porary to the Permanent Seat.
with Parkersburg the Halfway

lUuSCs
a right goodly number of the
most substantial and enterprisino
citizens OF Parkersburg, assembled
at the Court House last Saturday
evening in response to the call of
Mayor Wells, to take action in ref
erence to Weddings call for rail
road meeting in that city Yesterday

draft Resolutions expressive of the
sentiments of the citizens of Wood
county and Parkersburg touching
the proposed enterprise
The Committee, withdrawing to
the Shcritf's office, the meeting i'm
proved the time by an informal dis
cussion Of the Importance of the
road to our own city as we'll as to

action, now while such happy
junction of affairs exists, as assures
the early building of the road, if the
people along the route will show
that they want it.
In short time the Committee re-
turned and submitted the following

LOST TIME.-If you would make
the best use of your time, look
after the minutes. Keep strict
account of every hour Of your
time for a single week, setting
down the exact manner in which
every hour is spent, and see
whether, when you come to re-
view the record, you do not find it
full of admonition and instruc,
tiou. In this simple way one can
readily understand the secret Of
his want of time. He will discover
that he has given hours TO idle
talk, to Incidence and TO inconsid
cradle trifes, which have yielded
him neither profit nor pleasure
What is the remedy? Arrange
your work in the order of its com
paratice Importance. Attend first
to the things which are essential
to be done, and let the unessentials
take their chance afteFward. The
difference in the amount OF work
accomplished will be astonishing

l WELL ALWAYS FULL OF Ice

A WELL ALWAYS FULL OF Ice.
About half a mile from Browns
vile, Mimi, is a natural ice we'll.
On visiting it, says a correspon-
dent, we found a shaft about
twenty feet deep, and we could
plainly see ice in it. We then
visited a shaft few feet distant,
and Immediately upon entering it
a cloud of steam, caused by the
cold air coming in contact with
our heated bodies, rushed forth.
This shaft was excavated for the
purpose of ascertaining if possible
the cause Of the ice forming in
the we'll, some Of the inhabitants
believing in the theory of a large
cave being connected with it. At
Ter reaching the deptn OF 4Vo
feet without result drifting was
abandoned. Before the shaft was
made it is claimed that the we'll
filled with ice to within six feet
of the top. A thermonter marked
80 degrees Fahrenheit. About
six feet back from the mouth of
the tunnel the floor and sides are
in many places covered with ice.
A strong current of air constant
ly flows from the excavation that
is very perceptible 100 feet dis
tant. With the thermometer at
80 degrees an atmosphere below
the freezing point is pleasant to
contemplate, even though dan
gerous to investigate.

LoAFINe.-Does the young man
who persists in being a loafer ever
reflect how much less it would
cost to be a decent, respectable
man? Does he imagine that.
loaferism is more economical than
gentility? Anybody can be a gen
tlemau, if he chooses to be, with
out much cost, but it is mighty
expensive being o loafer. It costs
time, in the first place, days..
weeks and months of it; in fact,
about all the time he has, for no
man can be a first class loafer,
without devoting his whole time
to it. The occupation, well fol-
lowed, hardly affords time for eat
ing, sleeping, drive had almost
said drinking, but on reflection,
we will except that. The loafer
finds time to drink whenever In.
vited, at the cost of friends. Once
fully embarked on the sea Of loaf.
erdom and you bid farewell to
every friendly sail that sails under
al honest and legitimate flag.
Your consorts will only be the
buccaneers of society. 1t costs
money, for, though the loafer may
not earn a cent or have one for
months, the time lost might have
procured him much money, if de-
voted to industry instead of sloth.
1t costs health, vigor, comfort, all.
the true pleasures Of living, honor,
dignity, se!frespect, and the re.
spect of the world when living,
and finally, all right Of considera-
tiop when'dead. Be a gentleman,
then; it is far cheaper.

WASHING AWAY THE EARTH
| No particle of sand which goes
down into the sea ever comes
back. Yet the particles leave the
! surface of the earth every second
and are carried, suspended in the
waters Of more than twenty
thousand rivers, out into the
oceans. There are more than !
hundred streams, classed on the
maps as rivers, in Louisiana alone.
Each one Of these has several
| hundred creeks, brooks and spring
branches tributary to it. Each
brook or spring branch, with
its countless rivulets, clasps the
hillsides and drags down the sur
faces thcreof-down into the
brooks-down into the creeks
down into the rivers-down into
the ocean. And there the atoms
rest patiently each atom waiting
for it's SISTERS and its cousins
and its aunts still lingering in
the fields and on the hills, yet
| creeping toward the gullies and
thence to the sea. This process
has been going on since the time
when the world was without
form and void ; whereby the prim
eval rocks were disintegrated and
spread abroad in fertile fields ;
whereby the fertile fields are
slowly being washed back into
the oceans; whereby the bottom
of the oceans is being prepared to
be elevated again TO the light and
to form other fields whereon cot
ton and wheaton something or
other will grow. This is the
very apotheosis Of 'demnition
grind He who originated that
phrase spoke more scientifically
than be knew. Life, animate and
inanimate, is simply q grinding
down of the higher parts and the
distribution thereof in the bol-
lows. The final outcome Of earth.
after millions Of years, must be
something in the nature ofa large
billiard ball whirling through the
sky, with nothing in the world on
it except smooth, dead surface.

A JUDGE OF CHARAcTER.-A few
of the broad distinctions Of ply
siognomy depend on the forms of.
the features, but all it's nicer
shades have far more to do with
expressions and in this, indeed,
the real character is often seen
where the conformation Of the
features seem to contradict it.
There are some general and WELL
known rules for the determina-
tion Of pbysiognonIical character,
as far as IL has TO do with the
shapes Of the fertures; the aqui-
line nose and eye, for instance, be-.
long to the heroic class, thick lips
to the sensual, and thin to the
selfish ; yet these may ali be liable
to many exceptions-the first GER
tainly are; for Nelson, Wolfe,
Turenne, and many other heroes
bad nothing of the eagle physi-
ognomy. It is natural to associate
beauty with goodness and ugli-
ness with wickedness and ch::::@
dren generally DO this. But an
acquaintance with the world soon
shows us that bad and selfish
hearts may be concealed under
the handsomest features, and the
highest virtues under the home-
liest; and that goodness may even
consist with conformations Of
face actually ugly. We then be-
gin to look for the character in
the expression rather than in the
forms Of the features, and to dis.
tinguish assumed expressions from
natural ones; and so we go on.
and, as we grow older, become
better physioguomists, though We.
never arrive at the certainty Of
judgment which seems not to be,
intended we ever should.

For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task my God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that can do.

Who'vc suffered for my sake.

And follow in their wake;

The mobiles of al ages,
Whose deeds crown history's pages,
And times great volume make.

When men shall live by reason,
Aad not alone for gold,
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
