Blessing on thee. Land of Beauty,
Sleeping in a sunny clime—
Blessing on thy hills and valleys—
I invoke them in my rhyme !
Far and wide my step3 may wander,
Fairer scenes may meet my eyes.
But my soul will cherish ever,
Memories of thy glorious skies.
Northward.?, ’gainst the quiet heavens.
Thy blue mountain barriers rise,
And above thy foaming torrents
Glow the Iris’ radiant dyes.
There Tallulah dashes madly
Through the sundered granite hills,
And a sense of awful beauty
All tlie gazer’s being fills.
A’n'd Toccoa, haunt of fairies’,'
And Na'eoochec’s valley sweet,
Where the shining Chattahoochee,
Stars and sunshine love to greet:
And Mount Yonah soaring proudly.
Where the winds are pure and free,
Wafts a greeting on their pinions,
To hi-4 neighbor of Curraliee.
Thine the Mountain Bock of granite,
ItisiA'g ’mid thy fertile plains—
N vtufeo everlasting watch-tower,'
Looking” Yer thy wide domains
Looking noth'V.iru to the mountains,'
Southward oer Savannah's vVide,
Where tliro' dark lagoons and marshes
Flows the Altamaha’s tide.
Thine the lovely Forest City,
Bona venture’s wealth of shade—
Classic Athens—seat of learning,
And Augusta's mart of trade ;
Macon’3 thine, and fair Columbus,
And Atlanta’s busy street,
And the pride of Rome the Western,
Where Coosa’^tribune waters meet.
But thy proudest treasure, Georgia,
Are thy sons so brave and'true,
-And thy gentle bright-eved daughters
Who with love our souls imbue ;
Thin’s die valiant and tl\'e lovely—

And thy homes adorned by beauty.
Guarded are by valor's arms.

Tho Great Bridge over the
Mississippi.
i
Tlib great bridge across the Missis
sippi river at Bt. Louis promises to be,
when completed, one, p-f the grandest
monument 7 <d’ engineering skiil and ge
nius in tHe world. Retween the abut
ments if Will consist of three steel arches,
each of about live hundred feet span,
resting upon massive piers of solid ma
sonry. Mr. James R Eades. the chief
engineer, has issued a very interesting
report of the progress which has been
made in this great undertaking. Among
those which/ most forcibly illustrate the
power of science to overcome difficul
ties which would’ seem almost insur
mountable are some renting to the con
struction of the west abutment, which,
at the date of tire report, had been com
pleted from the bed rock of the rives
to a point thirty-one feet above low Wa
ter mark, a height of forty-four feet al
together. Although the bed rock a +!
the right of the abutment is seventy
three and a half feet higher than at the
cast pier, the difficulties encountered in
building its foundation were more seri
ous than at either of the others. Its
site had been for over sixty years a part
of the steUmboat landing of the city,
and such as had received every kind of
useless material thrown overboard from
the various steamers lying over it du
ring that? time. Tim old sheet iron en
veloping t'litr furnaces, worn-out grate
bars, old fire brinks'; parts of smokestacks,
with cool cinders, clinker, and a mass of
heterogeneous substances, formed a de
posit averaging 12 feet in depth over
the rock. Not only were these miscel
laneous obstructions in the way, but the
coffer dam constructed to enclose the site
had: to be put down' through the wrecks
of no less than three steamboats which
were imbedded in the sand, the hulk of
either of which was not probably of less
than 400 tuns measurement. From the
enclosure within the dam were taken
parts of several old and burnt steamboat
engines, the iron parts of which had to
be cut off; four wrecks of barges, some
of them probably in use before the era
of steam ; likewise several oak saw logs,
some anchors, chains, and a variety ui
smaller articles. This incongruous de
posit made it very difficult to maintain
the integrity-of” the dam, and frequent
floodings occurred* which delayed and
increased the cost of Work ; but all diffi
culties were exposed to view. The piers
were sunk by moans of caissons, com
pressed air, and-sand pumps, similar in
many respects to those in use for the
East River bridge. The east pier of the
St. Louis bridge had on the Ist of Oc
tober been carried up to the height of
117 feet above the bed rock on which it
rests, about 20 feet above the level of
water at that time. It measures at its
base, in the direction of the current, 82
feet, and transversely GO feet. This pier
was placed op the rock ir* 126 days' af
ter ti p laying of the first stone, work
being suspended on it during twenty
days.of this time on account of bad
weather. The west abutment of the
bridge when, completed to the carriage
way will be 115. feet high above the
bed reck of. tb§ river, aud will contain
31,800 cubip yartfil-ef n %?onry.

