BUSINESS, IMPROVEMENTS, Erc.-We are al
most surprised at the extensive improvements
which have been made aud are in progress in
our city at the present time. As prominent
among these improvements we notice two COM
modious public houses and large building de-
signed for an iron foundry. In addition,we have
large number of dwelling houses, stores, etc.
in process of erection which taken in connection
with the extensive grading and repairing, bridg-
ing and planking, claying and crawling of the
different streets in various quarters of the town.

TO brave Poland, unite with your brave Hunga-
fiail ncighbors and snlite the proud Emperor and
make him bow TO the power of the people,
But TO what use would our money 20?
would like to ask the heads of our church this
question. | will answer it for the benefit of
those who may be inclined TO give their money
1t will GO 10 put in irons and to death such men
as Smith O'Brien, John Mitchell, Meaeher. NJ
Manus, Doheny, and c. q. Duffy Will YOU
give your money for such use! hope not. And
again; are we not shocked at the news that ey-
cry week reaches us, of hundreds of pounds 90
ing from Ireland to reinstate the Pope, and in the
next line, the people dying with starvation Who
IS the cause of all this? The very men who have
the bareiacedness to ask our money to reustate a
prince. The people of Rome are as much attach
ed TO the Pope as we are, and invite him home
TO his spiritual functions with all the affection of
their hearts.
But enough for the present. By inserting

lJ~The Geneva Standard thinks It :lie design
of The Southport and Deiost road company TO give
Geneva the go by in the construction of plank
road, by making two branches, one north and
the other south of that village. This, the Stan
dard thinks should be cause of mortal offence to
Geneva, which lie recommends should III com
sequence, proceed at once to connect itself with
the Milwaukee road by branch, and cut of all
business relations at once and forever with South
port We do not know whether any such de-
sign is entertained, but we can sec consi-
derable plausibity in a proposition Of the kind
and think it possible it may be done, but are not
so clear that it should be so great cause of Of
fence as the Standard seems to think, nor do we
see what Geneva would gain ty pursuing the
advice Of She Standard. Southport is her near
est market, and she could connect herself with
the north or south Southport road as easily a.
Nlth The Milwaukee. It would he rot less graz
tlyng to our citizens TO project the road through
Geneva, than for the citizens of Geneva to so
have it, but as important interests might dictate
q different course, it is certainly not asking a
great deaf Of the generosity Of Geneva, III view
of these important interests, to submit to the trl-
fling inconvenience of a branch road. The trade
of Geneva is not to be sighted, and doubtless
our people would not willingly do any thing 10
interrupt that trade, and what may be done will
not be from any disposition to underrate the inn
portance of that trade.

of our ur.angelgirl. AS he spoke Of heav-

God to4sparc her to. ussyet alittle long

knecling with his face buried in the
pillow which lay at the side of the bed.
Then / saw her hand steal along until
it reached his head and her tiny fingers
were among his thick locks Of hair, and
the next moment her hand was in his,

gazed into her face with unutterable
words Of hope escape from the lips of

us those sounds died away, family,
scarce heard, them gono forever! and
she did not hear them when she came
back, as she did at times to keep the
tryst with Phil. She heard then no
sounds but the beatings of his heart!

his spirit sprang forth at the call. The
bonds Of earth were broken! None
