Oh ye who love to overheag the springs, .Aad staid.by raiolg waters, ye whose boughs Make ,eantiful the rocks o'er which they play. Who pilp with foiage the reat hills, and rear A parad,ise pon the lonely plain. Trees of the forest and the open field' Have ye,.. seose of being ? Does the air, The pure sir, which I breathe with gladness, pass In gsh o,'er ,our delicate lungs, your leaves, All tounroyed? When on your Winterasleep The sun whines warm, have ye no dreams of Spring? And when the glorious spring-time comes at last, Bave ye no joy of all your bursting buds, And fragrant blooms, and melody of birds To wh.:ca your young leaves shiver' UI ye strive And wrfstle with the wind. yet know it not' Feel ve toglory in your strength when he, I The exhausted Blusterer. flies beyond the hills, And leaves you stronger yet ? Or have ye not A sense of loss when he has stripped your leaves, Yet tender, and has splintered your fair houghs ' Does the loud bolt that smites you from the cloud And rends you. fall unfelt ? Do there not run 6tranve shadderings through your fibres when the axe Is raised against you, and the shining blade Desal blow on blow, until, with all their boughs, Your summits waver and ye fall to earth? Know ye no sadness when the hurricane Has swept the wood and snapped its sturdy stems Asunder. or has wrenched, from out the soil, The min htiest, with their circles of strong roots, And ptted the ruin all along his path' Nay, doubt we not that under the rough rind, In tk, green veins of these fair growths of earth, I here dwells a nature that receives delight From.all the gentle processes of life, And hi inks from loss of being. Dim and faint U. y he the sense of pleasure and of pain, As car dreams; but, haply, real still. Our sorrows toueh you not. We watch beside The beds of those who languish or who die, And minister In sadness. white our hearts Offer perpetual prayer for life and ease And health to the beloved sufferers. But ye, while anxious fear and tainting hope Are In our chambers, ye rejoice without. The funeral goes forth; a silent train Movte slowly from the desolate home: our hearts Are ureaking as we lay away the loved, Whoas we sh1 see no more, in their last rest, Their little celis within the burial-place. Ye have no part in this distress; for still The February sunshine steeps your boughs And tints the buds and swells the leaves within : While the song-sparrow, warbling from her perch, Tells you that Spring is near. The wind of May Is sweet with breath of orchards, in whose boughs The bees and every insect of the air Make a perpetual murmur of delight, And by whose flowers the humming-bird hangs poised In air, and draws their sweets and darts away. The linden, in the fervors of July, Hums with a louder concert. When the wind Sweeps the broad forest in its summer prime, As wnen some master hand exzlting sweeps The keys of some great organ, ye give furth The music of the woodland depths. a hymn Of gladness and of thanks. The hermit-thrush Pipe , his sweet note to make your arches ring. The faithful robin, from the wayside elm, Carols all day to cheer his sitting mate. And when the autumn comes, the kings of earth, In all their majesty, are not arrayed As ye ere, clothing the broad mountain side, And spetting the smooth vales with red and gold. While, swaying to the sudden breeze, ye fling Your nuts to earth, and the brisk squirrel comes To gather them, and barks with childish glee, And s,:ampers with them to his hollow oak. Thus. tts the seasons paps, ye keep alive The heerfulness of nature, till in time The constant misery which wrings the heart Relerns, and we rejoice with you again, And aloey in your beauty; till once more We loon with pleasure on your vanished leaves, That parly glance in sunshine, and can hear. Ie-lghted, the soft answer which your boughs Utter ip whispers to the babbling brook. 1Y haive no histrry. I cannot know \\1lo, wahen the hit!rde trees were hewn away.

