Descent Of an Immense MeteOriC
ROly---A Tough story.

Or "Wednesday yesterday morning
the inhabstants Of the towns Of Boylston
and Redfcld, in this county, were
startled BY the occurrence Of most
remarkable phenomoncn-the descent
from the heavens Of an immense meteoric
mass. The body struck the earth be-
tween the hours Of 3 and A. NJ, with
crash that was truly terrific, and the
shock was scnsibly felt andpeople aroused
from their sleep at a distance Of fye
miles from the scene. The body fell
upon the farm Of Horace Sanger, situated
on the line Of Boylston and Redfeld,
striking ina meadow and partly on a
highway. 1t is estimated by our inform
ant to cover about half an acre of land.
The earth was torn in a terrible manner
andlarge fragments were thrown q dis
tame Of wo-thirds of mile. The mass is
very irregular in shape, and rises at
some points to sixty and eighty feet
in heighth, and is supposed to be
Embedded in the earth as many feet.
The surface generally has the appearance
Of iron oar. The excitement occasioned
by the event among the inhabitants was
intense, and the crash is said to have
been terrific beyond description. Many
supposed that the final winding up of
terrestrial affairs had truly arrived.

The West produces all classes, among
whom are not few, who, now occupying
humble stations, have once, in other portions
of the New World or in the Old, occupied
stations Of honor and position. A case In
point that we know, is OF lady who was
born and reared in continental Europe. Her
friends were rich, and she herself was thor.
oughly educated, beautiful aud honored.-
She gave her hand to gentleman who was
in wealth, position, and education her equal.
During the troubles of '4s, the family was
broken up, and she with her husband and the
greater part Of their fortune came to Ameri.
ca. But once in this country, her hus.
band grew dissipated, and at the end Of three
years he died. having spent their entire for.
! tune in gambling and drunkenness-no
even Ind he spared her dresses or jewely.
A few dollars were left her, with which che
came to Dubuque and opened a millinery
store. Sae met with moderate success, and
year or two since moved to city in this
State, down the river, where she engaged in
the same business, and we believe has, I'M
common parlance, been "doing WE'LL" A

a gentleman living ia her new place of resi-
dence, and will probably spend the remain.

Climbing Up.

1t is very cou1nion thing TO Hear people
excuse their want of cultivation, Of educs.
ton. of responsibility, Of reinement-IR
fact, Of ell the qualities that give one social
value and positiOn-by referring TO the many
great men who have raisen from the lowest
round of the human ladder. They point to
Shakespere, Claude Lorraine, Columbus,
Napoleon, and other historica lly famous in
Misunderstanding Horace Greeley-and
trace them back to their early poverty andig.
norance, as an excuse; they say,"Ift these men
came from my class, it must be the best one"
The matter lies in a nutshell. The lowest
circle is an excellent one 10 get away from.
The difference between William Shakeu-
pere and John Smith Is, that William could
not remain in an ignoble position, that cir
cumstunces could not keep him there, while
John cannot elevate himself above the sur.
roundings in which be was originally placed.
1t is no disgrace to man to have ascended
from the lowest and most degrading condi.
ton, but it is an overwhelming shame il he
remains in it when he has such briliant
examples before him. To say that q man
"has had no advantages" is merely to ssy
he has not taken advantage of circumstances.
None Of the great men in history, those
whose names and memories are like shining
lamps. iIlumining the present through all
the mists Of the past, had advantages. -
They seized their circumstances with an
= iron grasp, and made them into advantages
by their own strong wills and superior tai.
= = ent. The same part lies open to all. The
: ladder is hard to climb, wearying to the fee,
and blisterng to the hands but it has been
climbed, and there are many now in the
mire and misery of the bottom round, whoI
y uumind'ul Of blisters or weariness, will at
, tain the highest before they die.

For wisdom has traced what they tell

And you,u find they believe, like bold wooers,

Tho woods have been dense for his axe;
The .tars have been thick for his counting,
The sands have been wide for his track;

And much may be done by relying
