Grindelwald' is told as an instance of this
The skies grew soft DER GTindelwald 80
And summer blue its peaks o'erhung,
While meath the sunshinos golden wing,
An anthem dim and sweet was sung
From new y-wedded mountain rils,
That TO warm midsummer's kiss,
Awakened from their dreamess Sleep
And sprang to life, and laughed in bliss
The sun shone on and streamlets Tipped
The stolid glaciers ice-bound feet.
Till chains were loosed aud frozen fields
Oerwheimed the grooves and valley sweet,
And at the foot of Grindelwad,
II covered i'll its cold embrace
Through many long and silent years,
The chapel that had marked the place.
The warm-hpped summers came and went,
And warmer, softer grew their tread,
Above the spot where lay entombed,
The chapel and its dreamless dead
And 10 like some hearts buried dream
That drifts up by mystic spell,
There rose from out the glaciers breast
The overwhelmed ohapels silent bell
And ON this sun-crownd Sabbath day,
It's echoes break in silver rills,
Through silent grooves and craggy pass
And all the air with music thrills
For pious hearts with rev'rent hands,
Have born ii to a village near
Where from its moss-grown turret high
II tells each sabbath of the year.

PRoGREss.-In a recent drive over the
Island, and around Moline and Rock Island,
we we're agreeably surprised to see the
great progress made within the last three
years Over the whole country from Rock
IalAnd to Moline, the vacant places between
Milan and the city and between this and
Moline are being rapidly filed up with
buildings, especially the western and south.
ern parts of this city, about the pillow factory,
glass works, stove works, soap works, and
all that region is filing u with great rapid
hy. Also East Rock Island, a point scare
y known three years sgo-all that fiat
country back of the Halfway House, be-
tween this and Moline, is filling up with new
buildings, and the time is not far distaut
when there will be . continuous town from
Milan to Moline.

DIR. WISTAR'S
BlIslM Or WILD CHERRY

Is pseuliafly adapted to every disenre of ,hs
lungs and liver which is produced by our ever
varying climate.
There is, perhaps, no disease with which our
country il affeete d, which sweeps of annually
so many victims as that fell destroyer of the
human raec-consnmption. Day after day
year after year, the insatiate monster hurries
60 the cold and silent portals Of the tomb fresh
added victims to it's conquest No walk of life
is sacred from its blighting influence No age
is exempt from it's death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young, all alike,
are food for this common enemy of mankind.
The white haired patriarch whose life of tenn
Perance has rendered his system impervious to
the attacks of other ills, and whose good deeds
prepared him for the enjoyment Of hfe's calm
evening, finds consumption fastening its fAngs
upon his vitals, aud tearing him from a world
ever bright to minds which look complacently
on days well spent.
Consumption, in its confirmed and ineipient
stages, cough-, asthma, Group, and liver com
plant, form by far the most fatal class of dis
eases known to our land. Yet even those may
be cured by means of the simple yet powerful
re NEEDLES that are scattered wherever these NAL
aides prevail.

COOP IDEA.-P. l.. Mitchell Esq, is
building some very fne brick d weilings for
sale, aud it would be a good thing for Rock
Island if other capitalists would follow his
example. He purchases nice lot and
forthwith a fine brick dwelling arises there.
When ready fo= use it is offered for sale on
easy terms-s very small part down and the
balance in easy payments. This plan en-
conrages people to settle here,-a plan which
Others ought to adopt if they wish Rock
Island to prosper. With OR present fine
start in manufacturing, many good families
would come here il suitable houses could be
had. We hope those who have money will
follow the excellent example of Mr.. Mitchell.
Besides being a profitable investment, it
helps the town.

ART In Rock IsLAyD.-We have hither
to RETAINED from noticing in our columns
the remarkable portrait of Mr.. Ben Har-
/ per, painted BY Henderson, and for some
days on exhibition in the window Of Gates
& Woodward. This omission was st the
special request of the artist, but now,
after coREjeSuerS have pronounced il
the best work OF art ever produced in Rock
Island, we devote some space to the con
sideration of the subject. The Chicago FIRE
has benefited the provinces" in this re-
gard that her artists are driven into the
smaller towns. We thus enjoy the best tai
ent Of the Illinois art-center and certainly
should make good use Of it while it is with
US. The Chicago Times prOnounces Hen,
derson, THE coming man-and coming al
a lively rate too" The Tribune calls one Of
his pictures, GA head above all his con.
temporaries, and one Of the few great por-
traits ever painted ia Chicago; :" while
Theodore Tilton declares his works,
Prophetic Portraits" After the
execution Of the commission from the
Chicago Historical Society, to paint the
portrait OF Gen Grant, the President was
pleased to iudi,e letter to th e society, ex-
pressing his entire appreciation of the work.
So it will be seen-had we no eyes Of our
own-that Rock leland is favored with one
of the first Of that scattered artist com
muuity.
Mr.. Hendersou's style is very original
and almost peculiar in this, that be com.
bines the utmost fidelity in likeness, with
the most conscientious finish in detail, not
smoothing bis colors, down into iuanity,
as we see in certain dyed photographs,
some times exhibited, but leaving his colors
crisp and pure, aud showing aexibilty Of
handling, which gives evidence of knowl-
edge aud reminds ChicagoRus of the artist
Hesley. Neither does he seem to exhaust
the last resources Of his palette tor theatrica
effect but bis prosrsits are wonderful for
their pronounced individuality and char
scseristic expression, and that quiet
power which ''oversteps not
the modesty of nature Gus
tom quite neglected by the 'late
Antrobus," whose sensational daub, being
oaricsture Of Mr.. Harper, may also be seen
at Walter Gates. In contrast with this.
Henderson 9 portrait of the same subject is
especially instructive-for all accessories
are snbdued in such regular graduation that
the eye of the observer is led iussnsbly
to the face and eyes of the picture, no mat
ter where it might FIRST rest on the canvas.
We regret to learn that the time is fixed
when Mr.. Henderson goes East to fill i'm
por,snt engagements, so that within a shor:
time ne will be compelled to decline accept.
ing new commissions-thOugh we hope he
may be induced to leave many Of his works
as souvenirs among Us.

RAILROAD CAR BUnDNG.-Contrarv to
the predictions of many persons, that the
building of railroads through the sparsely
settled portions of the West would be an
Improbable investment of capital, the fact
has been demonstrated that roads built
through good agricultural, mineral or tim
Der lands has created business and settled
the Country with an industrious population
adding to the aggregate wealth of the
country. The many roads built and build
ing in the last few years in the West, have
stimulated agriculture and manufactures
to such an extent that most ofour railroads
'are deficient in rolling stock to move the
freight offering, and it is now difficult to
make contracts for cars to be delivered
under twelve to eighteen months. In view
of these facts, we are of the opinion that
there is not more sure and profitable in
vestment of capital and energy, with
view to quick sales and handsome profits
than in large and well appointed Rail.

with the number ofnilroads centering here
making this one of the most important
railroad centres in the country and with
otherroads that must ofnecessitycome here,
Rock Island, Illinois, is the best unoccu-
pied point in the country for such an en-
terprise. All necessary materials, includ-
ing lumber, can be furnished here on the
most favorable terms. And we are inform.
ed that one of our large property holders
is willing and promises to donate liberal
quantity of land to any company or parties
who will embark in this matter with a
view to building first-class works here
This we deem rare opening and worthy
