SYMPTOM ROAD.

The Simplon road, which surmeunts one OF
the snowy SUBMITS of the Alps and opens
communication between France and Italy
was projected by Napoleon and executed by
his order. 1t is stupendous work and ex-
cites the admiration Of every traveller. The
highest part of the road is 5000 feet Cup
wards of a mile) above the level OF the sea.
1t is upwards Of forty miles in extent, and
passes on the extreme declivity OF ridges,
over awful chasms and foaming torrents, ana
tbrurh prodigious masses Of rock. The
road is so constructed that the slope no
where exceeds two and half inches in six
feet, and carriages can descend without lock-
ing the wheels at any place. There are SIX
galleries cut through the solid rock, the
most prodigious of which is 40 rods long ~
feet wide and 80 feet high with three wide
openings cut throughits sides to admit light.
Thirty men were employed night and day
(being relieved every eight hours by as many
oshers) for eighteen months in efecting this

gallery. On the lower side OF the road there
is a wall laid with stone and mortar, with
posts ten feet high erected at intervals to DIS
tinguish the road from the preciplce, when
the whole is covered with snow. The guam
tity Of masonry on this wall and at the abut-
ments is immense. The road passes over
264 bridges. Fourteen stone houses are built
at certain intervals across the mountain, the
occupants of which are bound to keep their
stoves heated night and day in cold weather,
and room ready for travellers. The Catho-
lies have small oratories on the route, each
containing small cruciGx, where they stop
and perform their devotions and near the
top is convent of monks. On the Italian
side of the m ountain is the village OF Slmplon,
with twenty houses and the cottages, where
the poor remain in the summer to feed their
goats arc found in every part of the Alps,
some of them at an amazing height.
Nothing which Napoleon has executed,
(says professor Griscom) will be regarded
with more unmingled satisfaction. or furnish
more durable monument ofhis public spirit,
than the Simplon road. 1t must ever couf-

SINGULAR ROBBERY.

The following adventure, which happened
in 1921, at Mara, near Langres, would make
no bad figure in a melo-drama. A person
passing through a wood towards nightfall.
was stopped by man who presenting pls-
tol, demanded his money or his life; the
traveller gave him twelve francs, declaring
it was all he had about him. The robber
took the money that was offered, and the
traveller made off as fast as his legs could
carry him !; half dead with fright, yet hap
py at having got away so cheaply. He soon
reached farm house, where believing him.
self to be in safety, he requested hospitality
after having related his adventure; adding
that he had contrived to save considerable
sum from the rapacity of the robber. The
mistress of the house, who was at this time
alone, offered him an asylum but said he
would be obliged to sleep in the hay loft;
this offer was accepted with gratitude, our
traveller preferring an uncomfortable bed to
dangerous rencosftres.-He had scarcely laid;
himself down in the hay loft, when he heard
the master of the house; the latter related
to his wife, that fortune had not been very
favourable to him this time that he had
met with but one traveller, from whom he
had got no more than twelve francs. From
the circumstances of his narrative, his wife
was persuaded that the person whom she
had taken in, was the very same whom her
husband had stopped; she informed Rim of
it, and they agreed that during the night the
man should go up into the hay-loft and push
the traveller down, while he slept, and that
the wife armed with an axe, should imme-
diately despatch him. Very luckily, our
traveller had not lost a word of this CONVEX
sation; he kept himself upon his guard, and
at the moment when the assassin mounted
the ladder into the hay loft, to execute his
project, struck hin blow on the head, so
that he fell quite stunned to the floor below,
where his wife instantly cut off his head with
her axe The traveller fed to the neigh3
boring village, and gave information of the
; the officer of police repaired
to the spot, and the woman was arrested.

