Prize Ode.
BY WILIJ..M ROSS waLI.ACE.

10, the transitory darkness
From our Palace floats away
10 the glorious gems of Genius,
Glitter in the rising day.
See again the mighty Nations
Meet and clasp each Others palms,
And by Iabor's glowing altar
Lift ON high according psalms.
Here behold the true Evangcl
Not from War may Earth increase;
God has stamped his shining patent
Only On the brow of Peace.
Only by the arm of labor
Swinging to Inventions chime.
Can the Nations build their Eden
In the wilderness Of Time.
Nations hear that mighty music
Rolling through the mountain bar
lLnting dc crts. bridging oceans,
Marrying the choral stars:
Telling that ocr Crystal Palace
Clorifics the io>n;l- SOL
Making Man, with Art and Nature,
Worthy Of the bail .er-God
Nations then rejoice that darkness
From our Palace floats away,
And the glowing gems Of Genius
Glitter in the light Of day

Now-AsD THEN.-A writer in the TrumbuIl
(Ohio) Democrat says: ''Thirty-fve years ago we
came to Ohio, and in doing passed through what
was then called the "lour-mile woods" this side of
Buffalo. 1t then took whole day to pass through
this four mile mudhoie. In the excursion last week
we passed over the same ground in FIVE minutes
Thirty-fve years ago it took us forty-two days to
travel six hundred miles: and the journey is
made in less than that many hours"
