THE FUTURE LIFE.

BIZ WIN. CULLEN BRYANT
How shall ] know thee in the sphere which keeps
The disembodied spirits of the Dead
when all of thee that time could wither, sleeps
And Perishes among the dust we tread4
For shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain
Ii there meet thy gentle presence not
NOT hear the voice love, read again
In thy serenest eyes the tender thought
VIII not thy own meek heart demand me there
That heart whose fondest throbs to me were given 7
My name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
Shall il be banished from thy tongue in heaven?
In meadows famed by heavens life-breathing wind
In tie resplendence of that glorious sphere,
And larger movements of the unette red mind
Wilt thou forget the love that joyned us here'
The love that lived through all the stormy past,
And mcekly with my harshcr nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tenderer to the last.
Shall it pire with life, and be no more!
HAPPIER lot than mine, and larger light,
Await thee there for thou hast bowed thy will
In cheerful homage to the rule of right,
And lowest all, and rendered good for til.
For me, the sordid cares in which dwell,
Shrink and consume the heart, as heat the scroll;
And wrath hath left its scar-ihat fire of hell
Has left its frtghtful scar upon my soul.
Yet, thought thou wear'st the glory of the sky,
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name,
The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle eye,
IIoveier in heavens sweet climate yet the same
Shalt thou not teach in that calmer home,
This wisdom that learned so i'll in this
The wisdom which is love-till become
Thy fit companion in that land of bliss

ROTATION OF THE EARTH. Professor Strong, of
Rutgers Coledge, New Brunswick, N. J., has just
put in operation a continuance for testing this
scientific problem, which puts the French pendulum
mode entirely in the shade. Professor Strong has
constructed a wooden wheel six feet in diameter,
but very slight indeed, its weight being only two
hub resting on steel needle in the same manner
that compass is supported. The needle fits into
glass socket. Placed in room free from currents Of
round the wheel is perceptible the wheel apparently
performing the revolution in the proper number of
hours 1t is proper to state that motion is exter
nalIy communicated to the wheel. This is the lat
est perpetual motion we have heard Of By this
wheel it is said that the latitude all times be
correctly ascertaned. The experiment is not con-
fined to wheel of such large dimensions, but may
be realized with smaller ones. The experiment, it
is said, will soon be tested at the Washington OBJ
servatory.

the Confederacy.
cy more speedily than proper regard energetic
oeveloPement of natural resources In many parts
OF the State we are not yet, prepared TO

~ In which plank roads may not be laid down great
advantage.
The success which has attended the effort to build
plank roads in the vicinity of Fayetteville has en-
couraged friends in the northern part of the State
to follow their example. The GreenvIe and Western
Flank Road is progressing, and every step in tina
enterprise mparts life to citizens in the vicin-
lty 1t is now suggested that another plank road be
laid down between the Roanoke and Chowan rivers.
The citizens OF Hamilton of the most energetic
little towns the Roanoke have agitated the matter
it is responded to very favorably by the people of
Murfreesborough, (the proposed northern terminus
of the road) and all along the proposed line of the
road. Should that road be constructed connexon will
soon be made between it and the Greenville road.
From the point OF the northern termination (Mur-
freesborough) communication can be established
with Edenton, Plymouth and Elizabeth City by
means of the Steamers Albemarle Sound thus,
persons DESTROYS of visiting the Eastern and Wes-
tern parts of the State, do without being
PEELED to make long and extensive journey to Pc
tersburg down the APPomattox and James River and
thence by Norfolk.
The Hamilton and Murfreesborough Plank Road
will doubtless become the great thoroughare of tav
ell, and while the stock itself will become very VAL
liable, it will enhance the value of the stock of the
Greenvle roac and that OF the Steamboat Companies
on Albemarle Souno, and by increasing the facilities
of reaching the Wilmington and Roanoke Rail Road,
will tend to benefit that great improvement of Eastern
Carolina.

than it has dared go before. in opposition to the
moral feelings of the free States, pledgng itself open

The Fire ANNlHrLAroR. The Philadelphia Penn
sylvania says that Adams & Co. received by the
last arrival Of the Pacific, of these machines for
extinguishng fire. They are about the size of an
ordinary coal scuttle, made of sheet iron composed
of number of cylindrical cases within another
weighing about 90 pounds, and easily handled by
any person. The means of destroying fame is by
the production of gaseous vapour, although anti
conclusive, yet not an-respiratory, which is poured
is by
the Pennsylvania believes by reducing the tempe
of the flames to point at which it cannot
list; this is accomplished by chemical combination
of substances within the machine, which are brought
in contact when wanted by means ola simple spring,
which creates the vapour, and this is introduced TO
the fame through the epout of the mechine by the
person holding it. Each machine will give 1900 cub
ic feet of gas.
THIS discovery was made by Mr.. Phillips, Of Lon
don, who first led to prosecute his researches
by observing that the vapour which issued from a
volcano, during eruption, extinguished flame the
moment il came in contact with it.
