Committee on the 14th to the effect that he
had no knowledge of any dealings between
Ames and any congressman; told Ames he
wouldn't have any stock where contro-
versy existed; derived his knowledge OF the
Credit -Mobilier from Mr.. Train: ,Ames never
tried to influence his legislative action;
never saw share of the Credit -Mobiler
until shown him few days since by
Brooks; once borrowed $500 of Ames and
returned it. n ~
Benjamin f. Ham, Treasurer of the Credit
Mobilier, testified that NELSON'S name
appeared on the books as the holder of 100
shares; didn't know of Brooks having any

NOW.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

BY CHARLES MACKAY.
THE venerable Past is passed;
'Tis dark, and shines not in the way
Twas good, no doubt-'tis gone az last
There dawns another day.
Why should we sit where iv1es creep,
And shroud ourselves in charnels deep,
Or the worlds yesterdays deplore
Mid crumbling ruins messy hOar;
Why should we see with dead mems eyes,
Looking at Was from morn to night,
When the beauteous Now, the divine TO BE,
Woo with their charms our living sight?
Why should we hear but echoes dull
When the world of sound, so beautiful,
VIII give us music of our own?
Whyin the darkness should we grOpe
When the sun, in heavens resplendent cope,
Shines as bright as it ever shone?
The Present needs us. Every age
Bequeaths the next for heritage;
No lazy luxury or delight,
But strenuous labor for the right;
For Now, the child and sire of Time,
Demands the deeds of earnest men
To make it better than the past,
And stretch the circle Of its ken.
Now is fact that men deplore,
Though it might bless them evermore,
Would they but fashion it Alright,
'Tis ever new, tits ever bright.
Time nor eternity hath seen
A repetition of delight
In all its phases; neer hath been
For men or angels that which is;
And that which is hath ceased to be
Ere we have breathed it, and its place
Is lost in the eternity.
But Now is ever good and fair,
of the Infinitude the heir,
And we of it. So let us live
That from the Past we may receive
Light for the NOw-frOm Now JOY
That Fate nor Time shall ne'er destroy.

PROGRESS OF THs TRAoE-LAYTNd-THE RAILS
WORK UPON THE BRIDGES &o.
reporter of the Reading Eagle has been over
IN line OF the Berks county II. Il, and we cu,l
the following from his observations:
The work Of track.laying is being pushed for
ward rapidly and some four miles have ALREADY
been placed down. commencing at the foot Of
Sixth street. Mr.. ]. g Heig, Supt. of the track
laying, has some 30 men employed who are ad
vAncing at the rate of about quarter OF q mile
a day. All the street crossings are placed in an
excellent condition, and the road is balasted as
the track laying progresses. The stills are placed
close together, aud the read is in every respect
being constructed in the most careful and sub
stantial manner. Mr.. ]. D. Dietrich is tho rail
inspector whose duty it is to inspect carefully
all the rails before they are shipped from the
mills where they are manufactured. O1e-half
the rails are received from the Columbia Steel
and Iron Company, and the other half from At
kins Il Bro, Pottsville.
25OO tons Of rails have been delivered 1900
tons OF which will be sent to Slatington next
week. Track laying will also be commenced at
that end OF the line ae soon four or five miles
are graded, aud thus the work will be conduc-
ted from both ends until the tracklayers meet
In addition to the four miles of main track CON
siderable siding has already been laid on River
street aud branch OF about half a mile in
length, leading to the Lebanon Valley Railroad
for the purpose of transferring freight from one
road to the other.
We will add here that the railroad bridge CROSS
ing the Schuylkill at Poplar Neck is compile
ted and is nov being whitewashed; the one cross
ing the river imne diatey below Eokert's fur
nance il half finished, two of the spans being

