SUBMARINE TUNNEL.

No friends nre 60 chick as those who
have .quarre,ed. Englad and France are
not .excentions to the rule. The existing
a a..auce, col.oHns an cnmiiy perpetual in
time past, has developed the disposition to
rralernize to an extraordinary degree. Even
the narrow strait which separates them, IS
found too wide, and steam vessels tee SLOW,
Nothing short Of a railway unler the sea,
can sufficiently facilitate the disposition
they have to rush into each Others
arms.
Engineers and hydrophcrs have been at
work. in sober earnest, at Dover and Calais,
maxim. estimates and plans. and have re-
ported iayorably. The project consists in
a tunnel OF about 80 kilometres IN length,
formed under the sea, and offering as much
security as a railway under the open sky
The tunnel will be pierced in a manner
so that the bed Of the earth which will dt-
vide it from the sea will never he l'ss than
twenty. five metres, even at the greatest
depth of the straits, and will be lined with
a double arch, the first TO be OF granite
and of impcrmeable cement, the second OF
thin iron plate, pierced in different places
in order to discover Immediately the least
filtration.
The difficulties which appear insurmoun-
table in work of this kind consists not
only in the tediuusness Of the operations
which, however, can be undertaken at both
ends at the same tme-but also in the
clearance of the debris, which would SEEM
inrlv have to be carried to lhe opening al
either side. III order To surmount these
OF, ,tacles, wells vi be constructed at dit
lcreut parts of the channel which will d.
vide the subterranesn works into sections
of tunnels of less than a myriametre II
! length. These maritime wells will faciill'
tate the formation oi the tunnel at many
different places at once. The works, there
| fore, can be carried on at the same tlmt
in the ssme gallery AT the coast of France
! in the gallery ut ihd coast OF England, ant
! in the galleries of the ""fiis." Besides
! they will afford the means OF casting III
Numbering earth into the sea, aud Q
forming little islands around there wells

OHIO, sboya the rask of Cap,nin, that have

appointment. it has been decided by the
Attorney General, are revoked by the ad-
option u that new instrument, aud the
Legislature has thus far neglected to pro-
vide new mode by which they may be
appointed. So our entire military osrani-

NOVEMBER THOUGHTS.
BY LILY MAY.

II is not that my heart is sad
With thoughts of dear ones far away;
My soul is not in ashes clad
This dark November day.
Within the CRATE the fire burns bright,
Shedding its warmth around the room,
w hich charms my spirit, like the light
OF summers verdant bloom.
| know the storm beats wild, without,
l hear the pattcring rain-drops fall;
And yet feel that could shout,
God ruleth over all.
I he fire that burns within my breast
Sheds such glow around my heart,
twill make my life too truly blest,
To let il e'er depart.
II! pray that nothing may destroy
The hope that makes my being bright,
And share with friends the earnestjo joy
That fills me with delight.
The glow of health is on my brow,
feel my pulses bounding free,
Joy triumphs o'cr the present now,
What shall tho future be.
A thrilling whisper, seems to come
From the dsep chambers Of my heart;
Where happiness is found at home,
Oh let it not depart.
IT'S this that makes the present bright,
Gives all Eorth's joys a pleasing .zest;
If guided by this trusting light,
The future shall be blest
Sweet Anna, sister of my soul,
Thy joys like mine are fondly blcnt
Fen with tide that brooks control,
Whose force MAY not be spent
May each in safety, down that tide,
Be guided by some gentle hand;
Till o'er life's waves we'll softly glide
On towards the better land.
Such thoughts have illd my earnest soul
With such deep and holy trust,
tremblc, when think the whole
May crumble into dust
But let US feed the burning flame
Fen from the fount that gave it birth,
So that Eternity may claim
The truest light OF Earth
Though chilly grows the air without
We feel a pleasant glow within;
Thus life is compass d all about
With tempting deeds of SIN.
Though now the sky is dark. and drear,
And steady falls the chilling rain,
We know full well, when all is clear
The sun will shine again.
Thus may the glow within each breast
Shed such light around our way
Well ne e'or have cause to feel distrest,
Fen ofa rainy day.

fearful SigM 1t is too often the desth-war-

fatal, yet beyond his comprehension. What
should a child three years old--nay, five or
six years old-be taught! Strong meats for

Let there be nursery tales and nursery
rhymes would say 10 every parent,
especially every mother, sing to your children;
tell them pleasant stories; if in the country
be not to careful lest they get little dirt uo-
on their hands and clothes; earth is very
much akin to US all. and in childr6n's out-Dt-
door plays, soils lhem NOT inwardy. There
is in it kind of consanguinily between all
creaturcS; by it we touch upon the common
sympathy of our first substance, and beget
kindness for our poor relations, the brutes.-
Let childlen have free, open air sport, and
fear not though they make acquaintance with
the pigs, the donkeys, und the chickens; they
may form worse friendships with wiser look
ing ones. Encourage fanill ,rity with all
that love them; dumb animas love children,
and children love them. There is a langu-
age among them which the worlds language
obliierates in the elders. Itis Of more mpor-
lance that you should make your children low
iirr than that you should make them wise.-
Above all things, make them loving; and
