Means of the Company.
Estimating the distance to be built by

rate OF about $3.50 per mile, smountingto

Its own First Mortgage Bonds to an equal
amount, and at the same time; which. by
special Act OF Congress, are made a First
Mortgage on the entire line, the bonds of
the United States being subordinate 10 them
The Government makes a. donation Of
1880 acres OF land to the mile, amounting
to 2,O32, 900 acres, estimated to be worth
elusive OF the capital, sll8. $4,000; but the
full value of the lands cannot now be real

The authorized Capital Stock of the Com

The Ohio Democracy.

Undaunted, the Democracy of Ohio
enter upon another contest with the best
of candidates, and steadfastly faithful to
the best of principles.
Jude Allen Thurman, oneof the pat
riotic Democrats of Ohio, an able, upright
man, respected by men of all political
parties, is their nominee for Governor
When quite young man, Judge Thur
man was sent to Congress from the old
Chillicothe District, and being nephew
of Senator Allen, who was then the lead
ing Democrat from Ohio, he enjoyed an
early opportunity to make his mark in
public affairs. His talent IN debate is
considerable, and his learning in his pro-
fession and cut Of tits beyond the stand
ard of our public men.
On the adoption of the new Constitu
ton of Ohio, in 1851, Judge Thurman
was selected, along with such men as Ram
sey, Bartley, and John A. Corwin, to
launch the new judicial system, and was
elected one of the Judges of the State
Supreme Court. Retiring from the bench,
he removed to the capital OF the State,
where he had been employed in all the
principal cases that have arisen in that
part of the country. He has hitherto re-
fused all public Office, but has nowhere
failed in jealous, fearless, and dignifed
upholding of Democratic principles. He
traversed Ohio in 1868 with Pugh and
Cox, at the risk of his life, defending the
rights and liberties of his fellow-citizens
against the clamor of an infatuated ma
jority and the practical despotism Of pub
lie servants elected to administer the
Government. and not to prostitute its
power. Such is the man whom the DEM
ocrats of Ohio will endeavor to elect to
their gubernatorial chair. No Ohioan of
any party but will say that Judge Thur
man would dc honor to it.-N. Y. World.

immortality of Love.

never saw man who did no. believe
in the immortality of love when follow
ing the loved one to the grave. | have
seen men under other circumstances that
did not believe in it, but never saw man
that, when looking upon the form of one
that he really loved stretched out for bu-
rial, did not revolt from saying, "It has
come to that; the hours of sweet compan-
ionship, the wonderful interlacings Of
typical souls, the joys, the hopes, the
trusts, the unutterable yearniugs-there
they all lie." No man can stand and
look into coffin upon the dead body of
fellow creature, and remember the fla
ming intelligence, the blossoming love,
the whole range oe divine faculties, which
SO lately animated that cold clay and say,
"These have all collapsed and gone. -
No person can witness the last sad cere-
monials which are performed over the re-
mains of human beiug-the sealing of
an unopened lid, the following of the rum
bling procession to the place of burial,
the letting down Of dust unto dust, the
falling of the earth upon the hollow cof-
fin, with these sounds that are worse than
thunder, and placing the green sod over
the grave-no person, unless he be a beast,
can witness these things, and then turn
away and say, Il have buried my wife; |
have buried my child; l have buried my
sister, my brother, my love-" God for
bid that we should bury anything. There
is no earth that can touch my companion.
There is no earth that can touch my
child. l would fight my little strength
away before / would permit any clod to
touch them. The jewel is not in the
ground. The jewel has dropped out of
the casket, and have buried the casket
not the jewel. And you may reason,
you may say what you please, you may
carry the case before the supreme court
of my understanding. All that is in me
revolts at the decision and spurns it, and
says, "You must try heart cases before
the heart. We will not believe but there
is life somewhere else; we will not believe
that life is buried here; and the soul goes
out and cries, like child lost in the
woods, to find itself in this strange world

guide me, that long and yearn and reach

organized, active, earnest, resolute, and
persevering. If defeated to-day, you
must buckle on your armor again to- NOR

Your safety, the safety of the whole

strength, and show it in solid organiza-

yourselves resolved to maintain them.
Do this, persevere in doing it,and your
enemies will not dare to proloug usurpa-

Only One Brick Upon Another.

