from its source, in Itascs Lake, to the mighty Atlantic,
spanned by as beautiful q structure as any that has
been made in the United States, with all the aids that
abundant capital could render. Since the days when
fernando de Soto first bsheld is turoid waters In the
genial south, and Nicollet looked upon the Falls Of Saint
Anthony far in the Northwest, there has been no event
so singular In its character, or so Characteristic OF an
onward and practical spirit as that viii h was honored

to II, 10 that II Ia the result Of individual enterprise, and
the wise ex expenditure Of local capital. No surer evidence
Of the solid progress Of our Territory could he given than
this which a portion OF its citiztn ms has rendered. Saint
Anthony and Minneapolis have reason greatly to be
proud Of what has been accomplis shed, and the elegant
structure which spans the "Fafher Of waters'' win ever
remain a monument Of the liberality, forecast and enter
prise of their citizens.

Retort Courteous,

Tom COrwin, while a member of the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio, brought in a
bill for the abolition OF punishment at the whip
ping post. He made speech thereon, to which
an elderly member replied somewhat as fol-
lows: =.
"Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is not as old as
am, and has never seen so much of the prac-
tical operation of the system of punishment
which he desires to abolish. When l lived in
Connecticut, if fellow stole horse, or cut up
any other rustics, we used to tie him right up,
and give him real good thrashing. And he
always cleared right out, and we never saw
any more of him. It's the best way of getting
rid of rogues that was ever tried, and without
expense to the State"
Corwin rose in reply. "Mr- Speaker, have
often been puzzled to account for the vast emf
grafton from Connecticut TO the West, but the
good man last up has explained it TO my entire
satisfaction" The bill passed without further
discussion.

How the People of England Lived till
I75O.

The Scientific American in its last issue
says:
g" In the days of Queen Elizabeth, substanti-
al diet was confined chiefly to person of rank
and wealth. A plowman was often compelled
to dine on water Cruel. The food OF the labor
ers was course and deficient; their clothing
was incomparably more SO, and their lodgings
were rude, dirty and uncomfortable. The hous-
cs even OF the wealthy were mostly destitute
of glass windows, and chimneys The floors
of the peasents' houses were of clay, and filled
with the accumulated filth ofmany years. The
luxury OF linen was confined to rich and high
born. Their woolen cloth was all OF home man
ufacture. Tea, coffee and to a great extent,
sugar, were unknown. Beer was the universal
beverage. The higher classes of society lived
chiefly on sated meats. The common people
seldom ale meat in any form. The ordinary
fare OF workmgmen then, would produce a riot
IN a workshop now. Potatoes and turnips ap-
peared about this time. In earlier ages the
people fed entirely on bread and meat AS late
as 1859 out of a population OF SIX millions, in
England and Wales, one-half were sustained
by rye, barley and oats Now, the same class
of persons are consumers of wheat. The use
of the potato as the principle article oftood, has
been confined to few districts.

a DREAM OF HEAVEN.
BY EUGENE ST. CLAIR.

I had a golden dream of heaven last night!
The star gemmed canopy was rolled away,
Cleft at its zenith. like two mighty scrolls,
Rich with embroidery, and before me
Lay the dazzling mysteries of heaven
The unknowu land | saw Jehovah on
The great white throne" his brow encircled by
A glorious crown of light, before whose
BriiIancy the consolidated gems or
Earthly dadems would pale like moonlight
In the morn; and high above, the radiant
Bow of Emerald was hung | saw the
Angelic hosts of paradise, their golden
Tresses sporting on the perfumed winds that
Stir the leaves of Eden; the bright stream of
Crystal waters floating on beneath the
Spice-trees bending green, where the redeemed,
Spotless garments, walk forevermore!
Angels of light, upon their glancing wings,
Bidden of God, swept onward meteor
Like upon their mission; and l saw in
My sweet vision, that their countenances
Were brighter than the diamonds liquid
Blaze, or the first beaming of the Morning Star
ANU lhcIc were DlIuS VI SoISSOuS pIuiHdne
perched
On every bough, or winging DER the
Elysan fields their tracklesS way, and
Flowers of gold crimson, and the blue
Which paints the cloudless skies on summer
nights
When starry eyes are keeping faithful watch!
o, beatfc dream! THIS was not all!
Music arose, and on the bosom OF
A breeze from heaven, was waited from
The orchestra of God, down to my rapt,
Intoxicated ear | heard the crash
OF choral harps swept by the master hands
Of angel bards-I heard the glorioHs
Song OF Cherubim and Serap phim-the
Noblem anthem of Etcrnlty--rise
Exultant. like incense rich, around the
Throne, until it died away amid the
Vast and echoing arcades of heaven!
o. dream celestial wilt thou come again!
Touch, o gentle goddess of the dream-and
With thy magic finger, my closed eyelids,
And let me dream my last nights dream once

Notes from Lectures on Physiology, by ChGs.
d. Green, w. d.