[From the London Times, Nov. 30.1 The close of the civil war in the United States has been signalized by a feat of railway enter. prise unparalleled, and indeed hardly admittlng of parallel, in any other country. Few empires con tain even room enough for a line of railway :;000 miles long: fewer still would find the means of bridgtng such enormous distances with iron rails. The diffculty of the work, too, was much en hanced by the nature of the ground. II we sou. pose the territory of the United states to be some 3000 miles across from the Atlantic to the Pacific it may be roughly stated that about one-half of this represents settled country, A modern town on the Missouri river called Omaha City marks the limits of civilization towards the West. Towards the East this new city is already connected with the system of American railways, but at this point the ines stop; and well they may, for the dis tance from New York to Omaha is il itself nearly as great as that from Calcutta to Peshawr--in other words, as the whole breadth of the Indian empire. Nor would it, indeed, except for a cer tain cOLtltioa, be necessary to extend these lines any further at present, for beyond Omaha lies an inmerse desert. We use the term not as imply ing that the entire tract is a barren or unproduc tive waste, but simply to express a region not yet brought under the dominion of man. The object, therefore, of the present enterprise is, in fact, to connect the State of ('alifornia with the State of Iowa, on the western border of which Omaha ('i'y is situated. At present an American wishing to go from New York to San Francisco would lare to take Ship run down to the Isthmus of Panama. cross t[ s neck of land, and then go up to California-a ,:luruey of twenty days at least. lh's is ly no means satisfactory to a people of whom it was said by one of their own countrymen that any man wcu;d readily rick his life for the chance of errivir g anywhere fire minutes before anohrdc else. bi they have determined to crrry a railroad across the great desert at one, and en able any traveler to book through from one ocean to ati tier. 'l l.e ditance to be thl's travrseel i- actua!ly not n.-,h lehs than tt e diiance be'wen the oid world end the new. The additional length of lce reiuircd to c rnect Omaha with Sacrament i, and thus bridge the continent, is nearly ,, 0 n ilcs. The ergineers' calculation Rives just 1721 miles as tLe breadth of tiLe "gap,' and the country along the whole way is as wild and na tenanted as Patagonia. It is not exantly unin habited, tout the population, such aas it is, on!y a d. to the peril of the enterprioe. The vit Ilain aied mounta n ranges over which the ra ' way is to be carried are haunted by banls of fierce and treacherons Indians. These regions are the last resort of the red men in their retriat to the West before the ever moving settlers, and we have rc-eritly reported more than one inatance of tl ;r atts. k ulprn the line and the worlikmen. (;en. tLhrman's dity at this moment consists in trotecting the track as far as possible with United btatea troops: but the distance to lie cuarded is so enormous, and the Indians are aso wary. that trains are "' wrecked " in spite of all his eforts. The couctry itself, with the exception of some formldable monnt i ranges, is in many parts not ill-suited for railway worK. For some hcrdreds of miles the lice can be carried" alona valleys and over plains without much dilficuty, and tue expertness of the Americans is such th St the progress made seems incredible. We should mnention, perhaps, that the project Itself was con ceived long before the civil war, and was, indeed, so favorite a scheme that the inevitable suspen. siomn of the works during the all-abeorbing con test is occasionally epoken of as not the least among the evil cisequences or the rebellion. No sorner.fhowever, was peace restored than the enterprise was vigorously resumed. A few months after the surrender of the Con f derate armies-that is to say. at the close of the year lhG5--the " gap " of 1721 miles between nacramento and Omaha City existedl atmlst en tire, since only seventy-one miles of the intendd railway had been laid down-thirty-one on the sacramento and forty on the Omaha side. At this morest these seventy-one miles have been prolonged to 1324., leaving only 400 to be added in completion of the whole work. From Omaha the line has been carried on for a ditance of nearly 1000 miles, so as almost to reach that half fobn'oos city in which the Mormons thought to rxclude themeelves eternally from the world. From Sacramento a length of nearly 400 more ihas been laid, and the engineers are confident ti:at bc· fore the close of the year now approaching the tentire lice from one ocean to the other will be opened for traffio. When it is remembered that this lire, becides beinrg carried through desert re gions and over lofty hills, crosses the tremenlou-s range of the Rocky Mountains, some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the work and of the astcnishing expedition with which it has been an c omplihrd. Next year an American c'izen may gratify himself by taking the longest railway io Ir us y in the world, and crossing a vast continent in a etretch reckoned by hours. - Frahno WonoD ON TnHrADDEors TrVa-s.-li the Hicuse of Representaturves on the 17th Mr. Wood said he felt no embarrassment in riasng to unite his voice with those who appropriately pay a last public tribute to the memory of their dis tinguished associate. Alluding to the wide differ ence of opinion that had existed between Mc. stevens and himself, he said that could not deter him from the expression of a just homage to his charseter a. a man, whether cousidered as a citizen or as a statesman. As when living we recognized him as one of the foremost intellects of this house: so now that being dead, let us for get the controversies that divided us, and remem ber only the higher qualities and personal at tributes which have at all times commanded our attention. Mr. Wood paid a fervent tribute to the Intellect of Mr. Stevens sad to the example af. forded by his exalted life. He wuas truthful to his listilncts, to his nature. He wa a man of rare, anatoural mental power, self-rellance and entire in dependence of character, which rendered him a formidable and successful leader. He relied upon these qualities more than upon the common re sources of inferior men. who yielded to the errors and prejnWlces of the time rather that suffer de Seat. Mr. Wood regarded Mr. Stevens us aa em. bodiaet of original personal ladivtdnality. None could dispute that he possessed many noble qualities. ONTIIUTPTIION Y. ft. M. L.
