CoUNTIEe WITHOUT RAILROADS. The only
counties in Pennsylvania through which no
railroad passes, and the limits of which are
not likely to be soon touched by railroad,
are Fulton, Forrest, Potter and Greene The
Buffalo and Washington Railroad, now in
process of construction, will approach nearly
to Potter county, while the lately projected
Greensburg and Brownsville road, it 10
hoped, will be extended to Waynesburg, ip
Greene county. There is vast amount OF
railroad work now in progress in this State,
fact which we are gratifed to ascribc to
an energetic spirit Of local development
Thus the ilimitable resources of wealth, as
yet scarcely touched in Pennsylvania, are
to be rapidly brought to light by the genius
Of pubic enterprise.

What charms our sternest season wore
Was never yet the sky so blue,
Was never earth 80 white before.
Till now L never saw the glow
Of sunset on yon hills of snow,
And never learned tho bough's designs
OF beauty in its Leaflets lines.
Did ever such morning break
As that my eastern windows see
Did ever such moonlight take
Wierd photographs OF shrub and tree
Rang ever bells so wild and fleet
The music of the winter street7
Was ever yet sound by half
So merry as yon schoolboy' laugh
. Earth with gladness overfraught
No added charm thy face hath found,
Within my heart the change is wrought,
My footsteps make enchanted ground.
From couch Of pain and curtained room
Forth to thy light and air I come,
To find in all that meets m eyes
The freshness of glad surprise.
Fair seem these winter days, and soon
Shall blow the warm west winds Of spring,
To set the unbound rills in tune,
And hither urge the bluebird wing.
The wales shall laugh in flowers the woods
Grow misty green with lea6ng buds,
And violets and wildhowers sway
Against the throbbing heart Of May.
Break forth, my lips, in praise, and own
The wiser love severely kind;
Since, richer for its Christening grown

The world, o Father hath not wrongcd
With loss the life by thee prolonged
But still, with every added year,
More beautiful thy works appear!
As thou hast made thy world without,
Make thou more fair my world within
Shine through its lingering clouds of doubt,
Rebuke its haunting shapes Of sin;
Fill, brief or long, my granted span
OF life with love TO thee and man;
Strike when thou wilt the hour Of rest,
But let my Inst days be my best F.!

Ho FOR FREEDOM Five hurdted North
ern emigrants week, it is estimated, pour
into Missouri. They take with them. on an
average, $1,000 apiece. Five hundred thou
sand dollars weekly, then, is the revenue
from immigration to free Missouri. This
increase of capital and sinew, of industry
and brains, of intelligence and population,
any Southern State can have the moment
it follows Missouri's example, and declares
for freedom and the ideas which are carry
ing forward this continent. And this they
must do if they desire to grow and flourish.
