HIsToRY REPEATING ITsELF.-Lord
Macaulay, in an essay on William Pitt
says of England
"The hdJoas corpus act was suspend
ed. Public meetings were put under
severe restraint. The government OBJ
tanned from Parliament power to send
out of the country aliens, who were
suspected of evil designs; and that
power was not suffered TO lie idle
Writers who propounded doctrines adj
verse to monarchy wcroproscribed and
punished without mercy. 1t was hard
" safe for republican to avow hispo-
litical creed over his beef steak at
chop-house. The old laws of Scotland
against scdition, laws which were con-
sidered by Englishmcn as barbarous,
and which succession ofgovernmcnts
had suffered to rust, were now fur
bished up and sharpencd anew. Men
Of cultivated minds and polished man
ners were, for offences which at West
minister would have been treated as
mere misdemcanors, sent to herd with
fclons at Botany Bay. This severity
was at the time loudly appiauded by
alarmists whom fear had made cruel,
but will be seen in q very different
light by posterity."

THERE COMES A TIME.

There comes time when we grow old,
And like n sunset down the sea
Hope gradual, and the night. wind cold,
Comes whispering sad and chillngly;
And locks are gray
As winters day,
And eyes Of saddest blue behold
The leaves all dreary drift away,
And lips Of coral seem 10 say,
There comes time when we grow old
There comes a time when Joyous hearts
Which lcaped ss leaps the laughing main,
Are dead to all save memory,
As prisoner In his dungeon chain:
And dawn Of day
Hath passed away,
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers wan and gray,
i hear voice in whisper say,
There comes time whom we grow old.
There comes a time whom manhoods primo
nhs Il sJha5cGaHEgye4 4ialbbe dRs'a aQarSGaI,'
Hath passed away In silent tears;
And then how dark
But oh the spark,
That kindled youth to hues Of gold.
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affection, lingering, say,
There comes time when we grow old
There comes time when laughing Spring
And golden Summer cease TO be,
And we put on the Autum's robe,
To tread the last declivity:
But now the slope,
With rosy hope,
Beyond the sunset we behold
Another dawn with faircr light,
While watchers whisper through the night,
There Is time when we grow old.

TUNNEL THROUGH THE ALPS

TUNNEL THROUGH THE ALPS.
Thegreatest single engineering work
ever undertaken is tho tunnel for a
railroad through Mont Gents. A re-
port on this subject has lately been
presented to the Lower House Of the
Italian Parliament by the Minister of
Public Works. This tunnel was be-
gan in 1857, and that year and the
two following were spent in prelimin-
airy operations, such as the construc-
ton of houses, workshops, &c. When
completed it will be nearly 8 miles in
length. Mr. Bartlett, an English en-
gineer, set in operation a steam boring
machine, soon after operations were
commenced, and about eight times the
quantity of work was done by it that
had been done by hand. But steam
could not be used for boring in the
interior of the tunuel, on account of a
want of air. The Italian engineers
then proposed to substitute compress
ed air instead of steam and their
method is now in full operation.
This tunnel, when completed, will
unite France with Italy, by rail, and
it is be a joint work between the Gov
ernments of the two countries, France
paying a large portion of the cost. 1t
is calculated that this tunnel will be
completed in twelve and half years
from the period of its commencement; I;
but with ordinary hand drilling it
would require twenty-five years la
Dor. The work proceeds now at the
rate OF 1000 feet per per annum.---
The use of compressed air to operate
the drilling machines, not only affords
the power for this purpose, but also
suppliesairfor respiration to theminers.
AT one end, 720 men are employed; at
the other, 900. Tho cost thus far has
been about s2 2,545, 400.

Original Misesllany.
Travelling Southward.


BY ways to me unknown,
travel like bird Of fight,
Onward, and and all alone"
The tedious monotony of river trav-
el at last awoke us from our vision of
landscapes and woodland and restored
us to a mundane sense of misery and
WEAKNESS. We were slowly vending
our way down the Mississippi, upon
beautiful steamer having hay barge
upon each side, and making about
five miles an hour; the prospect for
reaching New Orleans was about as
dim as the millennium. Reader, if
you ever intend taking a trip down
down that magnificent river make a
special contract before starting that
the steamboat shall not take more
than two barges in tow, or you will
die of old age before accomplishing
the trip. Taking no such percaution
the weight of tardy progress weighed
us down with "hope deferred. Night
came down upon us and added to our
despondency-we went out upon the
guard of the boat and leaning against
a stoncheon looked out upon the sky;
not star was visible; it was as black
as ink overhead. We went from de-
spondency to gloom, and began won
dering why on earth we had ever un-
dertaken such an aimless journey
But in the midst of our darkest fore
bodings, there comes upon the night
air a tuneful message like a whisper
from fairy-land, distant and almost in
audable. We streatch out into dark
ness and listen intently for the realiza-
ton of what seems almost dream
Plain and more distinct come the ever
joyous notes Of the frolicsome violin,
and yet there is nowhere any sign of
life. Away into the sea Of darkness
floating before ms like a twill o. the
wisp" as if luring us to destruction the
enchanting sound now distinct now
dying away, is always present but al
ways out of reach. Sullen and stead
lily we plow along through the dark
ness, till of sudden, crash-we leap
upon the rail and Grain out into the
black night to ascertain what has hap
ened. The pilot rings his bells, the
watch shouts, and voice of maledic-
ton comes from under our bows. The
violin suddenly ceases, lantern is ta-
ken to the bow, and we discover the
shattered remnants Of fat-boat
crushed against the bank, and three
or four individuals climbing over the
wreck to escape drowning, hoarse
voice belonging to the first one ashore
opens his stock of information to the
pilot, the captain, the watch, and the
passengers promiscuously. His eye
shines like a Drummond Light and
such an account as he gives Of the
birth, parentage and family connoc-
tons of that steamboat, crew and pas.
sengers was never heard save by a
fiat-boat-man. Such imprecations
were never uttered before. The oaths
flew from his mouth like sparks from
locomotive in a dark night. DR.
Stops remarks concerning the knots
in the string of the green bag Of sur.
gical instruments beside these Aat-boa,
oaths were tender pity. Such lima
tured, uncharitable, unamiable, men.
dacious, malignant, pitiless, ruthless,
cruel fell, ferocious, proscriptivc and
sang'inary oaths were never before

OCTOBER HARVEST SONG.

OCTOBER HARVEST SONG.
We gather them in--the mellow fruits,
From the shrub, the vine and tree,
With their russet, and golden and purple suits
To garnish our treasury.
And each has juicy treasure stored,
All beneath its painted rind,
To cheer our guests at the social board,
when We leave our cares behind
We gather them in--the goodly store
But not with a miser's gust;
For that great All Father We adore,
Hath but given II In trust
And our work Of death is but for life,
In the wintry days to come;
Then blessing upon the reaper's strife,
And n shout Mt his Harvest Home.
