THE CONTRAST.

We sit at home, nor feel that they
Who fight upon the distant plain
Are falling faster day bJ day,
A harvest of the slain.
We lightly walk the busy street,
Where trade and gain roll swiftly on
They march battlefield to greet,
And die as it is won.
The trumpet calls them in the night
To die for Freedom and the boom
OF cannon from the forest height
Still call them to their doom.
Unmoved we read of how they fell
To shield the starry flag from shame;
Doubtless through storms of shot and shell
IL the red battles fame
Brave hearts are beating for US there
Amid the conflicts feverish breath;
This nour. what soldiers hurried prayer
Is said for you in death.
They lie upon the lonely hill
Or blackened plain in dreamless sleep.
Their rest eternal Never will
They wake, like like US, to weep.
We rise each day to weary toll
And hourly strife-their work is done
Their blood will consecrate the soil
Their lives so noble won.

THE New COAL AND RAILWAY Con-

Canal is, as soon as practicable, to be con.
nected by railroad with the richest coal
fields of Mexican county, Pa, should, as
it does, interest every citizen in RocheS.

more consequence to our future prosperity
than any and aH the improvements ever
made which affect our local interests and
substantial progress. This city is now
des,ired to become one Of tie most iar-
portant coal marts in the country.
This important enterprise has been
talked about for six or eight years, and at
last such gentlemen as the Hon. Azariah
Body, Messrs. Fl. Sibley, 6. Fl Mum
ford, John Craig and others. have taken
the matter in their hands and will push it
through without days unnecessary delay
The books were opened few days since.

the stock might have an opportunity, and
although no public notice was given, the

wheG the whole amount was taken aud

greatly disappointed who had expected to
take larger interest Ia the company.
The stock, we understand, is selling at
ten per cent. advance, anu facts warrant
the belief that it will 10 very short space
