piously and forgivinsly forget that Maine
is joined to her idols and that she has,
with besrudging spirit, failed to show a
preference for a political diet made of
Liberal pumpkins and Democratic milk
and that she has been and gone and sur
rendered this once glorious Union into
the hands of the Black Republicans,
Radicals and GRANTEES After SO griev-

our souls with those appropriate lines SO

HURRAH FOR MAINE.

In is useless to rely again upon the
Liberal Dicks and Slippery Jims of the
opposition to burn powder in honor of
our latest victory; for they did all that
could be expected of them in that line
when they celebrated our success in North
Carolina We should, ourselves, rather,
make some demonstration over the late
triumph in Maine; and to this end we
propose that we light some fires of JOY
and burn some black powder, and
that We have some speakin, by Sen
ator Nye and others whose jubilation can
find utterance We might as well have
some fun over this wake of the Twins
as to be glum and sympathetic over their
early demise.

his intervals of getting sober are too few

The Old Year and the New.

An old man tottcrs on the road
Bow'd down with age ard care;
His locks are white and float about
Like snow flakes in the air
The clouds are gathering darkly round
The night seems setting fast,
The wind sends forth mourning sound
The owlets huttcr past.
The old man halts along the road,
lie sees the gathering gloom
No hope has he no power 10 stay
His last approaching doom,
lie sees the children pass him by,
And sadly turns his face;
He knows too well that he must die.
The New Year takes his place.
He hears the children clap their hands
And shout aloud for glec,
He marks them hasten OH their way
The glad New Year to see,
And then he hears the midnight chino
Ring out his fun'ral knell;
His life fades fast--hc rests at last,
The New Year breaks the spell.
A little child now leads the way
His steps is light and bold,
His hair is bright and floats about
Like threads Of burnish'd gold.
The clouds arc passing swift away,
The morn seems soft and clear;
Tie night has pass'd- the suns bright
ray
Brings in the glad New Year.
Farewell Old Year! your work is done
A new one fills your place;
The darkest night will pass away
The morning dawn apacc!
We can not bring the dead TO life,
Nor wasted hours recall;
But in the coming years we may,
Perhaps, atone for all.

OF OF the projected Ohio River Rail-
.oad, the Louisville Ledger says:

OF OF the projected Ohio River ka1l'
road, the Louisville Ledger says:
"Thc Ohio River Railroad Company"
is tile name Of an organization inc0rpO-
rated In the State Of Indiana for the Os-
temsible, purpose Of constructing rail-
road from Evansville. alofig the north
bank OF the Ohio river, through the
counties OF Vanderburg, Warrick, Speffs
Ger, Perry and Crawford, to point Of
junction with tho Louisville, New AL
bany and ST. Louis Air Line Railway,
at Hartford, in Crawford county, about
forty.fivc miles from Louisville. This
proposed road would pass through the
towns of Newburg, Kockport, Rome,
Troy, Cannclton, and Tell City, and
would probably touch every landing or
small town on tho river between Cam
melton and Evansville.
Running parallel with this proposed
Ohio River Railroad and but fifteen to
twenty miles distant from il, is the SUR
veycd line Of the Evansville Seymour
and Lake Erie Railroad, which will cross
the Louisville, New Albany and St.
Louis Air Line Railway at DHntingburg;
Dubois county, eighty miles distant
from Louisville. Work is now being
pushed forward upon this road, and the
grading is done from Evansville to
Boonvillc, Warrick county, and ready
for the superstructure and iron. 1t will
thus be seen that the two roads would
be competing ones, and that ii both are
built neither would ever be sclf-support-
ing. The money, therefore, voted to
the Ohio River Railroad might as we'll
be thrown into the Ohio River as invcs-
ted in this road, SO tar as any profits
tpon 1t are concerned.
10 speak plainly, this Ohio River
Railroad is not necded, and will never
pay. The Rockport road will no doubt be
completed to IIuntingburg the present
year,, where it makes junction with
the Louisville, New Albany and St.
Louis Air Line Road. But it is gene.
rally believed that the road will be Com
tinucd beyond IIuntingburg. This
KSckport road would meet all the re-
qnircmcnts for railroad accommodations
for that section Of Indiana, and would
take the trade tie proposed Ohio river
road would require for its maintenance
il constructed, for Rockport ships moro
than any other town OH the Ohio river
between New Albany and Evansville,
and her citizens would of course patrOn-
izc their own road, inasmuch as they
have not far from four hundred thOus-
and dollars invested in it.
Very many persons regard this Ohio
liver railroad as a wild cat,' and be-
lievc that every dollar invested in it by
the townships, counties, or towns along
is Linz Mi! RrSsxs asaa al lass thsr Ms Ms HAsi

over the project i1shch that 1t is not
likely any OF the counties or townships
asked to vote aid 10 it will do SO.

The Use of Life.

|of the worlds history = how tmperccp-
tiblc in the fearful Thought Of eternity.
And yet very few seem TO have con-
|ceptiOn Of the littlcness of life. We
crowd, VIC jOstle, we smitc one another.
|toiling on with bruised hearts to the
great prccipice of death, over which we
disappear. and arc lost to the world for
lever. The graves Of our fathers are the
battle grounds whcreon we struggle
with our brethern; and our graves will
lin turn he the battle grounds of those
who follow us. And this is the use OF
life.
Three score and ten years! Is there
nought to accomplish in this period
To-day is with us can nOught be done
to-day? Shall we rise from our pillow
this morn, and 60 forth for no purpose
or shall we, as we cross our threshold,
smite the first living being whom we
meet, thrust him from our path or tread
upon his neck? Is it worth considera-
ItiOn? ii q
Shall we hate our neighbor to-day
Shall we overreach him, slander him,
wound his soul, lie to him, tempt him to
crime? Is this the use Of to-day to-
morrow three score and ten years?
The use of life! o, what an eternity
lis embraced in seventy years well spent.
And even the little fraction which VIC
call to-day, what an age docs it present
for the true use Of life. This moment we
may cherish kind, ftatcrnal thought.
This hour we may behold that thoug ht
|ripcn iato blessed action. A smile
upon our face may gladden., like sun
light, the heart Of a weary paescr-by.
We may wipe away the bitter tear from
in sorrowing eve ere we are an hour
|older. We may lift the wretched FROM
their fallen state, strengthen the weak,
revive the despairing, sOlace the Dercav-
|ed-and all within the compass Of a lit
tic day. All, indeed, this is the use OF
life. Among the Irish peasantry there
lis story told Of rich man-an arrO-
giant sinfulsman--whosc life was one
long scene of sclfislincss. He was an
|oppressor Of the poor, hater of his
Ifellow-men, and devoted only to his
own pride and pleasure. But one day,
as he walked along the street, he saw a
dog lying in the guttcr--a miserable,
NANCY cur, dying with disease and
starvation, too feeble to move from the
spot where he had writhcd. And the
proud, sinful man, scarcely thinking OF
what lie was doing, kicked bone which
lay in his path towards the starving cur
and went on his way. We'll, rs the
story goes, tho man died and went tc
pcrdition. His manifold crimes doomed
him to future punishment. But tnslvV
Witch hssa kiokod . bone to helpless
dog was not permitted to suffer IN tn
fire it was thrust forth unscathcd, whilt
the rest Of the body was plunged IL
misery. That foot had been the instru
mcnt of the one good deed which thu
sinner had ever performed. 1t is rude
story; but il has moral; for 1t teaches
that tic smallest act Of love and charity
performed with good motive, is noted
and remembered mercifully by IIil
whose Providence never sleeps.
