The Foundation of Character.

The groundwork of all manly charac-
ter is veracity. That virtue lies at the
foundation of every solid. How common
it is to hear parents say, 81 have faith
in my child so long as he speaks the
truth. He may have many faults, but
know he will not deceive me. l build
on that confidence. They are right. 1,
is lawful and just ground to build up
on. And that is beautiful confdente.
Whatever errors temptation may betray
a child into, so long as brave, open truth
remains, there is something to depend
on-there is anchor ground-there is
substance in the center. Men of the
world feel so about one another. They
can be tolerant and forbearing so long as
their erring brother is true. 1t is the
fundamental virtue. Ordinary commerce
can hardly proceed a step without good
measure of it. If we cannot believe
what others say to us, we cannot act up
on it, and to an immense extent that is
saying that we cannot act at all. Truth
is common interest. When we defend
it, we defend the basis of all social or
der. When we vipdicate it, we vindi-
cate our own foothold. When we plead
for it, it is like pleading for the air oi
health we breathe. When you under
take to benefit lying man, it is like
putting your foot in the mire-F d.

The day is breaking in the East Of which the
prophets told,
Now brightens up the sky of Time the Chris
tian age Of gold
Old Might to Right is yielding, battle blade to
clerkly pen;
Earth's monarchs are her People, and her serfs
stand mp as Men;
The isles rejoice together, in day are nations
born,
And the slave walks free in Tunis, and by
Stamboul's Golden Horn
Is this, o countrymen Of mine a day for us
to SOW
The soil Of new gained empire with Slavery e
seeds of woe!
To feed with our fresh life-blood the Old
Worlds cast-off crime,
Dropped, like some monstrous early birth from
the tired lap of Timer
To run anew the evil race the old lost nations
And die, like them, of unbelief Of God and
wrong Of man?
Great Heavens is this our mission Z Ends in
this the prayers and tears,
The toll, the strife, the watchings of our young
er, better years
Still, as the Old World rolls in light, shall ours
in shadows turn,
A bcamless chaos, cursed Of God, through out
er darkness borne
Where the fair nations looked for light, black
ness in the air ?
Where for the words of hope they listened, the
long wall of despair
The crisis presses on us face to face with us
it stands,
With solemn lips of question, like the sphinx
in Egypt's sands!
This day we fashion destiny, our web of fate
We spin;
This day for all hereafter choose we holiness or
sin;
Even now. from starry GerizIm, or Ebal's
cloudy crown,
We call the dews Of blessing or the bolts OF
cursing down!
BY oil for which the martyrs bore their agony
and shame;
By all the warning words of truth with which
the prophets came
BY the future which awaits us by all the
hopes which cast
Their FAINT and trembling beams across the
blackness of the past
And in the awful name OF Him who for Earth 5
freedom died
Dye People Omy brothers let us choose the
righteous side!
So shall the Northern pioneer 60 joyful on his
way,
To wed Penobscot's waters to San Francisco
bay;
To make the rugged places smooth, and SOW

And bear, with Liberty and law, the Bible in
his train
The mighty West shall bless the East, and sea
shall answer sea,
And mountain unto mountain call PRAISE

The BEEF EATEN IN New York CRY

The BEEF EATEN IN New York CRY.
1t is printed in a metropolitan ex-
change, that the Annual Cattle Statistics,
show the capacity Of the people OF New
York city to swallow annually over 15O,-
100000 pounds of beef alone, at cost
to the butcher of at least $12,OOO,OOO.
The number of beef cattle received dur
ing 1860 was 226, TAI head the average
weight dressed was to IA cwt. The
average price was S8,l5 per cwt., which
is at least one cent per pound cheaper
than in 1859, and one aud half less
than in 1858. The total number of live
stock slaughtered last year in this city
was 1,107,882 head. If they were pla-
ced together compactly on road of 10
feet in width, the mammoth drove would
cover 22O miles.

A Great Bore.

The Vermont and Canada railroad is
being constructed through sand bank
at Burlington, Vt. An earth tunnel Of
800 feet in length is to be carried IS
feet below the surface. The work is con-
Quoted by boring. With long augers,
holes are bored horizontally into the
sand, into which wooden pickets, about
two inches thick by three inches wide,
and eight feet long, are driven, touching
each other and forming an arch of some
what larger diameter than the bore OF
the contemplated tunnel. From under
this arch the earth is excavated, leaving
a semi-cylindrical hole, about six feet
high in the middle. This oyen-like ex-
cavation. or " heading" is pushed for
ward. keeping about 80 feet in advance
Of the main excavation below. AS the
sand is removed from under the plckets,
wooden arches, three feet apart, are
sprung under to support them, and as
fast as necessary new sets Of pickets are
driven under and in advance OF those al
ready driven. The earth once removed
from the low arched heading" it is a
simple matter to cut down the nearly
perpendicular sides, curb them with
beams and boards, and to dig out and
remove in cars the sand between them.
The wooden arches are supported, as
they are reached, by "shores'' on the
grade below, and all danger of " "caving"
is thus effectually guarded against. This
work is mainly done by day. By night
the masons follow, and build within the
bore substantial arch of brick work, in
horse-foot shape. This rests ON the bot.
tom on heavy blocks Of stone, which in
turn rests on foundation of concrete
masonry. The arch is two feet thick,
formed of six courses of brick, laid in
mortar, which is made with the Wealth.
ersfeld (Vt.) black lime, which forms a
remarkably adhesive mortar. The d.
mensions Of the bore are 134 feet at the
bottom, Is feet at the widest part, and
lst feet high. 1t will accommodate a
single track only.
