Forgive the sword that knew not stain or rust
| Forget the rebel in the soldiers fame,
AS England bushes now o'er Cromwell s dust
And treasures Hampden's name.
Then States, in discord once, again shall blend
| The vine and olive court again the sun,
The storm-clouds fee that darkly now portend
Our country still be one;
Valor receive, though late, a nations tear,
Its heroes occupy common tomb,
One Westminster through coming ages share,
In gold and purple gloom.
All not by deeds alone is greatness shown,
Or are our souls ennobled and made pure;
Life's hardest lesson oft is without groan
To suffer and endure;
Not do or dare-only to stand and wait;
Not reap, but idle list the harvest song;
Not soar like larks, but from our prison CRATE
See justice yield to wrong.
So Regulus the Punic offer spurned,
Despite the ties of wife, and child, and home,
The Senate left, and to his foes returned
To die, ere shame proud Rome.
What though base foes his limbs in dungeons
chain,
Hot Afric suns his lifeless eyes eclipse,
Sharp nails trans6x him to the cross in pain
No moan escapes his lips;
Great even in defeat, alive or dead;
Example fires the millions yet to be,
Greater in woe than when in pomp he led
Romes feet to victory.
A lofty aim, in every age and cline,
Nobly pursued, in failure digni6es
A llfe and consecrates it as sublime
In Gods impartial eyes.
No leader or true martyr dies in vain;
No blood is lost for truth or freedom shed:
Deaths, fruitless now, hold germs of precious
Earth's sovereigns are her dead
Such deaths make hallowed ground of common
dust,
Enrich all ages with grand memories;
Traditions are a peoples holiest trust,
Their noblest legacies.
A stricken State, we feel, God, Thy hand,
Thy scourge in drought and flood, in sword
and fire;
But ah to-day, beside this grave, we stand
Like orphans o'er their sire.
With earnest eyes in vain thy clouds we scan
We know that Thou art Love, we therefore
trust;
We know that though we may not solve Thy
plan,
Thy scales are poised and just.
We know in part; we yield not to despair;
Much needs must now be left in doubt and
gloom,
Which Thou wilt yet interpret and make clear
To eyes beyond the tomb.
The Book of Providence, but part unsealed,
Is filled like Natures with lore unknown,
Keyless until all secrets are revealed
Before the Great White Throne.
Dark mysteries to Thee we humbly leave;
Stern duties claim our days so few and brief:
We kneel in tears and cry, "Lord we believe,
Help Thou our unbeliefP'

THE NOBLE HEART.
A Legend OF Palmyra.
BY GEO L. AIKEN. .

Aurellan's legions swarmed around Pal
myra and the city seemed doomed to fall
into his power; yet Zenobia showed no
signs of yielding. Her soldiers we're brave
and trusty and her two generals expert
enced and skillful. But one was treach-
erous. although she knew it not. Antio-
chus had sold himself to Rome. 1t was
a princely bribe the emperor had offered
to win this general to his purpose to make
him governor of the city. to hold it in fel
for Rome, and give him for wife the peer
less virgin, Julia. Zenobia's daughter.
Antiocbus was not proof against this
offer and resolved to betray his country to
imperial Rome. To further his intent be
sounded his colleague general. Zabdas,
who held the chief command Zabdas
was dark stern man, an Egyptian by
birth. who had entered the service of the
Palmyrene queen, and by his bravery and
knowledge of the art of war had gained
her many victories. He it was whose VIC
torious arm had beat back Saper. the Per.
sian emperor. and driven bis myriads be-
fore him like the sands of the desert before
The simoon's blast.
This was the man that Antiochus sought
to make traitor Of. They met upon the
esplanade before Zenobia's palace, which,
built upon the brow Of bill. looked down
upon Palmyra. The Roman embassy
were even then within the walls making
known Aurelian's terms to Zenobia. An.
tiochus darkly hinted at the offer be bad
received from Rome. The Egyptian led
him to the verge of the hill.
Cast down your eyes. my lord" he
said-'you seldom do-look down the
mountain eide, down to the marble pave
ment stretched below, and tell me whai
you see?"
The heights too great" answered An
tiochus. bewildered by the question:

Roads and Road.1Gaking.

Of primary importance TO the civA -

good public thoroughfsres. Rapidity and
cheapness of transportation are vital neees-
stiles to commercial prosperity. and 10
time Of war the safety Of nsticn may de-
pend Upon the state Of her roads. These
facts have long been recognized. and
hence the perfection Of roads has been :
problem to which engineers have in all
ages assiduously applied themselves. The
importance Of even slight advance in
improvement has kept slive interest in
this department of engineering. and cen
Jury after century has elapsed without the
perfect ideal considered as yet reached. -
That this is true is proved BY . very
brief review of the Patent Office records,
10 which patents for various compositions
for road surfaces, and for methods of road
building. constitute every year notable
number of the patents applied for and is
sued.
Probably the most remarkable success
ever yet achieved BY any one system was
that which attended and still attends the
macadam road. Notwithstanding its ex-
pensive character. it to-day covers more
surface in Europe than any other. In
America. except in the vicinity Of large
towns, this road is not much employed.

ton and the small amount of travel in ru.
raj districts not warrsnting the cost Of its
construction and maintenance. go
It is now fifty years or thereabouts since
Macadam introduced this celebrated sys-
tenn. and it is quite doubtful whether the
next fifty years will give the world any,
thing better for al purposes. But. - We
have already said. this system is not at
the present. nor i il probable that it soon
will be, available for American thorough
fares. $40
Roads in this country must, from the
nature Of the case, BE- constructed Of such

In this as in other countries the great
enemy of roads is frost. and the only way
to even partially prevent its .ravages i 10
construct roads high enough to allow tho.
