A few days ago, in Berwick, Me, a good,
honest looking country fellow was looking at
the telegraph wires with establishment. A
passer by asked him what he thought of it.
''Waal 1 don't know exactly" replied the
fellow; 'but know they won't get me to ride
on the darned thing; them thar wires and
posts would tear my breeches all to pieces"
''One of the owls in Montreal got a mes
sage signed Breed & Butler, and was very
much surprised when the party sent it back,
wishing to know what the Ill firm Bread

last name Butter, so made the first Bread 'to

Another crack operator In the same office
received the following message: ''Sons leave

Tell the fainting soul and weary form
There's world of the purest bliss,
That is linked as the soul and form are linked
Bya Covered Bridge with this.
Yet to reach that redlm on the other shore
We must pass through transient GLOOM
And must walk unseen, unhelped, and alone
Through the Covered Bridge-the tomb
But we all pass over on equal terms,
For the universal toll
Is the outer garb which the hand of God
Has flung around the soul.
Though the eye is dim, and the Bridge Is VA" ny
And the river it spans is wide,
Yet faith points through to SHINING hio"n'
That looms on the other side.
To enable our feet in the next days march
To climb up that golden ridge,
We must all lie down for one hi9ht rest

The First Mortgage Bonds Of this
Company afford unusual inducements OF Safe

among other reasons, viz
first. The rates OF interest is Six per cent in
Gold, payable semi annually in the City of New

Second. The Principal is payable in Gold at

visles nearly half ibe amount necessary ss
TO a small percentage on the future traffic
for repayment.
Ftfh. Owing to this liberal provision, accompanied
with EXTENSIVE GRANTS OF PUBLIC

great national enterprise, its success is render
cd certain, and its Gnaheial stability is
altogether independent of the cOmtiMge,a-
