Portland has completely risen from
the ashes of the great fire of 1865. A
Portland newspaper says that Ga new city

elegant warehouses now occupy waste

magnitude and extent those of any city on
the continent. Capitalists are coming il

and populate our fair city"
While our famed Pacific Railroad is
pushing with gigantic strides across the
continent to our western confines, we
shouldn't be unmindful of the rapid pro-
gress of our railroad connections east
ward. If the one Overshadows the other,
it is simply by reason OF its greater eX-
tent in miles, or the magnitude Of its re-
sources and commercial connections which
it is expected to develop. The Pacific
Railroad adds 1865 miles to our great
Western Railway system, and brings Cal
ifOrnia within seven days of the great
commercial metropolis of the continent.
The link Of about 200 miles, now in Epro
gress between Bangor, Maine, and st. John,
New Brunswick, will unite the New Eng
land system of railway with that of the
Lower British Provinces, which consists of
500 miles of line, either already constructed
or in progress. The first touches the
western limit on the Pacific the other
the eastern boundary on the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. Both together span the con-
tinent. Both will be in operation in 1870.
RICHARD WEAvER.-The New York
correspondent Of the Boston Journal gives
the following sketch of Richard Weaver,
the popular preacher and converted prize
fighter: Richard Weaver, the converted
prize fighter and collier, is one of the
most remarkable men in England. Before
his conversion he was ignorant, brutal,
and terror to his neighborhood His
first act after his reformation was to drive
Bible van within the Enclosure of horse
race, and, taking off his coat and hand
kerchief, he went to work, selling Bibles
and singing sacred songs, undaunted amid
threats of personal violence, till he actu-
ally broke up the gambling booths and
spread CONSERVATION among the jewelers.
He is now one of the most persuasive and
eloquent preachers in England. Popular
alike in the rural districts and in the cities,
he can crowd the largest theaters, over
flow the largest churches, and among the
miners, GOLFERS, and operatives in factor
les, he can count his audiences by thou
sands when he preachesin the fields. His
graphic story telling style of representing
Divine truth, the thrilling personal incl
dents in regard to himself and his expert
ence, his peculiar style of relating anec-
dotes, and withal, his ability as singer,
for he intersperses his sermons with touch
ing songs, MAKE him one of the most at
tractive speakers in England. He wears &
gray suit of clothes that he may not preju-
dice those who will not hear clergyman
preach. His great success has not turned
his head or clouded the simplicity of char
acter which has marked him for so many
years. He has the full confidence of the
churches, and ministers of every name
invite him to their pulpits. A layman of
this city, very devoted and very wealthy,
has gone to London for the purpose of
bringing Weaver to this country Be-
tween Viewers desire and this gentleman's
ability the arrangements will be made, and
Weaver will no doubt be heard by our
people between this and the early spring.
Do IT WELL.-Whatever you do, do it
well. A job sighted, because it is appa-
rently un1mportant, leads to habitual neg
lect, so that men degenerate, insensibly,
into bad wcrkmen.
"That is good rough job" said fore
man in our hearing, and he meant that it
was piece of work, not elegant in itself,
but strongly made, and well put together.
Training the hand and eye to do work
well, leads individuals to form correct
habits in other respects, and good work
man is, il most cases, good citizen. No
one need hope to rise above his present
situation, who suffers small things to pass
by unimproved, or who neglects meta
phorically speaking, to pick up cent
because it is not dollar.
