relative to the time of payment of install
mcnts on the subscription stock. In our last
we announced that the entire stock Of this
company had been taken up, and that the
WORK OF construction was Immediately TO COM
mencc. We are now authorized by the trus-
tees to say that the whole line from Troy to
burlington will probably be completed and
put in operation by the lst Of Dee next. In
running the line of this work, however, the
trustees have made very material, and to
us unexpected, deviation from the route first
contemplated. Instead fcontinuing the line
north from this place directly to MiddIebury
Uiu Braqd0a, it has becA determined to make
a enlargement here and run the line via
Cnsteton to Whitehall, and from there, via
Orwell to MlddIebury, establishing stations
at all the points on the route last named.
This course was taken by the managers, as
We undcrstood in consequence ofthe refusal
On the part Of the citizens OF Brandon to take
the amount Of stock allotted to them. We
may here be allowed to express our regret
that Brandon should have held out in this
matter, and yet we cannot but believe that

By the change OF routo.-RaH,aRd Heratd.

As the lone orphan children, round him steals
Robbd of mother, and a sisters love,
By thee stern death-commissoned from above.

The mother;-a treasure too, endear'd to all;
Then hoped tho father, that lie oft might trace
The mothers picture from the daughters face
And songs he'd lov'd;-t keep from being lost
He'd hoped to hear again, from her dear voice;
Yet deatl-thoust hid her too forever from us
And mock'd, that parents other hopes of promise
No more again. their voices sweetest strains will raise
With those earth who sing the songs of praise =
One whom that mother loved, and trusted here
Hath cald her away, to holicr sphere,
To sing responsive to Archaugels strains
Such notes as flow 'er the celestial plains:
Her child we trust hath oind her in her fearless fight
Amid the bright worlds of beauty and of light,
And mid such joy how little there they know
OF breaking hearts, still fettcred here below;
Then weep no more for those whove gain'd the shore
OF endless rest-and all earth'S sorrows DER.
