The Crusade Triumph.
Roll on, roll on, the ball is moving,
The Temperance cause is gaining ground.
King Alcohol his power is losing,
There'll soon be none to praise him found;
See how be quails in fear before US,
His subjects to our banner fly,
It's floating now triumphant DER Us,
We will defend it till We die.
Press on, press on, from hill and valley,
See how from East and West they come.
Press onward, to our standard rally,
There's room enough for every one;
The inebriate, wretched and forsaken,
Are welcomed BY our temperance band,
New life will in their souls awaken,
When strengthened by brothers. hand.
Flash on, flash on, the scintillations
That beam across our onward way,
Are lighting earth's remotest ma atoms,
And bursting into perfect day;
Already see the signs of morning,
Are beaming on the lands afar,
We soon shall see brighter dawning
Lit by our glorious Temperance Star.

A MILE IN TH1Rrr.Two SEcoNps.-Th

A MILE IN THIRTY-TWO SECONDS.-The
following story OF the achievement in re-
spect of speed, in an ice-boat on the Hud-
son, in the vincinity of Stattisburg last
week, is told by the Poughkeepsie Eagle ::
"Thursday last the wind blow very fresh
from the south, and the owner of the new
ice-boat Cyclone determined to take adj
vantage of the favorable opportunity for
timing his yatch. The Hudson at this
point is very wide, and at the course Sc
lected its breadth is one mile. Having
made every preparation for the feat to be
accomplished, the reel-points were shaken
out of the sails, and every stitch of canvas
spread to the gale. With two men on the
windward runner to keep the boat down to
the ice, the helm was turned, the sails fill
ed, and in a few moment, with every inch
of canvas drawing, she was under full
Roadway. Like an arrow from bow she
verified ice following in the surface of the
river, and in what seemed but an instant
the river had been crossed, and the mile
accomplished in the almost incredible time
of thirty-one seconds, being at the rate of
two miles in a minute and two seconds
Persons on shore compared the speed of
the flying racer to that of q meteor flashing
through the sky and watched her movements
with eager interest. The owner afterward
put the boat through some movements on
the ice, and astonished as we'll as paralyzed
the lookers-on by sailing all the way across
the river on one runner, the force of the
wind throwing her over on her beam ends
and raising the windward runner from ten
to twelve feet above the ice."

The man who thinks he can carry his
boyish pranks into the serious business of
life is not man, and defrauds himself and
his employer. CATER work, play" That
should satisfy the most sanguine. "Busi-
ness before pleasure" is the motto of the
prudent man whose guide is experience,
and it is sufficient for the novitiate in active
life. But it is despcable to see the young
man just starting in life SO welded to his
former enjoyments as to place them above
present duties. There is no royal road
to success any more than to knowl-
edge. He who would succeed must
work and after all there is more real en-
joymeut in work, which has a worthy OBJ
ject, than in play or pleasure, intended to
kill time. We remarked few days ago to
business man whose present means are
amply sufficient, but who worked really
harder than any ofhis numerous employees,
"that he ought to take it easy" Said he,
81 am never so happy as when have more
than can do, may wear out in working,
but dread to rust out in idling." He was
right his work was part of himself, q
part of his life, and it was always faithfully
done. To apprentices especially, this
earnestness and interest in their work is
necessary if success is ever to be obtained.

Tho towards Blow"
London Universe.

London Universe
The bravest nation of Europe has just
last death blow.
An imperial akase has conferred upon
General Kotzebue the title of Commander
in chief and Governor of Varsoviana-Var-
soviana, not Poland. The very name OF
place and people is to be no more.
It has not escaped public notice and pub
lie indignation that this cruel and most I'M
necessary outrage took place on the very
day that Francis Joseph of Austria (now
on visit to the. northern bear) was re-
viewing Russian regiment in the square
of st. Petersburg.
The Emperor of Austria is q strange
gentleman he calls himself Catholic, and
does much more than desert the head
OF the Church quietly but fearfully is he
storing up for himself "wrath against the
day of wrath" The ruin of the Hapsburghs
is as sure SO doomsday. But now, since
the dastardly act of Saturday last, Francis
Joseph must have utterly lost caste even
with those whom his past acts of treachery
to the Sovereign PontiH did not much
affect.
The Emperor of Austria feasting with
Russia and drinking to the oblivion of the
Polish nation, and passing in glorious re-
view those regiments which are armed,
ready if called upon, to make her homes
desolate Has the man no gratitude =
no care for decency 7-no brains Is he
without heart as we'll as without head ,!
Is he 80 anxious for ''friend at court"
that he will throw away all that makes
life tolerable in order to obtain onef Let
him but he shall not be able to defer, by
any amount of sneaking, "candid court
esq.," his well and long merited chastise-
ment.
When Sobieski, King of Poland, rescued
the imperial city of Vienna from the Turks,
he called the day on which he had achiev-
ed his victory the happiest OF his whole
life. He was so proud to be the instru-
ment of Heaven in saving q Catholic peo-
pie from the sword of Mahomet, he sent
to the Pope the standards he had taken,
with the following letter =
I came 1 saw, and God conquered.
Austria repays the act of her deliverance
by cruel meanness without parallel even
in this age of falseness and treacheries.
Well, we must have patience and wait
Gods time but it is grievous trial to
flesh and blood. Our soldiers are nowhere,
our hopes are disappointed, our friends fall
away-the world and the devil are them
| selves surprised at their success.
Everything, except the cause, is lost.
This remains, and therefore all remains
1t is true that
Our good knights are DUST
Their swords are rust;
But the cause survives and "God is able
out of the stones to raise up children to
Abraharn." And whatever comes to pass
1t will always be seen that valor and truth
and devotion and sacrifice will be on one
side, and treason and numbers, selfshness
and violence on the other.
Over the tombs of the heroes of the
Church it is written that they "Held faith
and honor far more dear than life" But
Sir Walter Scott has given us beforehand
au epitaph for Francis Joseph
| Shame and dishonor sit
BY his grave ever
Blessings shall halIow it
| Never, oh, never

