“That’s your lookout, of course. The

a great trans-continental iron highway

the favorite project Ot the late hfihd of
ffie e Southern Confederacy. IreSctends
along the thirty-second parallel of lati
tude. The bill which has passed both
-Houses of Congress, aver every test, by
more than a two-thirds vote, provides, in
addition to the-main line,€or two branches
—one from the eastern terminus, near
Marshall, to New Orleans, a distance of
about three hundred miles, and one from
a point about one hutidred miles distant
from its Pacific teriaynus, which is to form
a connection /vvith pan Francisco. The
.[Company under whose, auspices this bill
has been carried are already the owners
of the franchise through Texas, known as
“the Trau9-continental Company.”
Tfiis franchise gives them the right of
way through Texas, a distance of eight
hundred miles, and is strengthened by
their recent purchase of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, a’ c-.rporation extending
from Shreveport,La.,to Palo Pinto, Texas,
and connecting with the main lines at the
latter point. It is now, and has been for
some years, in profitable operation. In
addition to these advantages, the Trans
continental Company have entered into a
negotiation for the purchase of the Mem
phis and El Paso Railroad and its rolling
stock, which includes the line from Mem
phis/ Tenn., to Little Rock, Ark., a dis
tance of two hundred miles. The whole
route, exclusive of its branches, is an ag
gregate of some tw T o thousand miles. The
region traversed is one of surpassing fer
tility, With the exception of about seventy
miles. Almost the entire length is singu
larly level. The report of the Government
engineers and the engineers of the com
pany concur in the statement that a railroad
can be laid more rapidly and cheaply along
this lino than over any other section of our
country. — Washington Ohrtmicle.

Whftefleld’s Will.
In a letter To- th® New York Advocate,
Rev. J. H. spreiks aa follows of
tihia interesting document:
Thfr6ugh the kindness of Judge dot
ting, Secretary of State, we have been
permitted to examine the ancient reeords
of Georgia, and have accidentally found
a copy of tlfe last will of Rev. George
Whifefield, tinted Orphan House Acad

1770. After providing for all arrearages
on the Orphan House, and fog ®»Hual
prifea for the three beat- orai<ms|deiiy
iieyejl in English on specified sijfjjecSk the
will concludes as follows:
“T leave to all my most hearty thanks
and blessings, asspring them that I am

reality and iufiriite importapA® .of the grand

and spirit to act In this way, as that the

denomination, love our Lord Jesus,
our common Lord, in sincerity." .
• As we recall the heroic spirit of White
field in these his final words, wa are fur
nished the secret of his marvelous success
as an evangelist. He had a profound
conviction both of the reality of the Gos
pel And of his Divine commission to pro
claim it, The savor of his good name
still lives in this land, and we confidently
look lor a return of the days of revival
power. We are not without some tokens
of such an auspicious period.
The E&il Beast.
I have shown you the bvil beast. The
question i3, Who will hunt him down, and
how shall we ahoo\hira ? I answer’' First,
by getting our children right on this sub
ject. Let them jgrow up wit-lfc an utter
aversion to strong; drink. Take eare hpw
you administer i% even as
you find that theyhave a natural love f6r
it, as some have, put in a glass of it some
horrid stuff, and make it' utterly nau
seous. Teach them, as faithfully as you
do the catechism, that rum is a fiend.
Take them to the alms-house, and show
them the wreck and ruin it works. Walk
with them into the homes that have been
scourged by it. If a drunkard hath
fallen into a ditch, take them right up
where they can see hie face, bruised, sav
age, and swollen, and say, “Look, ray
son, rum did that!” Looking out of your
window at some oue who, intoxicated to
madness, goes through the street, bran
dishing his fist, blaspheming God, a howl
ing, defying, shouting, reeling, raving,
and foaming maniac, say to your son; 1
“Look; that man was once a child like
you.” As you go by the grog-shop, let
them know that that is the'place where
men are slain, and their wives made pau
pers, and their children slaves. Hold out
to your children all warnings, all rewards,
all counsels, lest in after-days they break
your heart and curse your gray hairs.
A man laughed at my father for his
scrupulous temperance principles, and
said: “I am more liberal ihan you. I
always give my children the sugar in the
glass after we have been taking a drink.”
Three of his sons have died drunkards,
and the fourth is imbecile through intem
perate habits.
Again, we will battle this evil at the
ballot-box. How many men are there
who can rise above the feelings of parti
sanship, and demand that our officials
shall be sober men?
I maintain that the question of so-!
briety is higher than the question of
availability; and that, however eminent
a man’s services may be, if he have hab
its of intoxication, he is unfit for any of
fice in the gift of a Christian people.
Our laws will be no better than the men
who make them.
Again, f e will war upon this evil by
organized societies. The friends of the
rum traffic have banded together; an
nually issue their circulars; raise fabu
lous sums of money.tP advqnc^their in
terests ; and by grips, pass-words, signs
and strategems set at defiance public j
morals. Let us confront them with or- j
ganizations just as seoret, and, if need)
be, with grips, and pass-words and signs j
maintain our position. There is no need ;
that our philanthropic societies tell all i
their plans. lam in favor of all lawful j
strategy in the carrying on of this con-!
flict. I wish to God we could lay under «
the wine-casks a train which, once ignited, j
would shake the earth with the explosion
of this monstrous iniquity f
Again, we will try the power of the
pledge. There are thousands of men who
have been saved by putting their names
to such a document. I know it is laughed
at; but there are some men who, having
once promised a thing, do it. “Some
have broken the pledge." Yes, they
were liars. But all men are not liars. I
do not say that it is the duty of all per
sons to make sui&h signature; but I do
say that it would be the salvation of
many of you.
The glorious work of Theobald Mathe#
ean“iiever be 'estimated; : At his hand
four minion, .pjeople tjOpk- the pledge,
multitudes in Ineland, England/ Scotland
and America have kept if till this day.
The pledge signed to thousands has been
the proclamation of emancipation.

