man was ushered into my study few
days since, who announced that he had

CHAPTER I.
1t is doubtless generally known that
T Il ~, -,
Alps is in process of excavation. From
the opening on either side of the noun
tain, the tunneling has proceeded for
about mile, and the darkness and
gloom Of the cavern in which the work
men delve, day after day, can scarcely
be imagined by those whose lives have
been spent merely on the smiling sur
face of the earth-I will not attempt to
picture it.
CHAPTER II.
In the south of England, a gentleman
named Parker possessed Il farm, the
greater part of which, boing subject to
foundations, was useless for the purpos-
es Of tillage. Being of an entcrprising
disposition, Mr. Parker conceived the
idea of draining these meadows, and af
ter years of labor, succeeded in doing so
by means of long and wide ditch,
which was at once source of wealth to
him, and of wonder to the country side
CHAPTER III.
What Is the difference between this
ditch and the tunnel under the Alps ?
EPIL0GUE.
One is Parker's ditch, and the other
dark as pitch.
1t is needless to any that purchased !
this, if it were only for the unique char
acter Of the thing.
