Be true to yourself at the start, young manBe true to yourself and God: Ere you build for your house, mark well the spot— 1 e.-1 well the ground, and build you not
On the sand or the shaking sod.
l)u dig the foundation deep, young manan he a Let the props be strong, and the roof be high,
Like an open turret toward the sky, Through which heavenly dews may fall.
Lot this be the room of the soul, young manWhen shadows shall herald care A chamber with never a roof or thatch
To hinder the light—or door or latch To shut in the spirit's prayer!
Build slow and sure 'tis for LIFE, young man— A life that outlives the breath For who shall gainsay the Holy Word? "Their works do follow them," saith He, "Therein there is no death."
Build deep, and high, and broad, young man— As the needful case demands Let your little deeds be clear and bright.
Till you enter your claim to the Lord of Light, For the "house not made with hands."

THE Cuban revolutionists are getting some proof of sympathy, if nothing more. Peru and Chili, two governments barely able to stand alone, have recognized them as belligerents, thus bringing to bear against Spain a concentration of weakness that will be hard to overcome.
ENGLISH papers are beginning to urge the construction of a through railroad from England to India via the river Euphrates. They claim that the undertaking will be no greater than was that of the great American Pacific Railroad. The work is among the possible things.
A COLORED workman is employed and actually works in the Government Navy Yard, in Washington, and a colored man, Douglass, is working in the Government Printing Office, and yet white men don't "strike," but after loud threats and protests find them "very clever fellows."
SOUTHERN papers are complimenting their people on their success in manufacturing ice. The New Orleans papers claim that sufficient will be made in that city this year to make importations from the North unnecessary. It is claimed, too, that the manufactured ice is cooler than the winter ice of the North. The first ice of importance manufactured in this country was in the early days of the

Tn*: question of the recognition, by the United States, of the Cubans as belligerents is nearly solved. A dispatch from Washington announces that Secretary Fish has "expressed himself quite freely." In his viewprobably—if—as there are three parties on'the Island—Peru and Chili had acted unwisely in recognizing them—fec., &c. Meantime, the Cuban ladies will hold fairs at the principal watering places in this country, to obtain money to assist their husbands and brothers in the contest
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, who may reasonably be supposed to have "cooled down" sufficiently to know what lie is talking about, in a late let ter to the National Intelligencer, of Washington, thus states the cause of the war: "The war was inaugurated and waged by those at the head of the Federal Government against those States, or the people of those States, to prevent their withdrawal from the Union. On the parff of these States, which had allied themselves in a common cause, it was maintained and carried on puraly in defense of this great right, claimed by them, of State -sovereignty and self-government."
This follows a declaration that slavery WAS only the occasion of the war. This may be true, but it is spoiling the old Democratic capital of "abolition raids," which the party cannot well afford to give up yftt.

Eighteen sonambulists, treated in this way, it is asserted, have either been entirely cured or greatly relieved.

Block coal was found in Clay county, about twenty miles east of Terrc Haute, four years ago and now, nine companies, employing one thousand men, get out from 800 to 1,000 tons daily.

The block coal fields of Clay county cover eighty thousand acres. Until 1865, block coal was found only in the Chenango (Pa.) and Mahoning (O.) valleys.
An attempted break is reported at the Northern State Prison. Hoosier Bill, a famous footpad of Indianapolis, sentenced to fourteen years, led a revolt on Tuesday of last week, at the dinner table, calling upon all who panted for liberty to follow him. About two dozen made rush for the door, but it so happened that a guard who had a revolver with him appeared just at the moment, and when Bill threatened to cut his heart out the man fired, shooting the convict in the neck. Hoosier Bill made another lunge at the guard, but received another ball in the body, and fell to the floor mortally wounded. The balance seeing their leader fall, quieted down, and the revolt ended. The plan of escape was to seize a freight car, and using it as a battering ram, break down the wall gate where the railroad line enters the Penitentiary grounds.
