A GREAT TnoUGur. There are worse
things than war. Deterioration and moral
cowur1ice are worse than death; aud when it
becomes necessary to die for great truths
and principles, how sweet and how beautiful
is the sacrifice! Let no one imagine that
this is our day of dceped darkness. Twenty
millions of people rising as one man, thrilled
by one pulse, swept BY one spirit of self sacri-
flee, holding right and justice to be dearer
than life, and that life for these may be offered
up. will appear in history as the brightest
omen of the century. Civilization and free
government are not to fail heie, but to come
forth more glorious and secure from trial.
This is the clear pointing Of the finger of
God. and for this he strikes the awful honr
and summons men to their duty. Meanwhile
we hope that from all the affairs of religion
will be brealhcd the holicst selectcst influence
into The cause Of constitutional liberty as the
cause Of God.-Rehsious Mdgo.ine.

OLD WAGONS AND CARRIAGGs.-Almost
every farmer. in the early part of his practice,
is tempted to buy secondhand wagons. old
carriages, ETC., from their cheapness: but if
he keeps correct account Of the bills for
repairs by the blacksmith. wheelright,
painter. and others, he will soon dsco-e
that the first wear Of the carriage is the
cheapest Thus a new rockaway will fire..
quenlly run two, three or four years, with
scarcely repair. and il well cared for, will
seem to be almost as good as new the next
three years will develop rather a different
state of things. Those who have most ex.
pcrience, find it to their advantage to sell
their old carriages before they begin to need
frequent repair. A carriage. like q carpet,
may be worn a long time in good order, but
as soon as either show wear. they are well
sold at half the cost. So says the Working
Former.

Road Making.

The following on road making we find in

many Of Cecil SO we'll that we are tempted to
copy it.
1t is intcreresting to observe the amount of
combined stupidity brought to bear in max
ing our common roads. have often had to
drive up and down hills fifty or hundred
feet high, when road conld have been made
AS short on level by varying the roLtc thirty
rods. Yet twenty-five or fifty teams daily
had TO ascend the hill year in and year out,
as the price OF ignorance. l have known a
road made long and crooked that it might not
cut a certain mans field into two parts
sacrificing the interests ola thousand to the
convenience Vt one. And so far as rep 1iring
roads is concerned, nothing is more common
than to fluid road very bad, simply because
it has been menied.'

The golden flood Of morning light
Through eastern portals shining,
The ltccy clouds that deck the sky
Sutt tingrd with rosy lining,
The wo"dnotes wild OF singing birds,
The insrcis' busy humming,
Tine stirring brcrZe with sweet perfume
From Flura's bowers coming
So like the June Of other years
When in the sun and shadow.
With Mabel tripping 10y my side,
We trod the soft green meadow.
Those hours have fowni yet finger still
On mem'ry's page, bright traces

Her dear old hiding places.

While honcydcw is lying
Deep in the blossoms golden cups:

And brrrzes round his crimson couch
A plaintive dirge are singing.

Sweet angel-voiccs taught her
To look beyond life's troubled sea
To distant lands of glory

The wondrouS mystic story.
And oft with upturncd eyes to meet
The first glad sunbeam straying,
She asked about that tdr-otf home,
And what The winds were say ing.
Ga ne'er again her tiny feet
Will press the clover lightly,
And ser her calm blue eyes will turn
Their gaze upon ME brightly.
From earth her spirit winged its flight,
While angel-voices swelling
In choral notes, her welcome sang
To Heavens starry dwelling.

For grand and solemn was the sound