for ecclesiastical appointments made by
the Curia Romano. In Italy the exhibition
or forwarding of Bulls to the civil authori-
ties ia strictly prohibited. But there is no
concealment .prscticed, and the nomina 5
tions are public. Tho recently appointed
Bishops have uniformly declined to present
their Bulls for the purpose of demanding
the Exequatur and obtaining the temper
alities. Bnt Immediately on their preconl-
cation in Consistory they give notice to
the civil functiOnaries, who generally reply
that they will issue the Exequatur on pre-
sentation of tho formal documents. These
documents are never presented, and the
Bishops attend to their spiritual duties and
trust to Providence for their support. The
Syndic of Cagliari, when Archbishop
Balma was appointed to that see, was anx-
ious to strengthen the Archbishop's power
of doing good and sought to induce him to
forward his Bulls. This the Archbishop
refused to do, but after consulting the
Pope, he caused the Bulls to be placed in
the sacristy, where any person might in
spect and copy them. The Syndic for
warded copy of these Bulls to the Gov
eminent authorities who then wrote to
the Archbishop to know whether he de-
sired the Exequatur. The Archbishop
gave a verbal reply, to the effect that he
would take no part in presenting his Bulls
and demanding the Exequatur, but stating
his wish to be recognized as Archbishop If
that recognition could be had without vio-
lating his conscience. The Exequatur has
issued.
THE POPE
His Holiness continues to give audiences
every day in the week, and his state of
health seems highly satisfactory. He re-
ceived this week populations of Poles and
Lithuanians, and visits from several dis
tinguished foreigners. The Papal Court
has of course been affected by the deaths
of Cardinals Tarquini and Barnabo, and
by the illness of Cardinal Capalti, who lies
in such state as to preclude all hopes of
his recovery. Cardinal Capalti was marke ed
out as the successor of Cardinal Barnabo
at the Propaganda by reason of his great
talents and ability, but for some time it
has been evident that no favorable termi-
nation to Cardinal Capalti's ailment (apop-
lexy) could be expected. It is conf
IDENTIFY rumored that new creation Of
Cardinals will be made in Easter week, and
that Archbishop Manning will be among
the recipients of the purple.-Lendon Tab

From tho Chicago Tribune. h,

When Charles Sumner was elected q
Senator, in 1851, George S. Boutwell, was
Governor of Massachusetts !; Henry Wilson,
President of the Massachusetts Senate, aud
Nathaniel P. Banks, Jr., Speaker of the
House in the Massachusetts Legislature.
Sumner and Wilson represented 81 1903
Free Soil votes, and Boutwell, and Banks
represented sc, 1868 Democratic votes, in
" coalition" against 1884 Wings. The
coalition shocked the established order
in Massachusetts in more ways than one.
1t was raid by young and aggressive men,
of whom the current inquiry was, " Who
are they Z" 1t was a trick in politics so
shrewd that subsequently, by common
consent, the way to it's repetition was
barred by constitutional amendment, in
Producing the plurality system in all cleo
tlons with fixed number of seats in the
Legislature. To explain how it was done {:
The " Coalitionists" voted separate party
tickets for Governor, and united on candi-
dates for the Legislature, electing in the
House, 2l0 members against IVA Wings.
The majority in the House filled the
vacancies in the Senate, which was made
Then the two bodies, in concurrence,
elected the Governor and other State
officers. 1t was comparatively easy to
carry out that part of the programme
which involved Boutwells election IA
Governor, and it was also easy to elect
nhutcul lIeuOCIaID 10 Ino uHeApiFeU Six
weeks of the Senatorial term but to elect
Sumner, an Aholitonist, to the full Sena-
torial term, there was the rub. The con-
test was protracted at the State House from
January into May, large number of
Democrats scattering their votes, fearing to
go on the record as voting for an Adolf
ZIONIST, but fearing more that by absentinC
themselves q Wing (Robert c. Winthropl
should be- chosen. In that Legislature
were, we believe, Ben Butler and Caleb
Cushing, Democrats, not openly voting for
Sumner; and Samuel Hooper and Henry
L. Dawes, Wings, voting for Winthrop.
Finally the Legislature framed what was
famously known in Massachusetts for some
act " for all elections ; and, on the first
count of votes under the sealed ballot"
Charles Sumner was found to be chosen.
When, subsequently, Caleb Cushing was
in Pierce's Cabinet, and Ben Butler was
the Democratic candidate against Banks,
Republican, for Governor of Massachu-
setts, and when Democrats had patronage
and a Southern constituency, responsibility
for Charles Sumner in the Senate was
readily shirked by an appeal to the record
of atrd roce votes, and the secrets of the
SEALED ballot" were ever scaled. The
coalition was in power two years, bat
could not survive the Presidential election
of 1852 and with the ascendency of the
Democrats in tho nation, and the reascen-
dency ofthe Wings in Massachusetts, it look
ed gloomy enough for the young men who
had 80 bravely seized a state in defiance of
hereditary rules and tradition. Who, then,
could have predicted that these young men