VALLEY is flag station, one mile north of
Coatesvle, and is really one OF the suburbs Of
that town. Samuel Greenwood operates large
woolen manufactory here, and the cluster OF
houses in which the operatives live gives 1t the
appearance OF goodly sized village.
OLD ROAD mile and half further north is
also, hag station located at the crossing of an
old County Road. Near this station switch
from the main track is laid to the extensive ice
houses OF Pusey Il Rice, of Wilmington. These
houses are eight IN number and have capacity
ofor the storage OF tens of thousands Of tons
ofnce This article alone has made this one of
the principal shipping stations on tue Rail Road.
Being centrally located large quantities are
shipped almost daily to Wilmington, Reading
Philadelphia, and West Chester, besides other
towns in the Interior.
BRANDYwINE, d station located about three
miles North of Coatesville, is the shipping point
for the large rolling mills of d Il. X Hatfield
which are located here. These works employ
about 30 men, giving the place ths appearance
of quite bustlug little village. WaEontown
country post village is located about half
mile West and is supplied with a daily mail
from Braudywine station.
HIBERNIA, a flag station, little over half
mile futher on, Is the location Of the large forge
and rolling mills of Goodman Il Phillips. hlr.

here This is the only place in all this iron re-
gion where charcoal iron is now manufactured
LlddIGIs is also a flag station, about mile
further on,and miles north of Coatesvile with
mill on the Brandywine The country all along
here is beautifully picturesque and romantic,
MANoR.-rhe hilly and rugged character of
the country around give very different idea to
that which the name of the station implies 1t ls
flag station, principally for passengers and is
located nearly seven miles north of Coatesyie
HoNEYBRooK il another flag station, located
near Macceduffs grist and saw mills.
Beaver is located on what is called Beaver
Dam. The Honeybrook Grove, place becom-
ing famous for picnic and excursion grounds,
are located here. Certainly no more romantic
and handsome location could have been selected,
and the officers OF the ra lroad Company deserve
great praise for their wisdom and foresight, in
providing place where excursionists from the
crowded cities can breathe the pure atmosphere
and drink in the fresh beauties of nature.
Amongst the many excursions to the grove dur
ing the summer, that Of the Union NJ E. Sunday
School from Wilmington was the largest, and so
well pleased was that school with the beauties of
the location that they already contemplate re-

Although there are four Quarterly meetings
held during the year in the African Union Col
ored Methodist Protestant Church, the fall meet
ing is distinguished from the others by the name
of the big Quarterly"
Yesterday being the occasior OF the recurrence
OF this festal day to colored population, vast
crowds OF them began to pour into the city at an
early hour, some walking and others in every
conceivable kind OF wheeled vehicles Besides
those present from the surrounding cotntry the
trains upon the different Railroads contributed
largely to swell the great aggregate. special
train was run upon the W. d w., and also one
upon the r, W. u B Railroad from Philadelphia
for the accommodation Of the oolored people
The steamboats, also, such rs could be spared
from their regular trips, were brought into re-
QUESTION, and by nine o'clock the ReyboLd from
Salem, the ArieL and the Perry, both from Phil.
adelphia, each having not less than eight hum
dren persons on board, discharged their car
goes OF living freight at the, foot of French st.
wharf, from whence the sable visitors proceeded
IN quiet and orderly manner, TO call upon their
friends in different parts OF the city, By ten
O'Clock it was moderately estimated that not less
than 900 visitors were In town.
OF course. out of this large number but
small portion Of them attended the religious ex-
ercises at the church, that edihoe, though large
and crowded'all day, not having sufficient capa-
city to accommodate all.
Theireligious exercises commenced by love
feast at the early hour Of O'Clock in the morn
ing, which continued until Z. At 101< A. M. a
sermon was preached by Rev. James Smith,
from Massachusetts. The afternoons services
we're conducted by Daniel Russell, the President
of the District, and the evening sermon was
preached by Rev. Mr. Hopkins. from New York,
and President OF the Eastern District.
In the evening the mass of the visitors started
for their homes in the same conveyances in
which they come, and as the Perry, the Ariel and
the Reybo!d, one after the other, steamed down
the Christians, the sight was onsiof the most
pleasant imaginable and a novelty seldom seen
upon the river.
A large number who remained in the city over
night returned in the various trains to their
homes this morning. We are informed by old
colored people that this was one OF the largest
aud most pleasant "Big Quarterlies" within their
recollection. 1t was gratifying to note that the
crowd was respectful and orderly, and not an ar
rest was made last night.