Importance of Draining Swamps.
The Boston Journal reports a speech
Stanton Gofild*before the New
Hampshire Board of Agriculture, in. which
he earnestly denounced the folly of those
-lazy farmers who pretend to believe that
the Alth.ighty intended, that all boggy
lands should always regain iff that con
dition'." England, which is now the'Gar
deri of Eden in fertility, wa«s once a desb>-
late swamp, affording insufficient food for
a seanty population; but now, by means
of a scientific, system of draijiagf. its soil
has been made rich and fertile;w that af
this time abundant food is produced for
an immense population. The whole isl
and has been transformed by drainage.
lYe tcould never be certain that farming
would pay until we began at this founda
tion, An important result of draining
has been the prolongation of human life,
Formerly, the expectation of life of every
child born in New England was. only
fourteen years, Now 4 . howeyer, by tho
improvement in the condition of life, it is
thirty-two years. Once fever and ague
was the main disease upon the island, and
it has also been proved that there’is an
increase of the temperature of eight de
grees upon drained lands. Vegetation is
three to four weeks later in New Hamp
shire in Ne'w Jersey,. A difference
of eight degrees puts New Hampshire on
the same footing as New Jersey a#
g|irds the commencement of farming oper
ations and the raising of crops. A man'
who drains his lands may begin his spring
work three or four weeks earlier than
neighbor who neglects this important
work.
Take Enough Sleep.
Sjiid one of the oldest and most suc
cessful farmersJh the State: “I do not
care to have my men get up,bcfore five or
half-past five in the morning, and if they
go to bed early and can slfeep soundly,
they will do more work thjro if they get
up at four or half-past four.'l.

by the rod, more than ninerbours a day.
And it is so in chopping yood by the
cord; the men who accomplish the most,
work the fewest hours. They bring alt
their brain and muscle into exercise, and
make every blow tell. A slow, plodding
Dutchman may turn a grindstone or a
fanning-mill better than an energetic
Yankee, but. this kind of .work is now
mostly done by. horse and the

light aad aetive, and under complete eoft
trpl. . Much, of depends on tem
pefcartfßWt;' but, as a rufe/sueti men need
sound sleep and plenty of it. When a boy
on the farm, we were told that Napoleon
needed only four hours* sleep, and the
old nonsense of “five for a man, six for
a woman, and seven for a fool,” was often
quoted. But the truth is, that Napoleon
was enabled, in a great measure, to ac
complish what he did from the faculty of
sleeping soundly- —of sleeping when he
slept and working when he worked. We
have sat in one of his favorita traveling
carriages, and it was so arranged that he
eould lie down at full length, and when
dashing through the country as fast as
eight horses (frequently changed) could
carry him, he slept souujly, and when he
arrived at Mb destination was ’as fresh as
if he had risen from a bed of down. Let
farmers, and especially farmers’ boys,
have plenty to eat, nothing to “drink,”
and all the sleep they can.— American
Agrkulturkt.
Thb Bbst Rroommbnpation.—Nicho
las Biddle, when President of the Bank
of the United States, dismissed a clerk
beeause the latter refused to write on tho
Sabbath. The young man, with a mother
dependent upon his exertions, was thus
thrown out of employment by what some
would call an over-nice scruple of con
science. But a few days laster Mr. Bid
dle being requested to nominate a cashier
for another bank recommended this very
individual, and mentioned this very inci
dent as a proof of his tfustworthiness.
“You can trust him,” said he, “for he
wouldn’t work.for me on Sunday "'—Bx.
How TO I<EARN.r—Never forget what a
man itas said to y.4vi,when he was angry.
If he has charged you with any thing,
you had better look it up. A person lias
often'been startled from a pleasant dream
of self-deception by the words of an an
gry man, who may wish his words unsaid
the next hour, but they are past recall.
The wisest course is to take home this
lesson with meekness to our soul*. It
was a saying of Socrates, that every
man had need of a faithful friend a
bitter enemy— qne to advise, and the
other te show him his faults.

LIVER PILLS,
FOB THB GOBfi OB
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSiA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms, of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the edge of
the ribs, increase on pressure; sometimes
the pain is in the left side; the patient is
rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder blade,
and it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for a
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is
affected with loss of appetite and sickness,
the bowels in general are costive, sometimes
alternative with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is gene
rally a considerable loss of memory, accom
panied with a painful sensation of having
left undone something which ought to..have
been done. A slight, dry cough is some
times in attendant. The patient complains
of weariness and debility; he is startled,
his feet are pold or burning/ and he com-
Elains of a pricldy,. sensation of the sJfin;
is spirits arc low ;• and although he is satis
fied that exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several of the above symptoms
attend the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet examination
of the body, after death, has shown the
LivEk to have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FRVER. ’
Dr. M’LaneS Ljver Pills, in cases of
AgOe and Fever, when 'taken with Quinine,
are productive of the most happy results. No
better cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after.taking Quinine. We would advise
all who are afflicted with this disease to give
them A FAIR TRIAL. '
