Amass ar e Tree..
BY WILLIAM CUtLLEt BiYANT.
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.

[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.

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.
