VOLUME XLIX--NUM_BER '9:
Three Words of Strength.
There are three lessons I would write—
‘ Three words as with churning pen ,
In tracing of eternal light, '
Upon theeheerts of men .
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now.
And gladnsss hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow—
No night but hath its_morn.
Have faith. Where'er thy bark is driven—
The calm‘s disport, the tempsst’s mirth—
Know this—God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth. .
Have love. Not love alone for one,
But man, as man, they brothers call,
And scatter like the circling sun,
.Thy charity on all.
Thus gave these lessons on thy soul—
Hope, Faith, and Love—and thou shalt find '
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Life when thou else wert blind.
«.De
The Snow:
The summer comes, and the summer goes
Wild-flowers are fringing the dusty lanes,
The sparrows go darting through the fragrant
rains,
And, all of a sudden,-lt snows l
Dear Heart! our lives so happily flow,

we only know Winter is gone—by the‘fioweri,
We only know Winter is come-by the Snow l

Why Dost'l‘ll'ou Wait '2
Poor, trembling lambl Ah, Who outside the fold
Has bid thee stand, all weary as thou art 7
Dangers around thee, and the bitter cold
Creeping and growing to thine inmost heart ;
Who bids thee wait till some mysterious feeling,
Thou knoW'st not what—perchance may’st never
know—
Shall find;thee where in darkness thou art kneeling,
And fill thee with a rich and wondrous glow
Ol'love and faith; and change to warmth and light
The chill and darkness of thy spirit'onight ?
For miracles like this, who bids thee wait 1’
Behold “the spirit and the bride says ‘come,”
The tender Shepherd opens Wide the gate,
And in His love would gently lead thee home,
Why should'st then wait? Lo'ng centuries ago,
Thou timid lamb the Shepherd paid for thee,
Thou art His own. Whonld’st thou His beauty
know,
Not trust the love which yet then can’st not see 9
Thou hast not learned this lesson to receive :
More blest are they who see not, yet believe. -
Still dost thou wait for feeling? Dost thou say,
“Fain would I love and-trust, but hope is dead;
I have .no faith; and without ‘fhith, who my -
Rest in the blessing which is only shed
Upon the faithful ? I must stand and wait.”
Not so. The Shepherd does» not ask of thee
Faith in thy faith, but only faith in Him.
And this He meant in saying “Come to Me.“
in light or darkness seek to do his will,
And leave the work-of faith to Jesus still.

Fort Maxey, Blackwell’s Island.
Passengers by the Steamboat to New York '
have often noticed the earthwork on the up-
per end of Blackwell’s Island, constructed by
one offielunatics. Harper’s Magazine, for
Febr ary, has an illustrated article on the.
“Blackwell’s Island'Lunatic Asylumufi’afrom1
which we copy the following account of ‘ai .
visit to 'tliisintereeting fortification : , ' :
And now letus end our journeyings withé
an excursion to “FOrt Maxey.” At the far-,
:th‘ere'st extremity of the Island the ground,-
on' which it stands has been rescued from the
grasp of Neptune by the indefatigable 'en.j
deavors only of its proprietor, whose namd “
is Thomas Maxey, Esq.,,architect, mason,
carpenter, civil >. engineer, philosopher, and-
philanthropiet. ' ' . -* ' § '
The fort is a circular mound of earth, on
which stands a well some four feet high.
built'of blocks of clay and grass dug from the
marsh behind it. Through tlielwall project
the mouths of several large wooden cannon,
which, when presented to- him by the Com-'
missioners during the ' past war. Thomas
accepted with many thanks, declaring. they
would be a great protection to thex'Island ‘
and city in frightening ofi' rebel privateers.
