The old Roman aqueducts for supplying

when compared with the greatest of modern
works OF this kind, dwarf them into insignif-
cance. Rome had one aqueduct - Aqua
Appia-ten miles long, all under ground An
other-Anio Vetus-forty-thre miles, and
nearly all underground also; another-Aqua
Marcia-6fty miles long, and the Anio Nevus
ifty.Dine miles long, with arches 100 feet high.
There were also four other aqueducts, amount
ing to nine altogether, for supplying Rome
with water by gravitation, for there we're DO
steam engines in those days to pump it up
from the adjacent river Tiber for city use, as
is now done at Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleve-
land and others of our cities.
The noblest work of modern engineering for
supplying any city with water is, undoubtedly
the Croton Water Works of New York Its
artificial tunnel is carried over valleys, through
hills, and over rivers, distance Of over forty
miles. The work is stupendous, TO be sure, for

NEXT TO "a woman with a grievance a wo-
man with lawsuit is perpetual bore TO her
friends and acquaintance or, rather, to her
acquaintance alone. for she never has anv
friends. One Miss Fag, of London, is such
person; some years ago she brought an action
against certain nobleman in whose family
she had lived in some capacity; the ground of
the action being her unlawful dismissal from
his service. The Court decided that she had
no cause for action, and the matter was set
tied by her attorney. She then brought an
action against her attorney for improperly
settling the case; in this action she failed, and
thereupon commenced suit against her last
lawyer for mismanagiug that case; when half
through with this trial. her counsel threw up
his brief, satisfied that the suit was groundless
then came an application for new trial, which
was decided adversely By the present Chief
Justice Blackburn for this decision she had
the efrontery to bring an action against the
Justice himself The Lord Chief Justice Of
course decided against her. She has appealed
however, and is still at large.

Life in the Stream.

{ Upon a rough old wooden bridge leant,
That spanned deep and smoothly flowing stream
The slender minnow swiftly came and went.
Turning to silver in the suns bright beam.
Close by the bank within the alder's shade,
Above the brambles. trailing in the stream,
The king fisher his dazzling fight bad made,
With flashing plumes; a stolen rainbows gleam.
The dragOn-hy, with thin micaceous wings,
lowered and fitted in the heated air,
Over the water, dimped in small rings,
By the light touch of insects sporting there.
Music of murmurs from the winged throng-
The soft faint rustling Of the soothing breeze
The quiet happiness of natures song,
Filled my soul full of pleasing harmonies.
The waterhen with outstretched neck appears.
From bank to bank, with warning croak, she
glides,
Where flags and rushes wave their thousand spears.
Or dives beneath the surface, where she hides,
Until, beneath the willows pale gray shade,
She. unobserved. bursts from her seeming grave,
In some dark hole the waterwash has made
And quite secure, moves with the mimic wave,
As swift as thought before musing mind
Will come, and pause, then frightened, fit away,
Scared by some daily noise, borne on the wind.
OF distant voices, loud in work or play.
The grim, rough waterrat upon the shore
Wears broad groove in the soft yielding mud
Forms in the earth his winding corridor,
A safe retreat when gorged with rind or bud:
There, in the deepest silence, he wthdraws;
No more is heard the chipping sound of teeth,
As when he nibbled, with his rapid jaws,
The juicy bark that forms the reeds young
sheath.
The joyous bird that warbles in the sedge-
The pallid moth that falls from willow leaves
The flowers growing by the waters edge
The spider, who his net with cunning weayes-
Have each separate beauty and place;
And to the mind reflective, they recall
The almighty power and the boundless grace
God scatters through this fair world for us all.

1t ia highly probable, therefore, that he will
not only accept the proposition Of Mr.. Seward,
but ask the other crowned heads Of Europe to
unite with him in supporting it. II any or all Of
them refuse, he will nevertheless go forward
himself, and place them in a false position He
will say to Mr. Seward: ~ agree to your plan,
and will lay il before the Southern con-
fedsracy.n OF course the Secretary Of State
and the President, by whose authority the pro-
position was made, must agree-they are bound
by their own offer, which they made in good
faith. II the Confederate government also agree,
then an armisticc will OF course follow, and. the
representatives from the Southern States taking
their places in Congress, there will be an
amnesty and Oblivion Of the past, and,
after calm elaboration, guarantees for
the future can be adopted and inserted in

return of the Southern representatives to their
seats can have no legal efficacy. II is not
competent to members Of Congress from one
section Of the country to disfranchise another
section, and keep the seats of it's representatives
vacant, or fill them with bogus members not
elected according to law. Congress cannot
change the constitution. Nor will the Executive
give any aid in carrying out so revolutionary

moreover, will fall 10 the ground, Is 20 much
waste paper, and the confscation acts will share
tho same fate. The judicisry-one Of the three

that to which Is specially assigned the duty Of
sxpounding the constitution-will pronounce
all such laws null and void. The Emperor Of
France on his part, will insist on the fulflment
Of the treaty by which Louisiana was sold to
our government. One Of the conditions was.
that the municipal rights Of the French citizens

preserved. Among those rights was that Of

right If they think proper; but II i not law
