A PASSAGE FROM THE POEMS OF LoNeFtLho"'
The bells themselves are the best o' pfeao"'
Their brazen lips are learned teachers, =.
From their pulpits of stone in the upper a''
Sounding aloft without crack or nav,
Shriller than irumpeis under the law,
Now n sermon now a prayer.
The dangerous hammer is the tongue,
This way, that way, beaten and swung, oe
That from mouth OF brass, as from mou'" ~
golJ nd
May be taught the Tes:aments, Ne" "''u
Old.
And above it the great cross beam oil WOOD,
Representeth the Holy Rood
Upon which, like The bell, our hopes are
hung
And the wheel wherewilh il is swayed and
swung
Is The mind OF man, that round and round
Sways, and maketh the tongue Ia snund;
And the rope, with its twisted cordage three,
Deno,e,h the Scripural Trinity
OF morals, and symbols, and history,
And the upward and downward motion show,
That we touch upon matters high and low,
Aud the constant change and lransmutaiion
OF action and of contemplation
Downward, the Scripture brought from on
high.
Upward, exalted again 10 the sky
Downward the literal Interpretation,
Upward, the vision and mystery

2.5uO Acres Timber Land
FOB SALE.

SEVERAL VALUABLE TRACTS OF
~ TIMBER LAND, comprising about $500
acres, part of which is situated on Tobyhanna
Creek, and part on Muddy Greek, within three
miles of Lchigh River, in Penn forest township
Carbon County, one Of the great Coal Counties
of Pennsylvania, can be had at bargain, if APP
plication be made soon.
These lands are thckly covered with the best
timber of that region. While it is believed that
$4,000 feet Of lumber TO the acre, can be cut from
a large portion of the land, the balance will aver
age not much less than this figure. The kinds of
timber found on the land are Hemock, Spruce or
White Cedar, White Oak White Pine and
Chestnut-but principally made up of White
Pine and Hemlock
The Tobyhanna and Muddy Creeks are large
and rapid streams, yielding a vast amount of
water power aud are capable of driving large
number Of saw mills. They empty into the lchigh,
which stream, with the Lehigh Canal Affords an
outlet to tho most desirable lumber markets.
There is, too, under contemplation, railway
leading to the cities of New York and Philadelphia
which runs within one mile and three quarters of
the land. Through these avenues lumber can be
delivered in either of the cities named, for about
81 per thousand feet-thus enabling persons en-
gagged in the trade to derive greater profits than
attend investments generally.
In addition to the timber, convertible into eve
ry shape of lumber, there is much that will
swer for spars of vessels-a sort of timber that
snip-builders have been obliged to purchase in
Maine, or at other distant points
Unlike most of the lands on the Lehigh there
has, as yet, been no culng of the timber on this
property. II stands undisturbed by the wood
mans axe. 1t is, therefore, the moro valuable.
| The lumber trade of the Lehigh has been carried
on to such an extent for years past thata scarcity
of good timber is beginning to be felt. Every
season necessarily increases this difficulty. The
consequence must be an enhancement Of the
value of timber lands Those un-culled tracts
with the advantage of avenues to market, such
as the lands Offered for sale, possess cannot fail
to be the sources of supply hereafter
But the land is not alone valuable for the tim
Der it contains. 1t is of good quality for farming,
nearly every acre being susceptible of high
state Of cultivation
| Capitalists desiring to make investments would
do well to turn their attention to these lands. For
further information apply to