He has erected a house of .- nOyel appearance
within this parapet containingtwo sleeping
apartments, a kitchen, and sitting-room, to-
getlier'comprisiuga space less than twelve
feet by eight.‘ His gfitden shows a taste for
the sublime, none but the tallest flowers be-
ing therein admitted. The 'hollyhock and
sunflowers sadly interfere with a view ofhis
interesting domicile. He is now building a
stone magazine back of this to contain his
ammunition, which exists in vast quantities
—in his imagination. The Whole structure,
together with the long embanked road lead-
ing to it, is the Work of his. own bands, and-
has occupied more thantliree years of what .
he deems his valuable time. Ner‘ is the “
work without value to the Cummissioners,
for in the process of construction he has, in
order render it accessible, dug. several ditch-
es through the marsh, and thus drained and
renderedusetul a great part of it.’ The ex-
tent of his'laboi's and of the work maybe un-
square rods have been raised fl'flln - eight to
ten feet, aud'that 'a-greet-part of the materi- '
al was carried a considerabledietauoe.
He has also ornamented the causeway lead- '
ing to the fort by a stone gate, the erection
of which would seem to mark an 'era‘in archr
itecture, as it is not built according to the
rules of. any ancient or modern school. A
great incentive to his labor has been that,
deeming the proprietorship vested in him-
self, he indulged the fond hope that the Cor-
poration of the city would appreciate the im-
portance of the situation and purchase the
whole for the advantage of thermetropolls.
The engraving exhibits two large openings
near the top of the gate ; these, Thomas'
says, are to accommodate wild- geese, who
will deposit eggs therein and raise their prog-
eny. _ As will be stumlsed, ltia not the first
tlmehe hes-been after Wild geese. . .

Captain Spelm’s Adventurewith
a Boa =Constrict0r.
At the earliest possible moment after camp
had been pitched, a hunt was set afoot, and
Captain Grant, myself and some attendants
were soon making our way to ‘the patch.'.
There were-no animals there when. we ar-
rived excepts few Hippopottami, and wei
of some more pelafeable ' game. . Our
patience however was severely taxed, and,
after a long delay, we we're about to i‘bsg’i
a hippooptamus, when an attendant perched
waving his blanket. This was-a signal —-that
game was approaching. 'We immediately
drew into cover and awaited: the coming of
the latter. V - ‘ ' '
We were not long delayed, for presently a
long column of animtiisifrom' the ‘ elephant
to the 'thO, [appeared in. view. tmttingsat' a

immediately afterfiring in- order to _ obtain a
fair shot at‘ ahuge elephant that .I. :Wanted
to bring down on account: of his immense
make. I got the desired aim, and'pulled the
trigger of my secondhand," Atthemomeut'
of'ni‘y' doing so a wild cry of .~ alarm, uut‘tered
by one of .the blacks, called my attention.
Glancingaround, my eye-chanced to. range
up in the foliage of the tree...beueath which
Captain Grant and myself hadlain for. sev-
eral hours previOus. My feelings may be
imagined, as I beheld an enormous boa con-
stricter 'whose‘heed and neck projectedsome
distance into view, showed that he. was
about to make a fatal spring. His direction
was certainly toward me; and as he flashed
from his position likea thunderbolt, I gave
myself up, for are aid could reach me, the
folds of the monster would have crushed
my strong frame into a quivering pulp. I
fell seemingly caught in a whirlwind of do at
and ‘a strange indescribable scuffle ensued.
In the midst of this ’ strife I suddenly be-
came conscious of the presence of a second
victim, and even after the time had elapsed
since then, I still recollected with what viv-
iduess the thought shot across my mind that
this second victim, was Captain Grant, my
noble companiOn. At last after being Whirl-
ed'about for several seconds, each second
seeming to be interminable, there caused a
lull, a itillness as of death, and I opened my
eyes. expecting to look upon those unex-
plored landscapes which are seen only in the
country beyond the tomb. Instead of that
I saw Capt. Grant levelling his rifle towards
me, while standing beside and behind. him
were the blacks in every conceivable atti.
tude of the most intense suspense. .
