Dear Ss:-

Dear Sa;-
 dla not til yesterday receive yours of tue 18th of February; whsre fl has Ioitered on the road am at "a loss 10 say. l had before read of your very ingenoes propositions as to the railway eem- municat:on. I fear however. on mature fefieu- ton. that they will be liable to serious objection. and ultimately more expensive than canal They mus: be doahle, so as b prevent the danger Of tSo such heavy bodies meeting. The walls on which they are placed must be at least four feet below the surface. and shrae above, ana mast be clamlei with sroa, aud esea then would hardly sustain so heavy weight as you propose moving al he rate of four miles an hour on wheels As 10 wood, II would not last a week. They usaat Dc covered with iron, and that too verY thick and strong. The means of stopping these heavy carri- ages, without graa sAsek. and of preventing them from running upon each other-f4r there would be many running on the road at oEce-waaia ae very dliheaft. In case of accidents siOps or the ne. eeSsarY stops b take wood aud water. etc, many accidents would happen. The carriage tcg con dsasiHg water woad 5e veFy troublesome Upon the whole. fexf tse expense would he much greater than thai af canals. wthoat being 90 con veaisQt. R. R. LIVINGSTONE
 The reader of the present day, who sees wAst q railroad $, aaa what II aecomplishes. may readily laugh at the above suggestions Yet every disco- very of the present day is met with objections equally as shsurdi not that men ought to receive everything new se PraeticaJie and good. bat they ought not to oppose thing without proper exanli natloa, and. because it s aew, eeaceiye it to be hambag. Careful and patient examination is ne- cessaFy ia both eases. and. where such an esarai- matina is made for he purpose of discovering the truth alone. the properly informed man is seldom mastsken n hls caaelusaoas- tRysstixasian essa- eiishes trntA and expasss errors--PkL Leaixer.

SONGS OF LIFE.
BY CHARLES M4cKAy.

Atrsveier through dusty road
Strewsd scoyns on the lea,
And one took. root, and sproutsd up,
And grew iAt6 tree.
Love sought NJ shade al evening time,
r. breathe its early VOWS,
And Age was pleased, in heats Of noon,
To bssk beneath its b0ughs
The dcrncuss loved its dangling twigs,
The birde Rweet music bore,
II stood glory in is plsce,
A blessing ssermore!
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern,
A passing stranger scooped well,
Who're weary men might turn;
He walled II in, and hung with cars
A lsdle ut the brink
He thought not ofthc deed he did,
But judged that tell might drink.
He passed again-snd 10! the well,
BY summers never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues,
Aud saved life beside!
A dreamer dropped random thought;
twas old, aud yet was new
a simple fancy ofthe brain,
Dat strong in being truej
II ehone upon genial mind,
And 10! lts light became
A lamp Of life, . beacon ray,
A monitory Game.
The thought was smsll-its issue greati
A wstchAre on the hill,
u she'd ito radiance far adown,
And chssrs the valley still
A nameless man, amid q crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word Of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown
A transitory breath
II raised = brother from the dust,
II saved Q soul from death.
Oh germ! oh fount! oh world Of love!
Oh thought At random castl
Ye we're but little at the frst,
But mighty At the last!
