Song-There is Water Enough.


Come where the bright waters n soft murmurs roll,
Drink health to your body and peace to your soul.
Take the cup OF Thanksgiving and praise ye the hand
Which hath scattered this blessing broadcast DER the
land.
Come and welcome ye thirsty, the fountain is ffee,
Nor money, nor price need a binderanoe be
There IS water enough, yes, water ei ough,
Ye nee not go thirsty, there's water enough.
It springs from the foot of a rock by the way.
And laughs in the sunshiue that kisseJ its spray;
Now il bubbles and sparkes in yon messy dell,
Now it drps from the . bucket that hangs in the well
It tdeseends from the clouds in the soft summer rain
And winds through the meadow It's slvery chan.
There is water enough, yes, water enough,
Ye need not drink poison, there's water tnough
Why weepeth that wife by her comfortless hearth
While the wide world Is tanning with beauty and mrth
o, where is her staff where the strong, manly arm,
Which vowed at the altar to shield her from harm?
Alas, so degraded, so low he's become,
Despisng his birth right he sold 1t for rum
There is water enough, yes, water enough,
lie need not have sold u, there's water q, ough.
Why wander those children through cold storm and
sleet,
Their garments in tatters no shoes to their feet,
Nor shelter, foood on their coming await,
o, what can have wrought them thh pitiful fate'
Homes tender endearmens where, where have they ei
Down the merciles throat Of the drunkard they sped
There is water enough, yes, water enough,
lie need not have drunk these, there's water enough
How wretched the drunkard, how lost, o how lost,
Lies blessings all squandered how fearful the st,
The joys of the hearthside, the gifts of the mind,
Health, wisdom and honor and all that's refined.
Each bright hope OF Heaven that bouys up the soul,
Destroyed by the demon that turks in the bowl.

A. D. HAGAR's FIRST LETTER.

PARIS, France, Mar. 81, 1867.
Editors Rutland He,aa The great
exhibition is the all-absorbing topic in
Paris to-day and will be the subject of my
letter.
Before leaving America 1 had seen a
beautiful engraving of the palace and sur
roundings of the Universal Exposition and
expected at least to see one thing complete
on the Champs de Mars. But in this
have been disappointed. l have not seen
a building and its appurtenances of the
scores that are being made around the
principal edifce that was finished.
Not compartment of the main build
ing that l have seen is yet completed.
Huge piles of boxes thrown together in
beautiful confusion are the most prominent
objects seen. Pits for receiving pipes and
machinery are being dug, walks are being
constructed. floors laid, painting done, ma
chinery cleaned, and indeed all kinds of
busint SIS, from all parts of the world, are
being executed night and day by those who
have the matter 10 charge. But all the
labor that can be expended, even if the
force were increased ten-fold will not be
sufficient TO complete the works and ar
ange the articles for exhibition before Nav.
lst, and very much doubt whether the
work will be finished before July or August.

fault with any of the arrangements of such
an august body as the Imperial Commits

much confusion and SO little system appar-
ent. Perhaps this could not be wholly
avoided even if managed by the best exc
eutive talents in the world, but / am
quite that it could be greatly improved.

1UNE,-SoldisrS' Dream.
He has gone to Lis grave, the poor prisoner of war,
sweet be his slumber and peaceful his rest;
Though his wife and his hidran await him afar
His fpirit has flown to the land or the blesu
At the call of his country he shoudered his gun.
To quell the rebellion he flew to the wars;
lie marched to the notes of the fife and the drum,
And he fought good fight meath the stripes and the
stars.
But the beat of the drum at the dawning Of day.
And the blast Of the hugle will rouse hin no more
No more will he falter or hint by the way,
Or start at the sound of the cannon dread roar.
In the land of the stranger, he quietly sleeps,
Afar from his home, from his kindred afar
But guardian angles their watch ever keep
Around the lone grave Of the prisoner of war.
Then rest, Brother rest till the last trump shall sound
And the Father in mercy shall bid thee arise
And the dead of all nations be gathered around
And the tears shall be wiped from all sorrowng eyes

His election to the U. S. Senate is the
browning act of rateful people, who thus
recognize in him a faithful and devoted
public servant. And having honored him
with the highest office in the state for two
successive terms, they now exhibit then

Since twas her ambition. as well as her pride,
TO consent 10 become Johns dear little tAlacl

And don't it seem strange, in this wedding

That the two Macs and two Brides make but

But more odd still it is. IN law or in fun,

Now hoping that John and bis dear little wife
May happily glide down the smooth stream
Of life,
And that once in a while, or as often as maybe
She win mako him present Of plump
