The Heart.

The effect ofeverything that touches
the heart is multiplied by the intensity
of the hearts own chsnges. Hence it
is that it is so sensitive, SO true an in
dex of the body's state. Hence, also,
it is that it never wearies. Let me re-
mind you of the work done by our hearts
in a day, A mans total outward work,
his whole effect upon the world in
twenty-four hours, has been reckoned
about $50 fOot-tons. That may be
taken as a good "hard days work. !"
During the same time the heart has
been working at the rate of 12O foot
tons. That is to say, if ell the pulses of
a day and night could be concentrated
and welded into one great throb, that
throb would he enough 10 raise ton of
iron 100 feet into the air. And yet the
heart is never weary. Many of us are
tired after but feeble labors few OF us
can hold poker out at arms length
without, after few minutes, dropping
it. But healthy heart, and many an
unsOund heart, too-though sometimes
you can tell in the evening, by its
stroke, that it has been thrown off its
balance by turmOiIs aud worries of life
goes on beating through the night
when We are asleep, and when we
wake in the morning we find it at
work, fresh as if it had only just begun
to beat. 1t does this because upon
each stroke of work there follows a
period, brief but real period of rest,
because the next stroke which comes is
but the natural suspense of that rest,
and made to match it; because, in
fact, each beat is, in force, in scope, in
character, in everything, the simple
expression of the hearts own energy
and state.

Signs.

Solomon said many centuries ago,
"even child is known by its doings,
whether his work is pure, and whether
1t be right" When see boy in haste
to spend every cent as soon as he gets
1t, think it is a sign that he will be a
spendthrift. When see child hoard
ing up his pennies, and unwilling to
part with them for any good purpose, I
think it is a sign that he will be miser.
When see child always looking out
for himself or herself, 1 think it is a
sign that the child will grow up selfish
person. When l see boys and girls Of
ten quarreling, think it is a sign that
they will be violent men and hateful
women. When 1 see little boy willing
to take strong drink, think it is sign
that he will be a drunkard. When i
see little boy who never attends the
service of religion, I think that it is
sign that he will be profane and profit
gate man. When 1 see child obedient
to his parents, 1 think it Is sign of
great future blessings from his heavenly
parent, and though changes sometimes
take place in the character, yet, as q
general rule, these signs do not fail.

A Mothers influence.

The solid rock which turns the edge
of the chisel bears forever the impress
of the leaf and the acorn received long,
long since, ere it had become hardened
by time and the elements. Ii we trace
back to its fountain the mighty torrent
which fertilizes the land with its copi-
GUS stream, or sweeps over it with a
devastating flood, we shall find it drip
ping in crystal drops from some messy
crevice among the distant hills. So,
too, the gentle feelings and affections
that enrich and adorn the heart, and
the mighty passions that sweep away
all barriers of the soul and desOlate So
ciety, may have sprung mp in the in
fant bosom in the sheltered retirement
of home. 81 should have been an athe-
ist, " said John Randolph, "if it had
not been for one recollection; and that

departed mother used to take my little
hand in hers, and caused me, ON my

Interesting Discovery.

An interesting discovery has lately
been made, which throws some light
upon the course rapidity OF the great
ocean currents circulating between the
continent of South America and the
western coast of Australia. The figure
head of large ship was picked up some
time ago at the little Island of Rottnest
near Fremantle, Western Australia,
and has since been identified as having
belonged to the Blue Jaeket-a wool
ship which was lost between the Falk-
land Islands and Cape Horn, on her
voyage from New Zealand to England.
The Blue Jacket was burned on the
9th of March, 1869, in about So deg.
south lat, add 80 deg. west long, and
the distance from that point to Rott-
nest Island is, therefore, over 5000
miles. The time occupied in travers-
ing this distance was about two years
and a-half, giving mean rate of about
six miles and a-half a day.-Mel5uosae

The nature OF the soil indicates the
rotation. In cases where the tenant
is known to be an intelligent and
skiliul farmer, the landlord often
leaves him free to cultivate the land
in his own way.

