Oh breathe not that word in this wild strang,

No home for the heart is here,
No home where the strangers voice alone
Falls on the wanderers ear,
'Tis true that the moon in her beauty looks dowr
On no lovelier scene to night;
As river and forest and prnirie all lay
Bathed in her silver light.
Yet in one Of New England's sunniest hooks.
Half hid by an old elm tree.
Is the sweetest home where know full well
At this hour they are thinking of me.
And know as they gathered in joyous mrth
Round the Christmas tree to-day, hear
There's gift on the tree and prayer in tn,
For the friend that is far away.
And would give all of these prairies broad.
That ever the red man roamed,
To climb once more its pine clad hills.
And rest in that dear old home
]. may not be. yet my prayer shall rise
To our Father, the good All Giver,
That may meet them allan unbroken band
Round the tree on the banks of Life's river.

A THING TO BE Proud oF-Buchanan
said the other day, to member of Con-
gress from Alabama, "I cannot say that
| am slavery man, but do say that
| have done more for the South than any
other man living.
This is on the authority of the Rich
mond South. And it is true. Let him
wear the honor-which will soon become
historical and irreversble--of having
done more, and meaner things for the
of bondage, than any other
man of the age. Poor Pierce not ex-
cepted. Let him anticipate the shining
reputation in coming generations. when
slavery shall have passed away, and the
idea of property in human flesh shall be
regarded with adherence by purer and
better race. 1t is his glory. 1t will be
declared from generation to generation.

AMERICAN WATcHEs.-The prediction
of Speaker Banks in his address at the
Crystal Palace, that in America we
should shortly be able to manufacture
watches for three dollars as good as are
now made in England for three hundred,
seems togive some promise of being real
lied.
A watch factory has just been establish
ed at Waltham, Massachusetts,, by Apple
ton, Tracy & Co., where the separate
parts are all accurately stamped out by
machinery and fitted by hand The Jew
els are bored by hand, and the cores
ponding pivots fitted to them by females.
All the watches are made alike, so that
they can be easily repaired, and any part
of one size will exactly fit any other watch
of the same size, so that they can be easily
repaired and re6tted. The simplest kind
of lever watch, without the fusee, is the
form adopted, and they can turn out about
ten thousand per annum.

WRIGHT CoUNTY.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette speaks of Wal
led Lake in Wright county as great Gu
riosity.
1t is in the midst of vast plain-the
rich, gently undulating prairie extending
for many miles in every direction. The
lake covers an area of about 300 acres
The water is clear and cold, with hard,
sandy bottom, from two to twenty five
feet deep, There is strip of timber
about half way round it, probably about
ten rods wide, being the only timber in
many miles. There is wall of heavy
stone all around it.
tits no accidental matter. 1t has been
built with human hands. In some places
the land is higher than the lake, in which
case the wall only amounts to rip-rap
protection. This, believe, is what en-
gineers call it. But in other places the
water is higher in the lake than IN the
prairie outside of the wall. The wall in
some places is ten feet high it is thir-
teen feet wide at the base sloping up both
sides to five feet wide on the top. The
wall is built of boulders, from three tons
in size down to fifty pounds. They are
what is called lost rock They are not
natives . to the manor born There is
no native rock in the region. Besides,
this is continuous wall, two miles of
which, at least, is higher than the land.
The top of the wall is level, while the
land is undulating-so the wall is in
some places two feet, and in others ten
feet high. These rocks, many of them
at least, must have been brought long
dis:ance-probably FIVE or ten miles,
In Wright county the lost rocks are
scattered pretty freely, but as you ap-
proach the lake they disappear-show-
ing that they have been gathered by
some agency-when or by whom history
will never unfold. Some Of the largest
oaks in the grove are growing up through
