Howard at Atlanta.BTJOTEf ,

-

Eight in the track where ShermanPlonzhed his red farrow," Out of the narrow cabin,Up from the cellar's burrow, .

Gathered tbe little black people.With freedom newly dowered,

Where, beside their northern teacher.Stood the soldier, Howard.

He listened and heard the childrenOf the poor and long enslared

Reading the words of Jesus,Sineing tbe songs of David.

Behold ! the dumb lips spealLlng,The blind eyes seeing !

Bones of the Prophet's visionWarmed Into being !

Transformed, he saw them passing;Their new life's portal ; .

Almost it seemed the mortalPat on the immortal.

No more with tbe beasts of harden, -

No more with stone and clod.But crowned with glory and honor

In the image of God !

There waa the human chattelIts manhood taking;

. There, in each dark, bronze status,A soul was waking !

The man of many battles.With tears his eyelids pressing,

Stretched over those dusky foreheadsxus one-arm- piessing.

And he said : "Who hears can neverFear for or doubt you :

What shall I tell thechlldrenUp North about yeya 7"

Xhen ran round a. whisper, a mnrmur.Some answer devising ;

And a little boy stood up : "Mssss,Tell 'em we're rising,''

O black boy of Atlanta! ;.But half was spoken :

The slave's chain and the master's '

Alike are broken-Th- eone curse of the races '

Held both In tether !They are rising all are rising,

The black and white together !"O brave men and fair women !

Ill comes of hate and scorning ;Shall the dark faces only

Be turned to morning?Make Time your sole avenger,

All healings ;Meet fate half way, and make it

A joy and blessing.

. Geological Surrey , of Ohio.

. From an able article by' Hon. . E. ,D,Mansfield in the Cincinnati Gazette, wetake the following :

' Let us now proceed to show the value, we should say almost necessity, ofa geological surrey.. The question ofwhether a geological survey ought to bemade is no longer debatable.. EveryState in Europe, and all of Our Stateswhich have been led to consider thesubject, have had geological surveys.describing exactly what is, and whatwe may expect under the surfaces ofthe States Massachusetts, New York,Pennsylvania Michigan, Kantucky, Illi-nois, Iowa, and, we believe, other Statenave naa geological - surveys. Alichi--

fan has been paid for her survey anundred fold by the disclosure of tbe

value and quality of the Sacrinaw SaltI Works. But where is the limit of saltin Ohio r In order that we may understand the full value of a geologicalsurvey of Ohio, we will refer a momentto what may be termed rather a "recon- -noissance" than a survey, made in Ohioin 15&-3- Tne principal report wasmade to Governor Shannon, in 1838.The principal geologist was the late W,VV. Mather, and his assistants were thalate John Locke. Colonel Forster, Colonel ananes w lurtiesey, IToressorsKirtland and Vi Briees.' Thev dividedtne LHie Detween mem, ana had Onlymade preliminary reports when thesurvey was arrested. Nevertheless,that reconnoissanne was valuable ; butnot a teutn pan as vaiaame as a geological survey mar be made. We donot regara geology as a certain science,by any means, but what it observes iscertain and all the faots in resrard tostratified rocks and mineral depositsare certain. Prof. Dana, of the exploring expedition, described the rocks ofCalifornia as ef the gold bearing kind,and, iD two or three years after, California was revealed as tne greatest goldbearing State in the world. Now. letus look a little at the report of 1838. inregard to some of the most importantpoints.

1 Of Salt. Few people know thatthe salt bearing rocks are found In alarge part of the State of Ohio, andOhio is now a large producer of salt.Yet this fact seems not to have beenknown to Mr. Weils, the Commissionerof Internal Kevenue, who treats thesalt works ot Syracuse and Saginaw asmonopolies. There can be no more amonopoly of salt In this country thanthere can be of air and water. Why,the State of Ohio alone can supply thewhole country with salt. We havebeen told, and believe it to be true,that in the war of 1812-1- 5, salt wasmade in the west part of Hamiltoncounty, near the Great Miami river,Tbe work was very soon abandonedbecause the water was very weak. Itshould be observed that to make saltwith profit, only tbe strongest watercan be used. Salt water may be foundin Tuscarawas county, but, neverthe-less, has never been made there. Salthas been made on the Muskingum formore than half a - century. Fortyyears ago, half a million of bushelswere made annually. Little salt is nowmade except at Pomeroy. Observe thatin the report of 1838. that section of thsState was not surveyed, and no mention wnatever was made of r'omeroyas a locality of salt ; and now Pome-roy makes two millions of bushels ofsalt a year. Now a thorough geological survey may disclose many suchlacts as these. Where is the limit ofsalt in Ohio T

