A HIGHER DEsTINY.-It cannot be
that earth is mans abiding place. It
cannot be that our life is bubble cast
upon the ocean of eternity, to float a
moment upon its surface and then go
into nothingness and darkness forever
Else why is it that the high and glo-
rious aspirations which leap like angels
from the temples of our hearts are for
ever wandering abroad unsatisfied?
Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over US with a beauty that is
not of earth and then pass off and leave
US to muse on their faded lOveliness
Why is it that the stars which hold
their mighty festival around the mid
night throne, are set above the grasp of
our limited faculties, forever mocking
us with their unapproachable glory
And finally, why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty are presente0.to
our view and then taken from us, leav-
ing the thousand streams of the affec-
tions to flow back in Alpine torrents
upon our hearts? We are born for a
higher destiny than that of earth.
There is a realm where the rainbow
never fades; where the stars will be
spread out before us like the islands that
slumber upon the bosom of the ocean,
and where the beautiful beings that
here pass before us like visions will stay
in our presence forever.-Ge0rge d.
Prentice.

. THE sC1orO VALLEY RAILROAD. j.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following
regarding the announced sale Of the Scloto
Valley Railroad to the Chesapeake d Ohio
Railroad Company:
There has been much speculation for the past
few weeks about the .prouuolc capture Of the e
Sctoto Valley Railroad by the Chcsal'cake y
Ohio and making that n part of the Huntington
system. It ms long been known that Hunting
ton is dcsirous Ut extending his system t1 Cni-

A fact that points strongly to wnrrnnt the bc-
lief thur there is truth i'll the report OF tho prob-
able sale of the Scioto Valley is. siiat the Pam

Although all the roads leading east from
this city claim that they were receiving no
freight during the past week, not having
sufficient cars to take care Of their old bnsi-
ness, yet eas;-bound freight shipments have
slightly increased. This goes to show that
during the short time the rates were down to
10 cents aud 12M cents per 100 pounds, Chi
cago to New York, heavy contracts were
made by some Of the lines. and the bulk of
business was carried by the two Vanderbilt
roads-Nichigan Central and Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern. Out Of total Of ST, ,09f
tons carried By the six lines leading east
from this city, the above two roads have car
ried 3;,2272 tons, or nlure than one-half Of the
total shipments. The shipments. Of the other
roads were rather light, which they attrib-
uted to the fact that they could
take no new traffic because, owing to
the heavy amount of business carried
heretofore, their lines have becuule
blockaded and they do not care to crowd
themselves too much. The truth about rllo
matter is that these roads prefer to use all
the cars they can for the transportation Of
local business, on which they get full rates
and made their profits. There is lo profit OIL
the through business at the prevailing rates

As long as the local trade continues as heavy:

and can't get the cars. As soon Us the lucal
business, however, gets lighter and the roads
are not so much crowded as they are
now, competition will again set i'll,
and the fight between the vari-
GUS roads be renewed. It is
not probable, however, that frelght-rates will
get lower than 121l1 cents, as none Of tho
ruads care to carry business for less than that.
All the roads but the Vanderbilt lines are
anxious to have trei glt-ratcs restored to ~
cent basis, and even higher. But as long as
Vanderbilt refuses to attend any meetings
and enter into III agreement tor the nlaill-
tenance Of higher rates, no advance can be
made, and the roads will have to continue to
take business at the SAME figures rs tile VAN
uerbilt roads take it.. The freight war will
evidently now remain stationary, until some
truce is effected with Vanderbilt. The heavy.
fighting will hereafter be done Oh the l,:sssen-
means Vanderbilt can much quicker be
freight business still more unpro6ta-
bic than it now is. The total ship
ments OF flour, grain and provisions by
the six Eastern lines from this city during
