No less than nine lines of steam railway enter the city, and several others are under construction. Over 100 trains come and go daily. The city is on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and every train from the Atlantic to the Pacific which takes the shortest route, must pass over the ​Alexandra bridge. The Grand Trunk Railway passes through Ottawa on its way from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. The city is a terminus of the Ottawa and New York Railway.

RIDEAU CANAL.
The War of 1812 with the United States, in which Toronto and Newark (Niagara) were destroyed by United States troops, in retaliation for which Canadians burned Buffalo, Oswego and Sackett's Harbour, shewed the British Government the need of an internal line of communication. Upon the advice of the great Duke of Wellington it was therefore determined to construct a continuous inland waterway from Montreal to Kingston, via the Ottawa river. For the purpose of connecting this river with the Great Lakes, the Imperial Government, in 1826, sent Lt.-Col. John By, R.E., to construct the Rideau Canal. The corner-stone of the locks was laid by Sir John Franklin, the great Arctic explorer, in August, 1827, on his return from a voyage in search of the North Pole. The work of constructing the canal was one of considerable magnitude, but was successfully accomplished in 1832, at a cost of about $5,000,000. The total length is 126 miles. The difference in level between the Ottawa river and Lake Ontario is 458 feet. This is overcome by 47 locks, the majority of which are 134 feet in length by 33 feet in width; of these, 8 are in the heart of the city.

Chap. CXXXVII.—Of Variety in History.
A painter should delight in introducing great variety into his compositions, avoiding repetition, that by this fertility of invention he may attract and charm the eye of the beholder. If it be requisite according to the subject meant to be represented, that there should be a mixture of men differing in their faces, ages, and dress, grouped with women, children, dogs, and horses, buildings, hills and flat country; observe dignity and decorum in the principal figure; such as a king, magistrate, or philosopher, separating them from the low classes of the people. Mix not afflicted or weeping figures with joyful and laughing ones; for Nature dictates that the cheerful be attended by others of the same disposition of mind. Laughter is productive of laughter, and vice versâ.

The young student should begin by sketching slightly some single figure, and turn that on all sides, knowing already how to contract, and how to extend ​the members; after which, he may put two together in various attitudes, we will suppose in the act of fighting boldly. This composition also he must try on all sides, and in a variety of ways, tending to the same expression. Then he may imagine one of them very courageous, while the other is a coward. Let these attitudes, and many other accidental affections of the mind, be with great care studied, examined, and dwelt upon.

Chap. CXXXIX.—Of Variety of Faces.
The Italian painters have been accused of a common fault, that is, of introducing into their compositions the faces, and even the whole figures, of Roman emperors, which they take from the antique. To avoid such an error, let no repetition take place, either in parts, or the whole of a figure; nor let there be even the same face in another composition: and the more the figures are contrasted, viz. the deformed opposed to the beautiful, the old to the young, the strong to the feeble, the more the picture will please and be admired. These different characters, contrasted with each other, will increase the beauty of the whole.
It frequently happens that a painter, while he is composing, will use any little sketch or scrap of drawing he has by him, and endeavour to make it serve his purpose; but this is extremely injudicious, because he may very often find that the members he has drawn have not the motion suited to what he means to express; and after he has adopted, accurately drawn, and even well finished them, he will be loth to rub out and change them for others.

# Addresses in Memory of Carl Schurz/POEM BY RICHARD WATSON GILDER

See also “Carl Schurz” in The poems of Richard Watson Gilder (1908).
CARL SCHURZ
* IN youth he braved a monarch's ire
* To set the people's poet free;
* Then gave his life, his fame, his fire
* To the long praise of liberty.
* His life, his fame, his all he gave
* That not on earth should live one slave;
* True freedom of the soul he sought
* And in that battle well he fought.
* He fought, and yet he loved not war,
* But looked and labored for the day
* When the loud cannon silent are
* And holy peace alone hath sway.
* Ah, what a life! From youth to age
* Keeping the faith, in noble rage.
* Ah, what a life! From knightly youth
* Servant and champion of the truth.
* Not once, in all his length of days
* That falchion flashed for paltry ends;
* So wise, so pure, his words and ways,
* Even those he conquered rose his friends,
* For went no rancor with the blow;
* The wrong, and not the man, his foe.
* He smote not meanly, not in wrath;
* That truth might speed he cleaved a path.
* The lure of place he well could scorn
* Who knew a mightier joy and fate;—
* The passion of the hope forlorn,
* The luxury of being great;—
* The deep content of souls serene
* Who gain or lose with equal mien;
* Defeat his spirit not subdued,
* Nor victory marred his noble mood.
