In the course Of our miscellaneous reading
we came across the following good story
which illustrates tho value OF u bit OF prac
tical information, when applied al the right
tune
In the Piazza before 81. Peters, at Rome
stands tho most beautiful 0bclisk In the
world. II was brought from tho circus oI
Nero, where II had lain buried for many
ages. l, was one entire piece oi Egyptian
marble, - feet high, IL feet square at the
base, aud 4 feet square at the top, and ID
computed TO weigh above 4T0 tons, and i
Is supposed 10 bc 5000 years old. Mucl,
engineering skill was required to remove aud
erect this piece Of art; and the celebrated
architect, Dominica Fontanc, was selected
and engaged by Pope Sextus v To carry
out the operation. A pedestal, 30 feet high
was built TOR its reception, and tho obelisk
brought 10 It's base. Many were the inge-
nious contrivances prepared for the raising
Of II 10 its last resting place, all OF which
excited the deepest interest among the pco'
pie. At length everything was In readiness
and day appointed for the great event. A
great multitude assembled TO witness The
ceremony; and the Pope, afraid that the
clamor Of tho people might distract the attcn
ton OF tho architect, issued m eslict con-
tanning regulations 10 bo kept, and imposing
tho scverest penalties on any one who should
during the lilting Of the gigantic stone, utter
q single word.
Amid suppressed excitement Of feelings
and brcathlcx silence, the splendid monu'
,nent was gradually raised 10 within few
inches Of the top Of the pedestal, when its
upward motion ceased II hung suspended
and could not be got further tho tackle
was too slack, and there seemed 10 be DO

THE WINDS OF MARCH.
BY PIrz-0RRgSE HALLEcK.

The winds Of March are humming
Their parting song, their parting song,
And summer skies arc coming,
And days grow long, and days grow long

Our garden tree, our garden tree;
II buds, In sober sadness,
Too soon for me, too soon for me.
Ny second winters over,
Alas! and l, alas and l
Have no accepted lover;
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why.
'Tis not asleep or idle
That love has been, that love has been;
For many happy bridal
Tho year has seen, the year has seen;
I've done Q bridesmaids duty,
At three or four, at three or four;
My best boquet had beauty,
It's donor more, its donor more.
Ny second winters over,
Alas! and I, alas and
Hsye no accepted lever:
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why.
His flowers my bosom shaded
One sunny day, one sunny day;
The next, they fed and faded,
Beau and boquet, beau and boquet.
In vain. at balls and parties,
We chfoWu my het, Vo HuVWu ny NV
This waltzing, watching heart is
Unchosen yet, unchosen yet.
Ny second winters over,
Alas and !, alas and
Have no accepted lover:
Don't ask me why, don't ask me whf.
They tell me there's no hurry
For Hymen's ring, for Hymen's ring;
And I'm too young TO marry;
'Tis no such thing, lis no such thing.
The next spring tides will dash on
Il puts me in passion,
Oh dear, oh dear oh dear, oh dear!
Ny second winters over,
Alas! and |, alas! and
Have no accepted lover:
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why.