Englishwoman, made herself, either by her
beauty or her skill, Chief of tribe of Arabs,
i'll the Desarts of Syria, over whom she reign
ed with absolute power. News has lately

man near her. The two captains were in-
formed that she was generally dressed like
a Turk that the people adored her, and
were never satisfied with talking of her beau
ty and magnanimity.-PGrish hater.
We have never heard Of this singular fe-
male except through the French papers.
On reference to the Mercury Of May 81, 1916
we find the first mention Of her, which we
copied from the French journals. Lady
Hesther Stanhope is there described as the
niece, friend and intimate companion OF the
late Mr.. Pitt; after whose death she formed
the project of travelling in the Levant. She
visited Malta and Constantinople, and was
shipwrecked in her voyage to Palestine.
She was rescued, and conveyed to Syria at
ter which she travelled in all directions, ac-
companied by our countryman Bruce, who
aided the escape of Lavalette. The same
accounts add, that after innumerable adven-
tnrcs She was then at the head Of some tribes
of Bedouin Arabs, who regarded her as be-
ing of a superior order. This was the SUBJ
stance Of the French account of our fair coun-
trywomen in 1916, to which, together with
the more recent intelligence from Paris, our
readers may attach what credit they deem fs
deserving Of.

Frank OS6aidistone's lament oper the .grave
of Diana Vernon.

Of Diana Vernon.
"You know how long and happily lived
4 with Diana-You know how lamcnted her
But you do not-cannot know how much she
deserved her husbands sorrow ROD Roy
Oh we had loved, when joy was near,
And fondly smiling flirted DER us
Yes we have loved through hope and fear,
As lovers ne'cr have loved bcfore-us.
Oh we have loved, when grief hath spread
With hand profane, its thorns around US,
When woe its mldew o'cr US shed,
And in it's iron hand both bound us.
We've loved-but where are now the hours
OF bliss that love was ever bringing!
Or where are now the blooming flowers
That in our path were ever springin8!
We've loved-but where is now that charm
That like radiant star was beaming!
Where is its ray-so bright and warm
That over US was ever streaming!
Those hours of bliss with thee have fed;
That star Diana, now hath faded
These roses on thy tomb lie dead
When thou vast gone they dropped unaid
ed.
Yes, we have loved, when one by ono
The friends of early youth have vanished
Till every beaming eye was gone,
Where radiance once all sorrow banished.
Yet still we loved, although around
Have we beheld Deaths devastation
blest in each other, still we found
"An Eden of our own creation"
But e'en those visions of delight
Th' insatiate foe of man hath broken !;
Of all that once was fair or bright,
Remembrance holds the only token.
Oh there's cord within my breast,
Visions of former bliss awaking;
When memory's touch is on it Prest,
1t vibrates till my heart is breaking.
From earth's delights and joys, oh why
Should fate form so beauteous sever?
How could it doom heart to die,
That should have lived In bliss forever
And am left Der thy cold tomb
drink the bitter draught OF sorrow;
! feel within my soul the gloom
Ofthat dark night which knowcs no NOR
row.
That night-the night of fell despair
Forever spreads its curtain DER US;
Within me-all seems chill and drear--
Without-thy tomb is still before me.
Farewell thy heart hath ceased to beat,
Thy calm blue eye is closed forever
Farewell, farewell, until we meet
To part again-oh never,never!

FRoM THE ADVERTISER


Messrs. EDITORS,
A desire 90 be rightly informed on a subject
which has excited considerable curiosity ID
the circle ofmy acquaintance, induces me to
trouble you with the following lines. You
will feel the obligation you are under TO pub
hsh them, when inform you, we are your
constant readers
We are at loss to conjecture whv the
gentlemen are Of late, so altered in their dress
aud department. Instead OF the trimly-dress-
cd, tower-tOpped beau. that formerly tripped
along our streets, we are hourly offended by
the sight Of a race Of odd looking fellows.
measuring their slow steps under broad bea-
vers, which give them the appearance of the
pstriarchs Of antiquity. Various opinions
have been expressed as to the cause of this
change. Some believe il to be a mark of DO
htical distinction and that those who have
thus lowered their peaks" are enlisted in
the cause of Crawford. Others suppose them
TO be inclined to quakerism in order TO escape
militia duty, or to avoid the impending war
which is said 10 be foretold BY the late comet.
And others, equally positive, think they are
worn only BY such as are candidates for mat
rimony, in token of their submission to the
superior rights of the ladies during leap year.
If any Of your correspondents will inform us
what Is the real cause of this change they
viii confer signal favor on RUTH.