The course pursued by most
American farmers is entirely without

passed, "eyery woman from Maine

have "pounced down upon our State,

mum would be paradise" compared
with Iowa now and then. He takes

what we have escaped, and shudder.

NV Hickory Fire.

Oh helpless body of hickory tree,
What do burn in burning thee?
Summers Of sun, winters Of snow,
Springs full of sap's resistless flow;
All past years joys of garner'd fruits;
All this years purposed buds and shoots /;
Secrets OF fields ofupper air,
Secrets which stars and planets share;
Light ofsuch smiles as broad skies fling,
Sound of such tunes as wild winds sing;
Voices which told where gny birds dwclt,
Voices which told where lovers knelt:-
Oh, strong white body of hickory tree,
How dare burn all these, in thee?
But too bring, as to a pyre.
Sweet things TO feed thy funeral lire;
Memories walked by thy deep spell;
Faces Of fears and hopes which fell;
Faces of darlings long since dead
Smiles that they smiled, and words they
said
Like lining shapes they come and So.
Lit by the mounting flames red glow
But sacredes. of all. tree,
Thou hast the hour my love gave me-
Only thy rhythmic silence stirr'd
While his low-whisper'd tones | heard;
Iy thy last CLEAN of pickering light
/ saw his cheek turn red from white;
Oh. cold gray ashes, side by side
With yours that hours sweet pulses diet
But thou. brave tree, how do know
That through these fires thou dost not 60,
As, in old days, the martyrs went
Through FIRE which was a sacrament
How do know thou dos, not wait
In longing for thy next estate?-
Estate Of higher. nobler place,
Whose shapes no man can use or trace.
How do | know. il could reach
The secret meaning Of thy speech,
But thy song Of praise should hear,
Ringing triumphant, loud and clear
The waiting angels could discern.
And token Of thy Heaven learn?
Oh. glad, freed sou! of hickory sree,
Wherever thine eternity,
Bear thou with thee that hours dear rame,
Made pure, like thee, by rites of flame.

SoiOurner Truth.

On Friday evening, the people OF
.Anamosa and vicinity will have an
opportunity to hear and see this re-
markable woman and we hope she
will have full house. There are q
few foremost minds III tho world
Greeley among editors; Sumner
among orators; Scott, Dickens, Coop
Ell; ETC., among novel writers; Shakes
peare among poets; Fred. Douglass
among colored men and SoJourner
Truth among colored women. This
last has a worldwide reputation and
the opportunity to attend should not
lost. We believe she is near eighty
but her mental vigor and originality
remain and the audience will not fail
to be pleased.
We are tempted to repeat story
Of her and which we printed years
ago. 1t was at female anti slavery
meeting in Boston before the war
and when Boston was intensely pro.
slavery. Soiourner came III, plainly
dressed and an old bonnet on her
head. She walked half way UP the
platform, seated herself on the steps
and sat down facing the crowd, lean
cd her chin on her hands and her ell
bows on her knees. Those on the
platform knew her and dreaded the
result in that crowd Of angry men,-
Speaking went on; q clergyman in
the crowd arose and protested
against abolition agitation, declaring
that he washed his hands of it and
would not have it on his soul. To
the terror OF the ladies on the plat
form, Sojourner Truth slowly !ltted
her tall form, pointed her long finger
towards the clergyman and SAID,
" Do MT be scarf. chile; | do mt be-
lleve God ever hcarn tell on We. =
The crowd eheered and launched he
burst of wit and the speakers were
heard 20 the end. She saved the
meeting without intending it.
Her object in lec,uring is to petit
ton Congress tor portion of the
public lands to be set apart for color
ed people. Whether this is best OF
not may be matter Of doubt, but
she IS worth hearing any way.-T4n-