and Burlngame-weres so largely to fill the

Genius of Energy.

There is no genius in life like the gen.
JUS of energy and activity. You will learn
that all the traditions so current among
young men-that certain great characters
have wrought their greatness by an in.
SEPARATION, as it were-grow ont of great
mistake. And you will further find, when
you come to measure yourself with men,
that there are no rivals 80 formidable as
those earnest, determined minds which
reckon the value of every hour, and which
achieve eminence by persistent application.
Literary ambition may infiame you at Ger.
tain periods, and the thought of some great
name will flash like spark into the midst
of your purposes you dream until mid
night over your books you set up shadows
and chase them down-other shadows and
they fly. Dreaming will never catch them.
Nothing makes the "scent lie we'll" in the
hunt after distinction but labor.
And it is glorious thing, when once you
your own aimless thoughts, to take
up some glowing page of an earnest thinker,
and read deep and long until you feel the
metal of his thoughts tinklipg on yonr
brain, and striking out, flow, finty
flashes of ideas that give mind light and
heat. And away you go, in the chase OF
what the soul within is creating on the in
what seemed SO crude. The glow of toll
wakes you to the consciousness of your
real capacities; you feel sure that you
have taken q new sleep towards final de-
velopement. In such mood it is that one
feels grateful to the musty tones which at
other hours, stand like curiosity making
mummies, with no warmth and no vitality.
Now they grow into the affections like new
found friends and gain a hold upon the
heart, and light fire in the brain, that the
years and the mould cannot cover or
quench.

RAILROAD ACROSS THE ANDEs.-One. of
the grandest works of this age is now being
constructed across the Peruvian Andes,
connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Am
AEON River by means of a railroad, and
opening the whole interior of Peru to the
commerce of the world. Hitherto that
rich and immensely productive country, SO
graphically described in the United States
reports of Lieuts. Herndou and Gibbon,
has been virtually locked up to foreign
trade; the transportation of one ton of
freight from the interior of Peru to the sea-
port, Lima, costing three times as much as
the transportation of the same amount of
freight from Lima to Europe. The rail-
road in question was begun in 1870, and
has already cost over $40, 100000. 1t is
estimated that it will be finished in 1876.
Over 10000 laborers, mostly Chinese are
constantly employ ed on it. The enormous
difficulties that have to be overcome in the
construction of this road may be estimated
from the fact that the Andes rise there to
q height of 20, 800 feet above the level of
the sea. The road itself rises II 900 feet,
and is by far the highest railroad in the
world. Even the Mont Gents Railroad
sinks into insignificance when compared
with the Peruvian undertaking. The road
has also the highest viaduct in the world,
it being $50 feet long and 300 feet high in
the centre. 1t rests on three pillars, OF
which the first is 166, the second 1873, and
the third 253 feet high is bnilt of iron
aud was manufactured in the United States

THE ART OF SPEAK1NG.-Man is natural
ly speaking animal; and a good style is
merely that accomplishment in the art of
verbal expression which arises from the
improvement of the natural faculty by
good training. The best training for the
formation of style is, of course, familiar
intercourse with good speakers and writers.
A mans vocabulary depends very much
always, and in the first stage perhaps al
together, on the company he keeps. Read
the best compositions of the most lofty
minded and eloquent men, and you will
not fail to catch something of their nobili-
ty, only let there be no slavish imitation of
any mans manner of expression. There is
q CERTAIN individuality about every mans
style, as about his features, which must be
preserved. Also, be not over anxious about
mere style, as if it were thing that could
be cultivated independently of ideas. Be
moro careful that you should have some
thing weighty and pertinent to say, than
that you should say things in the most
polished and skilful way. There is good
sense in what Socrates said to the clever
young Greeks in this regard, that if they
had something to say they would know
how to say it; and to the same effect spoke
st. Paul to the early Corinthian Christians,
and in these last times the wise Goethe to
the German students
