Life without Winter.

mrs. Beeeher stowe on Her Winter Retreat
In FIorida-A Choice of CIimate-What tt
COsts-An Kcstasy Of Life.
Mrs. Beecher Stowe writes from her winter
retreat in Florida "We hear that the hotels
and boarding houses on the river are begin
ming to be thronged, and no wonder. What
is the use of a glorious Union if one doesn't
use its choice Of climate? Shall people buy
rocky bits of land on the shores of the Atlantic
and put up houses at the cost of tens and
twentes of thousands for two months sum-
msr bathing, and neglect the better chance OF
a winter home for six of the severe months
Of the year? Every year, as we come down,
we count new houses rising on the shores of
the 81. Johns, attesting the progress of CONF
mon sense in this direction. Many delicate
consumptive, many dyspeptic and nervous
invalid might be saved TO long life Of en-
tioyment merely by dropping winter out of
the category of things to be endured. As to
expense, $500 invested in an acre of land, a
simple, inexpensive cottage, would be speed
ily made up in the cost of fuel for Northern
winter. One lives here SO simply-the re-
quirementS of dress and society are so few,
that, even counting travelling expenses, it is
a saving to be here, if health and happiness
are left out of the question. The life of
Northern cities is Over-stimulated, and we
here. Then the whole hot, busy, ANXIOUS,
running, racing, breathless North fades away
into the most graceful, pearly tints of blue
distance.
We feel almost as souls may that have
passed the great river and turn to look back
on the shores of life. All is peace. A thOus-
and anxieties drop like q mantle. Voices of
hot haste and mad hurry die in the distance.
SANDERS, gossips, scandals are things Of the
past. Do the redbirds understand them ?
Not one whit. Will the mocking-bird care
for them: Not he. While we write great
yellow butterfly, a living air-bossom, is Cos.
sipng round the gilded wires of the bird
cages. There tulip and opal and rainbow are
chattering to each other, and bright yellow
canary is giving lessons to the three in oper-
attic singing. What can be more beautiful,
more dream-like, than the life of a butterfly ?
Does it remember when it was a poor, crawl
ing worn: With such ecstasy let US hope
some poor, faithful souls, who have crawled
over one little damp spot of earth, faithful
over few things, will burst forth when death
breaks their prison. Fancy poor soul who
never did anything but make shirts at five
cents apiece released and floating about in
such ecstasy of life as this. Christian Union.

''Oh, if nv love would come to me-.
Would come 10 me and speak to me
Out Of these shadows dark and drcc,
NV heart would so much lighter he,
Nv heart would 80 much lighter be-"
Sang Cecily, said Cecily.
"Oh, if my love would come TO me,
And say the words he said 10 me
Another day for love Of me,
The world would so much brighter be,
The world would so much brighter be-"
Sang fair, deserted Cecily.
" oh, il NV love would come 10 me,
And hold nv hands and look at me,
The while he softly spoke to me,
Ny life would so much brighter be.
Nv life would so much brighter be"
Desparingly sang Cecily.
But silent and away from me,
lie has no word of cheer for me,
For one dark day he doubted me,
And doubling me. grew hard to me,
And doubling me, grew hard to me,
Half bitterly sang Ceciy.
But oh, if he would come to me,
Just for little while to me,
Before he left me, he should see,
That was true "a truth could be,
That was true as truth could be-
sang tenderly, sweet Ceciiy.
.'Oh. If he would but come to me
For long enough to learn of me,
This precious truth, and say to me
The word he said before to me,
For love Of me, for love of me-
Sang Cccily, fair Cecily.
NV way would 80 much brighter be,
Nv cross would SO much lighter be,
And patiently I'd wait and see,
Whatever was in store for me,
Whatever was in store for me,
sang wisttully, poor tccily.
But now through shadows dark and drce
He will not help me, who might be
4 rock amid this surgng sea,
A shield between the world and me,
A shield between the world and me,
Sand teariully, Cecilv.
"And all ask TO comfort me,
Is that he'll come once more 10 me,
And say the words he said TO me
Another day, for love of me,
Another day, for love of me-
sang pleadingly, sweet Cecily.
"Yet though these shadows dark and drcc
Grow hard and darker yet to see,
l will not doubt, as he doubts me,
But still believe he'll come to me,
But still believe he IL come to me! -
With sudden cheer
Sang high and clear
This fond and faithful Cecily.

Rock Island Arsenal Dam.

This fine piece of government work was
last Friday. 1t is grand spec
linen of masonry, and will rank with the
best in the country. 1t is at sharp curve
in Sylvan Water tan arm Of the Nlissis-
sippi river and is within our city limits.
1t is built Of solid blocks of Joliet stone
is seven hundred feet long, six feet wide
at the base and three feet six inches on the
top, with forty-one counter-forts project
ing on the south side and standing out
from the gate-ways. These counter-fo forts
are eight feet wide at the base, and zen
feet wide at the top, as they do not follow
the inward slope of the dam. The main
wall is twenty-five feet Highland the
counter forts rise to within four feet and
half of its top.
The first stone Of the dam was set in
August, 1872, and the work continued till
November when it was stopped for winter,
the Golfer dams broken and water let in.
less than one third of the wall was finish
ed Setting of stone was not resumed
until the 18th of last August-and since
that day seventeen hundred yards of stone
have been laid, the whole wall containing
twenty-five hundred yards.
This rapidity of work was due to new
plan of supplying the settlers with stone
carried over the work on tram ways and
lowered directly into the desired place
thus enabling the dam 70 be built at about
$l5, 900 less expense than would have beer
the case had the old fashioned method o
supplying settlers and using crane derrick
, been followed. About one hundred ant
fifty men have been employed upon thu
/ whole work,
The water openings are nine feet high
= and seven feet and half wide. A shat
: will run along the outside of the counter
forts geared to turbine wheels below, an
having a drum at the island end. Powe
will be transmitted from the shaft to tn
: great shops one thousand feet distant b
: means of wire cable With eight feet ia
2 Il of water, which it will have even at 10
= water, the wheels will furnish one thousan
horses power
We believe it is contemplated having
: foOt-path, with ratings, over this dam, {
> that employees can thus pass back ar
:, forth. The recent addition of the Sim
y and Brooks property (adioining this dan
= to this city will furnish cheap lots whe
employees can secure themselves permane
" homes close by their work.

Mai. Beardsley, our county agent to Wis
it Springfield and look after the interests
of our countyin equalizing the assessment,
returned Saturday evening. He informs
us that the committee IN lands agreed
10 report in favor of adding per cent
to farming lands, and 70 deduct Is per
cent. from city lots. He has no doubt
that these reports will be adopted by the
Board The report on personal property
had not been made public, but he thinks
there will be little or no change from the
county assessment.
There has been a good deal of complaint
because our county Board failed to equal
ize city lots with farm property. The ac-
ton of Maj Beardsley will, in measure,
remedy this fault, as the addition of 4 per
cent. to lands and the deducting Is from
lots, will make 10 per cent. difference, and
perhaps make something near an equal
lied assessment,
Each township can make their own ap
plication of the matter. The effect in thi
town will be to reduce the assessment l,
per cent. In towns where there are lot
and lands, it adds per cent. to one an
takes off Is from the other.
