his parents, ami had a
larger and more varicel experience
in public life than any other Presi
dent. Andrew Jackson came from a
poeir Southern family, ami began
the practice of law at inanhooel.
He was afterward a-judge, a mer
chant, a planter and a soldier, and
served in both Houses of Congress
before he was made President.
The father of Martin Van Pu
re n was teio poor to give his son
an eelue-ation bat t he energy of the
young man forced his way to the
bar, and he became an aeknowl-eelge-d
leader amemg lawyers.
Win. Henry Harrison was the
third sem of Pe-njatnin Harrison,
a Virginia planter, and one of the
signers of lhe Declarat ion eif In
dependence. He entered the army
early but had also important trusts
in eivil life-.
John Tyler was the son of an
e-mine-nt Virginian, a man of large
wealth, who hail lillcel many high
ofiices.
James K". Polk was the son of a
ivspee-tab!e farmer, ami was eelu-e-ated
as a lawyer.

wa Col. Pie-hard Taylor, who won
distinction in t he Pevolut ion, ami
emigrated to Kentucky seen after
his sou's birth. The son's life, after
leaving the plantation, was spent
in the- army until his election to the
Pi eside-ne-y.
-Millard Fill more was of humble
origin, and serve-el five years as an
apprentice to a fulhr's traele. He
was se-lt educated, became a l.w-ye-r,
and seion won distinction in
public life.
Franklin Pierce was the son of
Ge-n. Benjamin Pierce- a Iievolu-
I tionarv otlice-r of reputation, ami a
Ahraham Lincoln was born of
very poor parents, and so were
Ami few Johnson and Ulysses S.
Grant, and so was Horace Greeley,
who was a candidate for the Prcs
ielency. All our Presidents have had a
high social rank, some of them
born to it, and others attaining it
by the profession of law or arms
Ybtttis Companion.
Tioz Tails.
The following essay on dogs was
wrilte-n by a small Nesv England
boy this Summer:
As this is the tail of a dog, it
may lie inferred that every dog has
a tail, and that every tail has a dog.
I have seen a dog's tail run over
two feet, but the tale of a dog can
run any length, and two feet always
ran uneler the tail. As every log
has its tail and every tail its dog,
sej also has every tail its wag ami
every wag its tale; a dog ran wag
his tail one flay out of two. but a
wag can tell his tale eight days out
of the week, making a total elifiVr
ence between the wag of a tail ami
the tale of a wag of two elavs sev
en wags and a tail. Mr. Shak
speare (late of England) says that
every deig has his day, but it can
also be said that every day has its
log, so that we have day-dogs and
elog-ilays ehg-ilays are twenty
four hours long without the tail, but
lay-dog's and watch-elogs run t
any length if they are neit chained.
A watch-elog em land is the same as
watch-dog on boanl ship; but they
are entirely different frenn dogging
a man's watch ami watching a
man's el og! I have often seen star
fish, but I never heard of a star-ehig,
although astronomers h say that
there is. a dog star, and that by
falling down over a elog you can
see stars; but this double visieni
decs not effect the measurement of
a deig; he contains just eight feet,
twei lore ami two hind. There are
many ways in which this dog's tail
could be drawn out, but a good
healthy dog's tail shonhl not be
over six inches long.
A Nor.i.K Youth Who Couldn't
Drink Wine. There was a noble
youth who, on being urged to
take a glass of wine at the tab'e
ef a famous statesman in Wash
ington, hail the moral courage; to
refuse. He was a poor young man,
just beginning the struggles of life.
He brought letters to the great
statesman, who kindly invited him
home to dinner.
"Not take a glass of wine?" said
the great statesman, in wonder
ment ami sin prise.
Neit eine single glass of wine.-'
cchoeel the statesman's beautiful
and fascinating wife, as she arose,
glass in hand, and, with a grace
that wouhl have charmed an an
chorite, endeavored to impress it
upon him.
"No," sa'ul the heroic youth,
resolutely, gently repelling the
preiflereel glass.
What a picture of moral grand
eur was that! A poor, friemlless
youth refusing wine at the table of
a wealthy and famous statesman,

Men Who Win Women. God
has se made the sexes that women,
like children, cling to men lean
iipem them as though they were
superior in mind and body. They
make them the suns of their sys
tems, and their children revolve
around them. Men are gods, if
thy but knew it, ami women burn
incense at I lu-ir shrines. Women,
therefore who have gooel minds
ami pure hearts want men tei lean
upon. Think of their reverencing
a drunkard, a liar or a libcrtim.
If a man would have a woman elo
him homage, he must be manly in
every se-nse-; a true gentleman, mit
after the Chesterfield se-heieil but
polite-, because his he-art is full of
kimlness tei all, who treats her with
respect, even deference, because
she i a woman; who never cemde
srcmls tel. say silly things to her;
who brings her tei his level, if his
mind is above; who is never over
anxious tei please but always anx
ious to ehi right; who has no time
to be frivolous with lur. Always
dignifieei in speech and act; who
never spemls teiei much upon her,
never yiehls to temptatiem, even if
she puts it in his way; who is ambi
tieuis tei make his mark in the world,
whether she encourages him or not,
who is not over careful about dress,
always keeping his place of the
man. the head, ami never loosin r
it. Such deportment, with noble
principles, a goeiel mind, energy,
ami imlustry, will win any woman
in the worhl who is worth winning.

