BY ANSON G. CHESTER.
The world wants MEN-light- hearted, manly men,
Men who shall join its chorus. and prolong
The psalm of labor and the song of love.
The times want sCHoLARs-scholars who shall
shape
The doubtful destnies of dubious years,
And land the ark that bears our country's good
Safe ON some peaceful Ararat at last.
The age wants HERoEs-heroes who shall dare
To struggle in the solid ranks of truth;
To clutch the monster error by the throat:
To bear opinion to a loftier seat;
To blot the era of oppression out
And lead universal freedom in.
And Heaven wants soULs-fresh and capacious
souls,
To taste its raptures, and expand like flowers.
Beneath the glcry of its central sun.
1t wants fresh souls-not lean and shriveled
ones;
1t wants fresh souls. my brother-GIvE 1T THINE.
If thou, indeed, will act as man should act
If thou, indeed, will be what scholars should;
If thou wilt be Il hero and wilt strive
To help thy fellow and exalt thyself,
Thy feet, at last, shall stand on jasper floors,
Thy heart, at last shall seem thousand hearts.
Each single heart with myriad raptures filed
While thou shalt sit with princes and with kings,
Rich in the jewel of ransomed soul.
From, the Albion American.

Born SIDEs.-In the old time, in Phla-
delphia, the disciples in the faith of William
Penn invariably wore the single-breastcd
drab or snuf-colored coat and were strict
in their notion of having the buttons thereof
on the left side of the coat aforesaid. At
dinner given by him, friend Elias Bearsy
had secured a big buck darkie to "tend
table," to whom he gave an imperative or
der to hand things to the guests at the left
side. ~ $3.50 Ts
"Thee will always know by their coat
buttons, Pompey, which is the left side
Among the guests was a French gentle
man who wore double-breasted coat4-a
worldly garment The darkey, in handing
round the SOUP paused behind the French
gentleman, looked at his coat and stood, for
a moment an ebony statue of despair,
struggling with doubt and plate of soup.
Presently he yelled out, "Mass Lias-its
no use-buttons on boff Sides" and handed
the plate to the French guest over his head.
"Dats de fust time ever seed man dat
was left-handed on boff sides OBJ his coat"

WOULDN'T SwEAR.-A good story is
told of pious old "Auntie' who fled
with her master before the Union troops
in South Carolina. On returning she
found soldier on guard at the gate Of
the family mansion, sitting in an easy
chair which had once been her most
valuable piece of property, "Do you
know dat ar cheers mine, mister?'
Yours Well, if you want it back, you
must go to headquarters and swear to it. y
"Swearp' exclaimed the indignant old
woman; "nobody never catch me
swearin' yet, and Use too old to begin
now. Nobody s,oears except dem as lies, and
| won't swear if / must sit on pine
board all de rest of my daysP And so
she bravely racrifced her chair for a
principle.

SKATING RINK.-At last Portland is to have
skating rink. Not magnificent building,
lighted by thousands of gas jets, with galleries
filled with hundreds of spectators in elegant
costumes gazing upon the animated scene be-
low, but good sensible skating rink that will
afford great deal of pleasure to those who
like good skating and don't care to walk out to
the Basin after it. Er. j. l.. Shaw, the popu-
lar tasso singer, and Mr.. A. M. Smith, the
agreeable secretary of the Haydn Association,
have leased the lot on which formerly stood
the elegant residence of Hon. j. M. Wood, on
Middle street, 15O feet square, have surrounded
it with handsome iron fence, are having it
flooded with Sebago water, and will issue sub
scription tickets and keep suitable police

move in the right direction, and we predict for
them great financial success provided we
have any cold weather this winter.

The PORTLAND Co.-Yesterday afternoon
we had the pleasure of inspecting at the works
OF the Portland Company brass fog whistle
built by the order of Gen. Duane for the Light
House Department. This is the largest whistle
ever manufactured in the United States and
probably in the world. 1t is an eighteen inch
whistle, weighs some 450 pounds and will re-
quire steam boiler Of fifty horse power to fur
nish the steam to blow it. At first General
Duane used cast iron whistles, but they did
not seem to answer bis purpose, and he then
applied to the Portland Co. who suggested that
the bell should lie of brass. So much pleased
was the General with the working of these
brass whistles, which were ten inches in diam
eter, that he ordered one of twelve inches
which was great success. So much so in fact
that the department authorized him to have
one built t,oo feet in diameter. The General
however was little fearful about getting the
steam to work whistle of such immense size
and compromised on this eighteen inch whistle.
1t will probably be subjected to trial on the
Cape next week, and it is expected that it can
be heard as far south as Cape Hatterds.
Among the new work being turned out by
the company is thirty ton freight engine for
the P. & r. railroad, thirty ton passenger
engine for the P. s. & P. railroad, and three
thirty-five ton freight engines for the G.. T.
railroad. They are building cars for the St
Francis Mills and have several Maine Central
engines in their shops undergoing change Of
guage, besides have just completed tue change
of guage on four of the Maine Central engines,
and have sent new engine the past week to
the E. & N. A. railroad at Bangor. They have
also just completed twenty new cars for the P.
& R. railroad, and ne Y locomotive and two
snow-ploughs for the P. & o. railroad. They
are also turning cut large number of the

MEUNG, Dec. 12.-[Special to N. Y. World. ]
Prince Frederick Charles was out-generaed
by Dechausy by holding his front constantly
engaged while he turned his position, and he
now threatens his right flank and rear by send
ing the 18th division of the 9th corps along the
south bank of the Loire in the direction OF
Bios. The movement was executed quickly.
Siuce the 9th inst. the Germans encountered
the 18th corps between Montlevan and Cham
berd and drove them across the river at Blois,
and they now occupy positions commanding
the passage of the river at that point. The Sd
and 10th corps OF Germans continue the pur-
suit of the French towards the south and south
east, but have not vet proceeded in force be-
yOnd VerZsOn and GEN. The reported occu-
patton Of Bourges is incorrect. Spies and
prisoners say there is a considerable French
force at Mere, supposed to be fragments of the
18th and goth corps.

belonging to a firm in Montreal, wishing to en-

in conversation with one of the firm, the only
one in the store at that time, and gradually
drew him toward the front door. After some
conversation the man departed, promising to
call again. After he had left it was discovered
that the money draw had been rifled of the
sum Of $130. Supposing it must have been
done oy an accomplice, while the attention o.
