According TO this report, as may DC inferred
from the few facts given above, the prospects
Of the Canal n,e not se,y bright. The bond
holders are told that they need expect no
dividend for the ensuing yLaT, and the public
arc informed that they must pay higher tolls.
We doubt much if this will tend greatly to
nngmcnt the receipts. If the tolls arc in
creased materially, the only result will be to
drive large portion Of the freight, now car

Getting on ia the World.

There are many different ways of get
ting on IN the world it does not always
mean making great deal of money, or
being great man, for people to look up
to with wonder Lea"ing off bad hab-
it for good one, is getting on in the
world to be clean and tidy, instead of
dirty and disorderly, is getting on to be
active and industrious, instead Of idle and
lazy, is getting on; to be kind and for
bearing, instead of natured and quar-
relsoine, is getting on; to work as dill
gently IN his masters absence AS in his
presence, Is getting on in short, when
we see any one properly attentive to his
duties, perseveriug through difficulties to
gain such knowledge as shall be of use to-
himself and to others, Offering a good ex-
ample to his relatives and aequaintanoes,
we may be sure that he is getting on in
the world. Money is a very useful arti-
Gle in its way, but it is possible to get on
with small means; for it Is mistake to
suppose that we must wait for good
deal Of it before we can do anything
Perseverance is often better than a full
purse. There are more helps towards
getting on than is supposed; many peo-
pie lag behind or miss their way altogeth-
er, because they do not see the simple and
abundant means which surround them OF
all sides; and so it happens that these
means are aids which cannot be bought
for money. Those who wish to get on in
the world must have stock of patience
and perseverance, of hopeful confluence,
a willingness to learn, aud disposition
not easily cast down By difficulties and
disappointments.

Ladies' Should Read Newspapers.

1t is great mistake in female educlion to
keep young lady's time and attention devo-
ted 10 only the fashionable literature of the
dag. If you would qualify her for conversation
you must give her something to talk about
give her education with this actual world and
its transpiring events. Urge her 10 read the
newspapers, and become familiar with the
present character and Improvements OF our
History is of some Importance, but the past
world is dead, and we have nothing to DO
with it. Our thoughts and our concerns should
be for the present world to know what 1t
is and improve the condition OF 1t. Let her
have an intelligent opinion, and be able to
sustain an intelligent conversation concern
ing the mental, moral, aud political improve
ments Of our times. Let the gilded annua is
and poems on the center table be kept part
of the time covered with weekly and daily
journals. Let the whole family, men, wo-
men, and children, read the newspapers

How Near we are to Death.

When we walk near powerful machinery
we know that one single mis-steP and these
mighty engines would tear US to ribbons " th
their ponderous jaws. So when we arc
laundering across the country on railways,
and there is but half an inch iange iron to
hold US on the track. So when we are
OF the sea in a ship and there is nothing
but the thickness If plank between us
and cternity. We imagine then that we
are 10 the edge Of the precipice. But We
do not see it. Whether on sea or land The
partition which divides US from eternity is
something thinner than an oak plank or half
an inch of flsnge iron. The machinery Of
life and health is within us. The tissues
which hold those floating powers in their
place are often not thicker than piece of
paper, and ifthis thin partition were ruptured
or pierced it would be justt the same with US.
Death is in5eparably bound up with life in
the structure of our bodies. Struggle as we
may to widen the space, no man can Re
further from death than the thickness of a
sheet cf paper.

Why Men Eail.

Mrs. Stowe says that people of small
incomes, if they deny the palate to please
the Imagination, can adorn their homes
many gems of art The following incl
dent may be suggestive to many who find
their incomes Inadequate to their wants a:
A young merchant, who had just fall
ed in business, having spent in four years
a legacy of ten thousand dollars, in addi-
tion to any profits realized, was met by a
thrifty young mechanic, who had former
ly been on terms of intimacy with him.
During the conversation which ensued,
the merchant said to him-"How is it,
Harry, that you have been able to live
and save money on the small sum you re-
ceive for your services, while | found 1t
impossible to live in my business with a
good round ten thousand dollars to back
me 2"
"Oh," said the mechanic, "that is cas-
ily understood I have lived with refer
ence, mostly to the comforts and tastes OF
myself and family, while you lived most
ly with reference to opinions and tastes Of
others. 1t costs more to please the eye
than to keep the back warm and stomach
full"

a Bows Lawsuit.

Under great tree close to the village
two boys found a walnut. 1T belongs to
me- said Ignatius, fer I was the first to
see it. No, it belongs to me, cried Ber-
nard, for l was the first to pick it up
And so they began to quarrel in earnest.
4 will settle the dispute said an older
boy who had just come up. He placed
himself between the two boys, broke the
nut in two and said The one piece of
she'll belongs to him who first saw the nut;
the other piece of shell belongs to him
who picked it up; bus the kernal l keep
for judging the case. And this be said
as he sat down and laughed, is the COM
mon end of most lawsuits

The sounding effected with thc new trans.
Atlantic cable, have enabled comparisons to
be made of the different depths of the sea.
Generally speaking, they are of any great
depth In the ncighborhood Of this continent
thus the Baltic, between Germany and Swe-
den, is only l2D feet deep, and the Adriatc,
between Venice and Trieste, l30. The gre tt-
est depth OF The channel between England
and France is 800 feet. while the southwest
Of Iceland, where the sea is open, the depth
is more than 1900 feet. The seas TO the
south Of Europe are much deeper than those
in the interior. In the narrowcSt part Of the
Straits Of Gibralter the depths u only 600
t~c;. On the cost of Spain the depth is
nelr'y six thousand feet. At two hundred
and fifty miles south of Nantucket, south uf
Cape Cod, no bottom was found at $500
feet. The greatest depths of all arc to be
met with in the Southern Ocean. To the
west on the Cape OF Cool Hope, 5000 feet
have been measured, and to the wet of ST..
Helen, 27,000 feet, Dr. Young estimates
