The Realm of Restfulnes. 80

No matter how low a mans work Is,
no matter how poorly he is remunerated
though he has never seen the sun, though
he was born. and has always lived In the
mine, or though it be his lot to delve
and work in the sea, it is in his power
to be son of God For him, too. there
are songs. He has brothers and he has
sisters, and he has god ofglory. w hat
man is so poor that he does not have
an undivided interest In the sun You
walk along the street. You do not own
that house, or that, or that. leu do
not own any house. most or you.
You have no money in the Bank. You
cannot draw check and have it houored
in any bank, most, Of you. And stock
you do not own You have no part or
lot in any of these things which men are
praised for having. But who owns the
focks of birds that are coming up north
now and then that are singing already
In the fields? Anybody who has ears
to bear and eyes to see, owns them.
Those spring that are coming, and bring
ing balm and sweet moisture from the
south-who owns them You own them
and own them. When the raggedest
beggar that walks the street with head
uncovered and hair unkept lifts himself
into the.air, and the sun is his. and
summer is his. The morning and the
evening are for him. God makes the
curtains around about his bed for he
is Gods child. He is not so rich in
that which men call riches as that old
curmudgeon and miser but oh. how
rich he is overhead There is great
class of toiers who have no tapestry, no
pictures. very little physical comfort In
life. There are men who labor with
their hands for their daily bread, and
feel that part of the Lord prayer which
you lump over with so little thought
-"Give US this day our daily bread, -
To you who have twenty barrels of -four
in your house that does not mean any
thing, But there are many men who
have to engineer for the next mouthful.
There are men who in the morning pray
ID earnest Give us this dsy-this day
our daily bread p But these men
are not cabined and confined to base
Municipalities. They spring up above
them to-the upper arch, this all-glowing
all-benefcent constitution of things.
They have wings. and they fly up into
the realm of things invisible and there
live. or may do so. They as seeing Him
who is invisible. How easy it is for us
to retreat out of our care, out of the
sick-room, out of the house OF death In
to this great upper realm. W. Beech

financial Jubilee shall ushes in the dawn
of profits 1t requires courage. energy,
and vast resources to push such an en-
terprise against such colossal obstacles.
One grand resource of hope, however,
exists in tho fact that from Stevens
Point to Ashland, the road passes
through one of the farming and grazing
portions of the State. The soil is rich
and we'll watered, and is now covered
with a heavy growth of timber, consist
ing of pine, hemlack. spruce, frs, tama-
rack, beech, hard and soft maple, lime,
elm, birch, white and black ash, &C.,
The soil between the Wolf and the
Wisconsin,. and for a narrow strip on the
west side of the latter river,is very sandy
and in some places not Of good quality
for grains and grasses. but after you leave
the Point by 10 miles. you come to
soil that is unsurpassed in strength and
richness, and we are informed. by the
civil engineer, the texture of the 500
holds good to the Penoka iron mines. or
until you reach the high lands of Lake
Superior.
Mill privileges are plenty and very
good timber abundant along almost the
entire route. This timber is valuable.
and will more than pay the cost Of clear
ing and fencing the farms.
The road is being pushed on as fast as
labor can do it; some 600 hands are at
work on the southern end, and we know
not how many on the other end. 1t is
intended to compile about 20 miles per
month, and to have the road completed
to Ashland By the fall of 1878.
We have been shown some as fine
specimens of iron and copper ore add
quartz ore, as we ever saw, taken from
the IN arquette range which crosses
the line of the road near the Black Riv-
er, some 60 miles above Stevens Point.
The deposits of valuable ores are said to
exist in asst richness along the entire
line, and cannot fail to soon become a
source of untold wealth to our State.

does not. But if he takes only SO much
wine as his medical adviser prescribes,
if. further, he only does what is SO much
the custom ia fashionable circles in Wash
ingtor. and what some selfstyled advo-
Gates Of temperance even feel at liberty
to do-namely. occasionally drink glass
of wine at weddings, or at the house OF
a friend-much as all st,ict temperance
people must lament it, 1t IS not such a
fault as to make them overlook his great
virtues and services, his mo1esty, his pu-
ritv of life, and his avowed friendship
for whatever is good. 1t may do for pol
iticians to invent groundless charges. but
let not Christian men, temperance men,
be too eager to believe reports which are
wholly calumnious, and which are only
intended to break the unity and strength
of the moral and religious element In the
Republican party.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The less man thinks or knows about
his virtues the better we like him.
Prefer diligence before idleness, IN
less you esteem rust above brightness.
= He is not only idle who does nothing,
but he is idle who might be better EN-
ployed.
The chains of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they ere too strong to
be broken.
Men may judge US by the success OF
our efforts, God looks at the efforts them
selves.
Many a nan breads throwing away his
life at once, who shrinks not from throw
| ing 1T away piecemeal.
He who has not forgiven an enemy, has
never yet tasted one of the most sublime
enjoyments of life.
There is no sin we can be tempted to
commit but we shall find greater salts
faction in resisting than committing.
Many a light. hailed by too careless OBJ
servers as fixed star, has proved to be
only short lived lantern at the tail Of a
newspaper kite.
Kindness is the music of good will to
men; and on this harp the smallest ing-
ers may play heavens sweetest music on
earth.
Here is a fine smile written by the
late n. P. Willis:
IF you have ever seen field of broom
corn-the most careless branching and free
swaying of all the products of summer
and can fancy the contrast In its destiny
between sweeping the pure air with the
winds handling, and sweeping what it
more usefully may, when tied up for hand
ling broomS. you can understand the diff
ference feel when using my thoughts
at my pleasure, as In country life, and
using them for subsistence, as in my pres
ent profession.
Some men move through life as band
OF music moves down the street, hinging
out pleasure on every side through the
air to every one, far and near, who can
listen. Some men fill the air with their
presence and sweetness, as orchards, In
October days, I'll the air with perfume of
ripe fruit. Some women cling to their
own house like he honeysuckle over
the door, yet, like it, fill all the region
with the subtle fragrance of their good
ness How great bounty and blessing
it is SO to hold the royal gifts of the soul
that they shall be music to some. and
fragrance to others, and life to all 1t
would be no unworthy thing to live for,
to make the power which we have with
in US the breath of other men S joy to
fill the atmosphere where they must stand
with brightness which they cannot Gre
ate for themselves.
Nature will be reported. All things
are engaged in writing their history. The
plant and the pebble goes attended by its
shadow. The rolling rock leaves its
scratches on the mountain side; the riv-
err its channel in the soil; the animal its
bones In the stratum the fern leaf its
modest epitaph in the coal; the falling
drop makes its sepulchre in the sand or
stone not footsteap into or along the
ground, but prints its characters more or
less lasting. map o. its march every
act of the man inscribes itself on the
members of its fellow. and on his OVID
face. The air is full of sound-the sig
natures, and every object is covered over
with hints that speak to the intelligent

that the different officers of the bees are

K. ii. Dana, Jr., of Boston, in his
