English and American rivers
compared

I'm The memoranda Of DR.. Brcckenridgc's
travels in Europe, some ten years ago, the
following anecdote occurs:
"a gcntlcman-likc and wcll-informcd
Englishman, who was in the stage coach
with me, and who found out was an A.
merican, after dilating on the greatness, the
beauties, the majesty, in short, Of this no.
blest of British rivers (the Thames,) conclu-
ded thus:
"Sir, it may seem almost incredible, but
it j. nevertheless true, that this prodIgious
stream is, from its mouth to its source, not
much, if at all, short Of one hundred and ilt-
ty miles long,
IL looked stcadiastly in his face to see if
he jestcd; but the gravity Of deep convic-
ton was upon it. Indeed John Bull never
jests. After composing myself a moment,
| slowly responded
perhaps, sir you have heard ofthc Ohio
river!"
Il think have
"Perhaps of the Missouri
81 think so; ough not sure"
"Certainly of the Mississippi
"Oh yes, yes.
"Well, sir, a man will descend the Ohio
in steamboat of the largest class thou
sand miles,"
"Of what, sir, how many, sir!'
"a thosand miles; and there he will meet
another steamboat Of the same class, which
has come in an opposite direction twelve
hundred miles dow N the Missouri and then
after going fifteen hundred miles more
downt the Mississippi, he may see that flood
of waters disenbogue by fifty channels in
to the sea-"
Il had made up my mind to be consider
ed cheat; SO went calmly and emphat-
ically through the statement. As pro.
grcssed, my companion seemed somewha,
disposed TO take my story as apersonal al
front; bu, at its close. he let down his "
sage into contemptuous Pou', and regu-
larly cur my acquaintance.

A Sixpcncc Wen Invested.

The other day we saw bright eyed III
tie girl tripping along the street with
basket on her arm, apparently sent on some
GRAND.
All at once she stopped and commenced
searching for something she had lost amid
the snow and ice.
Ii was evident that ii was something OF
value, and that she was in troubled
Her search was eager and nervous; tho
bright smile had vanished from her face,
tears were rolling down her checks.
A gentleman passing at that moment
noticed the trouble ofth liule crcaturc,and
asked her what was the matter.
'Oh Sir, said she, her little bosom swell
ling aud tears falling fast, oh sir, Pvo
lost my sixponcc!
The gentleman took piece Of money
from his pocket, aud called her to him say
ing. Here, sis don't cry for tho lost s,S-
pence here is another, and placed 1t in htr
hand.
'Oh, dear sir said she, us she bounded
forward, how think you.
Her grief was removed; tho bright smile
was restored; the fear Of mothers irown
for her carcssucss was gone, md her little
heart beat highly again
Think you thm nnn US he remembers
thar pretty face, beaming with gratitude
and JOY will ever regret that well invested
sixpencel
A whole world Of happiness bought for
sixpcuco! How easy ii is 10 shed sum
shine on the hearts of those about us

TPROPRIETORS.
Arithr,,ctic of War.

1t Is very diiicult To credit, or adequate
" conceive, even the well-attcsted statis-
ties ofwar. When such philosopher as
Dick, or such n statesman as Burke, brings
before us his estimate o.thc havoc which
this custom has made Of human life in all
pas, time, it seems utterly incredible, al
most inconccivabe;. and still more are we
staggered by the formidable array Of f.
cures employed to denote the sum total Of
money squandcrcd on human buiohcry.
Baron Won Reden, perhaps the ablcst
statistcan Of the age. tells us in recent
work of his, that the Continent of Europe
alone, now has full four millions Of mcu
under arms, more than half its population
between the ages of twenty and thirty;
and that the support ofthesc Immense rrc-
para,ons for war, togctlier With the inter
est and cost Of collection and disbursement
on the aggregate oiits war-dchts, amounts
to more than one thousand millions Of dol
lars year. Let any man try to form an
adequate conception of what is meant by
either of these sums,and he viii givcup the
,ffort in despair.
The Baron estimates the war-drb,s NOW
resting on the States Of Europe, 1T S7,llS,-
100000. How shall we realize what this
enormous sum means Shall we count
At the rate Of sixty dollars d minnie, ten
hours every day, for three Hundred days
in wear, il would take moro than 500
years barely 10 count the present war-dcb,
Of Europe alone.
Let US look for moment at what Eng
land wasted for war, from the Revolution
IN loss, to the downfall of Napoleon in
1915. The sum total besides all that she
spent upon her war system in the intervals
OF peace, was $40, 600, 900; and if we
add the interest On her war-dcbts contrac-
ted in that period, the grand total will
reach nearly $4,000, ,ooooool At sixty
dollars minute for ten hour IL day, or
$50, 900 day, and 800 days in a year, 1t
would require more than l,574 years to
coun, i, all Add an average Of $4,000,
600 year for the current expense OF her
war establishment since 1915, an aggrc-
gate Of 81, ,S00,0 100000, in these thir'y-fivc
years, and we have II sum total OF nearly
taccnty Mousand mHioas No wonder
that the Old World is reeling and staggor-
ing under the burdenof such enormous cx-
pcnditures for war purposes.
Twenty thousand millions OF dollars
Ii is nearly thirty times as much as all the
coin now supposed TO bein the world; and
If these 100000, 100000 were all in silver
dollars, and placed in rows, they would
belt the globe more than 100 times.

POETRY.
Religion.
Br WILLIAM LEecETT.

Like snow that falls where waters glide,
Earth's pleasures fade away;
Then melt in Times destroying tide,
And cold are while they stay,
But Joys that from religion flow,
Like -taFa that gid the night
Amidst the darkest gloom ofwoc.
Smiles forth with sweetest light.
Religions ray no clouds obscure,
But DER the Christians soul
IL sends lis radiencc calm and pure,
Though tempesis round it roll;
Iii. heart may break with sorrows stroke,
But to it, latest drill,
Like diamond's shining when there broke.
Religion lights it still.
