Tunnel Through the Alps
The greatest single engineering wor

The greatest single engineering work
ever undertaken, is the tunnel for a
railroad through Mount Gents. A res
port on this subject has lately been pre-,
sented to the Lower House Of the Ital.i
ian Parliament by the Minister of Pub
lie Works. This tunnel was begun in
1857, and that year and the two follow
ing were spent in preliminary opera
tons, such as the construction of hous--
es, workshops, Sc When completed
it will be nearly eight miles in length.
Mr.. Bartlett, an English engineer, ? set;
in operation a steam boring machine,
soon after operations were commenced,
and about eight times the amount of
work was done by it that had been done
by hand. But steam could not be used
in the interior of the tunnel, on account
of want of air. The Italian engin--
GERS then proposed to substitute COM
pressed air instead Of steam; and their
method is poW in full operation. soi.
This tunnel, when completed, will
unite France with Italy, by rail, and it
is to be joint work between the Gov
ernments Of the two countries, France
paying large portion of the cost. It.
is calculated that this tunnel will be
completed in twelve and half years
from the time of its commencement;
but with ordinary hand drilling it wo'd
have required twenty-five years. labor!
The work proceeds now at the rate OF
5000 feet per annum. The use Of
compressed air to operate, the drilling
machines, not only affords the power
for this purpose, but also supplies air
for the respiration of miners. At one
end 72o men are employed; at the 9th
er, 900. The cost thus far has been
atout s., 2,545, 400. WI "-l-I '--s .lN,

THE following beautiful Poem, which gave
high credit, both to the performer and the Socie-
ty in which il originated, was rehearsed at the
last Anniversary Of the LADIES LIrERARy USros,
June 10th, by Miss EMMA A. RisE. On account
Of its merit we give it to our readers for perusal
It's sweet, sweet song thatthe rain drops hum.
When from the fair realms Of the clouds they
come, s,r
Ginning like myriads Of wee golden bells,
They hide In tho moss ofthe bloom-haunted dells
They fall on the shore Of the ledgy stream.
With the swildering murmur Of winds in adream
It's sweet song that the rain-drops hum.
When from the fair realms, Of the clouds they
come. 49,
But mine is a sweeter, softer refrain
Than fower-harps struck by the summer rain. 9.
When camp-fres shine in the vesper gloom,
And the soldier lies down 10 dream of his home.
As my cadencss steal on the scented south air,
Many's the youth thro' whose shining hair
Soft hands creep-their mothers are there.
Then twine me with laurels, green in the leaf,
And sing as you twine me--Vive la fife.
When the starlight steps dewn with diamond
clasped feet
Across the blue wave Of yon silvery sheet,
From out the deep fringe of It's willowy shore,
How sweet the lone song Of the night-bird floats
o'er. -
1t swells up the allies Of the shadow grove.
Like plant over the tomb Of some hearts lost
love,
It comes with the dews in their yelyety fall
With a dim vague sound as spirits call.
And mingles with echoes dilute from afar.
Struck in loves sweetest measures, for love gone
to war,
It's sad, sweet song that the fair one sings.
When the starlight sweeps down on its white,
silver wings,
But neither the voice Of maiden nor bird,
Such soul thrilling music in the heart never
As my own low tones falling soft on the ear,
Bringing visions of Eden the death throes, 10
cheer M
Ofthe warrior so soon to be placed on his bier
Then twine me with laurels-green in the leaf,
And chant as you twine me-Vivela fife
It's morn-and the cool winds stray thro' the
And brushes the dew from the trembling vines
The curtains of green moss sway to and fro.
With. q sythmical movement, dreamlike and
slow. tNt w

And the heart Of the soldier an echo brings,
The dark curling plumes Of each steed-mounted

He hath hahn on his aims from the last day y's
fight,
Surrounding the foe. in his peerless might,
And is eagerly waiting to catch from afar
The trumpet eognd of the tocsin of war,
But hark! what shout DER the tops of the trees
Comes rolling along on the freshning breeze
Tis the joyous cry ofshe'marsbaled host,
The foe have surrendered!-vain was their boast,
And my notes ring loudest where joy reigns most
Then twine me with laurel-green in the leaf,
And shout as you twine me-Vive Ia fife,

GLOVERSON, THE MORMON.
A Romance by Artemus Ward.
CHAPTER ].
THE MoRMoN's DEPARTURE.


The morning on which Reginald Clio
verson was to leave Great Salt Lake
City with mule train, dawned beauti-
fully.
Reginald Gloyerson was a young and
thrifty Mormon, with an interesting
family of twenty young and handsome
wives, His unions had never been
blessed with children. As often as
once year he used to go to Omaha, in
Nebraska, with mule train, for goods;
but although he had performed the
rather perilous journey many times
with entire safety, his heart was strange
ly sad on this particular morning, and
filed with gloomy forebodings.
The time for his departure had ar
rived. The high-spirited mules were
at the door, impatiently ehamping their
bits. The Mormon stood sadly among
his weeping wives. s. --E

He folded several of them to hi,

But he had not gone far when thu
trace of the off-hind mule became un

Mormon, say, tapped gently at the
door of the mansion OF the late Regi-
nald Gloverson.
The door was opened by Mrs. Susan
Gloverson.
"Is this the house of the widow Glo-

at is" said Susan.
"And how many is there of she?" in
quired the Mormon.
"There is about twenty of her inclu-

Susan.
"Can / see her ?"
"You can!'

number of persons one woman may con

Only this writing Mormon romance is
