happy then. And when the stage came to carry
her to her sick mother, never told her that
was sorry for my angry words. But when
found out that she had never touched my bush
| wanted very much to ask her to forgive me
and was so ashamed and unhappy
Yes said her mother, you then experienced
the unhappiness, which results from doing wrong
This is much greater than the death of your
earthly friends can occasion Nothing can e.
quail remorse in its power to inAct suffering
Remember this, my child, and be more afraid OF
sin than of death. If you and your earthly
friends love and obey the Savior, He will re-
unite You in heaven, where there shall be no
more death nor separation forever
AS CIara's mother finished speaking, she took
a Bible from table near BY and read aloud a
few verses from the New Testament These
verses contained the blessed assurance, that
death should introduce the believer, whether he
be hoaryheaded man, or child young in
years, to the home of his Redeemer, there to
dwell in happiness Christian Watch-

u wish there was no Death"

One warm afternoon in summer little girl
about eleven years old was sitting with her
mother in a pleasant room, She had Just been
reading a story from her Sabbath School book
The story was about little boy whose parents
had both died, when he was babe, and who
had been treated very unkndy 1t had affected
Clara, SO the little girl was named, very much,
and the tears were standing in her eyes, as she
raised them to her mothers face; and earnestly
said,
Mamma, wish there was no death Then
l should be happy
You might not my dear be.very happy re-
piled her mother, 'even though there were no
death in the world Many other causes help to
produce unhaPpiness.'
But could bear the rest, mother. Nothing
else makes me feel half so sad. When our dear
little Willie died, thought | could never be
happy again. Sometimes when | am asleep, |
dream of seeing him. play with his laxen
+curls, and he laughs and crows SO merry-
And then when wake, and think that it is all
a dream, feel so disappointed and lonely And
sometime / am afraid that you or father will
die, or that shall be sick and die myself O
mother, do not think that there is anything SC
sad as DEATH
1t does my DEAR said the little girls mother
'seem very melancholy to be separated by dealt
from those whom we dearly love. But if you
think little, you will find that you have offer

olect when you had the scarlet fever, and how
very sick and restless you were? Did you fee
very happy then?
Why, mother, l was hoping to get WELL anc
you we're by me all the time, ready to do every
thing for me. 1t was not half SO bad as When
little Willie died.
Perhaps not, said her mother, making an
effort to repress her own tears, as she thought
of her darling babe. But Clara do you re-

Public Improve mCntS.


Some two years ago project was submitted
to Congress, by Mr.. Asa Whitney, of New York,
for the construction of Rail Road from some
point on the Western border Of Lake Michigan,
to the mouth of the Columbia River or some
other point on the shore of the Pacific ocean.
The proposition, though at first looked upon
not without doubts to the practcability of its
execution has atracred great deal of attention,
and at the last session Of Congress, the commit
tee on the Public Lands made report favor
able 10 the project, and accompanied by Bill
authorising and making grant for the work.
This Bill, owing to the late period of the session
at which it was reported, did not receive the
action of either House and the subject now
remains to be disposed of hereafter.
The proposition of Mr.. Whitney is that Con
gress shall make to him and his associates, a
grant Of tract Of land thirty miles wide on each
side of the proposed road, aud extending from
one terminus to the other After ten miles
of the road shall have been completed the lands
bordering upon that section shall be sold, under
the direction of Commissioners appointed by
the Government to superntend the work, and
the proceeds placed in the Treasury of the
United States, to be applied to construction Of
the next two miles after the completion of which
the land bordering upon this second section shall
be sold, ana the proceeds disposed of as before
and so on until the work shall be consummated
These are in short the main features of the
project in accordance with which the Bill OIL
the Committee was drawn up.
The first considerations which arise in view
of the object, are the practicability ofthe scheme
and the sufficiency of the means proposed for
its accomplishment.
As to the first, we apprehend a full examina
ton of the mater will place the practicabllity OF
the project beyond all doubt The distance Of
the proposed route is 1888 miles From the
western shore of Lake Michigan to the South
OF FREMONT S Pass of the Rocky Mountains,
the distance is bout 400 miles The eleva.
ton at this point is stated by Fremont at T.
400 feet, so that the ascent to be overcome in
the whole distance would not exceed it. mile
From the Pass to the terminus proposed on the
Pacific is about 1900 miles, and the grade is
estimated, taking the elevations of Fremont, tc
vary from II to 80 feet to the mile. There
is nothing, than, in the character of the country
which would render the work mpracticabe.-
" A consideration" they say, of the facts il
the premises, leaves no doubt ofthe practicabity
of the proposed route of railroad from the
shore of Lake Michigan TO the navigable waters
of the Columbia River"
The next consideration is the adequacy Of
the means proposed which are to be procured
wholly from the sales of the lands granted A

Resolved BY the Senate and House of Representa-

Wednesday the Dist inst, at O'clock, P. M, to offer
up thanks to Almighty God for the victory lately OBJ

Mr.. Kimbal moved to lay the resolution on the Ia

Mr.. Villas desired that some reason might be assign
ed for such course and called for the yeas and nays
After considerable debate in which several senators
participated,
Mr.. Cram expressed himself in favor Of laying the
bill on the table and keeping it there. He believed
that it would be quite acceptable to the Sovereign
Dispenser of events and to Him whose advent on earth
was hailed by the song Peace on earth and good will
to men. He remembered that the burning of thea
tire, few months since in neghborng city, with the
loss of few lives, covered the whole community with

princedoms were all passed, and on an orb o

glanced with eagle ken over the scene before

stretched in placid loveness. Its mighty waves
rolled in upon the shore subimely tranquil
But suddenly the tempest breathed upon it its
ferceness, and its mountain pillows heavcd in
wild commotion, till the sky and main mingled
in the fearful strife. The sky. before so calm,
where the stars reposed in glory, that too chan
ged before him, and dark clouds yelled its beau
ty, while the lightning flash and thunder peal
kindIed and shook the heavens. The strife Of
elements was new to him. He turned away and
sought the dweIIers of the dark tempestuous
isle. A city reared its massey piles before him
He entered the crowded streets, and passed the
portals Of one Of its stately palaces. 1t was the
hour Of mlrh-the wine cup sparkled, and the
song went round. There was light in every
eye, and the elastic step was buoyaut with
mrth. They mingled in the labyrinthan mdzes
of the giddy dance, in the fitness of thoughtIess
joy.
But the hours passed by, and each turned
