ciple, making the participial existence of this
form of the verb depend entirely upon fo,n,
when, in reality, it is not the form that infu
ses into it its participial existence, but the
manner in which it is expressed of its sub
Ject. Whenever this form of the verb is dE
frmed or predicatcd of its subject so as to
constitute complete proposition, it is then a
verb and cannot possibly be any other part of
speech; because it does the very thing that
the whole Grammatical world, and Mr. la

on the contrary, whenever this form of the
verb is assumed of its subject, so as no. to
constitute complete proposition, it is then a
participle, and cannot possibly be any other
part OF speech; because it performs the very
identical Office that the whole Grammatical
world and Mr.. LAMAR besides, tell us the
Participle performs. Itis an impossibity in
the fourth and last place, because when this
form of the verb assumes its partcpial life;
1t has passive Specification, and it's time is
always that of the principal verb in the sen

The Game of Life.
NY ELIZA COOK.


With eager hand Hope deftly weaves
The mantles that our pride would don,
While busy Fingered Care unreaves
The garments we put them on
We rear our palaces of JOY
And tread them with exulting shout
Till, crumbling round, it's plainly found
Some corners stones have been left out,
And thus we play the game of Life,
Shadow and substance ever blending;
Mid howers of Peace and tears of Strife
Gaily beginnings ending.
The maiden greets her swain to day
They jar to morrow and she houts him
Now she believes whate'er he'll say
month has gone-aas she doubts him;
The lover hangs upon glance.
with glowing trust and earnest sueing;
Next ycer he rouses from his trance.
And scorns tho one lie late was wooing
And thus we play the game of Life,
Our dreams diSpelpd. our plans defeated,
And when we've lost with pain and cost
Still stand, as ready to be cheated
The cooling infanrs'rosy mouth
APPLY receives the sweeten'd portion;
when waves arc calm, and winds are South,
-, none sec the dcath-rocks in the ocean
The rich man tolls to "gnther up"
Meaning to bask in Fortunes clover.
And while he pours into his cup
Pcrceives not it is running over.
And thus we play the game of Life
Now sisnply shared, now wisely brooding,
Now bribed by smiles now spreading wilcs,
Living deluded and deluding.
The Poet rrattles to the stars,
Philosophers disscct the thunder,
Both, both arc stoppd by crystal bars.
And stand ,side to watch and wonders
We 'moralize on battle plains
Where blood has poured, and fame was won
We turn and see the baby's glce
Over his mimic sword and gun
And thus we play the game OF Life.
'Twixt holy Thought and fearful Deed.
Some only stay to work and pray,
And some but live for Crime and Grocd
Our feet Of clay trip up each ofl,cr.
cur wings oi ether seek the sky;
We breathe-wO nrc--chd follows mother.
Yet none can tell us - How 2" or Why ?"
Onr hearts like clocks keep ticking fast.
We climb and laugh we fall mud weep;
Till. tired of guessing, at the last
We solve the riddle in sleep
And thus we play the game of Life
IN motley garbs of Grief and Pleasure,
fill we are dressed in TINT green vest
For which tile sexton takes our measure

