a SUMNER NOON.


The summer sun shonc brightly,
O,er meadaw, hill and stream
The .ammcr breeze blew lightly,
.Aswc hear II in dream.
In the sunshine glowed the whsat,ian
With natures brightest sheen,
In tho shadows, all tho grass lands,
Raysd forth q deeper green.
The air, with heat was radiant,
And il wavered to and fro,
Asil bathed the sleepy landscape
In its soft and haz! glow.
Tie birds had ceased TO MARBLE,
For they took their noon-tide rest,
And the escr-playial squirrels
Were with drowsiness oppressed.
The flowers themselves seemed sleeping,
For they moved not in the breeze,
And their slender stalks were quiet,
As the sturdy dig trees.
The elm tree leaning over,
With It's thick leaves threw shade,
Which wayered with the ripples,
b, the running streamlet made.
From the rocks in tho clear water,
There siided in and out,
The cautious looking sun fish,
And the 81 yer-specklcd trout;
But even there the largnor
ofthe h ur seemed 10 know,
Ard the sul-hsh lay US quiet
As the polished stones below.
On the naked limb outsire,ching,
or the smooth bark sycamore,
The feet-winged fish bird nodded,
And his prey awhile for5oFe.
Such was the sleepy landscape,
la tina, quiet summer hour,
As watched the drowsy stiffness
OF bird and fish and flower.

From the Rock l,ander.l
Tao Great Bridge. A Glimpse into the Flu

We learn from the energetic contractors
for the masonry and the woodwork OF the
Great Bridge across the Mississippi-JoHS
Warner aud SroHk & BooNER-that it ia
intended to prosecute the work upon it
steadily this winter. By spring they
hop. to have it SO far advanced, as to be
able to complete it during the summer
months.
We are gratfied, indeed, that we eau
m Ike such an announcement. The bridge
over the Mississippi is matter which .con-
Germs not ouly the citizens OF Rock Island
and Davenport, but in which tho whole
world of commerce and civilization has a
deep and abiding interest. 1t is great
bond, uniting the valley Of the Ohio, and the
Lake country, with that vast sxpanse, soon
to be the seat of great States and the home
Of countless millions, which extends west
ward to the foot Of the Rocky Mountains.
Dy means OF it, tho rising cities OF our Pa
eidc coast, Astoria. San Francisco, and
Monterey will ore day join hands with New
York and Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more. Our Union will then be bound to-
gether with bonds SO strong, that its DISCO
luton will be made thing forever impos-
sible.
This Bridge will be the great highway,
not only of the commerce of the Union, but
| OF the world. by some mysterious law, 'hs
| path of commerce is ever from East 20
Wcs.-from the rising towards the setting
sun. 1t ever also seeks temperate ehme
for its pathway. From Canton TO caro-
from Cairo to Liverpool, from LlFerpooi 70
New York, from New YORK 10 Chicsgo, ana
our own Rock Island, and from kock Island
over the vast Frairics OF the Missouri,
through the passes Of the Rocky Mountains,
and along the valleys Of the Columbia ana
Sacramento, to the Paeihe shores, IS rs
predestined route. No southern route d.
cross the continent, sweltering 6eneatn q
burning .un, which dissipstes the energy OF
man, and makes the land desert, can ever
compete with our northern route, over a
fertile soil, peopled by avigorous and hardy
race Of men. The great Hood OF commerce
has never flown thro ugh tropical chan
mel, save when no other one was open.
The seats of the worlds commerce, at
at the present day, are not at Lisbon, and
Rome, and New Orleans, but cities of
more northern clme-London, Amsterdam,
St. Peter.burgh, New York and San Fran
cisco. II not the southern but the north

was felt from October into January.
seems to hare passed away, because
everybody 10 struggling 10 get GU, oil

ally willing 10 sell at last years prices,
and it is impossible to get up any spirit Of
speculation. The Legislature Of Maine
have shown a most wise and conservative
policy in checking all attempts a, new
schemes calling for the expenditure Of
money, and posiponing for time the
pr, ,nen, of the state debt. What is
wanted now BY the people Of Maine, is
repose and quiet, after continued stretch
Of credit and Of exer,ion. for te, year.