2. Coal. Cheap coal is the foundation of the success and prosperity ofBritish manufacturers. But where isthere more coal and where ought it tobe cheaper than in the State of Ohio 7Ohio has coal enough to supply themanufacturers for a thousand years.As yet. we have not economized thedistribution enough to make it verycheap, although not much over halfthe cost in New York and New Eng-land. It is found in thirty counties ofOhio, and covers a surface of 12,000square miles. It is found in successive strata of 1,000 feet in depth, aodfrom one to fifteen feet in thickness.cropping out in various places, where itnow minea. Home or it is of ex-traordinary quality. Now, at present.we only know where certain stratacrop out, and sometimes, as in that ofthe Briar Hill coal, at points iar dis-tant

'

from one another. Now, it is ofdeep interest to a large number of thepeople of this Stale manufacturersand the inhabitants of towns that weshould know where the best strata ofcoal are, and that we should thus beenabled to make arrangements foreconomizing the production of coal it.reference to future manufactures.

3. Iron. The iron strata of Ohiocovers nearly half the coal strata, andunquestionably are more extensive A.than they have been supposed. Iron isfound as far west ( we except tbe Bob-ore) as Medina county in the north, andAdams county in the south. Iron wasfirst mioed in Adams county. Ironprobably extends throuerh the whole ofGallia eonnty and part of Meigs, although the eastern furnace there hasbeen "Gallia furnace," in the west ofGallia county. Now. extend thia broadbelt to tbe lakes, and you have theron region of Obio. of which not n

tenth part is developed. We ought toknow the limits of this iron mine, and

various qualities of it. Bog iron isfound in several counties of the north-west.

theIf we get cheap coal and cbpaD

ron (as we shall) no Eastern State orforeign country can compete with Obio

are examples.We have said enough to show that a

geological survey ought to be made, andbe mada immediately, if for no other

reason than to trace out and define ourmmense mineral deposits. But there

another reason, which will comehome to everybody. Our aarictUturt isdeclining ; that is, we have tiot proportionally so large crops or grain. We

convinced that this is due in a greatmeasure to the want of proper manage-men- t

of the grountl. in the old wheatdistricts, and in much of the corn land,

ground wantstertllizing, witb some itsnew ingredients. What are they?What is necessary to our soils? Whoknows but that the gypsum aud peat gotbeds may not be ued advantageously

a provision for ascertaining the ex-act topography of the State. Tbe debtand the expenses of tbe State are now themuch diminished, and we can afford to thata little for practical and useful sci-ence. E. D. M. out

his neck, the end forming a noose, as ifhad been tied to something. The

In tjie new house, which looked smil-ing and homelike, lived Madeliane Al--thausen, now a happy wife and moth-er. She was no lonsrer pale and thin.but had grown plump, and red-cheek- ed

and comely. A tall youth called her!mother, and a goodly array of girls andboys filled up t he interval between himand the toddling urchin who clung toher ample skirts as she moved about herhouseheld. Her husband worked in afamous workshop, where they madewonderful clocks. He clever.was verv, , . . '1 l l 1 i.ana couia mtute an sons oi nine-piec- es

with little birds flying m and out oithem at all hours of the day, and clockswith little men ana women who cameout to ring a bell or play on jingling tam-bourines, every time the hands wentround. Every room in the house hada strange timekeeper, and at everyhour there was such a singing and striking, ana "cucitooing," mat with thenoise of them, and the shouts andlaughter of the children, one might al-most lose his senses.But Madeliane and herhusband mind-

ed it not. They were happy and con-tented, and the roses bloomed on thedame's cheeks as they had neverbloom- -

ea there wnen sne was a maiden.All these years Peter Althausen had

been wandering over the earth. Therewas a restless spirit in him which didnot permit him to remain quietly in

bind him. for his heart seemed quite I

dead in his breast, and he had no svm--1pathy with the pursuits of his fellow-- 1

beings.After twenty years, on the anniversary

of the day on which he had drank theyouth-givin- g Elixir, he had returnedto his native town, led by avaguecuri- -osity which he could not understand.and which was more like humanemotion than anything he had felt inall these years.

