The Death of Love.

Much OF the quarrels and hatred which
arise between married people comes in
my mind, from the husbands rage and
revolt at discovering that his slave and
bedfrllow, who is to MINISTER to all his
wishes and is church-sworn to honor and
obey him, is his superior; and that he,
and not she, ought to be the subordinate
Of the twain. How many men and wives
come to this knowledge, think you
And fit be painful to woman to find
herself mated for life to a boor, and or.
dered to love and honor dullard, il is
worse still for the man himself, perhaps,
whenever in his dim comprehension the
idea dawns that his slave and drudge
yonder is in truth his superior; and the
woman who does his bidding and sub
mits TO his humour should be his lord;
that she can think thousand things be-
yond his muddled brains, and that in
yonder head, on the pillow beside him,
lie a thousand feelings, mysteries of
thought; latent scorns and rebellions,
whereof he only dimly perceives the
existence as they look out furtively from
her eyes-treaSures of love doomed to
perish without hand to gather them,
sweet fancies and images of beauty that
would grow and unfold themselves into
flow, bright wit that would shine like
diamonds, could it be brought into the
sun; and the tyrant in possession brush.
es the outbreak of all these, drives them
back like slaves into the dungeon and
darkness, and chafes without that his
prisoner isrebellous and his sworn sub
ject undutilul and refractory.

To Tom Rick ettS-An In FAINT.
Young wanderer on the stormy sea of time,
Its rocks and shoals unknowng,
Voyaging swiftly to some far OIL cline,
o whittier art thou going?
Thy young lips may not lisp the tender name
OF father Or of mother,
OfsIster Or OF brother;
The April wind that from It's unseen wings
Sheds flowers, aud hIough the dim old forest
sings
A soit wild tune, would shake thy tender frame.
Thou ART a stranger 10 Times troublous shore,
lis birds, It's sunshine aud the ceaseless roar
OF men along the dizzy walks OF trade;
These and the war Of words have never made
Thy litlle bosom sick with secret sorrow;
| The morning splendor and the nooItidc hour
| Thou knoweSt not, nor the sweet visllalonS
o. Spring or Autumn, nor the mighty power
OF Arts divine creations;
Thou hast no fl iendships to be torn away,
Thou hast no vain regrets of yesterday,
NO terror oi tomorrow.
Thy little eye
May compass not the blue all-splendid sky,
Nor the green circuit OF the Summer hills
With the fresh glory of their flashing rills;
Thou cansl not twine thy dmpled arm around
Her neck and say, "my mother DEAR"
Thou cansl not listen to the dreamy sound
OF waters through the dells in cleaning bound;
Thou hast no wonder of the golden Sun,
Or the inconslant Moon;
None of the rolling Year.
But iflhe Almighty Power that rules the storm,
Shall fling around thy steps It's tender care,
And up from accident and early death,
Thy little footsteps bear,
Thy growing steps shall know
The leaves, the birds and snow;
Flowers and the human voice
Bid thy eye flash and thy young heart rejoice,
And thou Shalt know the pride and power Of
Time,
Walking the earth in manhood's glorious prime.
And thou shalt feel the sadness,
And somewhat Of the glatness
That shade and silver the great Sea of Time;
And thou shalt know its fears,
And sometimes thy hot tears
Shall sink like rain into the Sea oil Time;
Loud storms and heavens dark,
Shall gather DER thy bark,
Yet He will be thy guide
While thou dost bravely ride
Far-driilng DER the solemn Sea of Time;
A nd thou shalt bless thy God for His sweet Joy,
That ills thy heart with heaven, thou gentle boy
If, in the coming day, thy youthful eye
Shall meet The song now dedicate TO thee,
Where shall this idle hand low mouldering lie,
And where the SPIRITS distant dwelling bei
Col keep thee in the tempest, gentle boy,
And lead thee up 10 HIS eternal joy II.

TuNNELLING OF THE ALLEGHASY

TUNNELLING OF THE ALLEGHANY
MouNTATN.-One OF the Tunnels on the
Pennsylvania Railroad now construct
ing, is to be $3.50 feet in length. Its
area, at the widest space within the lines
of the masonry will be about "a feet, and
the spring OF the arch will begin l6 #.
from the crown of the arch. The arch
itself of the tunnel will be rather Of an
oval form, one of the most beautiful
curvatures which Comic Section can af-
ford. The greater part of the vast arch
ed excavation will be inlaid with strong
and substantial masonry. More than
half of this masonry will be composed of
sandstone we'll la,d in hydraulic cement;
and the remainder will be hard burnt
brick. This whole masonry will be %
inches thick. The Tunnel passes the
Allegheny Mountain in Sugar Run Gap,
and lies partly in Blair and partly IN
Cambria county. Taking into account
the length of the Tunnel and its inte-
rior breadth, and the quantity and solid
ity of its masonry, it may be regarded as
the largest work of the kind in the Uni
ted States. About 400 hands are en-
ployed upon it.