But inn moment I comprehended all. The
huge serpent had : struck a young bufi’alo cow
between him and, which .1 bad unluckily
placed myieli iit themome‘iitof firing .upon
the elephant. A most-singular good fortune
had attended me, however, for instead Of
being crushed into a mangled mass with the
unfortunate cow, my left forearm had Men
caught in between the bufialos body and a
single fold ‘of the boa constrictor. The limb
lay just in front of the shoulder and ' at the
root of the neck, and thus had a soft bed of
flesh, into which it was jammed , as it were,
by the immense , pressure of the serpenti
bedy, ’so that invite like iron in'harness;
As I saw Grant about to ' shoot, a terror
possessedme, for if he refrained, I might
pimibl'yeiic‘e‘pe‘, iifter the hon. released his
folds fr0m the dead cow. . But should be
fire and strike the reptile, it would in its con
vulsions, crush or drag me to pieces. Even
asthe idea came to me, I beheld Grant pause
{no doubt of it ; but my gains are small. Is
He appeared to comprehend all. He could
see how I was situated, that I was still liv-
, ing, and that my delivery depended on the
will .of the constrictor. We could me every
line-toneach other’sface, so close» were we,
and I would have shouted or spoken,or even
whishpered to him, had . I dared. But the
heels head was reared withina few inches
, of mine, and the wink of an eyelid would
have settled my doom; so I stared, stared
like a dead man at Grant and the blacks.
Presently the serpent began gradually to
relax his folds, and after tightening them
several times as the crushed bufialo quivered
he unwound one fold entirely. Thus he
paused. ,The next iron like band was the
onethat held me prisoner; and I felt it lit-
.tle by little-unclasping, my heart stood still
, with hope and fear. Perhaps upon being
3 freed the benumedrarm, uncontrolled by my
. will, might-fall from the cushion like bed in
which it lay. And such a mishap might bring
the spare fold around. my neck or chest, and
then farewell to the sources of the Nile.., Oh
how hardly, how desperately I struggled to
command myself! I glanced at Grant, and
saw him handling his rifle anxiously. I
glanced at the negroes, and saw them still
gazing as though petrified with astonish-
merit.
.‘ I glanced at the-serpent’s loathsome head
and saw its bright, deadly eyes, watching for
the least sign of life in its prey. Now then
the reptile loosenedits fold on my arm a
hair’s breadth, and now a little more until
half an inch separated my arm and its mot-
tled skin. I could have whipped out my
hand but dared not take the risk. Atoms of
time dragged themselves into ages, and a
minute seemed eternity itself ! The second
fold was removed entirely and the next one
was easing. Should I dash away now or
waita more favorable moment? I decided
upon the former ; and, with lightning speed
I bounded away toward Grant, the crack of
whose piece I heard at the instant. For the
first time in my life, I was thoroughly over-
come; and sinking down I remained in a
semi-conscious state several minutes
When I fully recovered, Grant and the
overjoyed negroes held me up and pointed
out the boa, who was still writhing in his
death agonies. I shuddered as I looked uP'
on the effects of his tremendous dying
strength. For yards around where he lay
grass, and bushes, and saplings, and in fact
every thing except the more fully grown
trees, were cut clean off as though they had
been trimmed With an immense scythe. This
monster when‘measured was fifty-one feet
two inches and a half in extreme length,
while round the thickest portion .of its body,
the girth Was nearly three feet thus proving
I believe, to be the largest serpent that ever
was authentically heard of.
a.»
. From the Evangelist.
Rum and Cholera.
God had His own Way at getting at our
sins, His own method of cutting them up
malaria branch. We have learned this as
the knife has been laid to the great national
.sin,'jnst cleft from us. The same thingis
foreshadowed in the wail that comes to us
. from the pestilence that now sweeps the old
world. One object of the divine method is
to make us see the connection between our
sins and sorrows. The rebellion grew on
the old stock . of slavery, the stem of the
fruit reached down to the veryjtap root of
the accuised tree. All see it now. And on
the late Thanksgiving day we hymned the
praises of Him who made the people see,
Now-auctb‘er giantevil rises and curses
‘our nation. Our neighborhoods, churches,
and families areinvaded. Is it not a little
remarkable that when intemperance threat-
ens us, the breath of the pestilence begins to
be felt ? Unless repentance and prayer
avert the danger, we will undoubtedly suf-
fer the ravages of cholera another year.
