strong Ohnrn.,...

Strength of character consists of two
things; power ofwill, and power of self
restraint 1t requires two things there
tore TOR its existence; strong feelings and
strong command over them. Now It is
here we make great mistake; we mis-
take strong feelings for strong character
A man who bears all before him. before
whose trown domestics tremble and whose
bursts of fury make the children of the
household quake,-because he has his
will obeyed and his own way in all things
we call him strong man. The truth is.
that IS the weak man; it is his passions
that arc strong; he, masteted by them, is
weak You must measure the strength
OF man by the power of the feelings he
suDdues, not by the power of those which
snDdue him And hence composure Is
very often the highest result of strength.
Dlu we never see man receive IA
grant insult and only grow little pale
and then reply quietly? That was man
spiritually strong. Or did we never see
man In anguish stand as if carved out
oil solid rock, mastering HIMSELF Orone
bearing hopeless daily trial remain
silent, and never tell the world what
cankered his home-peace? That Is
strength. lie who with strong passions
remains chaste; he who, keenly sensitive,
with manly power ofindignation in him,
can be provoked, and yet restrain him
self and forgive,-these are the stron,
men, the spiritual heroes-heU. +. II.

THE EeYrT or N1ssounI.

We arc now in the center of the Egypt of
Missouri. Travel any way you will and
corn meets the eye. Corn in cribs, corn in
rail pens, corn on the stalk, corn in out
houses, corn in sacks or any way you wish.
In fact the whole produce of the country
is corn. How much WAS shipped away
previous to our arrival is unknown, but
judging from the vas. number Of empty
pens on every side it must have been i'm.
mense, and yet millions OF bushels are uu-
appropriated, and when Uncle Sans bows
want any all they have to do is drive IN
and load, for in nine cases out of ten the
owners have gone no one knows where,
but very likely away down into the heart
OF Secessia. The upper fort, or rather for
tilted camp, at this place, is wholly built of
corn, shelled and sacked in common gun
ny bags ready for shipment, and formed
into a wall, aud the crevices filed With
sand. The wall is about three.quarters OF
nile long, from six to eight feet high aud
about the same in thickness and taking
the magazines, which are built of the same
article. into consideration, it contains
thousands of bushels, and if the rebels
had not been averse to lighting in close
quarters and run to avoid it, corn might
have become as celebrated as a material
for Notifications in the defense of New Mad
rid, as cotton did at one time in the same
business at New Orleans.

The Manufacture OF Tobaeeo--The
Great EstabliShment or Gail q Az,
The manufacture of tobacco is a very
important branch of the great staple COM
merce of the Uuited States. AS few per-
sons are acquainted with it, we propose TO
give description and series illustrations
of it.
The most extensive buildings used for
this purpose in America, is the establish
ment of Gail L Ak, Baltimore. Fronting
on Barre street, it occupies most eligible
position and about the best which could
be chosen for the business. It is in close
proximity TO the shipping and not far dis
tant from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
depot.
The building itself presents a very fine
and imposing picture. 1t is built of brick,
0rnamented by massive blocks of granite.
In Barre street it has a front of one hun.
dred and forty-four feet, and a depth of
one hundred and eighty-three feet.
Attached to this immense structure are
two wings-the east wing being forty feet
deep, and the west wing sixty feet. Sur
mounting the whole structure is a tower or
observatory, to the top ofwhich, from the
ground, the hight is one hundred and thfr-
ty feet. The former is used as the snuff

dwelling for the foreman, &c. In the wes

extensive machinery, such as cutting ma
chimes, snuff mills and cutters. Ascend.

Here are hundreds of boys aud girls at
work, some putting the tobacco in pack
ages, others sealing these, aud, again, 9TH
ers fastening labels, before they are placed
in the large boxes for sending away.
The second st ory east contains the sales
aud storage rooms, for domestic cigars, as
also seed tobacco. These rooms are very
extensive, and are continually filled with
men, who are ever working, either sending
the packages out for stripping or receiving
them fresh from manufacturing hands for
storage,

Several field batteries were thrown into
the river, but they were very easily recov-

the guns captured, except, perhaps, two or
three, were spiked by the rebels before
leaving; but it was SO poorly done that
very little trouble was encountered in. re-
moving them, and as a vast amount of
shell, shot and powder was captured, only
few hours elapsed, after taking possess

midable as they ever were while in the
hands of the rebels, aud far better manned.

