You may trace his footsteps now.
On the naked woods and the blasted fields,
Aud the brown hills withered brow;
lie has smiiten the leaves of the gray old trees
Where the pleasant dreams came forth,
And the winds that follow wherever he goes
Have shaken them down to EARTH
fiecomes, he comes.-lhe Frost Spirit comes
From the frozen Labrador;
From the icy bridge Of the northern seas,
Where the white bear wauders DER;
w here the fsherinan's sail is stiff with ice,
And the luckless forms below
In the sunless cold Of the atmosphere
Into marble statues grow
lie comes, he comes the Frost Spirit comes
And the quiet lakes shall feel
The torpid touch OF his glazing breath,
And tie ring of the skaters heel;
And the stream which danced on the broken
Or sang to the leaning grass, rocks,
Shall bow again to their winter chain
And in mournful silence pass.
lie comes, be comes--iho Frost Spiri' comes

a " sober, second thought however,
the Senate reconsidcred lis vote, re-
iecing the bill, and receiving the

Mr.. BENToN's LECTURE
IT BOSTON ON THE P.aCIFIC
RAILROAD


RAILROAD
The lecturer very fully set forll
the character of the middle route (,
the Pacific. His address was, il
some measure, repetition Of for
mer ones on the same subject, which
have been published and widely cir
culated. In conclusion, he spoke
as follows:
Mr.. President, and Ladies and
Gentlemen Of Boston, have not
spohen for disnlsg, hug for effect
WE have boa % VIII II, aud this
road cam h. made. | come 10 ask
vnur sssistance and your names,
Lut not rs endorsers of notes. Let
men in whom the public have con-
fdence put thelr names into a bill
which Congress can pass without
constitutional scruples, giving the
right of way through The territories.
Let such men appear as managers
and directors OF that great undertake
ing, and every part of America will
furnish others TO follow. Hard as
the times are, there will be money
enough TO guarantee the road.
And here | undertake to say from
all accounts | get of that country.
that about 1900 miles of this road
between Missouri aud California,
will be built more cheaply than any
road in the known world, unless II
be in the vast plains and prairies OF
Illinois. We are TO see revived, cit-
les, which will surpaSs those whose
ruins in the desert still attest their
greatness and are the wonder and
admiration of the whole world. "
| am now somewhat past the limit
which the Psalmist assigned for the
term of manhood. Yet, barring
accidents, expect to live TO see
that work accomplished. CHEERS
And to promote it 1 will do what
no other object on earth can induce
me to undertake. l will go forth to
plead for it like "Peter the Her
nit" preaching a crusade, not Of
