The DEEPEST WE'LL. the

THE DEEPEST WELh.-In the village
of Sperenberg, about % miles distant
from Berlin, is situated the deepest well
in the world. It is for some distance is
feet in diameter and is 4,194 feet in
depth. It was begun about five years
ago by the government authorities With
a view to ascertaining the existence Of
rock-salt beneath the straits of gypsum
occurring in the locality. At depth of
$50 feet the salt was reached, but the
boring was continued to depth of $50
feet, the diameter of the bore being re-
duced to about Ii inches. The boring
was subsequently, prosecuted by steam
until the final depth of 4, 1914 feet was at
tanned. At the lowest point, the salt de
posts still continue, exhibiting the enor-
nous thickness of 2, 1907 feet.

THE COUNCIL OF HORSES.

Upon time a neighing steed,
Who grazed among numerous breed,
With mutiny had fired the train,
And spread dissension through the plain.
On matters that concerned the state
The council met in grand debate.
A colt, whose eye-balls famed with ire,
Elate with strength and youthful fire,
In haste stepped forth be fore the rest,
And thus the listening throng addressed:
Alas how abject is our race,
Condemned to slavery and disgracei
Shall we our servitude retain,
Because our sires have borne the chain?
Consider, friends, your strength and might.
Ills conquest to assert your right.
How cumbrous is the gilded coachI
The pride of man is our reproach.
Were we designed for daily toll,
To drag the ploughshare through the soil,
To sweat in harness on the road,
To groan beneath the carriers load?
How feeble are the two-legged kind
What force is in our nerves combined
Shall then our nobler jaws submit
To foam and champ the CALLING bit!
Shall naughty man my back bestride?
Shall the sharp spur provoke my side?
Forbid it, friends Reject the rein:
Your shame, your infamy disdain
Let him the lion first control,
And still the tigers fanished srowl.
Let u.s. like them, our freedom claim,
And make him tremble at our nance,
A general nod approved the cause,
And all the circle neighed applause.
When, 10 with grave and solemn pace,
A steed advanced before the race,
With age and long experience wise;
Around he cast his thoughtful eyes,
And to the murmurs of his train
Thus spoke the Nestor of the plain:
''When 1 had health and strength. like you
The tolls of servitude knew.
Now grateful man rewards my pains,
And gives me all these wide domains.
At will crop the years increase;
My latter life is rest and peace.
grant to man we lend our pains,
Help him to cultivate the plains;
But doth not he divide the care
Through all the labors of the year?
How many thousand structures rise
To fence us from mclement skies?
For us he bears the sultry day,
And stores up all our winters hay.
I, He sows, he reaps the haryest's grain;
We share the toll, and share the gain.
Since every creature was decreed
To serve each others mutual need,
Appease your disconnected mind, ~
And act the part by Heaven assigned.
The tumult ceased. The colt submitted,
And, like his ancestors, was bltted.

Western Grain in the East.

The sharp struggle which has sprung
up between the cities of the Atlantic sea-
board, over the profits of the Western
grain, is sure to result in good to the
West. The subject of the g terminal
charges is now an engrossing theme Of
discussion in the press of the competing
cities. A committee of the New York
Senate, after examining carefully into
the matter, has reported that the total
charges for transporting grain from a
canal boat after it's arrival in New York,
to a vessel in the harbor, is about SIS per
100 bushels. OF this sum, the weighing
fee is Is cents, elevating, IS cents, stor-
age Is cents, ighterage, $1.25 charges
to vessel, 621 to 80 cents clearing, 25
cents, and the remainder is set down to
towing, wharfage and harbor-master's
fees. The same grain, on its passage
through Buffalo, is subject to similar
charges of So. 80 per 100 bushels-mak-
ing the aggregate charges on cargo of
Western grain shipped through Buffalo
by canal to New York 1872 per 100
bushels, or nearly s cents bushel. We
have seen it stated elsewhere that the
cost of transporting freight from the cars
a6 JERSEY OlGy 10 vessels III new 1OfK
harbor amounts to cents per 100
pounds. On the other hand, it is assert
ed that the cost of transfer from cars to
Locust Point, at Baltimore, is less than
the half of one cent per 100 pounds.
This difference in favor of Baltimore is
large enough, if maintained, to give to
that city large share of the grain trade
of New York, and to materially threaten
the latter city's supremacy as an entire
pot.

called to witness this fact In the early struggle,
| Christianity lifted her hand solemnly above the
young republic, and 1t responded in an organ
shout that has echoed round the world. How
| feeble the beginnings Of the rebellion. Men
talked of the success Of party, State rights and
the like. But as the contest deepened, the giant
principles began to come to the front, and mems
hearts began to burn within them. The battles
edge bristled not alone with bayonets, but convic-
tons deep and sacred, as life CLEANED all along the
! line. At the North there was undying love OF
freedom, an undying hatred Of oppression. The
fountains of the great deep were broken up; our
wealth, our prayers, our blood, rolled over our
enemies like the waves Of the sea. 1t was con-
test for righteous principles, and legons of heroes
sprang to arms. Believing that our armies went
forth in holy cause, fought under the aegis OF
liberty and righteousness were carried to victory
by divine inspiration, it is fitting that In grateful
commemoration, we crown these soldiers graves
with flowers, and recount their deeds, and enter
this house of God to return thanks for that Holy
Spirit who has wrought IN us to will and to do his
good pleasure. Many Of our soldiers might have
been mercenary, unprincipled and adventures.
But the spirit that ruled the nation, unlocked its
treasures, and rendered us patient in suffering,
heroic in danger, steadfast in loyalty to principle
must have come out from God. The army, as a
body, was moved by this spirit The same spirit
is abroad in the land. moving us to engage in
these solemnities. When a crown of fresh flow
ers falls upon the grave Of a soldier, we remem-
Der that he was one OF that army which In the
hour of its trial represented the heart OF the ma
ton. We honor principles, not individuals. His
sacrifice was imperfect, but it stands as type of
that perfect offering, pure and strong heart pour
ing out its life in holy cause. Looking away
from the imperfect type to the splendid ideal, we
may pass with our emblcms of honor among the
graves impartially as great nature.
But let us not imagine that true patriotism is to
be worn like garment, in wars and crises, and
to be folded away in times of peace. 1t is to be
brought into daily life. The true patriot, like the
tlue christian, keeps his armor on and bright.
The commonwealth demands that every citizen
shall plant himself on the principles of justice and
equality, and righteousness, and 80 WELD his per-
sonal influence against all manner Of wickedness,
social and political, that shall slay like the sword
Our votes should be so aimed at corruption and
inquity that they will kill like bullets The trib
ute of flowers which you place on the graves of
our dead heroes, will fade in the first sun; but
your words and deeds of loyal devotion to the prin
ciples for which they died, will outwear the
courses Of nature. They will outlive the sun.
The discourse was finely delivered and elected

Curtis, Sanderson and Kicker assisted in the open
