Beautiful Passage.

I cannot believe that earth is
mans abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our lie is cast up by the ocean
of eternity to float upon its waves
and then sink into nothingness, else
why is it that tho glorious aspira.
tons which leap like angles from
the temples OF our hearts are forever
wandering ahoat unsatisaed? Why
is it that the rainbow and clouds
come over us with a beautiful that
is not of earth and pass off and
leaves us to muse upon their faded
loneliness? Why is it that the stars
which hold their festival around
the midnight throne are get above
the grasp of our limited faculties
torever hooking US with their IN.
approachable glory? And finally,
why is it that bright forms Of human
beauty are presented to our view
and then taken away from US, leav-
ing tho thousand streams of affec.
ton to flow back in Alpine torrents
on the heart? We are born for a
hig:e. destiny than that Of earth.
There il a realm where the rainbow
mover fades, where stars will be
spread ont before US like islands
that slumber on the ocean, and
where the beings that pass before
US like shadows, shall stay in our
prcscace forever.-GeoD D. Prentice.

The Country Newspaper.

1t is only a country weekly! Yes,
that is all, but do those who allude
to it with all Intentional sneer ever
reflect upon the duties and mission
performed by the poor obscure coun.
try weekly which is as much, any
more, to its few hundred readers in
the country, as is the great metro
po!itan daily to its thousands. Of
readers in the city? Oh, no, they
never think of placing an estimate
upon the worth Of a country paper;
it has none within the barrow
limits Of their superficial and con-
tractcd brains. They will not
admit the utility Of any form OF
a newspaper save one which is
crammed full Of telcrgaphic dis
patches. giving the minute details Of
some revolving aud nauscating
aocial scandal, Or containing an in
finite variety in detail of foreign
events. But the financial, ngricul-
tural, commercial, religions and so.
cial condition of his fellow-citizens
residing within The boundaries OF
such an individuals own country,
are to him as a sealed booA; he has
never opened the pages Of his conn
ty paper to inquire within !; pnt him
to the test and you will find that he
knows more abost the Hotten;ots
Of Central Africa than he does
about the people of the surrounding
country. We turn away from the
contemplation of this human super
fnity, of whcih there arc thousands,
and view the practical, common
sense man, who wishes to be IL
formed as to the pursuits, condition
and prospects of the people of his
own immediate State and county.
He finds in the homo paper the in
formation he seeks. The country
organ Is to him the camera lncida
which faithfully portrays all that
occurs ; it is, in a great measure,
the reflex of the character OF the
people comprising the country where.
in it is published. But what is the
interest which even the practical,
.common-sense man derives from it,
compared to that which is felt
and entertained by the country
people themselves? It is every
thing to them. In it is lound news
which they alone, probably, can
appreciate and. understand; informa-
ton regarding their friends and
neighbors, the condition Of the
crops and the market quotations
matters Of local consideration in
which they are interested, and a
hundred and one different things
which affect and interest them, both
privately and publicly. The county
newspaper is to a country what
nutritious food is to a convalescent-
it helps to build up all that is good
in it. The county that is without
one is like a waste plain without
elevation from which a person desir-
ing to examine the surroundings
'can make no observation South.
