YS-L0cOM0TIVES- THE TRUE Pa
CIFIC LINE

BY ISAAC II. JULIAN.
Mid the evening twilight gathering,
Ger my native Western plain,
mark the fierce carcoring
Of the far sounding railway train;
Striking and laundering ami changing,
1t startIes the rural scene.
Like the storm god sudden appearing
On a summer eve serene.
As sit and gaze, and listen
TO the yet unwontcd sound,
Bssy Fancy backward wandcrs
To toe PATS enchanted ground;
When. where yon smoke-steed courses,
And tugs at his fiery rein,
The dim aisles of tie forest
Knew no'er a rudcr strain.
Than the Wild bird S merry carol.
or the Wild decr's stealthy tread;
While leaped the sportive squirrel
Meath the green arch o'erhead
Sunk meath the axe Of the wocdman,
That forest no longer waves;
Though pioneer here and there fingers
Yet, raid his f-llows' graves.
And think how this chsin of iron
Ere long all our country shall; bind,
And waf; its life and its commerce
More swift than the tagging wind;
Az. away to the fsr-distant sanset
Twill point the unerring line,
Over mountain and valley,
To the vast PaciGc's brine.
How the fre-steed Will hasten,
Ever away, away,
Over the boundless prairies,
Where the elk and bison stray;
Over the wandering rivers,
Through proud States yea to be
And through the mountain passes,
Prone to the Western Sea.
And while TIE yet startled echoes
Are sounding their terror back,
How tn. wide world's wealth and empire
shall hasten on the track;
o. the panoramic ages
l'fft ShSh GOhCt
And if Mammon is to rule our earth,
Nov comes his browning hour
But seem 10 hear a murmur.
On the breath of evening cast,
From the bright yet shadowy Future,
From the melancholy Past;
A still, small voice II hear it
Like gentle music fall
lone soul outwoighs the spoil Of worlds,
To the Ruler over all.
Then while ye pile wealth trophies
On plain ard hill and glen,
Heed well that greater treasure
race Of high souled men;
Clear heads and hearts of purity,
The glory of State,
The beauty of the passing hour.
Assuring prosperous fate.
THEN lay the track Of Progress
Through the broad realms Of Mind.
Speed on the ears of Light and Truth.
TO gladden. humankind,
LhiOuSu tue hSHii8E MGSbcs VI lSHofhhCt,
TGrough Priie's dsc-itfal show,
With the banner or salvation,
Bid the sxifI-winged blessing go!
Thus shall Heavens healing dews descend
On the Nations f-ycred heart,
And sanc;ify the vital tides
That nourish every part;
And, az advancing empire
Looks Ia the Western Sea-,
The PoclGc Of our Future
Shall spread infinitely.

Brooks MONUMENT. = The Niagara Falls
Gazette SAYS the workmen are busiIy engaged
in rebuilding Brooks monument, on Queenston
Heights. 1t is placed short distance from the
former site, near the brow of the mountain, and
in more conspicuous position. We judge from
the view obtained from the American side that
it is to be much larger and more beautiful than
the old one. We understand that it is to be
constructed with room in the base for the ac-
commodation of family, who will be present
to show visitors and take of it. The rebuild
ing Of Books monument does honor to our Ca