But has intemperance anything to do
with Cholera P Much every way. The con-
nection between the use of intoxicating
drinks and the fearful ravages of cholera is
so marked that I wonder no word of warn-
ing has been lifted. In examining this fact
I find the following facts which New York
city and every other city in the land ought
to look at. Here is the record entered by
the best physicians all over the world. “In
India . . . a native physician declares that
people who do not take spirits or opium, do
not catch the disorder, even when they are
with those who have.” As the pestilence
swept over India years ago it was stated that
“In the army, consisting of 18,000 men, more
thanhalf of the men died in the first twelve
days ; the free use of intoxicating liquors”
was assigned as the cause.
According to an eminent physician in
China, the disease selected its victims from
among such of the people as lived in filth
and intemperauce." '
Mr. Huber Who saw 2160 perish in twen-
ty-‘five days in one town in Russia, says :“It
is a most remarkable circumstance that perms
given to drinking have been wept away like
flies. In fijflt‘e, containing 20,000 inhabitants
every drunkard has fallen, all are dead! NOT
ONE mAiNs !
‘ “A physician of Warsaw says that the dis-
ease spared all those who led regular lives
and resided in healthy situations; whereas
they whose constitutions had been broken
down by excess and dissipation, were inva-
riably attacked. Out of 100 individuals de-
stroyed by Cholera, it was proved that nine-
ty had been addicted to the free use of ar-
dent spirits.”
“In Paris, of the 30,000 destroyed by chol-
era."-a few yeai‘b ago—“it is said that a
great proportion were intemperate and prof-
ligate." It is also stated by computation
that five-sfxths of all who Lave fallen by this
disease in England were taken from the
ranks of the intemperate and dissolute.”
A physician “who visited Montreal during
the prevalence of cholera in the Summer of.
1852,” says: “The victims of the disease are
the intemperate—it invariably cuts them
off." In that city, after there had been 1,200.
cases of the malady,a Montreal journal states
.that “not a drunkard who has been attacked
has recovered, and almost all the victims have
been at least moderate drinkers.”
During the same seaso echolera raged
in New York city. Dr. Sewall "of Washing-
ton city, atter visiting the hospitals of New
New York, thus records facts—“Of 204 ca-
ses of Cholera in Park Hospital, there were
wrote had died; and the facts were sim-
list in all the hosptals.
only six temperate persons, and they had re- p
cavered; while 122 of the others,” when he'
' _ v'.' i.»merWy:-:nae.mgan
Areliable gentlemen of New York city
says of that period when the scourge visited
our city, “Facts abundantly authorize the
conclusion, that had it not been for the sale
and use of spirits, there had not been chole-
ra enough in the city of New York to have
caused the cessation of business for a single
day.”
Agentleman residing in the city at the
time has thus marked the connection 'be-
tween rum and cholera ; “A quantity, of
spirits was taken from a certain store in the
morning, and distributed to a number of
grog-shops. in the evening the workmen
assembled and received their accustomed
quantity. The next morning one, and
another, and another, were carried
by my door to the hospital, and in the after-
noon were faken t0 the Potters Field.”
The experience of the city of Albany adds
testimony to the above. “It is not known
that more than'two individuals out of the
five thousand members of the Temperance
Societies(total abstainers) in that city, he-
came its victims; while of the 21,000 of the
rest of the population-the number of deaths
of persons over sixteen years of age was 334’
Of the abstainers, one in 2,500 died, While
ofthe moderate and immoderate drinkers
about 40in 2,500 died. And wherever the
pestilence has gone, computation has shown
that rum catches and binds nine-tenths of the
victims. Chicago has just undertaken to
raise $100,000 for sanitary purposes—to pre-
pare lor the coming pestilence. The peo-
ple will drain ponds, build sewers, sweep
streets, remove filth, and actually license
thousands—I know not how many—of rum
shops to prepare victims' for the Cholera.
