Both Sides.

A man in his carriage was riding along,
a gaily dressed wife by his side,
In satin and laces she looked like queen,
And he like king in his pride.
A wood sawyer stood on the street as they
passed,
The carriage and couple he eyed,
And said, as he worked with a saw on his log
81 wish was rich and could ride"
The man in the carriage remarked to his wife
Zone thing would give If / could
I'd give all nv wealth for the strength and
the health
OF the man who saweth the wood"
A pretty Young maid with bundle ofwork /,
Whose face "a the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with smile Of delight,
While humming love breathing air.
She looked on the carriage-the lady she saw
Arrayed in apparel so fine,
And said in whisper, 81 wish from my heart
Those satins and laces were mine"
The lady looked out on the maid with her
work,
So fair in her calico dress,
And said, I'D relinquish possession and
wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess"
Thus in this world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time we employ
In longing and signing for what We have not,
Ungrateful for what we enjoy.
We welcome the pleasure for which we have
sighed,
The heart has void in it still,
Growing deeper and wider the longer we live.
That nothing but heaven can fill.

added 10 our empire? The Pacific
railroad will give peaceful employment
to this activity for considerable pc
riod; perhaps. sir. throughout your life
as well as mine. Ii will be within
our own borders, it will be altogether
subject TO our own laws: il will bring
us into collision with no foreign State.
You may safely build this railroad. at
a cost of 500. 600. 900. and employ
one hundred thousand men a year in
the construction of it, and have peace
with all nations; but. sir. you can not
send steamship on a voyage from
New York to San Juan, without in
curing some risk of foreign war.
Mr.. President, If we are 10 secure
the exercise of this activity peaceably
and at home, and in an enterprise like
this of the Pacific road, it devolves
upon Congress to direct it. 1t is
political enterprise. and must be con-
trolled, directed. and sustained, by
some power. 1t is incapable Of self
direction. individuals can not direct
il: commerce will not do il; the States
have become sedentary forces; and the
Federal Government. the common
Government of all the States, which
alone is responsible for this great
work. and alone possesses the power
and can control the means, must secure
to the public activity the needful di-
rection to attain that end.
Ny words are intended. Mr.. Presi-
dent rather 10 bring together. If pos
sible. the friends and supporters of
this measure, than TO win new friends
to its behalf. / have only one other
thought to express. Every Senator
may naturally desire, that when he
shall retire from public life. he shall
leave behind him some monument of
his patriotism, of his wisdom, and of
his devotion TO the interests Of his
country and to civilization. | can
conceive of no monument which would
be at once SO imposing and SO lasting
as single vote cast in favor of this
great enterprise, emphatically the en-
terprise of our country and of our age.
1t was pleasant to me the other day
to see. that when we came upon ques-
;ions of political relations towards
those very distant countries, China
and Japan. there were peace. har-
moliy. and agreement, in the Senate Of
the United States. 1t seems to me
now that this great tract Of unoccupied
lands, waste, dcsolate, stretching
away between us and the Pacific coast.
is so distant from the North, SO dis
tant from the South, so separated from
us, so isolated, so new and strange TO
us all. tha; we can meet there as in a
common field, leaving all our jealous
les and contentious behind US, and
improve it for the common benefit of
our posterity. and for the welfare and
happiness of the human race. Who
ever shall come into that field, in that
spirit, will entitle himselfto the praise
which the Roman historian gave to
that statesman whom, above all 9th
ers, he hoaored and loved: "IIe was
moderate in acting for himself; but.
when acting for the Commonwealth.
was dignified and effective"

Home and Women.

Our homes, Of what is their corner
stone but the virtue of women. and on
what does our social we'll being rest
but our homes? Must we not trace
all other blessings Of civilized life to
the doors of our private dwellings?
Are not our hearth-stones guarded by
the holy forms Of conjugal, filial, and
parental love, the cornerstone of
Church and State; more sacred than
either. more necessary than both? Let
our temples crumble, AMI our acade-
mics decay; let every public edifice.
our halls of justice. and our capital of
State, be leveled with the dust; but
spare our homes. Let no socialist in
wade them with his wild plans of com
munity. Man did not invent, and he
can not improve or abrogate. A pri-
vatc shelter to cover in two hearts
dearcr TO each other than all the world,
high walls to exclude the profane eye
ofevery human being; seclusion enough
for children to feel that mother is a
holy and peculiar name-this is home;
and here is the birthplace of every
virtuous impulse. of every sacred
thought. Here the Church and State
must come for their origin and their
support.
Oh. spare our homes, The love we
experience there gives us more faith
in an infinite goodness; the purity.
disinterestedness, and tenderness of
home is our foretaste and our earnest
Of better world. In the relation
there established and fostered, do VIC
feel through life the chief solace AMI
Joy of existence. What friends de
serve the name, compared with those
whom a birth-right gave US. One
mother is worth a thousand friends.
one sister trucr and dearcr than twenty
companions. We who have PLAYED
on the same hearth. under the lights
OF the same scene and season Of inno-
cence and hope, in whose veins run
the same blood: do we not find that
years only make the more sacred and
important the tie that binds u.s.
Goodness NAV spring up, distance may
separate. different spheres may divide.
but those who can love any thing
who continue to love at all-must find
that the friends whom God himself
gave, are wholly unlike any we can
choose for ourselves, and that ihs
yearning for these is the strongest
spark in tho expiring Affections