Drunkenness is ? Sin.
When we acknowledge that intemper
ance is a disease, let us uot forget the
fact that it is also a Hu. No man is
forced to be a drunkard : he drinks to
excess with his eyes open, with his hands
free, with his conscience upbraiding him
until Ke thowns it in the bowl. He vol
untarily surrender? his reason, his taste,
his judgment, his health, his character,
and his conscience on the altar of appe
tite; and is not that a sin ? He knows
that his habits of indulgence will dis
qualify him for the performance t>f the
duties of child, husband, parent, and
citizen, and while they deaden the fac
ulties which should elevate him above
the dumb beast, they intensify and
quicken all the animal and brutal in
stincts of degraded humanity; and is
not that a sin ?
He is wejl aware that tho in
toxicating liquors may inspire him with
selfish motives, and that he may in a tit
of frenzy commit a crime which will do
great injury to innocent and unoffend
ing persons, depriving them of their
property, or infringing upon theip rights,
or injuring their persons; and is not
this a sin ( In these enlightened days,
there surely cannot be found a drunkard
6Ven who is such a dunce as not to know
that the Rible declares that drunken
ness is a sin, a great sin, which excludes
the unrepentant from the kingdom ot
heaven. The drunkard sins against
Kiniscif, he sin'? against his neighbor,
and he sins against God. There is no
other vice which so vividly gives its'vic
tims a foretaste of future punishment as
intemperance. It brings upon the drunk
ard the’terrible penalty of delirium tre
mens in this life, and uncovers to his
sleepless eyes the pit to which he has
tens. The devils' ot his troubled imag
ination are real devils to him ; the hell
lie foresees with his diseased vision is
not in his eye;’ a theatrical sham on this
canvass, but a real hell, and he recoils
from it in horror and despair. Is it
not a sin for a human being, made a lit
tle lower than the angels, to bring him
self to such a wretched condition? He
was designed to be happy in this life
and in the life to come; but he !:now
ingly drinks, and make:* himself tho
most miserable being on the face of the
earth; and that is a sin which can only
be washed out by the tears of repent
ance and reform. — Tm. Advocate.
A Lrvh NG SNAIv EI N A Wo MAN S
j Stomach. —An unfortunate woman is
now in the infirmary with a living snake
or cel in her stomach, of the truth ot
which there is the most abundant proof
to convince the most skeptical. The
poor woman is twenty-three years of age
For six years she has been subject to
convulsions of severest character, which
thus far the best medical skill has been
unable to suppress.
At Canton and Ilaysville, Ohio, the
doctors could do nothing to relieve her;
and at Philadelphia she was under the
care of two of the most eminent physi-
without beneficial results Slid
has spaSms e\*cry day. sometimes as
many as twenty. During each convul
.sion she becomes entirely unconscious ;
her body writhes and struggles in agony;
her face grows black from suffocation;
hbr tongub stiffens and protrudes from
the mouth; she froths from the mouth
and the demon of a snake twists, with’
slimy folds, up her throat into hex'month. ;
wrapping itself around tlTe root of her ,
tongue, and darting its head out and in j
with rapidity of lightning —like the 1
tongue of a snake out of a snake’s
mouth—then squirms down her throat,
when the spasm subsides. It lias pro
truded its body as much as three inches,
is black in color, and as thick as a lady’s
index finger; and those who have seen
it say there is no doubt that it is either
a snake or an eel. It does not appear
every time she has a spasm, but gener