AN OPEN POLAR SEA 1t has pre-
viously been announced, that Dr.. Kane,
who is now a Lieutenant in the United
States Navy, has been ass gned the COM
mand ofthe Advance, one of the vessels
of the expedition which through the lib
erality of Mr.. Henry Grinnell, of New
York, and Mr.. Peabody, of London, is
to be shortly despatched in search OF Sir
John Franklin. DR.. X, IN lecture de-
livered by him, before Geographical So
ciety ofNew York, advocated the theory
of an open Polar Sea, and cited as facts
to sustain the theory, among other things,
that the estuaries of Batfin's and Hud-
sons Bays, and Bhering's Strait, indi-
cate the existance ofa Polar Basin, hav-
ing an active supply and discharge, as
well as an internal circulatioh; the in
accommodation Of whales between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as shown
by Maury; the increase of warmth in
many places in very high ATTITUDES; the
migration Of animals, and the flight of
birds of passage, some of which in ncubate
in regions of unknown northness: the
phenomena of the Polar drift. which
indicates that the thaw commences on
the northern and not on the southern
side. His plan of search is based upon
the probable extension Of the land mas
ses of Greenland to the far north; view
yet to be demonstrated by actual explor-
alton, but sustained by the analogies of
physical geography. Believing in such
an extension, in endeavoring TO reach
the open sea around the North Pole, in
which Sir John Franklin and his party,
if existing at all, are supposed to be, he
proposes to reach by vessels to the high
est attainable point of Bafin's Bay, as the
most eligible site for reaching the North
Pole. From thence he will push over
land with party thirty men, provid-
ed with sledges, Esquimaux dogs, a
couple of launches or boats, supply of
dried meat, packed IN cases, and follow
ing the tread of the coast, endeavor to
reach the open water. "Once there"
exclaims the lecturer, with noble ardor,
"we launch our little boats, and bidding
God-spsed us, embark upon its waters" /"

SHANGHAI FowLs.-A correspondent,
in an article on these fowls, which,
whether so intended or not, shows up
the chicken teuer ludicrously, gives the
following data:
"The product of hen and rooster
owned by Theodore Clayton of Pivot
Bridge, Cecil county, flom lst April to
31st August 1852, was 81 chickens rails.
ed and 81 eggs sold. Since then the
hen has laid nearly every day; or in 9th.
er words, she lays about IS or 16 eggs
at lltter-then wants TO set, but being
prevented, begins to lay again in two or
three days, and SO on till the present
writing.
This rate would give more than eigh.
ty fowls in five months; but for the sake
of good margin we will put the pro.
duct of pair of Shanghais at 40 pair
per annum, and dating their importation
in the early part of 1917, we have: in
1S47 forty pairs; in 1s4S 1000 pairs; in
1s49, $4,000; in 1850, 2,56O,OO0; in
1851, l02,400, 900; in 1852, 4,096, ,OOO,.
600. And now, allowing every pair to
eat pint ofcorn per day, the last sum
being divided by the number of pints in
a bushel. gives ga millions of bushels as
the corn they would require per day; or,
twenty three thousand three hundred
and sixty millions bushels per annum.
The value of the birds, at the rate
Master Clayton sold his to Mr.. J. Ca.
zier-$4,50 per pair-would at the pres
ent be $2S, ,432,0 100000. This estimate
is perhaps too low as it is said, Shang.
hais have sold at Boston for $50 per pair.
Thus it will be seen there is no hum-
bug in this Shanghai fowl business; par
ticularIy when it is seen that they con-
snme 23,360,0O0,000 bushels of corn
annually; thirteen hundred times as
much as all the wheat we exported to
England in 1850, which was 100000
bushels And what these fowls will do
for the country in the future cannot ev.
er be guessed at. Doubtless you think
they present glorious chance to the
tarmers-far better than the tariff of
1916, and so do |.

The Students Dream.
BY JIM.

BY JIM.
The student bent in HI. study dim
O'er the pages Of ancient lore,
But vision passed thro' his soul within,
OF the days and home Of yore;
And smile Of Joy his face came o'er,
As he dreamed ofthe days and home OF yofe.
The students heart was Gay and bright
AS he dreamed of future fame,
And the gentle wind, in the calm starlight,
Soft whispered his mothers name;
In his inmost heart it kinded fame,
AS il brcathed in his ear his mothers name.
The student passed from his study drcar,
And gazed on the slar-lit sky;
The spirit voices filing the air,
Said "Hope! Thou shalt never die"
And his hoping soul fed far on high.
When he heard the words Thou shalt never die
Thestudent. when time had wrinkled his brow,
Dreamed again Of earlier years,
But the dream was chan ged to the living Now
And the home that love endcars;
And the students soul undimmed by fears
Blessed Him for the home that love endeurs.
