Our Country.

In 1892, the Cornerstone of our present

Of July, 1851, the corner stone Of an extern
sion of The building was laid; and the Sec
Ielarya OF State made an address, in The
course of which he presented a sketch OF the
comparative condition of our country at the
two periods. tHaf H f'ca
Then we had fifteen States now we have

Then our imports were thirty-one millions,

The area Of our territory was then but

These are only few facts going to show
the rapid growth of our country and what
we and our children have to do 10 secure the
continuance of its prosperity, is 10 love, fear

Fruits Of Early Rising.

The preface to the last volume of Rev.
Mr.. Barnes's Notes. which has Just ap,
peared, mentions fact which is worthy
OF being remembered by those who are
accustomed to excuse themselves from
the performance Of any great and useful
work for the want of time DR.. Barnes
has published in all sixteen volumes of
biblical Notes. during the composition Of
which he has had the charge of large
congregation in Philadelphia and yet he
has not suffered his authorial labors to
infringe upon the duties of the pastoral
office. These sixteen volumes, he in>
forms us, Shave all been written before
nine o'clock in the morning, and are the
fruits of the habit of rising between four
and five o'clock From the first, he has
made it an invariabls rule to cease wri>
ting precisely at nine o'clock and now
he finds his formidable task accomplished,
and has the satisfaction of knowing that
he has been permitted TO serd forth more
than 100000 volumes of commentary on
the New Testament, and that probably
greater number has been published abroad
All this has been accomplished in hours
which the majority of men waste in bed
in idle lisllessness, or in getting ready
for the labors of the day.-[New England

Cut out for a Sailor.

There's many hearty laugh, says the
Rost. Journal, TO be had by improving an
opportunity of having a half hours chat
with an old salt, when you catch him in
the right humor, The following was
ELECTED few nights since, and we give
it in the words of the narrator, as nearly
as possible :-l...7r-.vry
When was mate THE old brig Ceres,
bound from Boston to Buenos Ayres, we
had young country chap aboard, right
from the bush, and as green as. yellow
cabbage, and who had never smeit salt
water, much more seen it, or sailed on it.
His parents had shipped him under the
idea that he was scut out for a sailor
and because they thought he had o strong
inclination for life on the ocean, from
the skill he manifested in padding pine
rail and boards on large pond IN the
neighborhood Of his home. We had
been out about ten days, and one night it
came on to blow like blazes, and rain as
though the accumulated moisture of a
twelve month had been suddenly poured
from the heavens. When il came my
watch on deck, came out of the ca bin,
and found my green-horn slowed away
under the lee of the long-boat, crying
most bitterly and lamenting as if he ha d
lost every friend he had IN the world.
Halo " says ], 'Encch what are you
boo-hooing about, so like calf?'

would you do there g
I'D go into heshouse mighty quick !"
feelingy calculated the embryo sailor, to
the no small amusement Of his shipmates.

A Generous Deed.
BY BERNARD LEON.

As on the tempest-troubled shore
The lonely seaman stands, luz
And sadly gazes on the wrecks
That strewgthe beaten sands,
He sorrows o,ershis rnined hopes, 4
And breathes mournful prayer
When, breaks a wave upon his feet,
90 And leaves treasure there. aftrsTT
With joy upon the waif he looks,
Then grasps the welcome prize,
And in the path Of life once more '--f
The light of gladness lies. .r.. ...
As 'mong the dust of centuries
A traveller gropes his way,
For relic of some oden time,
That long has passed away,
Perchance, as thoughtfully he turns
The gathered mould of years, -
Amid the things of little worth, 1U1
volume rare appears. "'T
With keen delight he views it DER,
And joys to know its page
Will send food of light athwart ,-
Some dark but golden age. t
..
So, when upon the shores of time
The waves Of memory beat.
And nought but wrecks, far, far around,
The troubled eye can meet; ...Ir ..-.s
The weary cast away of life, s,r-
In mute despairing stands
When 10 4! the pillows part and leave "a
A treasure on the sands.
A generous deed long buried deep
Within its silent breast,
From out the waste Of waters comes, =
To bid the wanderer rest. "
So 'mong the fallen hopes of youth
The spirits gropes its way, 7 't.ti
For tokens of the happy past,
To cheer its sad decay.
A noble act, forgotten long,
Leaps forth to glad the sight,
And Sea NOS the gloom ofyears
IA calmAnd. hnSsy light - - Il
The moujer clasps il 70 his heart, vt1
And fAthat hour Of need, y
More worn than all the wealth of earth ~
