Under this head, the Macarthur Re-
publican copies a stray paragraph from
the Hillsboro' Gazette, and accompanies
if with the following as prefix
1t will be seen that there is a pros
Pect OF another railroad running through
Vinton county. In the event of both
roads passing through this county, those
OF our citizens who have expressed a
desire TO take stock in Railroad, should
consider first which Company has the
greatest claim upon them for their aid {"
Had we not received a private letter
from friend Bort, the editor, (which sud-
den and sevele illness prevented our
answering. according to his request, at
the time, we should have been much
surprised, indeed, to find the aforesaid
article in the Republican. The route
now under examination, from Hillsboro'
to Belpre, cannot pass through Vinton
county at all, without zigzagging hither
and thither, through the hills. The
line indicated upon the Map accompany
ing the late report OF the Baltimore &
Ohio railway company, which the Hills
boro' Gazetts says is the one to be adop-
ted!-cannot touch the county of Vinton,
without running in a northeast course
some thirty odd miles, on purpose to
take the southern portion of the county
in its way. The horse back examiners
we encountered at Piketon had gotten
entirely too far south TO admit Of the
idea of crossing the State above Jackson.
Their route, as we understood them,
was four miles south of Bainbridge.
following down Sunfsh creek, to its
mouth near Jasper, and then screwing
into the Beaver hills as best they might.
SO long us common sense has any
thing TO do with railroad matters,
that line will never be built. We do |
not suppose that the shrewd men of
will take it upon them TO
build rival line to the Marietta and |
Cincinnati road, from Parkersburg
over and among the worst hills in
Southern Ohio;-when, by construc-
ling line only eight or ten miles
Iong, from Belpre TO the main line of
The Marietta road, they will secure
the best and straitest route TO Gin
;innati. If the issue depended upon
The personal feelings Of Engineers
Latrobe and Morris, such a rival
road might be begun; but until Balti-
more is ready TO sacrifice fully three
Millions of dollars TO indulge the
oiques and prejudices of those gentle
men, no such tomfoolerv as a
Itraightline road from HiIlsboroughi
10 BelPre will be attempted.

can never forget thine eyes soft light,
Through the lapse of feeting years,
Forget that love-look, warm and bright
Which flashed through happy tears.
cannot forget thy beauty rare,
Of form, and soul, and heart;
Yet memory brings this mournful truth
That we must dwell apartl
hear thy voice at morning bright,
And through the busy day
Mid grief and care, its whispers light
Make music round my way.
'Tis breathing at the twilight hour
Some sad, bei5rod strain,
That with wild, resistless power,
Brings back the past again.
Dear friend, why don't you often come,
With thy young heart light and free,
And visit my dear happy home,
Tojoin our mirthful glee.
Here you may meet the welcome
Of friends who fondly love,
And hand in hand with pleasure bright
en-
The path where'er we move.

WHAT LITTLE PUNCTUALITY

pay US The dollar he owes us for the
small job we did for him two wears
ago, we would pay Mr.. DrygoodS
that dollar we owe him; he would
pay Sam Vulcan for shoeing his
horse; Sam would pay Bob Charcoal

Axeman for his last two days chop
ping; Joe would pay Jack Grist for
his last bag Of cornmeaI; Mr.. Grist
would pay Doctor Esculapius for the
medicine that came so near getting
down his child; Doc would paw the
widow Broom for her last two days
washing; she would pay Bill Grocer

would pay 'Coke-upon Littleton' his
fee for counsel in 'the State of Ohio

of his boots; Peter could then 90 and
pay Tim Iiaystack the dollar he owes
him on the hay he bought OF him last
week; and Tim is such a good hon.

right in and pay US the dollar he owes
US on straightforward then we could
buy a chicken, dozen of eggs, half
bushel ofcornmeal to make 'dodger,'
and we, ourself. Individually, and our
wife, and our 'taddling wee things
would boast one splendid banquet once
year, and we would have dime in
our pocket, 'baby in the cradle, and lit
tie wife to rock it,
But because Jerry Dilatory is not hon.
est enough to pay-not one of these
debts can be paid, and we cannot have
the feast Of fat things at all. All, Jer-
~ Dilatoryl You are the cause of all
this trouble. You prevent all this hap

How SCHOLARS ARE MADE.-Cost-
ly apparatus and splendid cabinets
have no magical power TO make
scholars. As man is in all circum-
stances, under God, the master OF
his own fortune, so he is the maker
of his own mind. Tho creator has
so constituted the human intellect,
that it can only grow by its own ac-
ton, and by its own action il will
certainly and necessarily grow
Every man must therefore educate
himself. His books and teachers are
but helps; the work is his. A man
is not educated until he has the abili-
ty to summon, in an emergency, his
mental powers in vigorous exercise
TO effect its proposed object. 1t is
not the man who has seen most, or
read most, who can 90 this; such an
one is in danger OF being borne down
like beast OF burthen, by an over
loaded mass of other mems thoughts.
Nor is it the man who can boast
merely Of native vigor and capacity.
The greatest Of all warriors who
went to the siege of Troy had not
the pre-eminence because nature had
given him strength and he carried
the largest bow, but because disci-
pline had taught him how to bend it.
Daniel Webster.

not bring himself to say so. At last

In a poem at the Centennial Cele
bration in Derryfeld, N. H.. by Mr.
Stark, the fashionable belle hears
from him in no gentle style. He
says:-
"She lies ahed in the morning
Till nearly the hour of noon,
Then comes down swapping and snarl-
ing
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint,
Remains OF her last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint.
'She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with 'the flowing hair
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such a foreign air.
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
And though but mouse should meet
her,
one Sinks away III S"oon'
"Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her Jewels are so very heavy,
And her head so very lights
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own,
Her body is made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
'fShe falls in love with fellow
Who sweIls with foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair;
One of the very best matches
Both are well mated in life,
She's got a fool for husband,
He's got fool for a wife,"

MEETING oP THE GIANTs.-lt will
be seen from the announcement in
another column that the Kentucky
Giant, Jim Porter. will attend by
special invitation, the levee OF the
Nova Scotia Giant at the Odd Fell
lows Hall tonight. II will no
doubt be an interesting sight of be-
holding these two giants side by side.
There is good deal Of difference Of
opinion which Of the two is the taIlest.
The exhibition to night will decide
this much-mooted question.

CoAL.-When this fuel was first
introduced into England, the preju-
dice against it was so strong that the
Commons petitioned the crown TO
prohibit the "noxious" fuel. A royal
proclamation having failed to abate
the growing nuisance, a commission
was ISSUED to ascertain who burned
coal within the city and its neighbor-
hood, and TO punish them by fine for
the first offence, and by demolition of
their furnaces if they persisted in
transgression. A law was at length
passed making it capital offence to
burn coal in the city OF London, ard
only permitting it to be used in the
forges in the vicinity. Among the
records in the Tower, Mr.. Astle
found document importing that in
the time ol Edward !, man had
been tried, convicted and executed
for the crime OF burning coal in Lon
don. 1t took three centuries to en-
tirely efface this prejudice.

From some cause or other, weddings
are very bad for the eyes. The mo-
ment the knot is tied the bridesmaid,
two aunts and a mother, rush into a
hall or bedroom, and have a good
cry for hours together. Why poor
DEVILS promise to pay a young wo-
mans board bill should operate thus
on the "finer feelings of our nature" !"
puzzles us to divine.

Statisticians inform US that a wo-
mans chance of getting married is
at its maximum between the ages OF
twenty and twenty-five. After thir-
ty, her chances, as might have been
supposed, dwindle away 10 zero;
hence the great length of time most
ladies take in arriving at that age.
