LIBERTY
And man has welcomed the cold tomb
To shun the dungeons damper doom
The earth whereon he ate his bread
Lay warmer TO the victims head,
And the chains hung dangling DER his grave
That bound the solitary slave.
So long in dungeon left to brood,
The fly that crawled upon his food
Seemed company the slave Of thought,
Whose years OF solitude had wrought
That crimson cancer of the mind,
And choked the heart in frost confined.
But though the crust ia iced with woe,
The struggling spirit throbs below;
The nerve that frets beneath it's chain
Will wear the gall to keener pain;
Unlike the simple hearts that bear
Grown crisp and callous with despair.
The stagnate pools freeze to the ground
And every crop is crystaled round;
Peace for the pulse within the breast
Is stiled, and dademed, and can rest.
The lively current scorns the ice
That hugs its waters like a vlse,
And ID its narrow channel pent
The smothered passion wreathes for vent;
All that the swollen waters felt
Unto the single drop is dealt
Az when the casks vile dross Is froze,
The very heart more sparkling flows
The fettered food the prisoned soul,
Will curse the chains that check their goal;
Wilder the fierce convulsive motion
For liberty or boundless ocean.
But there's sunny cline where tree
The ocean smiles eternally,-
The Heaven of waters, where the shore
Basks in the sunshine ever more.
And there's cline more glorious
Ger coils OF Care victorious
Tue Ocean OF the soul where free
The human wave sleeps beauteously.

The JOY found in quaffing
The pleasure of laughing
Will scatter our pain.
There light will be sorrow,
No heart t-aches we'll borrow,
No blues for tomorrow,
Can make US insane.
So laughing's treasure,
An innocent pleasure,
Divinest and fair.
The habit abundant
Scarce ever redundant
Needs no commandment,
Nor ordinance rare.
1t lights up the features
OF all human creatures,
Divides by gap
From the races below.
Human graces here grow,
Melancholy o'erthrow.
With not mishap.
Is laughing contagious
1t would be outrageous
To strangle TO death.
Ring it cut merrily,
Happily, cheerily,
Never smile drearily
Our mirth to suppress.
Then laugh and grow lusty,
Diseases are musty,
Occasioned by gloom.

A MARVELLOUS FEAT.
A NFALK ACROSS TEE MISSOURI BY PROF.
HARDEsTY ON HIS woaDERFvL 1svEN-
TION, THE WATER SHOE.
Leavenworth Press.

Agreeable to announcements made
through the Press, and according to the
programme laid out, Prof. Charles Hardss-
ty accomplished one of the most remarka-
ble feats ever performedin the nineteenth
century. The programme announced that
the Professor would walk from the east
end of the Missouri river bridge. The
start was made at about half past two
o'clock 10 the afternoon, and in in nine and
half minutes from the time of starting
the west side was reached. The river at
that point, owing to the narrowness of the
channel and the extraordinary rise of the
past tso Sags. had acquired velocity of
over fonrteen miles per hour. which rem
dered the feat much more difficult than t
would have been in an ordinary stage of
water.
The crowd commenced gathering at the
place designated IN the bills about one
o'clock, and by two o'clock the river for
over mile was packed with carriages and
pedestrians. When the west bank was
reached cheer after cheer went up from the
delighted auditory, all of whom proclaimed
it to be the most marvellous feat of the age.
After resting few moments the manner of
working the shoes was explained, showing
that any person of ordinary intelligence
could walk more easily than upon snow
shoes in winter. The Professor then, by
attaching the two shoes together, showed
how one could sit down, or lie down with
perfect ease and safety, and established
the fact that his wator shoes" were the
most perfect life preserver ever invented.
1t is the intention of the inventor to give
a series of exhibitions at the principal mar
itime cities in the world, and will challenge
Capt, Boyton or any other inventor to a
trial as to the utility and perfectness Of the
various inventions for the preservation of
life upon the high seas, or any ofthe navi-
gable waters of the globe.

