HELP THE POOR

Help the poor! they need assistancel
Pass them not unheeded by
Exercise a strong resistance
'Gainst useless vanity,
And by acts of moral beauty
'Mong the lowly do your duty.
What are satins what are tattersa
They but indicate the clan;
Fashions raiment only flatters
Outward show and not the man.
Rags are eloquent revealings
OF the crushed hearts bitter feeling.
What is life that we so lightly
Should consider grief ard pain?
Though for us all things shine brightly,
And there's fortune in our train;
Yet the hearts that we have sighted
Have by sorrows frost been blighted.
Scolf not at the suif'ring lowly--s
Rather love them more and more,
Let us set examples holy,
If we would their joy restore;
And our hallowing behavior
VIII be treasured by the Saviour.
Help the poor-the weak and stricken
While they struggle with their fate
While their heavy sorrows thicken-
Help them ere il be toe late:
While their hot tears upward bubble
Let us take them out of trouble.
God of mercy-oh, have pity
On the bleeding hearts around!
On the hearts that in the city
Stung with misery are found.
Look thou down upon the humble,
They who in the darkness stumble.
Help the poor o, show them kindness;
That there is too much of blindness
In the eyes of men below
And by acts of moral beauty
Let us ever do our duty.

Our Railroad.

| We think we may congratulate the people OF
the Valley Of the Shenandoah upon the early
dawning of better day IL their pecuniary for
tunes. We believe we are to have our long
wished for Railroad completed at an early pc
! riod to Harrisonburg. The legislation at the
present session Of the General Assembly upon
this subject acconplshes this result.
The act for the transfer of the Manassas Gap
railroad with its franchises and interests to the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company.
was a great thing for this magnificent Valley
with its teeming and rapidly augmenting pop
ulation and It's almost boundless stores Of un-
developed wealth. 1t is impossible to conceive
what a deep interest this great Valley has in
the speedy construction of our railroad. Tho
Valley, giant in physical strength and re-
sources, will now arise in Its might, and show
what it is capable Of doing. We shall no Ion
ger, if we will exert ourselves, suffer beneath
the grinding heel of poverty. Our lands, a.
mongst the richest and the best in the world.
will now be put up to their highest productive
capacity, for weare to have the means OF trans
porting TO market what we can raise NO man
can correctly calculate or estimate what our
people can produce upon their farms. Even
now, without facilities for getting to market,
we are getting along just about as well as tho
balance of the world, paying enormous State
and Federal taxes, and asking no favors of
either but to be let quietly alone to work out
our pecuniary salvation.
We advise our people to turn their anxious
gaze from the darkened and darkening skies Of
their political future, TO the prospect now dis
tinctly looming up lin the no longer dim distance
of the coming of the "iron horse" If we can
speedily repair our shattered pecuniary for
tunes, as we will do through the agency of our
railroad, we can well afford to stand still nthe
storm and see the internal Radicals dashed
down into the abyss Of the popular indignation
and scorn to which they inevitably hasten.--
Let them establish territorial governments
over us; let them do their worst. We have
survived "the wreck of matter caused by
their war upon us, and we can yet stand the
terrible infictions of the terrtorializing acts OF
an illegal, unconstitutional and despotic Con-
grcss. Our only hope of resurrection to mate
rial life and prosperity is in the fulilment OK
our wishes with respect to our railroad

GENERAL LEE AND GENERAL GRANT.-Ihe
~scov" General Grant was successfully launch
ed at the city wharf on Tuesday afternoon, in
tbe presence of small assemblage of specta-
tors. The General Lee, her or bis companion,
was launched with equal success some days
ago. The two boats that bear these illustTiols
names were built by the city to cooperate with
the dredging machinein clearing out the chan
mel of the Appomattox. With this assistance,
it is said, the operations of the Superintendent
will be much facilitated. We think it prooa.-
BILE that if Generals Lee and Grant were ON
cially Informed by the city authorities OF the
great honor conferred upon them in perpetuas,,
ting their names on mud scows, they would
each make handsome donation to the fund iol d
the river improvement, and relieve the Council
of at least one appropriation for that purpose

THE EEs AND Duck AS EGG pRoDUcERs.-

THE EES AND Duck AS EGG PRODUCERS
4 paper has been received by the Paris Acad-
enr Of Sciences from NJ. Comaille on the COM
narrative value of the hen and duck as egg pro-
ducors His observations were limited to three
hons and three ducks; all fine animals, hatched
., tbe same time in the month Of February.--
During the following autumn the ducEs 'alu
225 eggs; they recommended laying 10 re9lu. :1r-
ary. and continued to do so until the midnle
of August. The hens laid no eggs during tne
autumn, but began in January, and lett OH IN
the middle of August. The total oil each az
the end of that time were-the hens, 25' tho
ducks. 6I7. NJ. Comaille next examined the
nntritive value of each kind Of egg, and iouna
them nearly equal in that respect. Hence.
the duck is more profitable than the hen oy
