A NEW RAILROAD7PROJECT.

A NEW RAILROAD7PROJECT.
From the following account of the pro-
cecdings of meeting of the friends of inter-
MI Improvements, in Boston, held at the u
nited States Hotel. il is evident that portion
Of that city are still alive to the immense ad
vantages Of the trade of Western Vermont.
Had they fully considered this subject when
they first concluded to connect Lake Cham
plain with Boston. all the arts and misrepre
sentaiions Of the Centrals could never
have induced them to have spent the first red
cent upon circuitOus road. through a com
parativeIy mountainous and sterile portion Of
the State, and TO be constructed at an ex-
pense Of probably near million of dollars
more Ihnn one passing through Western Yer
mont Astounding in agricultural wealth, and
comprising niuetenths Of all the rich miner
al productions Of the State. The conse-
quences, however, of this Sender, the Bos-
Ioniaus are at last inclined to repair by exten-
ding a branch from the great trunk of the
the Western road at Prsfeld to Burlington.
If the people Of this region are to be defeated
in direct communication ia the line of the
Rutland road. TO hich they hitherto looked
with confidence. ana will still look ill all hope
ends in disappointment, they viii early en-
brace this new project which promises scarce
Il less advantages than the completion of the
original design. Ii is not to be believed that
4 region Which is more able 10 make rich re-
turns to Railroad investments than any other
portion of New England is long tc be deprived
of Railroad communication.
Forsaken by friends who are unhappily
misIed by The most enormous frauds, maneu-
verings and representations of the Gem
trails to defeat the Rutland road, by an uanat
ural alliance Of the Fitchburg and Central. |
we look with delight to the brilliant prospects |
which are Lighting upin the Southern horri-
zon. There i little doubt that this project
will be good one for The stockholders of the
Worcester and Western roads, body Of cap |
iIalists in Boston who are suro to accomplish
any enterprise in which they may enlist
Boston, New York, Albany, and the great
West would be equally accessible by means
of this mighty thOroughfare. Still we intend
by no means TO he committed TO this new
project. We will not consent to abandon
the long cherished hope Of direct commuD-
cation with the noble metropolis OF New Eng
land, until we are certain she is determined
to turn deaf ear to all the solicitations Of
the friends of the Rutland Road.
The consideration Of this new scheme ill
give deep interest to the discussions Of the
Rutland meeting Oh the l4Ih, and we hope
every man who feels an interest for the pros
perity of Western Vermont, will be present
upon that occasion.

startling fact, Mrs - requested her husband to

something TO say to him. She then left the room,
hurried up stairs, and shortly afterwards returned

after our marriage you gave me this precious book,

Beauty is Dead.
Snow-stormy Winter rides
Wild on the blast,
Hoarsely the sullen tides
Shoreward are cast;
Morn meets no more the lark
Warbling oerhead
Nature mourns, dumb and dark
Beauty is dead
Scar on the primrose bank
Fades the last leaf;
Flower-hcads that early sank
Bowed as with grief:
Autnmns rich gifts Of bloom,
All, ali are fed
Winter brings shroud and tomb
Mary is dead.
Sweeter than summer-brd
Sang from her bough;
Music, the sweetest heard,
Silent is now;
Pale lies that cheek ofwoc
On its last bed
Winter--too well | know
Beauty IS dead.
Saw'st thou her face fair stream,
Yet canst flow on
Alb me how sweet a dream
From life hath gone
Earth may no trace reveal
OF her light tread
Winter-too well | feel