A few weeks ago a vessel landed in New
York Harbor With a few cases of cholera on
board. The bare possibility that the disease
would spread, almost produced a pan—
ic; the daily papers came out with edi-
torials on immediate Sanitary measures,
the family circles and pulpits were furnished
with theme' for earnest prayer, , right
enough. But the great forerunner of chole-
ra—z'ntemperance—has been raging in the
city for years; yet there is no panic;not much
prayer or preaching on the subject.The same
is true in our beautiful State, and in her
cities. Detroit is bloated, saturated, drown-
ed almost With beer,ale, and poisoned liquors
of all kinds. Our villages are cursed With a
curse. Already we are beginning to call up-
on God to arrest the coming pestilence. As
faith Without works is dead, it is proposed
that all ministers of the gospel, all ofllcers
in our churches, all Sabbath School teachers
all praying people take immediate measures
to save millions of men from ravages of
cholera. Let total abstinence from all that
can intoxicate accompany our prayers.—
Let all the people be persuaded to sign the
pledge and keep it too.

Schuyler Colfax.
Easy Chair has seen and heard Schuyler "
Colfax—beard him as he appeared before an
immense audience at the Cooper Institute,
New York on Thursday evening week, and
was greeted with enthusiasm and cheers as
he deserved to be. Easy Chair does not pro
pose to report Speaker Colfax's lecture, for
that would be an act of injustice to him, since
he intends to repeat it elsewhere—perhaps:
to our vast parish of readers. We design
simply to draw a pen and ink portrait of the
distinguish ed Lecturer, Statesman and
Speaker.
Schuyler Colfax is an Eastern man, who
has been expanding at the West, and is now
a representative man of the occident. He is
eminently a national man ; and in a politi-
cal point of view, he is the third man of the
nation. Like the man who occupies the first
place of state—the Presidential chair—he is
self-made, earning his bread with printeis’
type and with the quill, as Andrew Johnson
did with bodkin and shears, as LaFayelte S.
Foster with the plow and spade. Mr. Col~
fax however was not a mere type setting ma-
chine. There was an emotion in his soul
which kindled a thought in his brain and
vibrated to his finger tips; and his electric
loyalty palpitated on the printed page which
be scattered broadcast among readers who
became constituents.
In the meridian of life—Without the ad-
vantages of early culture—Schuyler Colfax
the graduate of a printing oflice, has distanc-
ed a great crowd of competitors for the prize
of distinction, which he has won ; and he
stands to-day, one of the most popular and
influential men of the country. ’Wliere shall
we look for the secret of his success? Not
in the learning of the schools, for he makes
no‘pretension to superior scholarship : not
in the circulation of his paper for it was a
weekly journal, Whose subscribers did not
run farinto the thousands ; not alone.to his
eloquence, for that is uneven,and seldom up
to the highest standard; not to his wealth,
for he is not a rich man. He has at-
tained his present high and honorable posi-
tionby his unswerving consistency, his wise
discletionmis fidelity to his friends,andhistrue
'love hfcountryfi A ready and graceful wri-
ter, and a fluent and logical debater, he was
alw'ays’able to state his views with clearness
and force, and few were strong and skilfull
enough to fence with him in the arena of de-
bate.
In person Mr. Colfax, is of medium size
and stature. His temperament is nervous
billions; and his head, though not large, is
well shaped, and a phrenologist Would say
that his brain is compact and of fine texture.
His hair is dark and slightly frosted; his face
thin, and here and there indented with
thought marks ;his voice is rather harsh,and
when he speaks he is apt to get in an up and
down see-saw manner of delivery, although
he often breaks out in strains of graceful and
beautiful utterance, culminating in true elo-
quence. His matter is seldom common-place
and is often of the highest order, since it has
askillful admixture of common sense and
emotion. The heart is sure to palpitate uu~
dcr his thoughtful speech. In a word his
brain is well over a true, brave and loving
heart.
We will say, in a whisper, to the ladies,
that be is a widoWer, without children, and
that there is not a word of truth in the re-
port that he is engaged to be married to
a daughter of Lieutenant-Gov. Brass,
editor in chief of the Chicago Tribune.

WA‘ somewhat novel, though by no

ravages in some parts of Prussia, particularly
in Berlin and Hedersleben, where large num-
bers have died from its effects. 'It‘is called
