STEAMBOATS, OF THE WEsT.--Behold the
mountain crowned with the glitering diadcm of
ice, and hooded with the clouds of heaven, send
ing'orth, from its exhaustess fountains, the rvu.
let that joyluTy springs to light, from the unynry-
ing darkness Of the rocky caravan. Brightly the
little stream sparkles in the sunny ray, ard leaps
down, like the noble deer, from rock TO rock,
through the tiny rainbows, that the sunshine paints
upon the spray. Rlll joins rill, and the little
stream becomes river, broader and deeper in
its npid course, as it descends to mingle with the
green pillows oil the sea. 1t an object of sad
dcning admiration while il rushes along as wild
and free as the untamed steed, reminding us Of
the stream Of time seeking the ocean of eternity.
And what gigantic object is that, which, resisting
and overcoming the law of nature, dashes maiesti-
,,lly aoEg against the mighty current the head

1t is one of the steamboats, OF thu far vest AND
how strongly this widening, and deepening, ana
power-gathering stream reminds US Of the orln,.r,
the multiplication, and the wonder working pow
ers Of the steamboat. What glorious result of
mechanical philosophy annihilator of
time and space, what an irresistible impulse thou
hast given TO the world! The water that is re-.
CURED weeks to traverse, the steamboat travels
over IN as many days. Where, but recently, the
canoe was the only craft upon our waters, hun
dreds OF floating palaces, for freight and passage
arc now daily seen rapidly poughing along our
inland seas, and our almost endless rivers. They
have disgorged theiI thousands, daily, upon the
banks Of our noble streams, and the borders of
our ocean lakes, where the wilderness has wei
coined them to her o0tstretcled arms, and bowed
in never ending proshaon before them--where
the busting village and the splendid city have
started up, like the work of enchantmont and
assumed the place OF the savage Indians hut.
The western steamboats, have communicated
to agriculture, manufactures, commerce and civil
llzatlon, an impetus that they are destined--may
heaven grant-neyer to lose They have brought
together the east and the west, the north and the
south, and been tho means Of binding more firm

AN EvENTFUL Wharf.-The year 1912 was
probably the most eventual Of any in history, an
Gent or modern. England was conyused by The
riots In the manufacturing distrlcs; Mr.. Peciyal
lost his HE, and al his death commenced the Diet
testablc reign OF Liverpool and Vansittart; Vel
llngton took the towns of Cuidad Rodaigo and
Bajos and won the battle Of Salamenca; Spain
abolished the Peerage and the Inquisition, and
proclaimed her new Constitution; all South A.
merca was in civil war; and Napoleon fought the
battles OF wilma, Smolenski, Brodino and Mos
cow,--and finally saw his mighty hosts perish in
the snow-the English likewise took AIamrez and
Seville, and Witnessed disgrace and defeat from
the Americans at sea and in the Candas. In this
eventual year no less than three millions Of Chris
tians under the sanction of the mother church and
holy priesthood, were armed for reciprocal car
mage, and all Europe and America we're made
slaughter houses Of the hama race. Its sup
posed that more than one mllhoH OF men, women
and children were batchereds or otherwise sacri-
feed, in this memorable year. What picture
Of the spirit Of Christianity is this The only
event Of the year 1912 on which rational per-
son can reflect with satisfaction, is the spirit Of
freedom which in Spain destroyed the lnquisi.

Of Night By Montgomf
Youth is the time for thought,
When quick is feelings thrill,
And sad experience has not brought
On the warm heart its chill.
Oh then remember Him whose light
Alone can guide thy steps Alright.
Youth is the time to mould
The character for Heaven,
Ere yet the plastic mind grows cold
The impress should be given,
And the fair seal Of spotess truth
And future bliss, be set in youth.
Youth is the time to trace
The page OF science DER,
Ere years with blighiins cares eface,
The thirst for ancient lore,
To throng the memory with store
or knowledge varied, rich and pure.
Youth is the time to love,
Then feeling knows no rust;
Affections purity 10 prove,
Its deep and ieryant trust,
To feel the sympathy which binds
Congenial hearts and kindred minds.
Youth is the time to die,
When bright things brightly bloom,
To turn away without one sigh
And tread the lonely tomb,
And leaning on the Saviors breast,
In hope and trust 10 sink to rest.
