LETTER IN THE SPRINGFIELD RE
Notwithstanding crossed the Po-
tOmac, we are now in the northeas-
tern corner of West Virginia, and in
Shepherdstown enter its oldest settle
ment, founded i'm 1874 by Thomas
Shepherd, whose descendants still
live there and own some of the origi-
nal land. The pioneers were Ger
mans, from Pennsylvania chiefly, and
the village has more the appearance
ola Maryland than Virginia town.
The community was active in Revo-
lutionary days, and from it sprang
the first of these companies of /" Buck
tail' mountaineers, who, recruiting
as they went, fastened on foot to aid
Washington at Boston in 1775, when
he first called for troops. No incident
in local history, however, is more inn
portant than in the experimentation
which was carried on here by James
Ramsey in 1856 toward the invention
of the steamboat. The plan of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was then
under consideration, and projects for
inland navigation were stimulating
inventive thought. Washington and
others became specially interested in
what Mr.. Ramsey was doing and aid
ed his experiments. Finally there
was produced and tried upon the Po-
tomac a steamboat which undoubted-
~ antedates the discoveries in the
same direction of both Fitch and
Fulton. Ramsey's steamboat was a
flat boat propelled" by steam-en-
CINE working vertical pump in the
middle of the vessel, by which the
water was drawn in at the bow and
expelled through a horizontal trunk
at the stern. The impact of this forci-
BILE stream against the static water of
the river pushed the boat along just
as cuttlefish swims. The boat was
eighty feet long, and with a cargo of
three tons attained speed up the cur
rent of four miles an hour. She was
soon disabled, however, by the explo-
sion of her boiler, but relics of her are
preserved.

Make the most of this fe where the shadow reposes
The beams of the sumlner shall cluster in glee,
And the on the graves CT the lilies and roses
But cradles the blossoms that whiten the lea;
Though the hopes the heart be encrced with
And pillows of wretchedness mutter and roll,
There shall with the Of the bountiful morrow
The pleasures that gladden. the desolate soul.
Make the most of this e where the carols sleeping
That rose in their rapture from lips of the spring
And awakened the world from it's winter of weeping,
Though the bosom be dark with the drges of sadness
And solitudes gather so heavy and lone,
There shall float from the musical meadows of gadness
The ravishipp measures that Danish each groan,
Make the most of this life; It's garden of beauty
Where, blushing, the blossoms grow tenderly sweet,
While they brighten the days of mans labor and duty,
And scatter the kisses of love at his feet;
IT'S world that is wild with the laughter of living,
When hands do the brotherly kindness they can,
And its hearts the of tenderness giving
To soften and sweeten the nature of man.
Make the most of this lfe there is happiness in it
When souls find a Meme for their jubilant song;
There is music when'angels are taught to begin it,
Who never were mantled with garments of wrong.
There voices that sing in their sweetness forever
And murmur no cadence of battle strife,
Neither burden the hours with the pangs OF endeavor
When We with deeds, make the most of this life.

At the Station.

He stood alone amid surging throng,
Yet glanced with eager gaze at every one
Wrought in the thread of life that past him spun,
And for a time his pulse beat full and strong;
At length he finched as though beneath the thong
Of cruel doubt. and like clouded sun,
His eyes lost light and ashy paleness
Upon the face health flushed when hope was strong
Yet, while his heart to whispered throbs hushed
He saw her come just as he turned TO go,
And lifes red tide through every channel rushed;
While from his eyes shone out joyous glow
And the sick palor o. his cheek was flushed,
As when full sunlight pinks the winters snow.
