BY SARAH L. 1nLss.'
Something tells me to-day, while lying
Alone In my pleasant room,
That my work is nearly finished,
That Home ahall see very soon.
seem to soc faces above me,
Looking down with their eyes Of love,
AS If they were wanting to bear me
Away to mansions above.
Ny hold upon earth seems broken,
A longing, o wish to be free,
A peace like the soft dew OF Heaven
Has fallen this morning on me.
Is He smoothing my path through the
valley,
Am passing away to my rest
Does the music that thrills me SO sweetly
Float down from the Home Of the blestp
Are the gates Of the Beautiful open,
That Heaven seems drawing so near2
Am nearing that dark lonely valley,
And yet have nothing to fear2
feel strong arm underneath me,
And voice falls soft on my ear
"Fesr not, for the waves shall not harm
thee,
For I, thy Beloved, am near"
Ny eye-lids are closing down softly,
The world is passing from view
am launching my bark on tho billows.-
Oh, loved ones, am coming to you.

What Has Become ofthe Con-
stitution.

The Honorable John Quincy
Adams made a speech before
the Constitutional Club of Bos-
ton, on Washingten's birthdy,
in which he reviewed the po-
litical situation, and in. which
he stigmatized in severest
terms the course of the admin
istration. at Washington:
81 mean to say" said Mr..
Adams, land I say it with a
sense of responsibility, that to-
day there is nothing of the old
constitution of our fathers left
to us except what was always
understood and believed to be
a mere incident Of power,
and that is this war power.
The old constitutional edifice
of the fathers was built of
white marble of the States;
which they brought together
voluntarily as a work of love,
and piled UP there one by one,
each in pride and delight, adj
ding stone after stone to the
beautiful and symmetrical edi-
fee under which we all lived.
Bat what is this thing which
we now see there there in
Washington Is that built of
those stones7 Is that put to-
gether by any such bands as
those which cemented the old
capitol7 Why, gentlemen, tits
built of the volcanic lava, but
yet hot from the result Of the
outpouring of the mount, and
it is clamped together by great
bands of black, rusted iron fet-
tors. It's no such edifice at all;
and now we have in the presi-
dental chair a man who, when
he swears to protect and de-
fend and preserve the consti-
stitution, seems to think that
this is the constitution which
he swears to preserve"

How THE GOVERNMENT Is
RoBBED.-"Mack," the Wash
ington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, thus lifts
the veil:
General McPherson's Adju~
tant General, the best officer
of the kind in the service, told
me ofa sundial which had been
constructed in one of the from
tier forts a very plain article on
a granite pedestal-the actual
value of which he has estimat-
ed at SIT. What doyou think
the Government has paid for
it? He assured me he had gone
to the trouble to examine the
vouchers in the Department,
"And," said he, "as I'm a liv-
ing man, that sundial cost the
Government $4,000" / ask
ed how it was done. 81 don't
know" he said, 81 only know
that every quartermaster and
commissary who had anything
to do with the fort owns
a pair of horses, with silver
mounted monogram harness,
and splendid carriages and
stone front houses"

Railroads to Texas.

&OCb444 Oe@NA9 W &OACb0s
Mr. bennett, of the Planters
Banner, discusses the westward
railroads in this manner, in a
letter from New Orleans:
"The city papers say but
little about the railroad move
ments west of New Orleans;
but from information which /
obtained, and which I consider
quite reliable, / conclude that
Houston and New Orleans will
have a railroad connection in
from eighteen to twenty-four
months. But the railroad men
are cunning and non-commit-
tai. I found my belief on in
ferences, not ON positive infor-
nation.
Twill venture a prediction
that the Houston interest will
see that the ears are running
to Orange, on the Sabine, and
to Calcasieu, before twelve
months, aud that Mr.. Morgan
will have cars running to Yer
millionville be fore April, 1871.
Vermillionville is about one
hundred and forty-five miles,
by the surveyed railroad route,
from New Orleans, and Calca-
sieu is about sixty-fve miles
from Vermillionville. This
space is across q level prairie,
and there are no swamps or
bad rivers or bayous to cross.
I am satisfied that Mr.. Morgan
and the parties who control the
Houston end of the road have
all the money they want, and
credit enough to build a rail
road to the Pacific, if they
wish to do it. / believe that
when Houston cars run to Cal
casieu, and the Morgan cars
run to Vermillionville, the
breach between the two places
will soon be closed up.
AS to the Chattanooga com.
pany, they say they will get tc
Houston in three years. Some
people believe they will entel
Texas in two years. | have
no means of knowing wha
they will do; but | am SURE
they will study their own in
terests.
I must say that | am afrait
the Chattanooga company vii
put several thousand China
3 men at work on that road. A
: Morgan's road is graded t.
Washington, st. Landy, he vii
not need many laborers t
!, complete it. But we may loo
! for lively times on both 9
], these roads in the next tire
t years. Attakapas will be stir
ed up from center to circumfel

