THE HOUR.
BY BYRON B. BENTON.

Not for the might of lurid war,
| The cannon's loudest rattle
Not for the scene of fercest strife,
The reddest field of battle;
Shall History point with loving care,
A glory on her pages,
And weave their sweet immortal words,
Poets of coming ages,
Scotland her Wallace brave, who fought
For Freedoms blest frution,-
And SwItzer hearts their William Tell,
Embalm in sweet tradition.
But no fond lips,-a household word
At hearthstone shrines repeatng,-
Shall speak his name who only fought,
A bloody conquest reaping.
knd they who win, but stay their hand
From wrongs that could be righted,
Their triumph's flush defeat shall prove
Their very bloom be blighted.
But for the patriot slain, myriads
Shall bless his fruitless striving,
md bleeding right shall yet be might,
Somewhere on earth reviying.
Poland and Hungary are swept
From off the roll of nations;
And Greece, whom brave Bozzaris led -
Vain hopeless aspirations.
b what availed young Emmet's heart
For Erin warmly glowing q?
And Italy, O Italy
Thy tears are yet o'erfcwing
But weary souls that faint aud burn
Beneath oppression frantic,
Turn toward the last bright beam of hope,
Across the wide Atlantic.
b land of love O land of hope
The hearts Of millions keeping,
Will YOU betray the holy trust
For blessing, curses reaping?
Arise-shake off the viper curse
For light, be strong and daring;
On high, above the conquered wrong,
Your banners glory bearing
Complete the work your sires began
| SO bless the waiting nation;
Your garments cleanse, and write again
The glorious Declaration
And pilgrims who in distant climes
Through burning sands are wading,
Shall not behold the Promised Land
! A desert mirage fading.

vouchsafe me one glance, one smile 7"
"There, then, silly boy y said Char
lotte lightly-"go back to the house and
bring me another shawl--the night air is
chill. I'll wait for you in the arbor here.
AS for your declaration of love, why, I'll
think of it, and tell you when I've made
up my mind ]"
Marions dim eyes could sse him bend
reverentially over Miss Elwood's hand,
just touching the jewelled finger with
his lips, then hurried away. The instant
he was out of sight, Charlotte sprang from
her seat of twisted boughs, and en-
tered the arbor with a stealthy step. Ma
rion covered before her like detected
criminal.
"Well," said Charlotte imperiously "we
are met" This is the first syllable have
exchanged with you since that day when
we were in school together, and | vowed,
as you may remember, to be revenged Oh
you, for cruelty which I canrot yet, nor
never shall, forget. Am l revenged,
Marion Brown
"Charlotte !" said Marion piteously,
"how could you steal his heart away !?
How could you make NE wretched? p
Because" returned Charlotte, coldly,
Tiny VOW was to do that thing !"
"You are indeed avanged p moaued
Marion, "My heart is broken-but vet,
could | be certain that you would be a
good wife, and true to him, as l would
have been"
"Wye !'-repeated Charlotte, drawing
her regal figure up to its full height
"did you, for an instant, suppose, Marion
Brown, that | meant to marry that poor
fool 2"
"Surely you would not wreck his hap
piness as you have wrecked mine Z"
Charlotte broke spray of pink BIOS
SONS from the vine that waved above
them both, and tossed it contemptuously
away.
"Thu. do I spurn his offered love !"
was her only remark. "My mission Is ac-
complished, Marion Brown =
The next morning General Elwood and
his beautiful daughter had left Newport
and not three days afterwards the body
Of Frank Castleton was brought iu by
some fishermen. They had found it float
ing on the tide far out at sea. The cor
oner's verdict was accidentally drowned
while bathing" but none dreamed of SUI
icide save one. Marion Brown had seen
the dreadful pallor that overspead his
face as he read the note Charlotte Ell
wood had left for him, and she knew that
Frank Castleton had died by his own will
aud deed
Thus, Marion Brown mourned life
time for the one act Of glrlish indiscretion
that had transpired in her school days.
As for Charlotte Elwood, one life more or
less, was nothing to her, finished coquette
that she was. She was revenged on Ma.
rion-that was enough

STRONG CHARACTERS Strength oil
character consists of two things-powel
of will and power of self-restraint. 1t re-
quires two things, therefore, for its exis.
tence-strong feelings and strong com.
mand over them. Now it is here we
make great mistake; We mistake strong
feelings for strong character. A man
who bears all before him, before whose
frown domestics tremble, and whose bursts
of fury make the children of the house
hold quaKe-because he has bis 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 are strong; he, mastered by them,
is weak. You must measure the strength
of man by the power of the feeling he
subdues, not by the power of those which
subdue him. And hence composure IS
very often the highest result OF strength.
Did we never see man receive fla.
grant insult, and only grow little pale,
and then rep y quietly? That is man
spiritually strong Or did we never see
man in anguish stand, as if carved out
of solid lock, mastering himself? Or one
bearing hopeless daily trial remain ST.
lent, and never tell the world what can.
kered his home peace? That is strength
He who, with strong passions. remained
chaste; he who, keenly sensitive. with
manly powers of indignation in him, can
be provoked, and yet retain himself and
forgive-these are the strong men, the
spiritual heroes.-ReU. T. w. Robert.

g THIS officer appears to be making most
vigorous preparations for prosecuting the
Indian war; He expects to have 10000
troops in the field this winter and those
who have couversed with him have the
impression that he intends to exterminate
the vermiu. He proposes to build chain
Of forts along our entire frontier from ten
to fifteen miles apart; and, in short, ap-
pears to understand the importance Of his
mission and to be determined to fulfil it.
We have no doubt, but that in short
time j. will be perfectly safe for settlers to
return to their homes everywhere. Troops
are to be stationed at Sank Centre, Paynes.

Our Railroad.

The Directors of the Minnesota and Pa.
cific Railroad met at St. Paul on Monday
and resolved to run their road up Main
Street, St. Anthony and to have running
there in two weeks, to extend the road to
Anoka this fall, and to St. Cloud next
season. Some of the St. Anthony people
oppose the Main Street route and may be
able to compel delay but if not the COM
pany will doubtless carry out the pro-
gramme laid down.
On our late trip down We had the pleas
ure Of seeing the Iron horse on Minneso-
ia soil, snort,ng along before his tender,
baggage car and two passenger cars. 1t
was = welcome sight, but the usefulness
Of the road is very much lessened by its
St Paul terminus being so far from the
business center of the city.