Az opinion handed down from rude and igno-
rant times, and imbibed by most civilized ma
tions, has become very general, that the habitual
use of some portion of alcoholic drink, as of
wine, beer or spirit, is beneficial to health, and
even necessary for those subjected to habitual
labor.
Anatomy, physiology, and the experience Of
all ages and countries, when properly examine
cd, must satisfy every mind well informed in
medical science, that the above opinion is alto
ssther erroneous. Man, in ordinary health,
like other animals requires not any such stimu-
lants, and cannot be benefited by habitual
employment of any quantity Of them, large or
small; nor will their use during his lifetime in-
crease the aggregate amount of his labor. In
whatever quantity they are employed, they will
rather tend to diminish it. ,...asaarh f-.
When he is in a state Of temporary debility
from illness or any other cause, temporary
use Of them, as of other stlmulant medicines,
NAV be desirable but as soon as he l. raised to
his natural standard of health, continuance OF
their use can do no good to him, even in the
moderate quantities, while larger quantities.
(vet such as by many persons are thought moo
erate,) do sooner or la;er prove injurious to the
human constitution, without any exceptions.

OF The origin of broom-corn as a cultivated
plant in this country is attributed to DR.. Frank
lin. 1t is native of India. Franklin saw an
imported whisk of corn in the possession of
lady, in Philadelphia and while examining it
as curiosity, tourd seed which he plantl d.
and from this small b'gnning arose this valua-
bic product of industry in the United States.-
In the same manner, England and America are
indebted for the weeping willow to the poet
Pope, who, finding green stick in kasket of
figs sent to him a present from Turkeys
stuck it in his garden at Twickenham, AID
thence propagated this beautiful tree.

What can be done by Strong Knitting.

Mrs. Hogan and her husband were neither
OF them over fond Of work. They were per-
fectly willing to Live upon the generosity Of
their nelghbors, which they were by no mcans
backward in soliciting.
One day Mrs. Hogan dropped into Mrs. Farm
hams, her next door neighbor. lust as the fami-
ly were sitting down to supper. Ofcourse she
was invited to sit down.
" Your tea is very good" said she :" wish
Mr.. ii" gan was here. He's very fond of tea,
but we're very poor, and can't afford to get it
It's So expensive" s.-.a
This hint was considered rather strongone,
so Mrs. Farnham handed Mrs Hogan just as
she was gong, pound parcel.
Thank you," SAID Mrs. Hogan, q" I'm glad
to get the tea, but 'taint of much use without
the milk"
quart of milk was consigned to her charge
"Well, says she, "now II We had some Su-
gar We would be provided"
Mrs. Farnham procured pound and gave it
to her"
"Now," said Mr.. Hogan, we shall stand
chance to have good cup of tea. There is
nothing relished with tea like apple pie, asEMr.
Hogan often SAYS"
This hint was though strong enough to draw
out the article desired. ~
"After all said Mrs. Hogan, as she took
the pie into her hands, "pIe amt pie unless
body had cheese to eat with it. If there's any
thing | love its cheese "
/ 1t was impossible to resist such an appeal as
this. An ample slice having been placed in
her possession, she paused for moment, aft con-
dcrlng whether there was not something else
she might call for. Failing to think of any
thing, she was about to move of, when thought
struck her
These thinks are rather heavy, and 'aint
so strong as | used to be. don't know as
shall be able to get home"
! Mrs Farnham volunteered to send her 81 n
John TO carry part ofthe a,tcles-an offer which
Mrs. Hogan accepted without the least hesta-
tlon. When John had landed his load, Mrs.
Hogan limited that she had got some wood she
would like TO have split, but John dldu't believe
III hints, and left without taking it.