the prices at which the Bonds may be sold
by the Company for the payment of the cost
of the road (the wholesum estimated at 50 ,000,-
O0O,) would have to be supplied. He rep
resented that aid could be expected from the
States of Georgia and North Carolina, the
former of which has rival road completed,
and the latter has expended large amount
and is expending more towards the completion
of a competing road through it's own limits
that more aid might be hoped for from Ten
nessec, but that South Carolina should be
prepared, in the last resort, to supply the
deficiency. He further advised that unless
the people of the State were prepared to do
so they should at once stop any further ex-
penditure upon the road"
In the report of 1858, you will also find
this passage
On this subject (of aid to the road) tho
Company can approach the Legislature with
confidence" "Two years ago the Legisla-
turc was apprised that the road could not be
completed unless its construction was assum-
ed by the State and suspension of the
work was advised, unless the State was pre-
pared to provide the sum necessary for its
completion. If resolution had then been
passed declaring a want Of confidence in tho
enterprise, the work would have been sus-
Ponucu pluCc InaC Ulllle !nllll0n OF dollars
have been expended, fruitlessy, if the State
does not grant the Company's petition
From the naction o. the Legislature, the
Company was justified to infer acquicsccnce
in the claim of which they were notified and
certainly the directors were not authorized to
arrest the construction of the road"
have thus, as [ hope, indicated the Off
GERS of the Company from your charges of a
violation of the charter and lad faith, and
have on the latter charge even exceeded the
limits of strict defence, in order to exhibit
the conscientiousness and candor in the ex.
ecutlon of their trust. l repeat, that in one
respect | do not regret your attack since it
has turnlsed an occasion TO present to public
attention the conduct of the officers of the
Company in light which, hope, will be
satisfactory. Your accusations have produc-
ed no irritation. My only regret is, that you
should, on such groundicss charges, have ap-
peared as the public accuscr of the officers
They had hoped for more charity from you,
and even warmer and more gracious senti-
ment towards them. If, in the course of
this defence, [ have used any expressions
which may seem to be wanting in respect for
you, L did not so intend. [ have long es-
teemed your good sense and generous tenn
per But fear your anti-Blue Ridge furo,.
has prevented them both, so far as that en-
tcrprisc is concerned

Since the adjournment of the Charlotts.
vile Convention the great work has been
nobly begun, and from this time onward will
continue until Virginia sends greeting, in
November, to her sister States, that she has
again, as so often in the past, overthrown the
enemies of the South and their deluded and
mistaken allies
!" Mr. Douglas stumping visit to Virginia
Will do much good to the Democratic party.
The office of President is held in such high
esteem by the people of Virginia, is regarded
so far above the stump, that disgust and con-
tempt has ever attended those who sought to
degrade it to the vulgar level of al election
eering tour.
1t is an unaccustomcd sound for Demo
Gratis to hear their party friends abused and
villlhed as MIR. Douglas is doing, while he has
no word of condemnation for Lincoln. He is
doing faithfully the work of Black Rcpubli-
can emissary. He utters no uncertain sound.
The defeat of the Democracy, and the triumph
of Lincoln, are objects which cause him to
stump the country. In none of his speeches
has he uttered sentiment against MIR. Lin
coln-in all, he has shamefuly and falsely
assailed the men whose support he but recent
ly sought. The people of Virginia are not
blind enough not to see that Mr. Douglas
conduct is giving aid and comfort to Lincoln,
and his friends in Virginia-true and faith
ful sons of the old State-will never follow
him, leading, as he does, to Black Republi
canism"

The WhiSsEer's Tune.

Supper was over, the boy went out,
He passed thro' the yard and over the stile :;
The big dog barkcd as he went along by,
And followed him nearly Il mile.
And he sat him down on a hickory log,
And whistled lively tune, this boy,
Which took the ear of the barking dog,
And he wagged his tail for JOY
The beetle stopped from pinching the f1y,
And the toad in his hole stood STILL
And the tom-tit heard with a tear in his eye,
And fshing-worm in his bill.
And the grasshopper said, Il know that air,
But cannot whistle it So
The tune of the man with no hair on his head,
Where hair always ought to grow"

And when thou can'st catch me again,
AS last night, on d desperate bender,
Once more I'll submit to thy chain.
The fact IS, dear Fanny, I'm human,
Very weak I may say, on ''spree !;
And no matter of what sort the woman,
I'm her slave if she cottons to me.
But this curs'd sobriety ever
Undoes every chain of delight,
And my memory, by daylight, has never
ANY sense of what takes place by night.

First LocCIHofi. In America.

