Let me go. the day is breaking.
Earthly scenes are fading fast;

hopes and fears are with the past
Earthly visions now are dark,ing,
And the City's golden glow

In the distance let me go!

Wait me at the rivers side,
And my eager heart is pining,
But to meet them on the tide.

On my spirit-let me go!

In the death hour sore dismayed,
All my grief and fear has taken,
All my debt of sin has paid.

Through the form he wore below,
On throne of dazzling whiteness;
And he calls me--let me go.

Parted from our paths like dew,

behold the pure and true,
Loreller in that far dominion,

And they stood with dropping pinion,
To enfold me-let me go!
Lay me gently on my pillow, .u
Weary are my horn-pierced feet;

And the rest beyond is sweet.

CANNON BALLS AND LOCOMOTIVES
According to the experiments of DIR Hut.
ton, it appeared that the time of flight of a
cannon ball having a range Of 670O feet
is one quarter Of a minute. The velocity
was, therefore, 26 800 feet per minute,
which is equal to five miles per minute,
or 300 miles per hour. 1t follows, there
fore, that railway train moving at 10
miles an hour, not an uncommon speed for
express trains TO attain, would have ave-
loci,y only four times less than cannon
ball. The momentum of such mass
moving at such speed is difficult to con-
ceive. 1t would amount to a force OF a
number of cannon balls equal to one
fourth of its own weight.

Horrible Murder aud Attempted Sui

On Sunday last, the 2Slh uli., our usually

ment that most unnatural murder had been
committed in its pIecinlcs. Il appears that
Benjamin Wilcox, an old resident Of Towan.

tho assassin had frequently threatened the
life Of his wife, and on several occasions had
even purchased the implements 10 perform

Of bis intempennce, he had been Separated }
and requested her 10 make some clothing. -
He called several times repeating his request,
but each time he received positive denial
This inceHsed Wilcox extremely, and in his
fury he plunged n knife through the heart of
his wife, producing almost Instant death.
The evidence before the jury Of inquest,
shows that The deed was committed under
excitement. 1t occurred in The midst of an
alteration between the wife, daughter, (the
wife had been living with the daughter,) and
the unfortunate assassin. In The melee, the
daughter struck her father twice with chair,
while she received a wound, from knife in
the hands Of her father.
Fifteen minutes afler Wilcox had been
lodged in prison, the cry was given that he
had attempted to take his own life. He in,
aicled three severe wounds on his person,
which at the lime il was believed would prove
fatal. A, present he prisoner is moi cohsid.

OIiiO.

The editor Of the Cincinnati Atlas is now
rustcating in ChilIicolhe. After giving his
opinion that the next census of Ohio will
show a population of 2, 100000, he expresses
our sentiments exactly in the following
manner:
"In 1870, OHIO must, accord 'ng to the
present current of industry, commerce. and
internal improvement, be decidedly The most
populous State of the American Union, New
York and Ohio will each then contain more
than four millions; but Ohio will be ali cad.
No other State can compete with Ohio, for
reasons which can be easily explained. The
main one is that no other State in The Union
contains as much aliment in the bosom of
her soil, upon which either to feed or employ
her people. The first element of wealth and
population in any country is land capable of
producing, bread 10 eat, UooL to clothe. coal
to burn, and iron manufacture. A country
which can do all this is beyond any change
Of fortune. Such is Ohio"