New Madrid is town without inbab-
itants. The place is complete desert,
and if the soldiers were away, not a single
human being would be left. Where the
Inhabitants are is an open question but,
perhaps, they are scattered among the vast
sWamps Of this region. The church isnow
a hospital, and the school house q reudeZ-
vous for the patrol. White women and
children cannot be found, aud one or two
of either would make show worth a
twenty-five cent piece to see.
The ornamental trees are all cut down,
even to the rose bushes in the garden, to
give range to the cannon, and q fine grove
has also fallen before the destroyer, for the
same purpose. Many houses have been
burnt or torn down, while many others ex-
hibit huge rents in the walls aud roof,
made by our shot and shell on the day of
the bombardment. The streets and side
walks are obstrueted by great heaps OF
rubbish, while everywhere can be seen bro
ken wagons, Wheel.bsrroWs, torn down
fences, empty barrels, and everything TO
make place des0iate. The sad sight
brings up the question, Who is responsible
for this vast backward step in civilization,

Since coming to this place, many Off
GERS have resigned, some on account of
sickness, and some for one thing and some
for another, and all have been accepted, Of
tered for whatever reason. We have lost
a valuable and efficient officer in the per-
son of Capt. Wells, of Western Virginia,
who resigned owing to his health, and is
now on his way home. Capt. Wells has
been tried out here in Missouri and found
to be the right kind Of a mau-as bold as
a lion. For eight months he stuck to us,
and marched about one hundred miles
each month, when many men, in better
condition than he for marching, filled our
hospitals. The good wishes of the regi-
ment go with him, and may he live long
and peaceful life beneath the old stars and
stripes which he has suffered so much to
sustain.

NY MRS. NJ. A. DENIsoN.
The apples Of New Englandl
How hang their loaded boughs
Over the grey stone fences,
In reach OF the dappled cows;
OF every red checked Baldwin
Hath a merry song to sing,
OF some old moss-rooted cottage,
Where the farmer is a king.
Yes. king of his bursting acres,
Whose grain takes a thousand hues
In the Misunderstanding sunshine
Yes, king In his cobbed shoes;
King Of the sturdy plowshare;
King of the sickle keen;
King over Gods full meadows,
Budding in white green.
The Russotts of New England!
What ruddy fires they see,
Where the crnck Of the veiny walnut
And the crack Of the pine agree;
Where the herbs hang high in the chimney,
And the cat purrs on the hearth,
An the rollicking boys guess riddles,
With many shout of mirth
0 the Greetings of New England!
OF the old Rhode Island stock
Brought from English gardens
TO grace the land of rock:
AS fair as Britans daughters,
AS hardy as her men,
But fairer lads and losses
Have plucked their fruit since then.
o! the Pearman Of New England
With its blended milk and rose,
There's smell of Abion's orchards
Wherever the good tree grows;
A stout old Pilgrim brought 1t,
And to cradle its seeds he broke
The good old soil of Hartford,
BY the roots of the Charter Oak
o! the Pippins of New England!
What lovers smiles they see,
When their yellow coats in letters
Tell tales at the apple bee;
What rosy cheeks at the cuttings!
What kisses in husking time!
That soon lead off to the purson,
Or end in wedding chino.
o! the apples of New England
They are famous in every land;
And they sleep in silver baskets,
Or blush In a ieweled hand;
They swell in delicious dreaming,
On a beautiful, crmsoned lip,
And taste OF the nectared blisses
No love, has dared TO sip.
They 70 to the southern islands,
They 60 to the western wild,
And they tell Of their glorious birth place,
To every frolocking child;
OF the home where men are noble,
And the women ms good rs fair;
0 !! the apples of New England!
They are welcome everywhere.