Origin of the Constantinople Fire.

Further particulars of the terrible fire in Con-
stantinople are at hand. Tho Leuont Times,
which has a very full account of the catastrophe,
says that the day will 60 down to all time as the
most disastrous ever experienced by the Frank
inhabitants of the Turkish capital. The origin
of the fire is now ascertained. A woman had
sent her child up stairs. to bring down a 8 man
gal"-an open vessel containing lighted charcoal,
for the purpose of cooking. The mangal fell on
the stairs, a window-curtain caught fire, and as
the window was open, and there was a strong
wind blowing, the flames soon spread. Unfortu-
nately the house was of wood, and the street in
which it was situated was very narrow, and the
other houses were also of wood. In a very short
time the whole neighborhood was In flames. The
combustible nature of the dwellings that first
caught, combined with the rushing wind, which
carried large fragments of burning matter an in
credible distance, caused the extraordinary spread
of the FIRE. The Leuont Times says that the
flames, instead of rising vertically, were blown
horizontally, and attacked buildings apparently
a long way out of reach. Nothing-not stone
nor iron, still less wood dry as tinder-could resist
these fiery blasts. Iron shutters were red hot:
iron Orders and bars were twisted III all manner
of shapes, and the glass in the houses was all run
into solid masses. Nothing affords a more strik-
ing illustration of the terrific character of the fire,
the Lerant Times says, than the destruction of
the British Embassy, a massive stone structure,
in the midst of a spacious garden, surrounded by
lofty walls, and provided with ~fre-engines and an
abundant supply Of water.

An International Railroad Question.

The jealousy with which the proposed new rail
way through Switzerland is viewed by some par
ties in France appears to have extended to Austria,
for in an article published in the Neue FTeie
Presse it is said Z" In the speech delivered by
Count Bismarck in support of the Government
proposition he said not a word about commerce,
but he did not fail to make it distinctly understood
that it was for purely political reasons that so
heavy a subvention was demanded from the North
German Confederation. In a despatch addressed
to Berne on the 31st of March, 1869, Count Bis
marck declared himself absolutely opposed to the
construction of a railway through the Splugen,
and he added that the North German Confedera-
ton would not give a single thaier toward the
formation of such q line. The two lines are, in
an economical point of view, equally available for
Prussia and North Germany. 1t can, therefore,
only be for strategic reasons that Prussia so earn
estly defends and promotes the Mont st. Gothard
line. A railroad piercing the rocks of the Cen
trail Alps between GoOschenen and Airola, by
means of a tunnel IA 900 metres in length, does
not represent in the eyes Of Prussia a mere COM
mercial highway, but rather the most direct COM
munication with her ally of 1S66-a communica-
ton equally protected against interference from
either France or Austria. The st. Gothard Railway
awakens painful susceptibilities in Austria. The
distrust which Count Bismarck SO clearly evinced
in pronouncing against the Splugen line is to us
Austrian-G Germans somewhat distressing-eyen Of
fensive. The Austrian Government has given
Prussia no means for displaying such excessive
caution, and for employing ali its efforts to
prevent the construction of a railway passing
near to our western frontier. To speak plainly,
it is a piece of reckless selfshness a la Bismarck,
which provokes a suspicion that it is a bad con-
science which dictated this policy. For nearly
four years Prussia has never ceased to accuse
Austria of nourishing schemes of vengeance for
Sadowa. The Berlin Cabinet, however, is too
well informed not to know that this imputation
is unfounded but the contest in respect to the
st. Gothard Railway excites a suspicion that
Prussia desires to continue the year 1866
