across the Neosho. opposite Emporia, has
been given to MrsJohn Hammond of this
place, by the Directors of the Neosho Bridge
Company The Bridge is to be 200 feet
long with a single span, or arch of $50 feet

for new subscriptions to the stock of this
bridge. No man who has any. interest here
at all, will fail of being benefueda by this
enterprise and should contribute of his

grapes come not to the proof till they come to

Young trees root the fastest for shaking vines

condition of all Gods children : they are most
triumphant when they are most tempted !
most glorious when most afflicted most in
favor of God when least in mans. As their
conflicts, so their conquests as their tribula-
tions, so their triumphs. True salamanders,
they live best in the fire OF persecution so
that heavy affections are the best benefactors
to heavenly affections. While Affections hang

Earth's pleasures pass away;
They rest on times resistless tide,
And cold are while they stay.

Like stars that gild the night,
Amidst the darkest gloom Of woe,
Shine forth its sweetest Light.

But DER the Christians soul
It sheds rafiance calm and pure,
Though tempests round him roll;
This heart may break meath sorrows stroke,
But TO its latest thrill.
Like diamonds shining when they're broke,
That ray will light it still.
