The River of Tears.
BYH. N. Powers.

BY n. N. POWERS.
In the ghastly dusk Of cypress shade,
O'er the beaton sands OF a dismal gladel
The River ofTears, with ceaseless flow,
Rells its bitter waves Of human wo.
The herhless mountains that grid the vale,
In an endless dawn stand cold and pale,
And the lustreless clouds drop down so low,
They touch the face Of the stream below.
No honeyed blossoms breathe hale around
In tn e funeral gloom thar shrouds the ground
But dark, rank weeds reoch greedily Ger
To sip the surge on the level shore.
Wild shrieks oft startle the dusky air, .
And the smoothered howl of mad despair
While the pleading wall Of loves last cry
Flobts o'er the waves TO the leaden sky.
In emless courses deep foot prints 20,
of the suffering ones Of long ago
As the sad procession, with clasPed hands,
Went wandering over the barren sands.
In the suen shodows brooding here.
Stalk pallid Sorrow and Shiyeri np Fear,
Frail Youth, bent Age, and the bad and bold,
And the gentle and good whose lives grew cold
In hopeless anguish some hide their eyes,
And with pale, wan looks, some watch the skies
Some beat their bosoms with frenzied stare,
And some feel round in the empty air.
Thus in mournful groups they come and go;
None tells TO another his weight of wo;
And the swollen stream, meath the dusky shroul
Goes down to its sea Of noiseless cloud

PUBLIC WORSHIP IN oLDEN r1MEs.---The
pastor being in the pulpit, which lowered high
and was surmoanted by huge sounding
board, the ruling elder, on an elevated seat
before the pulpit, facing the audience. and the
deacons on their seat, somewhat less elevated
than his, the heads of families on plain seats
in the body Of the house, and the children
and young people where they could most con-
veniently dispose themselves, the pastor open
ed the service with u prayer Of at least fifteen
minutes long, which was followed by the rea-
ding and exposition OF a chapter Of holy writ
which was followed by the psalm, given out
by the elder, in which all the congregation
who could sing joined, which was followed by
sermon an hour or more in length, measur-
ed by the glass; with which, and another
prayer, and the benedctien, the meeting clos
ed. The entire services occupied three hours.
They met at nine o'clock in the morning, and
two o'clock in the afternoon, and celebrated
the Lords supper once month, at the close
Of the morning service, Every Sabbath there
was contribution; previous to the taking OF
which, one Of the deacons, in turn, standing
up said, "Brethren Of the congregation, now
there is lime remaining for contribution; to
the Lordi wherefore as the Lord has prosper
ed you, freely offer" The box was no: pass
ed from seat to seat. as with US, but was plac-
ed on stand or table near the pulpit--those
disposed to contribute came forward and de-
posted their offerings in it. These offerings
consisted not of money merely, but notes Of
hand, and any articles which could be pofita-
bly, appropriated to the use of the chsrch.

rs n Law Prohibiting the Trafffc
of Intoxicating Liquors COnseitu-
liOnal,!

PUBS. CoM'-As the question of legal interrer
ence with the liquor traff; is now agitatnp the
public TO a hitherto unprecedented extent an d
the En9arei in its leader ofthe 18th instant, has
attempted to prove that the constitution itself has
deprived the Legislature of the power TO interfere
with its sale, and confnedits action 10 the evil,
resulting from such sale, 4 hope you will allow
me, through your columns, to attempt an argu
inent, TO my mind satisfactory, in favor of The
proposition that il is strictly within the spirit and
letter Of the constituton of Ohio, that ths Legis
lature should, IL they and the people deem it ex-
pedent, utterly and entirely prohibit the mann
facture or sale Of intoxicating liquors as bever-
age.
AS in the conrse Of this article shall have oc :
casion to quote somewhat freely from the procee.
dings and debates of the Constitutional Cony.n-
ton of 1880, am fearful Of trespassing upon your
patience, u not that ofyour readers; but, consid-
ering the importance of correct understanding
of this question, aud the fact that let the result
far as Legislative action is concerned, be what
ii may, the effect OF the present agitation of ths
public mind will undoubtedly rssnlt in much
moral good. l am led to hope, that you will per :
nit me TO occupy SO much fyopr valuable Jour
aa as will suffice for a fall consideration and ex
animation in relation to constitutional power
In examining this subject, shall dsembar
rass ofall questions arising upon the Maine haw
as it is called, any other special enactment and
by confnng myself to the simple question of con
sttutional power to Interfere with The traffic,
leave the particular of that Interference 10
be decided by the people aud their legislative ser
wants.
The EngtTren in common with all who deuy
the right Of legislation on the traffic ITSELF bases
its argument upon the peculiar phraseoosy of

A case Of SANDER occasioned some trouble
at Paris in the time of Louis XIII, arising from
a curious Misrepresentation. A Monsieur Vau-
Icolas called on a widow, Madame Pilou, to in.
qure as to the renting Of a house, Her inti-
mate friend, Madame de Castillo, ohanced To
have shared her bed the night previous, and
the gentleman calling early, was asked to
speak to the fair proprietress, without troub-
ling her to rise. She had been in the habit
of making herself younger looking, by shaving
and was, at that time living in seclusion, bu!
in the enjoyment of iuxurient beard Mons.
Vouoolas, seeing one of the occupants of The
bed bearded and the other not, naturally mis-
took the matter, and circulated an injurious
report accordingly. 1t was corrected, but not
till after some perplexiug circumstances.
The 'Menagidna' gives the following un-
complimentary explanation of the reason why
ladies ale not bearded by na:urei-

+ PANAMA RAILRoAD. From correspondent
of the ~ Y Courier and Enquirer we gath
er the following particulars relative to this
road. Five miles more of the track are near
y ready for the cars, and would have been in
use ere this, but for the bridge over Cha gres
river having been swept away. The bridge
is nearly rebuilt, aud ere the close of the year
it is expected that the road will be completed
to Cruces, thence good road 10 Panama will
make the crossing of the Isthmus tolerable,
inasmuch as the boating upon the Chagres
river viii be dispensed with.
From Cruces to Panama, but little has been
done towards grading the road the contrac-
tors having thrown up their contracts, and the
company have been compelled to resume the
work. Plans are in operation for procuring
men. and Col Totem hopes to have the work
completed within the ensuing year.
ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN, RAuRoAp.-This
road between Chicago and Joaesyille, Wiscon-
SIN is progressing rapidly. It is now compile
ted to within mile of Deer Grove, 22 miles
and cars are running that distance. 1t is ex.
pected to be completed to Woodstock, so miles

Of this road, from Frcepora will be completed
this winter; the remainder, about the same
distance, to Galeoa, will be completed in the
spring. aa

is still another reason why the Egyptians

force 10 efch successive, aye, down to the

as is generally the case, the fact of their

was not until tho clouds of superstition were
rolling away, and the light of science begun
to break through and dsperse the gloom of
The dark ages, thatthe cultivationof the soil
took stand, in advance of its former deg
radatlons, as an employment. The accu-
mutation of human-beings upon the surface
ofthe Garth, and more especially on the
Western coasts of Europe, begun TO render
a stricter economy of the production of tho
soil necessary. The attention of the more
learned was now called TO this important
fact, and in proportion as this impaired dig.
nifty 10 the occupation, in the same ratio did
it advance in excellence. 1t was no longer
the work Of slaves who sowed without ca

gle for superiority among the better classes.

every profession Attach dignity TO it ia

rapidly at The progress of agricultural edu-
cation in the Eastern Continent, we shall

of the same in The Western Hemisphere in