South Carolina's Troubles
USING FOCR HUNDRED BLANK "W A II-
II A NTS THE INHUMANITY OF A
UNITED STATES MARSHAL.
From the Cidunihia Carolinian.
From private resources we learn
that the whilom henchman of P.
Iv. Scotts, vhoe chief achieve
ment as State Constable was his
successful capture of his salary and
contingent fund, ami who, since his
appointment as Mr. Wallace's chief
deputy, has been singularly quiet,
is now on the war-path, ami with a
corps of equally brave assistants,
is striking terror into the hearts of
the women ami chihlren of Lau
rens county by the arrest of their
husbands and lathers, the devoted
victims of the Ku-Klux acts.
Many arrests have been maile, and
the jail at Laurensville is represent
ed as full of men who have been
taken from their avocations by
these men under the authority of
warrants, onie, if not ail, of which
have been in the Marshal's hands
for nearly two years.
The chief significance of these
arrests appears from the fact that
there is money in them for tho
marshals and Uniteel States Attor
neys, and is also believed to give
these mercenaries favor in the eyes
of the king. It matters liltle who
are anested on the lour hunelred
warrants which they say they hohl,
so that they bring that number of
white cit izens tei t lie judicial mill of
Juelge Bond, and subject them to
the process of grinding ami toll.
From the Laurensville (.V. C.) Herald.
A melancholly circumstance in
connectiem with the recent death
of Mr. James Copelaud and wife,
mentioned elsewhere, is as follows:
While Mrs. Copelaud was dying,
a United States Marshal went to
the house of Mr. C. ti arrest him.
He was not takem away, however,
at the lime, and a second visit was
made for a similar purpose. In
the meantime Mrs. C. had dieel,
and the said officer found Mr.
Copelaml himself, on his secoml
visit in a dying condition. Death
soen relieved the sufferer of all his
troubles. Thus we see that not
even the couch of the dying isany
bar to the "reel right hand hand of
the law" ami greedy cormorants of
Governme nt pap.
It wouhl seem, from the deliber
ate manner wilh which the arrest
ing of citizens began, ami is being
persisted in, that another reign of
terror in this county has been at
tempteel. It is a painful fact to
realize that the strong arm of the
Government should be nsel thus
that the very power which ought
to protect its people lends its aiil
to such diabolical Tyranny.
Where or when this thing of har
assing ami torturing innocent citi
zens to gratify the whims and ca
prices of a few will end no one can
tell. There seems to be a kind of
personal spleen, the bitterest ani
meisities to gratify. The smallest
personal dislike, or the most triv
ial quarrel is magnitieel into a
grave offense against the United
States, ami the unfortunate victim
is thrown into prison. The thirst
for revenge seems insatiable.
A Father's Advice to a Uriel c.
Said a young husband whose
business speciilat ions were unsuc
cessful: "My wife's silver tva set,
the bridal gift of a rich uncle,
eloomed me to financial rjiin. It
involved a humlred unexpecteel ex
penses, which, in t;ying to meet,
have made me the bankrupt that I
am." His experience is the ex
perience of many others, who, less
wise, elo not know what is the gob
lin of the house, working its de
strucliem. A sagacious father, of
great wealth, exceedingly morli
fieel his daughter by ordering it to
be printeel on her weehliug cards,
"Nei presents except those adapted
to an income eif 1,000." Said he:
"You must not expect to begin life
in the style 1 am able after many
years of labor, to indulge; and I
knejw of nothing which will tempt
you to try more than the we-ll in-tenlieinc-el
but pernicious gifts of
rich friends." Such 'advice is
timely. If other parents would
feilhiw the same plan, many young
men. would be spared years of in-e-essant
toil ami anxiety ; they
wouhl neit fine! themselves on the
elownwarel retail, because their
wives had worn all of their salary,
or expeneleil it on the appoint
ments of the house. The fate of
the poor man who found a lynch
j.in, and felt himself obliged to
make a carriage to fit it, is the fate
it the husband who finds his brnlc
in possession of geihl and silver
valuables, and no large income to
support the owner's gold and silver
style.
" 'Tis strange," muttered a young
man as he staggered home from a
supper party, "how evil communi
cations will corrupt good manners.
