Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the springs run dry
One by one, beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the springs will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain
And the summer sun and dew.
So, in hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs of gladness fail,
And the roses in their bloom,
Droop like maidens wan and pale
We shall find some hope that lies
Like silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes,
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new,
When grief's winter shall have fed,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes offspring
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its blossoming,
In the spirits glorious cline.

Muscular Strength.


The muscular strength of the human
body is wonderful. A Turkish porter
will trot at rapid pace, and carry
weight of six hundred pounds. Milo,
celebrated athlete of Cretona, in Italy,
accustomed himself to carry the greatest
burdens, and by degrees became mon
ster in strength. It is said that he
carried on his shoulder an OK, four years
old, weighing upwards of one thousand
pounds, and afterwards killed him with
one blow of his fist. Hewas seven times
crowned at the Pythian games, and six
at the Olympic. He presented himself
the seventh time, but no one had the
courage to enter the list against him
He was one Of the disciples of Pytha-
goras, and to his uncommon strength
that preceptor and his pupils owed their
lives. The pillar which supported the
roof of the house suddenly gave way,
but Milo supported the roofof the build
ing, and gave the philosopher time to
escape In old age he attempted topull
up tree by the roots and break it
lie partially effected it, bat his strength
being gradually exhausted, the tree
where cleft reunited, and left his hand
pinched in the body of it. He was then
alone, and unable to disengage himself,
died in that position. Haller mentions
that he saw man, whose finger, caught
in chain at the bottom of mine, by
keeping it torcibly bent, supported by
that means the whole weight of his body,
one hundred and fifty pounds, until he
was drawn up to the surface, a dis
tance of six hundred feet. Augustus II, ;,
King of Poland, could roll up silver
plate like sheet of paper, and twist
the strongest horseshoe asunder. a
lion is said to have left the impression
of his teeth upon piece of solid iron
The most prodigious power of muscle is
exhibited by the fish. The whale moves
with velocity, through a dense medium,
water, that would carry him around the
whole in less than fortnight. A sword
fish has been known to stick his weapon
through the thick plank Of ship; a
specimen of such plank, with the sword
of the fish sticking in it, may be seen in
the British Museum.

Mr. G1ddings on the Chicago Nominations
His Characteristic letter to Lincoln.

Hon. J. R, Giddings, as our readers
will remember, was delegate to the
Chicago Convention, and showed great
interest in it's proceedings. After the
nomination, many delegates, who were
going to Springfield to visit the next
President, crowded about Mr.. Giddings,
asking if he was not going to pay his
compliments to the candidate. Mr..
Giddings replied that he being the older
man, Mr.. Lincoln must call on him.
Then being importuned toawrite letter
to Mr.. Lincoln, he consented, and i'm
mediately wrote as follows:
CHICAGO, May 1e, 1860
DEAR LINCOLN: Your are nominated.
You aoiU be elected. After your election
thousands will crowd around you claim
ing reward for services rendered. l, too,
have my claims upon you. | have not
worked for your nomination, Nor fer that
of any other man [ hare labored for
the establishment of principles, and when
men came to me asking my opinion OF
you, [ only told them, Lincoln is an
honest man. All 1 ask of you in return
for my services is, make nsy statement
good throughout your administration.
Yours, GIDDINGs.
Mr. Lincoln was very much pleased
with the laconic epistle, showing it te
many friends and visitors.