Major Horatio Alien, the engineer Of
the New York and Erie Railroad, in a
speech made du ing the recent fes;al occa-
sion gave the following account Of the first
trip made by a locomotive ca this CONT
ncnt.
when was it? Who was it? And
who awakened its energies and directed its
movements? 1t was in the wear 1873. on
the banks of the Lackawaxen, at the COM
mencement OF the railroads connecting the
canal of the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company with their coal mines-and he
who add: esses you was the onl y person on
that locomotive. The circumstances that
led to my being alone on the engine were
these: The road had been built in the
summer. The structure was of hem!ock
timber, and the rails OF large dimensions.
noiched on caps placed far apart The
timber had cracked and warped from ex-
/ posure 10 the SUM- After about three
hundred feet OF straight line, the road
crossed the Lackawaxen creek on trestle
work, about thirty feet high. with curve
J OF 800 to 4uu feet radius. The in preston
was very general that the iron monster
would either break down the road, or it
would leave the track az the curve and
plunge into the creek. My reply to such
apprehensions Was. that it was too late to
consider the probability of sucn occurren-
ces; that there Was no other course than
10 have trial made of the stran.e animal,
which had been brought there a. great ex-
pense; but that it was not nlccssary that
more than one should be involved in its
fate; that l would take the irst ride alone,
and the time would come when L should
look back 10 rhe incident with great inter-
est. As | Ilaced my hand On the throttle
valve handle | was undecided whether 7
would move slowly or with a fair degree
o!speed; but believing that the road would
prove safe, and preferring, If We did go
down. TO go handsomely, and without any
evidence Of timidity, l started with con-
siderable velocity, passed the curve over
the creek safely, and was soon cut of hear
ing Of the vast asse.nbla-e. At the end
q. twy or Inree miles | reversed the valve
and returned without accident, having
thus made the first railroad trip by loce-
motive, on the Western hemisphere"
The above statement of Major Allen
. shows that locomotives were introduced
into this country earlier than is generally
: supposed. In report of the New York
State Engineer, made in 1855, it was sta
, ted that the first railroad constructed In
the United States, was the Quincy Mass.
| Railroad, built in 1927. The first passsu.
ger railroad was the Baltimore and Ohio,
| which was opened with horse power for 5
miles, in 1886. he Mohawk and Hudser
; River Railroad was opened for public
travel, with horse power, IN the summer
: of 1881. Locomotives we're first used II
this country in 1881, on the Mohawk aaS
| Hudson Railroad. and in 1882, upon tn,
V Baltimore and Ohio, and on the Soul
I Carolina Railroad. In 1928 there yer
+ hut three miles OF railroad in the Upite,

For three days lie had been completely

asked my dear DR.. Webb if he could Go
anything to relieve the poor animal
The Doctor said he would try nitrate of
silver, which was a remedy commonly
applied to similar diseases in the human
eye The huge animal was ordered to
lie down, and at first, on the application
cf the remedy, RAISED Il most extraordina-
ry roar at the acute pain which it occa-
stoned The effect however was wonder
ful. The eye was il Il manner restored,
and the animal could partially see. The
next day when he was brought, and heard
the Doctors voice, he laid down of HIM
self, placed his enormous head on one
side. curied up his trunk. drew in his
breath, just like man about TO endure
an operation, gave 4 sigh OF relief when
it was over, and then, ly trunk and ges-

How TO TAKE LIFE.-Take it just as
though it was-as it ls---an earnest, vital
and important affair. Take il as though
you were born to the task of performing a
merry part in it, as though the world had
waited for your coming. Take it as tho
it was Il grand opportunity to do and TO
achieve, to carry forward great and good
schemes; to help and cheer suffering,
weary It may be, heart-broken brother
The fact is, lie is undervalued by great
majority Of mankind. 1t is not made half
so much of as should be the case. Where
is the man or woman who accomplishes
one title of what might be done Who
cannot look back upon opportunities lost,
plaus unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspi-
rationS unfulfillcd, and all caused by the
lack of necessary and possible effort. If
we knew better how to DO and TO make
the most OF it, it would be better than it
is Now and then a man stands aside
from the crowd. labo-s earnestly, stead
fastly, confidently :, aud straig ghtway becomes
famous for wisdom, intellect, skill, GREAT
ness of some sort. The world wonders
aimires, ido!izes, and it only illustrates
what others may do, if they take hold OF
life with purpose. The miracle of pow,
er that elevates the few is to be found in
their industry, application and perseve
rance, under tne promptings Of a brave
determined spirit.