Out OF which each Thanksgiving came puddipgs and

But the dearest of memories I've laid mp in store

Day in and day out, from morning till night.

Tee Much Water.

LOCK Melone in 3. l.. Tribune. 81 g.5sf
Workers in the temperance causs, while
warning the people against too free indul
gence in certain drinks, have overlooked
water. There is lurking devil in water.
Too much water induces watery tissues !;
the latter, disease; disease, death.
One may eat dish at supper which Is too
salty. Soon be feels thirst, and takes big
drink; it is not satisfying, and after while
he takes bigger drink. Now, he feels
like burning desert, loses control of him
self, and plnnges headlong into dissipation.
He retires with heavy heart and a sinking
stomach. He arises in the morning, expe-
riencing that remorse which comes over
one after he has been wasting the life that
God has given him, in riotous drinking.
His stomach is swollen, and feels hard and
blue, like cold, hard boiled egg looks, and
seems sore and stiff, as il a mule had kicked
it the day before. The drunkard looks lam
gnidly in his glass, he beholds the image of
o bloated corpse. All this might have been
avoided If he had had the manhood to re-
refrain from drinking water. The thirst
would have passed away of itself, and left
nc bad effects. Or If he had thought to
drink beer, there would have been ne OPP

large and helpless family dependent upon

now seems to him insipid, life watery, and
his stomach crammed full Of dough, only
there is jest room enough for little bue-.

pie.
or all forms of dissipation, flooding the
stomach with cold water before breakfast
is, perhaps, the most cheerless. The man
who surrenders himself to such shivering
debauchery. and goes on such bleak ben
der, can never get office-he has no mag
netism, no friends.
How many promising young man has

THE SECOND GENERATION.
THE SONS OF ABE LINCOLN AND DsTapHES i !.
DOUGLAS.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Several journals have noted the fact that
the son of Abraham Lincoln and the son OF
Stephen A. Douglas are now both in Chi
cago practicing law, and it has been sug-
gested that Illinois may at an early day
witness another great struggle in which the
names of Lincoln and Douglas will be most
conspicuous, as was the case in 1859 aud
again in 1860. Those who have predicted
such a battle evidently have little knowl-
edge of the two Young men who now repre-
sent the two greatest names known in the
contests Of Illinois. There will be no po-
litical battl between young Lincoln and
young Douglas for several reasons.
In the first place, they are both Republic
cans, and therefore, not political antago-
nists. In the second place, young Douglas
has been too much of politician and young
Lincoln too little of a politician to make it
at all probable that either will approach the
fame of his father as political leader.
Douglas was unfortunate in getting into
politics as carpet-bagger in North Caro-
lima; was Speaker Of the House during Hol-
den's disgraceful administration, and he
has an unwelcome flavor about him for the
people of the West. Lincoln has much of
his fathers ability without his love for pol
itics. and has stuciously refrained from all
prominence in political movements, and de-
clined all offers of political advancement.
~
Douglas has his fathers taste for partisan
battles but lacks both his aggressive ability
and his devoted friends. Lincoln could
rally the mass of those who revere his
fathers memory, but he wisely applies
himself to his profession and rejects all
ideas of political distinction. 1t Is quite
improbable. therefore, that the future po-
itical disputes of Illinois will make the
names of Lincoln and Douglas famous.

A Wife. Sale Complication.

Van Amburg is the man who lives in
Central New York, and who is likely to be-

Of wife and subsequent incidents connect-

from man named Joseph Weod, who was
evidently tired and sick of her, and who
was glad to sell her for So and kitchen ta-
BILE. The woman, it appears, was perfectly
satisfied with the transaction, and changed
her name from Mrs. Wood to Mrs. Van
Amburgh without the slightest objection.
But an accident happened, as they some
times win, even in as well regulated fam
lily as this. and Mrs. Weod-Amburgh drank
several glasses of beer, and as result, was
run over and killed ON the Erie Railroad
station, near her, second home. OF course,
damages were wanted, but the question 10,