ally in those she has from six to ten in
the evening.
'The woman eatvf Voraciously, without J
receiving apparent benefit, for witliiu |
five minutes after partaking of a liberal j
meal she suffers the pangs of hunger j
and is ravenous for food. To eat sour i
pickles, cabbages, or anything of an acid |
nature, evidently throws the animal into j
paroxysms, as when such are taken it j
makes the greatest disturbance, and j
shows itself in the throat and mouth.—
It was first observed in a convulsion after
she had been eating some pickles. The
unfortunate woman has no idea when or
where sb* might have swallowed it. and j
cat:hoi*be made to believe that so hate- |
fillet thing inhabits her body:- —Kvcamj ;
If raid
The Difference- Between - Bo” j
And ‘‘Come." — Ts you want business !
done,” says the proverb, “go and and * it!” j
“If you don’t want it done, send some |
one else.” An indolent gentleman had j
a freehold estate, producing about five j
hundred a year. Becoming involved in :
debt, sold half the estate, and let the re- !
maind -r. The industrious farmer called j
to pay his rent, and asked the owner if;
l;e would sell ffis farm.
"Will you buy it ?” asked* G’-eneig ,
surprised.
“Yes. provided vfe can agree upon the :
price. 1 ' . |
‘ That is exceedingly strange,” ob
served the gentleman ; “pray tell mellow i
it happens that while 1 could not liye j
; upon twice as much land, for which j j
! paid no rent, you are regularly paying ■
i me two hundred a year, and are able in
i a few years to purchase it ”
1 “The reason is plain,” was the reply i
; “you still &*id said go 1 I got up and ,
said cy.W!'. You lay in bed and enjoyed
‘ jour estate; I rose in tffe rgorning and
piinded r.iv bnGne**.' —S-lj ft-ip.
j h.NEROf OF Win,.—lf is energy of
' w iH that is the soul of the int Elect;
| wherever it is. there is life; where it is
not, ail is dullness and despondency ami
desolation. People who have no expc
-1 rience of it, imagine that it is dost rue
| Eve to the nerves, exhaustive of the an
imal spirits; that it aggravates the wear
; and tear of life excessively. But this
: is ‘Gi idle notion, as idle its the habits
| and humors of those who entertain it.
1 He leave it to any man who knows its
j effect, to strike the balanee—to com
pare the exhaustion of an indolent day
with that ot an active one; to sjy in
; which ot the two cases the subject is in
; better heart for work, and fitter to un
dergo it. Whatever wo may be about,
| one thing, we believe, is certain— that
j if the spirits are spent by energy, they
j are utterly wasted by idleness; at worst.
‘ energy can only end in reiaxati .n—it is

jat last may fall into it; whereas, idle
ness is actual relaxation from first to
last, and can be nothing else. But even
| this view, favorable as it is. is yet not
i favorable enough to be just. The fact
! is, that violence is not necessary to eu
i orgy any mure than tyrranny is to king
• ship; on the Contrary, it is the greatest
! energy that does the most work.
Energy, literally from Greek, means
in ward-workingt! css; the blooming of
j the flower is energy, the increase of fruit
is energy, yet in ail these there is no vi
; oience; the efficacy is not destructive,
but vital; without it the whole frame
must fall at once into corruption, w ith it,
instead of corruption, we have life.—
But this, it may be said, is a refinement. ,
It may be so, but it is true in fact, nev-1
ertheless. The gainsay or will find it
difficult to produce anything from tl o
subject of surer or more essential truth.

Three things to admire —Intellectual 1

Three things to hate—Cruelty, arro

Three things to delight in—Beauty,

Many people think newspapers dear |
—that five cents a week for food for the j
