the following beautiful example Of dis.

morning work in rope walk upon our
island. Breakfast time came, and as
was her wont, his faithful wife left her
home to convey her husbands breakfast
to him. The snow had been falling for
some time, but she needed it not, and
started to cross some open lots in the
outskirts Of our own town. The wind
blew violently. and binding snow dis.
turbed her so that she lost her path, and
when found, some time after, she was
leaning against rail fence snOthered,

Years passed, and the children grew to

island. leaving some young children

Then the widow toiled to support him,
till he saw that she was wasting away,

our town, and while tears flowed freely,
even down the cheek of manhood, at the

The latest and most magnificent
scientific project says the Banner which
has been promulgated to the world. is
that Of company Of English and
French Engineers, who propose to build
. railroad under the ocean to connect
England and Amsrics,-to consist of an
iron cylindrical tube, along which the
pipes shall be laid on the bed of the sea
with pyramids to be built TO the surface
for the admission of light and air. The
cost is put down st one hundred and
seventy millions Of dollars; which would
be nothing if the Accomplishment could
be made. We are disposed to laugh
ct the project, but it is hardly safe
to laugh a, anything in this 60
ahead age of ours.
