POETRY.

The following beautiful poem entitled "ln-
to the Light" is said to have been written
by Miss Nettie Waltz of Augusta:
My soul had struggled long,
Down in a valley, circled all about
With mountains Satan's ramparts, high and strong,
That shut the sunlight OUT
Twas bare as bare could be;
The forced and scanty bloom was sickly pale
And not a graceful shrub, nor well-formed tree,
Fer beautifed the vale.
Deep, awesome, calm around!
Demoniac laughter, fercely, madly gay
Or silence, 1t was torture still, or sound!
In letters there lay,
Many dark, weary years;
Until there came a wondrous burst of light,
sudden staying of my doubts and fears,
An inner sense OF might.
Straightway then uprose-
The fading mountains parted for my feet
And out beyond their shadow, dim and close,
passed to meadows sweet.
The circling skies above
Azure and soft, and jubant with song!-
My life grew golden in the cleaning love,
Eternal, changeless, strong.
wandered up and down.
My soul exultant in her glad release,
Bound up her throbbing brows with joys soft crown,
And sang her songs OF peace.
But I grew weary soon,
And sought the cause with murmurs OF regret,
And found, shadow of the olden gloom,
wore my letters yet.
Out in the glad sunlight,
Joy in this, but, o, these wearyng bands
With clearer vision blest, and new born might
Fettered in heart and hands.
'Father, Thy kingdom come!'
I'll struggle with my follies, passion pain
And every evil that overcome
Breaks one link of the chain,
And when at length rise-
And Eden's golden gates swing back for me-
Among the fruits and flowers of Paradise,
I'll wander wholly free.

Negro Hymns and Superstitions.

An Englishman in Virginia writes to the
London Nonconyormist ....
Some of the songs and hymns of the ne
groes are very peculiar. / read some years
age in one of George Augustus Sala's Amer
lean letters the following specimen of a ne
gro hymn:
Chase de debbil round de stump
Glory, halleujah!
Glib him kick at ebbery jump,
Glory, hallelujahi
Since / came to the South 1 have been Gu
rious to find out if this was really genuine
quotation from negro hymnology. Mention
ing it to gentleman with whom was din
ing, he laughed, and said he had never heard
of it; but on asking his negro servant if it
was ever sung at their religious meetings, the
reply was, eyes, at de pray r-meeting." So.
after all, George Augustus was right. The
negroes are great adopts at composing what
they regard as sacred songs, but the words
seldom contain much sense or rhyme. Here
Is verse from hymn which is very popular:
Oar dey comes ole Satan,
Wild de Bible under his arm
Praying Lord glib me justice,
For half OBJ desc people is mine'
Another of their favorite hymns contains
the following:
Mind, my sister, how you walk on the cross,
Your loot might Slip and your soul be lost
done been deemed,
done been tried
been to the water,
And been baptized,
Glory, hallelujah
The negro who has got religion" usually
gives queer account of how he got it. His
ideas on theological subjects are generally
confined to some fancied supernatural mani
festation of which he has been the subject.
Nevertheless, these poor people often do
show the outward signs of an inward and
spiritual grace. l have seen some half dozen
Uncle Toms recently, and one of these be-
lieving Thomas's was man who used to
have weakness for strong liquors; but since
ne has had de change" he has become
strict teetotaller, and his white neighbors saw
that he is an exemplary character in every
respect. There are many such.

A GENTLE REBUKE TO THE FAIR Sex
The Terre Haute Express utters the following
mild protest against the prevailing feminine
head gear:
We do not know the name of one of the
latest monstrosities that the ladies of the day
wear upon thier heads in lieu of bonnets and
hats. Werefer to those immense high black
things covered all over with velvet purple,
and feathers. We know that they are so COW
cred, for we had full opportunity to minute
ly examine one of them at the theatre the
other evening. The lady having it on sat di-
rectly in front of us. We wondered, as we
gazed upon it and only now and then obtain
ed glimpse Of the stage by lodging on this
side and that as the wearer lodged on that
side and this, what would have been the re-
suit had we attempted to keep in our place
during the performance. The feminine head
covering certainly shut out from us the play
as effectively as would the tallest masculine
tile upon our head have shut it out from those
behind us. Generally it matters little to us
how the dear creatures adorn themselves, or
to what extent they carry out absurd fashions
but when 'La Mode leads them to interfere
with the rights of others a mild protest is in
order. Fair ladies be generous and Just, and
when you go to public places leave the steeple
hats at home,

TTIHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
l. tanning 1900 feet Of heating surface, built upon
principle, namely that Of stopping the vertical
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon
tai didphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments BY this ar
rangement there is three temperatures of
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
In the third compartment. By this operation the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack, chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power. :.
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew 30
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler Of the heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do so, as long as it is
used, and we Will back our guarantees with Gov
EMINENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
to in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts, that while running this
boilerwith coal or wood the sparks are neutralized
and none have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney
before realized
Confning ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us

The CHARACTER of the Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as a whole, is
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted with
the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR TO
THAT OF ANY OTHER ROAD; but even
if the average price per acre of its land sales should
not be above the lowest average of all the land grants
which is but S2.7O on the Kansas Pacific Road. still
at this low figure for the $4,000 held to redeem
each $4,000 of bonds, there would be surplus of
SIT 500 over the amount of bonds that can he issued
on each mile Of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
During the present month the Northern Pacific
Railroad will be opened for passengers and freight to
the Red River of the North, the eastern boundary
of Dakota Territory-this, with the completed road
on the Pacific slope, and the St. Paul and Pacific
branches of 2Ss miles, will make nearly 600 miles of
road in operation at the close of this year.
AS the U S. Government is now calling iu the Five
Twenties, holders of these can convert them into
Northern Pacific Bonds, and thereby INCREASE
THEIR INCOME MORE THAN "a
PER CENT. At the present time good proper
ton of the sales of N Bonds are by the conversion
of Five-Twenties, and we notice that the Boston
journal in its monetary article of Nov. II. saws:
Holders OF Five-Twenties (of 1862 are either real
zing upon them, or exchanging them into other is
sues-often into railroad bonds-the Northern Pacific
seven-Thrties are favorites for reinvestment,"
~ The Chicago disaster fully demonstrated that First
the ' ss. pong on any Trunk Line of railroad is

seen in the uctuation Of the first Mortgage Bonds
" .ne michigan Central Railroad which fell but one

the ot0cK exchange in its issue of the 18th Of Octo
Der, after the Chicago fire, SAYS "Rairoad RonIs

EB To persons seeking permanent investments, al

their income, WE WOULD RECOMMEND
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC SEVEN
