They tell me Of a better home
Beyond death and tho tomb,
Where contrite spirits ever dwell,
And sublimated how'rs bloom !
They tell me in that happy home
When life's dull lamp shall wane,
nv weary soul will find repose,
And meier tuste death again
They tell me there, smooth and serene,
Lii6's stream forever fowsi
There mid eternity's fair scenes,
The soul more perfect grows
To that fair haven will steer,
NV weak and fragile bark
There land my soul, Gods precious gift,
That neyer-dying spark
In that celestial home, they say
All kindred spirits meet,
To wander on thro' ceaseless time,
Mid angel music sweet
All, then pleasing hope have 1,
Loved ones there to find,
Who were on earth my chosen friends

A gentleman Of Mclean County, ILL.,, sowed
GOO acres with wheat last Fall, the whole of
which he will pillow up this Spring, the severe
Winter having destroyed the entire Fall SOW
ing. He says the 600 acres will not yield 100
bushels. The prospect for wheat in that coun
ty is altogether discouraging. A farmer of
Sangamon County says that from 200 acres
sowed in wheat last Fall he will reap nothing.
The dry Fall and severe Winter killed the
wheat.

"Kansas aid" Societies in the South are ap-
pealng to the pockets Of the people of that
portion of the Union, but it seems, from the
nature of the appeals, to be uphill work. In
Charleston city ward committees have been ap-
pointed to canvass the whole city, fol the pur-
pose of drawing out support for the Southern
settlers in Kansas. The Charleston papers urge
if Kansas is not won TO slavery, Missouri must
necessarily become a free State.

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL or STRENGTH.-The
Troy Times of the 9th recounts u singular trial
OF strength, which toek place in that city on
Saturday evening between James Madison,
''the cast iron man." and Professor Carl, the
s'strongest man in AMERICA The challenge
for trial of strength sent by Carl, having been
accepted, large assembly witnessed the per-
formance.
"Prcyious to the trial, Prof Carl gave an
exhibition of magic and ventrioquism, per-
formed his celebrated guitar and drum solos,
balanced sixteen chairs upon his chin and per-
formed other ieats calling for an exercise of
strength, which must have wearied him some
what. Mr.. Madison then appeared held an anvil
weighing two hundred and fourteen pounds
upon his breast, while two men struck upon it
with sledges; held an anvil upon each knee; |
broke a number of stones with his fist; bent a |
bar of iron Of an inch thick by striking it-oyer
his arm and held an anvil weighing about two
hundred pounds upon each arm, while men
struck upon it with sledges. Prof. Carl then
appeared, held the anvil upon his breast bent
the bar ofiron almost double upon his ARM
held the anvils upon hisarms, etc, for longer
period than Mr.. Madison had done. He then
took the large flint stones which had been re-.
iectCd by his rival, and hammered them to
pieces, Signalling his performance by cracking
in two flag stone about large enough to serve
as a stepping block for door. Alter this he
held one OF the heavy anvils over his head for
| forty one seconds; lifted sixty pound weight
upon his little finger and swung ii around his
| head, and held two men on his hair while he
whirled them about, top-fashion, until their
feet stuck out at an angle of forty-iive de-
gress.
| "Mr. Madison was then called out by tho
audience, and requested to give an account Of
himself. He excused himselfi in the matter of
the stones by saying that his rival was in con-
slant practice, while he had not broken a stone
for year. Being urged to swing the weight
about his head, he declined to do it, on the
score of inability, and as Professor Carl had
not held the anvils on his knee. In short, he
virtually acknowledged himself whipped
man.
Real difficulties are the best cure for tmaei
nary ones; because God helps us in the rea
ones, and so makes us ashamed of the other.
Never despise humble services; when laret
ships run aground, little boats may pull then
of.
The adage of {" Charity begins at home" i
often nothing but handsome mask worn h,
deformed Selashness.
There died recently in the province of wilma
Russia, peasant named Kiawelkis, who ha,
attained the astonishing age of 1877 years an,

a province of Kief, in 1874, at the age of 153
. At dinner table at Chicago lately, a sual
n over two inches long was discovered Inside

ROADS TO THE PACIFIc.-One Of tho great
wants of the country, well made, seryicSble
road to the Paciilc-not railroad for oven
our great progress is not equal to the collosian
task of spanning the continent with an iron
track, but its necessary autecedent, a direct
and well constructed wagon roads likely to
be soon supplied. Congress has authorized
the undertaking aud provided the money, and
the preliminaries are already arranged for the
active prosecution of the work. The expense
will be borne by three different departments of
the government. The Department of the In
terror discusses 100000 for the construction
| OF military roads; the War Department $780,
900 for the digging Of artesian wells, through
which one great terror OF the overland route
will be removed, and the Post office Dqpautll
ment, for the transportation OF the mails oyer
tho new road, will give out S600,00O per an
mum. The government aid to the enterprise
will embrace not only the actual outlay author
ised but incidentally it will assist the progress
Of the work materially. The military forces
passing this spring from the far West To the
Pacific slope, will be the pioneers in opening
the way to the prosecution Of the road, to be
followed by the more careful surveys and ac-
tual location OF the line that will be made by
the civil engineers undVr the direction of the
Interior Department. Once completed. the
despatch Of regular mails by the route will at
tract over it large mass of travel, gradually
marking more dlstrlctly the route over the
plains, valleys and mountains of the contra
continent, locating. along its edges a line O.
| frontier settlGmeT its, and preparing it by ra
pid process, for the final placing Of the iroI
rails, over wb ich locomotives, in less than
twenty years, will pass from the eastern to tn
western side of the continent. The genera
course Of the main road is that of the Memphi
route, marx ed out on one of the Pacific rail
road surveys; it will, however, be connecto
.ka,Ftu all. Ia -.
ton, wit sections of the country north ant
south of that line. The work having once bee
undertaken by the government will no dout
be pressed with all the energy that the inter
ests Of the country require and an unlmte
command ofmeans will justify.
