it is adequate, on which the public may re.y
for full protection. BY curing Coughs. the
forerunners of more serious disease it saves I'M

is unwiSe to be without it, As n safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudcs are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi

One after another, the newspapers OF
Wisconsin are opening their eyes TO the
unspeakable disgrace which attaches to the
State on account Of It's submission for so
long a time to the injury and contumely
heaped upon it by the authorities of DU-
LUru, instigated by JAY COOKE. In our
humble way we have endeavored to edu-
cate the people upon the facts Of the case;
but the generous men of Wisconsin are slow
to angeI-loth to believe that any one has
a settled determination persistently to out
race and insult them. But the unWe!come
truth is forced upon them. The leaven Of
Indignation which deep sense Of oppres-
sion has generated here in Superior, is be-
ginning to work, and soon, we trust, will
affect the State at large. The Milwaukee
Na,cs of the 10th inst, speaking Of the Du-
luth canal and dyke, spiritedly says:
We confess that we cannot use guarded phrases nor
moderate our indignation in speaking OF the atrocities
Of this peculiar case.
The mob spirit Of Milwaukee aroused to an in
tense decree in one of the early days of its history, by
project TO destroy of the bridges across the river

What is to be done about the st. Croix
and Lake Superior land grant? The Uni
ted States court has decided that the lands
still belong to the State, and in effect, that
if the railroad line to which they are deyot-
ed as subsidy, snail be constructed before
a forfeiture shall be enforced by the gener-
III government, then the lands will have
been earned by the railroad company, and
It's title to the same, through the State will
have become indefeasible At least it would
be safe to count upon the equitable consid-
Grafton of congress, 50 far as to be assured
that that body could not be prevailed upon
even if it had the technical power-to
wreak upon the State of Wisconsin by
purely punitory proceedings, a malicious
vengeance, merely to crafty the spite Of
hostile railroad interests.
What Wisconsin needs most in the pres
ent crisis, is a BIsMARR, with n broad, bold,
comprehensive and patriotic policy, and
with heroic pluck, and q confident faith
in himself and the people, that will prompt
him to a speedy and determined execution
Of that policy. It is no time now for pen
ny-wise and pound dlooIsh hesitation. Let
the State arise, and resisting he world, the
flesh, and Jay Cooke, march right on
towards that splendid destiny, for which
nature has given it such generous opportu-
mites, but Of which mercenary enemies III
the interest Of their own huckstering pro
iects, are striving to delraud 1t. Let the
State guarantee the land grant to any com
pany that will 90 on at once and construct
the road from ST. Croix Lake to Superior
and Bayfield, on the lines contemplated by
the granting act
We may be sure there will be no con-
gressonal interference, to oppress and de
spoil people which thoroughly knows its
rights, and peroistently and intelligentIy
asserts them before the country. Corrupt
as the American Congress is by cynical
fault-fnders, charged to have become, it is
vet not so fl. removed from the American
people in whom the love of fair play is still
dominant sentiment, that 1t can afford III
the presence Of the whole, grossly and wan
tonly to injure portion, OF that people.
Ifthere is fair probability that an extra
session Of the Legislature would advance
and secure the interests respecting which
we now speak, then such 4 scssionshould be
at once conyoked. If the North Wiscon-
sin company is not ready for vigorous and
efficient business" in this behalf, then lei
some other company that is idy harnesscd
for the work, undertake it. Especially doe.
it behoove the friends Of Superior at home
and abroad to be active and alert at thi
iuucture. 4 valuable land grant, IN eZten
sive and eligible railway line, developed
country with its resultant growing cities
are the guerdons that moao urge them t.
instant and persevcriug effort.

feet of water where before, there was pro
badly not more than eight feet, and carry
ing away the sand and earth filling, rs fast
as it is dumped, and forming vast bar or
shoal place short distance beyond the
dyke.
Nothing could have more clearly demon
strated the absolute futiIity of the plan
which has been sometimes proposed, viz:
to leave an opening in the dyke of suffi-
cient width to admit Of the free passage OF
steamers sc. No, no! Too long has Wis
consin suffered herself to be tritled with in
this matter There is one simple, adequate,
just remedy for the whole difficulty. Ihe
canal must be filed, and the dyke removed.
That course, restores to Wisconsin only
what belongs to her, and takes from Du-
luth and Jay Cooke nothing that they are
entitled to-nothing but what they have
gained by robbery. Right, 1orongs nobody.

POEH on TIE LNNORT4LITY OF THE


Our townsman Mr.. William Cranwell has
favored US with the inspection of a poem
published so long ago as 1865; it is on the
Immortality of the Soul,' translated from
the Latin of Isaac Hawkins Brown by j..
Cranwen VI. A. Fellow of Sidney College,
Cambridge, England, an ancestor Of oar
Mr.. CranweI The original was highly
priced by classical scholars, sit was in but
few hands, and not to be purchased but by
accident, the owners like so many poetical
virtuosi, locking it up in their cabinets as a
"choice ieacel" Mr. CranweIl's translation
is printed in quarto, in large type, and con-
tains upwards Of u thousand lines. Some
parts Of it are written in singular'y pure
Anglo-Saxon, and the whole style is beauti-
fully harmonious with great dignity and
seriousness. The reasoning is character
lied by force, variety and precision. The
| following are the concluding lines:
Here then we rest, and thus Conclude the whole
That Thinking Substance which we call the Soul
Is not comDos'd Of Elements Of Earth;
BY Nature therefore Of Immortal birth.
Bat If He so ordain, Ieav'ns Pow'r supreme
Can quench the Light Of this ETHEREAL Beam.
He can, but never aciR-That powr to know
More than is destin'd to Mans State below;
That restless longing for Immortal Good
4 Passion never in the Mind subdu'd;
That ardent thirst Perfection to attain;
Was meier implanted in the Soul in vain.
But now if Virtue should rewarded be,
And Vice must suffer, as just Laws decree;
Yet Here we rarely such Distinction find,
T. adjust tins Point some State must be assignd.
Then shall this Scene, that now, respecting Man,
Seems all unworthy Wisdom's heavily Plan;
The Cloud remoTd, shine forth in Native Light,
And Truth and Order charm the ravish'd sight.
Unless this Fact unquestioned be allow'd,
Whence can You prove tn Existence of God;
That DER The Worlds stupendous Frame presides,
Directs it's Order and it's Motions guides?
What? shall the incest harmony be senn
Thro' other Parts of this immense Machine;
Yet marks Of Wisdom be deficient Here,
Where most Divine Perfecti' should appear?
No; for a Time is ix'd in Heav'n's Decree
Seek not to know how such Event can be;)
Enough that after Death the Day shall come,
When by one righteous aud impartial DOOM
God will all Wicked Men with Wrath pursue,
And give to Virtue what is Virtues due
