Carry a Thing Through

Garry thing through That is it; do not DO
ANYTHING else. If you once fairly, soundly, wide
awakely begin thing let it be carried through,
though it costs you your best comfort, time, en-
erges, and all that you can command. We
heartily abominate this turning backward, this
wearying and fainting of soul and purpose. 1t
speaks imbecility Of mind, want OF character,
courage, true manllness.
Carry thing through. Do not begin it till
you are fully prepared for its accomplishment
Think, study, dig till yon know your ground,
see your way. This done, launch out with all
your soul, heart, life, and fire, neither turn to the
right nor left. Push on gantly-push as though
creation had been waiting through all the time
for your especial hand and spirit. Then you
will do something worthy of yourself and kind
Garry thing through. Do not leap and dal-
ly from one thing to another. No man ever did
anything that way. You cannot.
Be strong minded. Be hopeful, stern ant
manly. When once fairly in work, do not give
1t up. Do not disgrace yourself by being on thi
thing today, and that thing tomorrow, and OIL
another next day. We do not care if you ar
the most active mortal living I'VE do not car
if you labor day and night in season and out, b
sure the end of your life will show nothing
YOU perpetuolly change from object to obiec
Fortune, fame, success, position, are never game
but by piopsly, determinedIy, bravely, stickin

Great Sickness in Holliston, One
Hundred years ago.

While on a recent visit to the town of Hollis
ton, in Middlesex county, learned fact con-
nected with its earlier history which may not be
entirely uninteresting to some of your readers.
Between December ls, 1853, and January
30, 1754, the town was visited by what has ap-
propriately been called the Great Sickness. -
The symptoms of the disease, as described in
the journal of the then clergyman of the place
were, violent pleuritic pains, fever, and diff
Guilty of expectoration which terminated in
strangulatiOn. During the progress of the dis
ease, the mind of the sufferer was wholly free
from arrangement. Death succeeded every at
tack, but two, in the course of three or four
days.
The population of the town, at the time, was
little less than 400. In the short space of six
weeks, more than one-eighth Of the number
died. Seven lay unburied one day, and ten on
another. Few families escaped bereavement,
and several were entirely swept away by the
plague Although those in health employed
their whole time in assisting the afflicted, they
we're not sufficiently numerous to take proper
care of the sick and dying, and to bury the
dead.
The most striking circumstances connected
with this awful visitation were the narrowness
of the limits within which it was confined, and
the absence of any apparent natural cause.
A hundred years have passed away since that
fearful calamity. During that time the town
has increased in population six fold, and has be.
come noted for its enterprise, and for being the
seat of one of the finest academies in New Eng
land, And it is proof of the deep impression
which that event made upon those who survived
it, that at the distance of three generations, amid
the noise attendant upon the highest prosperity,
nothing is the subject of more frequent alluson.

A LUsUs NATURE.-We saw, last week, a
strange phenomenon in the human form. twas
born of negro woman. 1t was male, fourteen
years OF age, is thiny-seven and half inches in
height, and weighs twenty-seven pounds. His
head is small in proportion to his face, and re.
cedes to point, much after the manner of a
small ended egg. He has no intelligence more
than what is common to brute creation, cannot
speak word, yet will recognize the call of his
name, which is Squire" Walks on his hands
and feet like quadruped sits like tailor and
when he sleeps sits in this position with his head
IN his lap. He lives on the ordinary human di.
ct, but has to be fed like a child. His owner
intends exhibiting him in the southern and ives.

ers, over an area $4,000 square miles that Of
the Amazon and its continents, with the Orinoco
as one Of them, embraces the vast area more
than twice over. The great Amazonian valley
is said by the same authority to cover an area of
upwards of two millions of square miles in ex
tent.
"The Mississippi River is computed to afford
a littoral navigation of $4,000 miles in length !;
some put it down as high as 90 900. But the
Amazon and it's majestic tributaries wind through
an inland navigation to such an extent that, if
stretched out in line, its length would be
enough to eneircle the earth three times. 1t is
set down as high as $4,000 miles. The Amazon
is said to be navigable for vessels Of the largest
class up to the foot of the Andes. The Penn
sylvania "a may ascend that high.S
"And so traVersed with pavgable streams
and water-courses is the great Atlantic slope of
South America, that there are in it no less than
1900 miles Of furos,' or natural canal, through
which it is practicable for vessels to cross from
one river over into another.
"Were this valley settled upon and subdusd
to cultivation, the Indies, in commercial sense
would thereby be lifted up and placed at our
doors, for all the productions of the East -four
ish there; and 90 jealous and afraid of such a
result was Portugal, in her day of East India
possession and commerce, that BY a royal ordi-
nance it became unlawful to cultivate in the great
Amazon basin single drug, spice, or plant Of
East India growth or production"

In short, you must carry thing through if
you want to be any body or anything. No matter
if it is hard. No matter if it does cost you the

were made for the matter, and that no one else
can do it all. Put forth your whole energies.
Stir, wake, eectrify yourself and go forth to the
task. Only once learn to carry thing through
in all its completeness and proportion, and you
will become hero. You will! think better of
yourself-others will think better of you. Of

No evil is wholly evil This is one of the
bright CLEANS Of light that stream in upon all
nights, even the darkest. No evil is wholly evil.
Behind the blacklist cloud The sun shines-or the
stars. All our trials and sorrows have elements
of good in them hopeful features which smile
upon us in gentle reproof of our unbelief and
encouragement. Now and then, as the swift
shuttle passes I'VE catch gimpses Of bright threads
weaving themselves into the dark web of our
affliction Hidden relations of events are dis
covered in this or that direction, where we did
not look for them. And by and by the future
good, which at first was shut out by the present
and nearer evil, begins to lift itself into the light
of vision and we feel our faith increased, and
confirmed at last, in the ever joint action OF the
infinite Power and Love of the Father.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN MADAGAscAR.-
The Queen of Madagascar is bent on extermin-
ating Christianity in her dominonsand has long
mercessy prosecuted those who prefer the
"new religion" In the last outburst of this
.protracted persecution, four persons were burnt
alive; fourteen precipilated from high rock
and crushed to death hundred and seventeen
persons condemned to work in chains as long as
they live; twenty persons cruelty fogged with
rods, besides 1,74s other persons mulcted in
heavy penalties, reduced into slavery, and
compelled to buy themselves back,or be deprived
Of their wives and families. Persons of rank
have been degraded, and sent as forced laborers
to carry stone for twelve months together to
build houses and in an endless variety of othe
ways have the maddsned passions of one wicked
woman been permitted now for years past to
plunge large, populOus, and beautiful country
into misery and ruin.

All the deep sorrow of sad hearts unveiiiag,
The agony Of those who watch in fear

Thy spirit standing in the halls of Heaven,

supposed to fall towards the sun, as their orbits

New INVENTION. A new invention and
application of that elastic substance. India Rub
bcr' has recently appeared in the shape OF sails
tor ships, Invented by Mr. Charles Goodyear, of
New York. The article has been tried On board
the Ship Stephen Whitney, one of the New York
and Liverpool packet ships, with success. Capt
Popham, master of the ship, states that among
the other excellent qualities, it always remains
pliable in all weahers, and clear of ice, at times
when canvass sails become stiff and frozen. 1t
possesses great durability, and is easily handled
in hot or frosty weather, and is, not liable to mil
dew, The variety of uses to which India Rub
Der has become subsequent, is most astonishing
and is an evidence of the great progress of hui

And learn to love the Eternal caus
