About Ben Adhem (may his tribe inereaseD
Awoke one night from deep dream OF peace,
And saw within the moonlight of his roons
Making II rich and like q lily In bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold:
Exceeding peace bad made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the Presence in the room he said,
" What writest thout" The vision raised his head.
And, with look made of all sweet accord,
Answered, The names of those who love the Lord.
" And lie mine one I" said Abou. Nay. not 50,
Replied the angel. Abou spoke moro low,
But cheerly still, and said, :" ! pray thee. then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow men"
The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
1t came again, with great Weakening light,
And showed the names whom love ofGcd had blessed
Ard, 10 Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.

A wONDERFUL MICROSCOPE.

Rev. Daniel Wise, ID. D., editor Of the
New York Sunday School Adrocatc, thus
speaks Of the celebrated Craig Microscope;
ats simplicity, cheapness and great mag
nifying power struck me with surprise
Then was examining q 6y's eye by its
aid, and was struck with wonder at the
skill and power Of the Creator which Is
displayed in its structure. When ! saw n
statement in an advertisement that the
Craig Microscope magnifed one hundred
diameters, and could be bought for 81 30,
thought II was one of the humbugs of the
hour, for had paid $40 for microscope
not long before. But now / find 1t to be
really valuable instrument which 1
should like SEQ introduced into the families
Of our readers in place Of the manifold
useless toys which please for an hour and
are then destroyed. This microscope
would both amusc and instruct them and
advise every boy and girl who wishes To
know the wonders which lie in little things
to save his money until he has ~ 20,
which will pay for the microscope and the
postage when sent by mail
As holiday gift this microscope Is un-
surpassed, being ornamental, instructive,
amusing and cheap, and never loses its in
| tcrest. Agents and dealers supplied on
liberal terms. A sample will be mailed,
post paid, to any address for SO 70, by +.

An Early Resumption OF Operations
Promised.


Our citizens will DO gratifed TO learn
that the prospects of this road are bright
cning, and that arrangements are about
completed to resume work at an early
day.
A large amount of tho local subscrip-
tions had about expired, but we are in
formed by Gen. Raum, the attorney Of the
road, that the counties and towns where it
was necessary to do so, have, with COM
mendable lberality, extended the time for
the completion of the road until Deem
Der, 1872.
We have ever regarded the completion
Of this railroad as of immense importance
TO our city and country-it affords us the
most direct outlet to our natural market,
the Southern States, Of any other road, and
We think that our people should not hesi-
tate to render nll necessary assistance g.
the encouragement of the enterprise.
General Raum is here for the purpose of
asking our city for donation Of $4,000
TO tho road, payable in o per cent. bonds
when cars are running from this city 70
the town Of Carmi, in White county, Ills,
n distance of nearly sixty miles upon the
condition that the road Is completed to
Carmi by December, 1879. We regard
this MS a very Just demand from our people.
We have aided every other railroad
through our city, and il cannot be that our
people will discriminate against this most
important Of all our roads.
A petition has been prepared, q copy Of
which We append, which will be presented
TO our citizens within the next ten days for
signatures. We are assured, with the
amount Of timely assistance, the company
will be able to resume work with incrcas-
ne vigor TO final completion.
