American Women.

Another reason of the delicacy of our
women is the far greater style affected by
all classes in dress, and the wearing of
corsets during early youth Naturally,if
one has attained full and fine physical
development. tight corsets, heavy skirts,
close fitting boots and weighty chignons
cannot injure to the same extent as when
these appliances are put upon the soft
and yielding muscles of young and
growing girl The noble ladies of Eng
land exercise many hours daily in the
open air They do not disdain to don
heavy calfskin shoes and colored petit
coats, in which to perform this duty.
This of course would not alone make
them as healthy as they are, were not
their constitutions strengthened by
proper physical education before they
are eighteen years of age, but it suttices
to retain them in a good degree of health.
Our fair Americans, early in the day,
attire themselves in charming costumes,
with white skirts, and then they are
averse to soiling these by exercise and
the least dampness deters them from n
promenade. American ladies think far
more of dress and fashion, and spend
more money and time on their toilets,
than any womenin Europe, not even
excepting the French, from whom all our
fashions come.

Beautiful Extract.

l saw temple reared by the hand of
men, standing with its high pinnacles in
the distant plain. The streams beat upon

derbolts against it-and yet it stood as
firm as adamant. Revelry was in its
halls-the gay, the happy and the beau
tiful were there. ] returned and the
temple was no more; its high walls lay
scattered in ruins; moss and wild grass
grew there, The young and the gay that
reveled there had passed away.
l saw a child rejoicing in his youth
the idol of his mother, the pride of his
father. l returned, and the child had
become old-trembl with the weight
of years, he stood the last of his genera
tion-a stranger amidst the desolation
around him.
1 saw an old oak standing in all its
pride, on the mountains--the birds were
caroling on its boughs. I returned: the
oak was leafless and sapless, the winds
were playing at their pastime through
its branches.
"Who is that destroyer2" said l to my
guardian angel.
at is Time, said he. when the
morning stars sang together in JOY over
the new-made world, he commenced his
course And when he shall have des-
troyed all that is beautiful of the earth
pluclzed the sun from his sphere-veiled
the moon in blood; yea, when he shall
have rolled heaven and earth away as
scroll; then shall an angel from the
throne of God come forth, and with one
foot on the sea and one hand on the
land, lift up his hand towards Heaven
eternal. Time is, Time was, but Time
shall be no more!

The Coal Road.

Our citizens having heard very little
from our coal road for some time, very
naturally begin to feel not little solici-
tude as to its commencement and early
completion. We have reason to know
that our directors have not been idle in
the meantime. Wholly unforeseen and
unavoidable complications have arisen,
that have caused delay. To remove these,
many meetings for consultation have been
held at various points, an active and ex-
tensive correspondence has been held
with numerous parties, with the view Of
getting matters in a proper shape, for
presentation to our people, so that when
they are asked to take action they may
know precisely what to expect.
The entire line of the road has been
carefully surveyed, and accurate esti-
mates. for the entire cost, of strictly
first-class road in every respectful
width embankments, wide cuts, low
grades, easy curves, iron bridges, stone
piers, abutments and culverts, rail sixty
five pounds to the yard, have been COM
pleted within the present week and for
warded to New York. As a part of the
plan that has been under considera-
for the last two months, to remove GER
tain complications, o vote under the Boo.
sci bill of 100000 by jackson county, to
aid the construction of our coal road, was
taken yesterday, with what result is made
known by the following telegram to E,

If our people will be patient very lit

must not feel that because they do not

Language Among Animals.

NJ. Houzeau maintains that. not only
does each group of animals possess a lan-
guage which is understood by other
members of the same group, but that
they can learn to understand the lam
guage of other groups. His dog, for in
stance. perfectly understood his poultry
Cocks and hens have one danger signal
for the approach of a bird of prey, anoth-
er for that of terrestrial animal or for q
man. When the latter was sounded the
dogs would rush out and bark, while to
the former they paid no attention what
ever. He, therefore, concludes that fowls
have the power of expressing slightly diff
ferent but closely allied ideas, and dogs
can learn to understand these differ

The Outlook for Infancy.
]. T. HEADLEY.

]. T. HEADLEY.
A boat lay on the summer sea,
The light waves round iL leaping,
While laughing Sunb beams, bright and free,
PIay'd Ger an inIant sleeping.
And lar away that bark in glee
Was DER the bright deep Straying,
While all around the dimpling sea
With -pDyrs soft was playing.
And oh twas sweet, around that child
To see the rippleS dancing;
And Ger its b1Ow, soft and mild,
The sunbeams brightly glancing.
And Oh! wished tnat naught might break
Tn angel spell that bound it,
Or nom its dreams the - int wake,
That plaY'd so oft around il.
But when far off upon the sky,
1 saw the tempest lower,
A mOurntul tear bedimm'd mine eye,
For l4sat unconscious flower.
For still that bark, so trail and light,
Was o'er the pillows sweeping;
And still within, fair and bright,
That infant form lay sleeping.
I turned away. for who could see
That child awake to sorrow,
The brightest smile so swift TO flee
THAT earth from heaven may borrow"
For well knew the angry wave
Would soon i'll wrath surround it,
And make its wild and lonely grave
Mid ocean weeds that bound it.
All! thus, methought, on life's frail tide
We make our youthful pillow;
And gaily DER its waters glide,
From billOw on to billOw.
But ahi too soon the angry storm
BlotS.Out each vision brig hteSt,
And oft, alas! it wraps tina form
In which the heart beats lightest.

"Be Cheerful.

"Be cheerful" says the man who is
easy in his roumstanoes, missing no loved
face at table, nor by thehearth. But does
he ever consider how hard it may be to
be cheerful when the heart aches, and
the cupboard is empty, and there are lit
tie fresh graves in the ehurch-yard, and
friends are few and indifferent, and even
God, for the time being. seems TO have
forgotten us, so desolate is our lot How
difficult for one man to understand an
other in such differing circumstances !!
How easy to say, BE cheerful~ How
hard he would find it topraotioe, were he
stripped of all life's brightness!

seldom very brief, once kept congrega-

preached them a very prosy sermon OF
unusual length, on the text, Feed my

that original old minister known as
"Camp-meeting john rose from a seat
in the congregation, and said: Brother

It is Well.
~ A. A. HOPKINS.

The air has borne some tender words
AS sweet as melodies of birds,
And benediciions soft and clear
Have Urembled on the waiting ear;
But never sweeter accents fell
Then Faith has uttered; at Is well"
Hope sits thro' each to-day and waits
The opening of Tomorrow gates,
And Patience wearily abideS
The veil that each tomorrow hIdeSi
But whether good or i'll forete II,
Faith sweetly whispers: ''1t Is Well
AlaSi for him who never hears
The words that quiet doubt and fears;
Who, bent with burdens, plOds along
With never any heart for song;
Who murmurs, come whatever Will,
To bless or chasten cit is WELL"
How dark the night when shine no stars! (!
How d un and heavy beings bars
When thro' them Faith can never see
Green fields beyond and liberty
How sad the day when wailing knell
Is louder than the SIT is well ~
AS soothing as a soothing balm,
A grand and yet tender psalm
Is floating over on the air,
Is blending with the mourner's prayer;
And saddest~ plants that ever fell
Finds answer in the "It is well.'
