The Suez Canal.

A commission of distinguished Euro
pean Swans, appointed TO examine the
various routes between the Red Sea and
the Mediterranean, in connection with the
projected Suez Canal, have recently made
report, from which we gather some in
teresting information. The width of the
Isthmus is seventy miles, and Suez and
Potassium stand at the nearest points,
After weighing every question submitted
in favor of the different routes, the com
mission recommend the most direct one,
the entire line of which TO be executed,
measures but ninety-two miles, and will
not require a single lock, being free
channel or canal, to communicate direct
ly with both seas. Such a channel, open
and free at all times, and capable of ad-
hitting ships of the largest class, would
be strong inducement for all vessels
trading between the Indian and European
seas TO take this route, which would be
saving in distance over that around the
Cape Of Good Hope of eight thousand
miles. The proposed depth of the canal
is twenty-six feet, which the commission
ers think will suffice for vessels of three
thousand tons, which are to be propelled
by towing chains at the rate of six miles
per hour. The roadsteads both of Suez
and Potassium are well adapted for the
entrance and exit of vessels, having suf-
ficient depth of water, with good anchor
age. The confguration of both approach
es does not appear to have changed for
many centuries. The estimated cost of
the work is 86,4eO, 1000, while the ex-
pense of maintaining the canal is COM
puted at 100000 annually. The com
missioners believe that sufficient tolls
would be taken TO render the enterprise
A Paris letter OF 'Ocr. zori s,tysa.'';'al
"The great canal project of NJ. de
Lesseps across the Isthmus of Suez has
at length assumed a tangible existence
the announcement for the opening of the
books has been officially made in the
journals. The capital stock is forty mil
lions of dollars, divided into 100000
shares of one hundred dollars each. The
stock will be rapidly taken.
AT banquet given him at Marseil-
les, M. de Lesseps announced that the
work of cutting the Suez Canal would be
commenced in three months"

what studies are to be pursued during

of such a course, there can be, l think,
but one opinion. There may arise some
little difficulties in arranging the classes,
at first, although we found at the close of
the term, that, with those there present,
there would be much less inconvenience
than we had anticipated.

FRIEND BARNS II wish little space
in the columns of the Meas, wherein to
say few words to the patrons of our
public school. l have much to say in
praise of the good conduct, and pleasing
manners Of nearly all the scholars which
have been under my care; and were a
newspaper article the place to speak of
their good qualities, and tender them my
thanks for their many kindneoses, could
complete this communication in express
this object that | write at this time. I
write for you, parents; you who ought TO
aid your children and their teachers by
words and acts. have not the words Of
praise or thanks for you that l have for
your children. In the manner in which
you can aidus more than in any other in
which you can become acquainted with
our arrangements, and method of opera
tons, in which you can encourage us and
suggest improvements, you have aided
us not at all. You have delegated a man
Of your number TO hire teachers. lie has
done so. You have sent your children to
the school-room, each day, (some of YOU
for eleven weeks, and only two of you
have been in, during that time, to see in
what manner they were being cared
for, or how the wants Of their men
tai and moral natures were being supplied.
What father of you would hire stran-
ger TO take care of, and provide for, a ia
vorite horse, for that length of time, with
out seeing it! l viii venture the answer
moi one. Parents, how is this are the
immortal minds of your children of no
consequence! Is not their culture and
education of as much importance, and do
they not deserve as much attention, as
the iatter and show, and glitter and gold,
Of this little life! Did you never think
that in each one of them is a soul rs death
less as their Maker, that will live on,
and on, through eternity; and that the
great responsibility of putting the stamp
of eternal condition upon them is placed
in your hands, and you can no more drop
1t than you can cease to exist9 Their
first thoughts, and the development of
their first ideas, form the basis of their
characters, and should be watched and
nOurished with more than parental care.
am certain if you were TO think upon
these things in their true light, You would
withdraw your thoughts from the cares Of
this busy life, for season, each day, and
devote them to the care and prosperity Of
these, your children. The matter Of pune
tuaKty and constant attendance, also
needs your consideration. No amount Of
stress that can be laid upon the impor-
lance Of these matters can be called un-
due. A child is much better oil at home,

MY Name.
BY rLoRRNcE PERCY.

iftcr you haze taken yoar ne,o name among the
Angels"
In the land whore am going
When my earthly life is Ger,
When the tired hands cease striving
And the tried hearts aches no more
In that land Of light and beauty
Where no shadow ever came
To o'ercloud the perfect glory,
What shall be my angel name?
When the spirits who await me,
Meet me at my ent'ring in,
With what name Of love and music
win their welcoming begin?
Not the one so dimmed with earth stains,
Linked with thoughts of griefand blame !;
No, the name which mortals give me
win not be my angel name
have heard it all too often
Uttered by unloving lips;
Earthly cares and sins and sorrows
Dim it with their dark eclipse.
I shall change it like garment
When leave this mortal frame,
And at Life's immortal baptism,
shall have another name
For the angels will not call mo
By the name bore on earth;
They win speak holier language
Where / have my holicr birth,
Syllabled in heavenly music,
sweeter far than earth may claim,
Very gentle, pure, and tender;
Such will be my angel name.
1t has thrilled my spirit often
In the hottest Of my dreams,
But its beauty fingers with me
Only till the morning beams.
Weary Of the jarring diseord
Which the lips ofmortals frame,
When shall I, with joy and rapture,
Answer to my angel name?