A boy watched large building,as the
workmen from day to day carried up
bricks and mertar.
"My SON." said the father, "you seem
taken with the bricklayers. Do you
think of learning the trader"
"No, sir; was thinking what little
thing brick is,l and what great houses
are built by laying one brick on anoth-
er."
"Very true, my son; never forget it.
So it is in all great works. All your
learning is one lesson added to another.
IF man could walk ali around the world,
it would be by putting one foot before
another. Your whole life will be made
up of one moment upon another. Drop
added to drop makes the ocean. Learn
from this not TO despise little things. Be
not discouraged by great labors. They
become easy if divided into parts, You
could notjump over a mountain, but step
by step takes you ITO the other side. Do
not fear, therefore, to attempt great
things Always remember that the large
building went up only one brick upon
another"

That she is as old as she looks.
That she has been more than FIVE min
utes dressing.

the wide worlds in love.

Tha. she can do with one single thing
less when she is about to travel.
That she has not the disposition of an
angel, or the temper Of saint, or how
else could she go othrough with one half
of what she does
That she dosn't know better than any
one else what is best for her.
That she is hirt or coquette.

AN OLD MANS ADvIcE.-Never at.
tack the guilty where, by misdirected
or too hasty blow, the innocent, the gal.
lant and the good may suffer. Never at
tempt to expose villain if your efforts
in so doing are likely to injure the un-
suspecting dupes of his artifce. Never
wager more than you carry in your pock-
ct. Never shake hands with man if you
are not glad to see him. Never forget
when you meet,to recognize your friends,
and be ever more careful to offer your
salutations to those who are poor. Never
run extravagantly into debt, for it is the
hy-path which leads to moral destruction.
Never quarrel without sufficient cause,
but, ifit be necessary you take up quar-
rel, then see that you quarrel firmly to
the end. Never betray the confidence Of
any one, especially of woman.

sEA.A new way of keeping warm has
been put in practice, and with good effect.
1t is to have a buckwheat cake made
large enough to cover the bed like quilt,
and spread over it "piping hot" about
the time Of retiring. When made of
the proper thickness, it retains the heat
until morning, and then, if a person is
too lazy to get up, he can make very
good breakfast by eating of the edges as
he lies.

In the bonds of affection and love;

Once wretched and poor,
And there for admission stood.
By the help Of a friend,
Who assistance did lend,
I succeeded an entrance to gain;
Was received in the West,
By command from the East,
But not without feeling some pain.
Here my conscience was taught
With moral quite fraught
With sentiments holy and true;
Then onward travelled,
To have it unraveled.
What Hiram intended TO do.
Very soon to the East

And "light" by command did attend;
When lol | perceived,
In due form revealed,
A Master, and Brother, and Friend.
Thus far hava stated,
And simply related
What happened when was made free;
But I've "passed" since then,
And was ''raised" up again
To sublime and ancient degree.
Then onward I marched,
That might be "Arched,"
And find out the treasures long lost;
When, behold bright fame,
From the midst of which came
A voice, which my ears did accost.
Through the ''veils" l then went,
And succeeded at length
The "Sanctum sancsorum''to find;
By the "signet" gained,
And quickly obtained
Employment, which suited my mind.
In the depths l then wrought,
And most cheerfully sought
For treasures long hidden there;
And by labor and toll,
discovered rich spoil,
Which are kept by the craft with dr
Having thus far arrived,

Among valiant Knights to appear;
Aud as Pilgrim and Knight,
stood ready to fight,
Nor Saracen foe did l fear.
For the widow distressed
There's chord in my breast;
For the orphan and helpless ! feel;
And my sword could draw
To maintain the pure law
Which the duty Of Masons reveal.
Thus have revealed
(yet wisely concealed)
What the ''free and accepted" well kno,
am one of the band
Who will faithfully stand
As brother, wherever go.
