Statue OF JAG ksOn.

A correspondent of the Dansville (N. H. Her
aid speaks thus of the Equestrian Statue of Gen.
Jackson, on which Mills the Sculptor, has been
engaged, at Washington, for the last four years:
The whole is not, as yet, finished, but there
is enough to give assurance of what it is to be-
There is no mistaking the strongly marked Wis
age Of the Old Hero, while his splendid war
steed seems ''to scent the battle from the air :"
This is the first attempt Of the kind by any ar
list in this country, and in some respects in the
world. The horse is in rearing position, as in
the statue of Peter the Great, but, unlike that
statue, has no support except the hind feet of
the horse attached to the padestal. In the sta
tue of Peter the Great, beside the support of the
hind feet the tail of the horse is attached TO the
pedestal or rather TO the serpent urrder TIE

Our Country.

In 1892 the cornerstone of the present Capt.
tol at Washington was laid. At that time, Gen.
Washington. in whose honor the seat of
government was named. oficiated. Fifty-eight
years afterward, viz on the 4th day of July
1851, the corner stone of an extension sof the
buildings was laid, and the Secretary of State
made an address, in the course of which he
presented sketch of the comparative condition
of our country at the two periods.
Then we had fifteen States, now we have
thirty-one.
Then our whole population was three millions,
now it is twentythree
Then Boston had $4,000 people now it has
over 137, 900.
Philadelphia had 48,QOo now it has 4Oo,-
900.
New York had 33 ,000, now it has 515, ,000.
Then our imports were q, 10000 now they
are $l7S, 100000.
Then our exports were 1896 O00, 900, now they
are Sl51 ,OOO,O
The area of our territory was then 800, 600
square miles, it is now $500, 900.
Then we had no railroads, now we have $500
miles of railroads.
Then we had 200 post-offices, now we have
21O00
Our revenue from postage then was S5100, 000
now it is So, 900, 900
These are only few facts to show the rapid
growth of the country and what and our
children have to do to secure the continuance OF
its prosperity, is to love, fear and obey the God
of our fathers to avoid intemperance, pride
contention, and greediness of gain, and cherish
in ali our hearts true patriotism, and, and
just sense of our obligation to those that shal
come after US.

Of cherished ones III meet on earth no more!
And there was one whose smile was dearer lar
To my Young heart than others ecr could he.
Hers was a smile wreathed by the hallow'd
light
plumining her spirits depths.
Fen now,
Tho thon hast fed forever from my gaze.

When the wild tide of time shall swell above
Nv sririt launched upon the boundless sea,
Whose waves shall guide me to eternity,
Where will dwell in happiness with thee.
How shall welcome thee, my birthday? Now
Thou com st to me when gadsome earth Is
crowned
IN rich Insurance with fruit and flower:
Thou com st when springs soft budding lowell
ness
H.s burst in summers brightest, gayest bloom;
And vet it's sadly | must greet thee now,
For thus around me seems the to throw
His regal splendor; and the very air
With sighs seems laden as it fans my cheek,
As if cen nature could divine the thoughts
Within the depths of my sad heart
How like,
How very like my spirit, is the month
That ushered it into existence. Warm,
Irpetuous. impulsive, rs the glow
That sunlight filings FER mornings smiling sky;
Aud true and changeleSs too as the bright rays
That at creations hour were kindled there
Are the affections burning in It's depths.
Drirbt month thy every lovely tint must fade
The fragrant flowers must droop and wither all:
and Autumn, with lis gentle sadness, come;
And Winters cheerful hours must pass, and
Spring,
Sweet, smiling Spring, must come and go ere
thou
W:Il gladden. earth again.
And she, perhaps,
Who sadly greets thee now, will lie beneath.
Thy clust'ring flowers in that sweet dreamles:
sleep
That cen the very weariest heart can rest
Where morn and eve bright dew drops, Heaven:
own tears,
Will moisten the green turf above her head
And there perhaps some loving hand will strew
Her favorite fowers-the flowers she used tc
love
And chrrish But if when thou comst again
Ihou'lt find her amoug the living ones of earth
Her prayer is now that when her birthday mex
Shall dawn, its light will find her happier,
And only welcomed by her joyous smiles.