He sought out the house where hisdaughter lived, and going softly up, helooked in through the diamond-pane- dwindow whirih intted nnt nnon thestreet. It was after dusk, and all thechildren, were in bed except the talleldest, who sat at the table fashioningsome wonderful piece of mechanismout of bits of steel, and wire, and wood.Madelaine sat in hep low chair by thefire, which burned brightly on thehearth, holding her youngest baby toher breast. Her husband was seated byher side, smoking his pipe and curlingslow wreaths of smoke up from hismouth, as he looked thoughtfully inthe fire. All this Peter could see as helooked through the window.

"Yes," said Gottlieb, rousing himselfrom his reverie as she commencedspeaking, "and thou hast been a goodwife all these years, Madelaine."

"What become of mv grandfather T"asked the youth, lookingup front hiswork.

"I cannot tell," answered his mothersadly. "My poor mother, who diedshortly afer he disappeared, said theElixir of Life he had so long workedfor, came at last, and that she saw himchanged into a youth of twenty sum-mers. But her wits wandered, poorsoul, from the day he went away. Ionly know he was gone one day and nev-er returned again. I think heSvas craz-ed because his cauldron went to piecesand spilled the liquor for which he hadworked so long, and he went away anddied in his grief and madness."

"now strange it would be," said herhusband, "and how sad to live always;to see all our friends die, and be left" tolive alone. How should Hive withoutthee, dearest T" he added, taking herhand tenderly, while the head oi" thematron leaned over and rested on hisshoulder.

"Ah, yes," she signed, "what wouldlife be worth if one lived without sym- -

and without love t It pains mefiathy of it." And two tears whichhad stood in her eyes, foil over hercheeks upon the shining head of thebabe which nestled in ner fair, whitebosom.

All this Tetor' Althausen saw andheard. A strange feeling stirred with-in him as he looked .on., the peaceful

; a mingling of emotion whichtroupe Ibr many years, arose ia bis

The mixture in the furnace engrossedhis senses. It was growingmore and

more brilliant, and the glowing bub-bles rose higher and higher, till theyoverflowed the cauldron's brim andwere devoured by the leaping flamesbeneatn. emptied slowly, dropafter drop, the contents of the bowl in

the Doiiing mass.Then, from out the cauldron and

encircling it, a vapor began to rise ; avapor which grew larger and denser,till at len rth it touch the ceilinsr like aflame-color- ed cloud. The cloud began1..0 1) 1 1 1, ir tii nTinnira in fVi .i .nit u !i 'i nitself, till, while the old man looked,the cloudy mass put on the semblance

Peter cowered before the presence. I

wait for him, but spoke in deep muttering tones, like the distant roar of afierce fire :

"Peter Althausen, thy life-wo- rk isfinished. In the bottom of this caul-dron are some precious drops of theElixir of life enough to make theeand thine immortal. It is thine thereward of thy whole life's labor.Drink, if thou wishest it ; but pauseere it is at thy lips. Once having quaff-ed it, thy life is no longer subject to thelaws which govern the lives of othermen. Thou art forever shut out from thesympathy with them. Thou canst nev

from love, pity, or sympathy, the spellbroken, and thou art once more a

Peter Althausen heard as if it werea dream. The human shape turned

back to cloud again, the cloud meltedinto thin vapor, rolled away from thecauldron, and dissipated itself amongthe brown rafters of the ceiling. Peterlooked into the vessel. At the bottomwere a few drops not more than a smallvial full, of a liquid as clear as crystaland yellow as molten gold. He dip-ped Into it a small ladle of siver, andquickly collected every drop into a crys-tal drinking cup which he had ready.When he had taken up the last drop,tUa hn.. nanlMn ...i, 1. 1...
