Poetry.


''Rock Of Ages, cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung,
Fell the words unconsciously
From her glrlish, glceful tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current Of the tune
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Lot me hide myself in Thee"
'Lot me hide myself in Thee"
Felt her soul no need to hide
Sweet the song as song could be
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unhccdngly
Fell frsm lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not that each might be
On some other lips prayer
crock Of Ages, cleft for me"
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Rock Of Ages, cleft for me"
Twas a woman sung them now,
Plcndingly md prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know,
Rose the song az storm tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred
Every syllable a prayer
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
''Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tendorly-
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim.
"Let me hide myself in Thee"
Trembling though the voice, and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like river in its flow.
Sung as only they can sing
Who life's thorny paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
"Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
'RoCk Of Ages, cleft for me"
Sung above cofiin-lid;
Underneath, all rcstfully,
All lifo's Joys and sorrows hid,
Nevermore, o storm-tossed soul!
Ncvermore from wind or tide,
Eeycrmoro from billows roll,
Wilt 'hou need tlyself to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyea,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stirenod lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
still, aye, still, the words would be,
'Let me hide myself In Thee.n

"TnE Mississippi, Tennessee and
Atlantic Canal" is the name given
TO a magnificent project, now agitat-
ing Southern capitalists. The prop
osiiion is to build a canal from st.
Louis, Mo-, to Sayannsh, Ga. Gov.
SMITH, OF Ga, has invited the Gov
ernors of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Alabama. to meet him at Atlanta, on
the 18th of November, to consider
the feasibility of the great enterprise,
and to agree upon a some common
plan for the carrying forward of the
giant scheme. The success of the
great Erie canal, surrounded as it is,
by some of the richest railroads in
he Union, gives every reason to be-
lieve that this Mississippi, Tennessee,
md Atlantic canal will pay, notwith-
standing its immense cost. The
project under consideration contem-
plates a continuous line of water
communication, natural and artifi-
cial, from st. Louis, in the State of
Missouri, to Savannah, in the State
Of Georgia. The Mississippi, the
Ohio, and the Tennessee, to Gunter's
Landing, including the canal around
Muscle Shoals, now being construct
cd, form the upper portion Of tnc
line. 1t is proposed to continue this
line South, first by canal from Gun
.er's Landing to the Coosa river at
Gadsden, in the State Of Alabama,
thence by said river eighty-seven
miles to Rome, thence up the Etowah
and Little river to a pole near Ros-
well, in Cobb county, where it will
cross the Chattaboochee, thence via
Atlanta to one of the tributaries of
The Ocmulgee--Yellow or South
river. The Ocmulgee and Altamaha
will form the remainder of the line
until point shall be reached nearest
Savannah-say the mouth Of the 90
hoopee-from which the canal will
be continued TO that city. The dis
lance from st. Louis to Savannah by
this route is about thirteen hundred
miles. 1t is estimated that the por-
ton of the line in the State of Ala
bama will cost six millions of dol
lars, and the portion of Georgia, SO
far rs Macon, twenty millions.
