THE CECIL WING
"SNOWBIRDS."
ET LESLIE WALTER,

EY LESLIE WALTER.
From rstme Of Poems by Leslie oitcr in press b,
Roberts Brotbers.j
When the air is thick with falling snow,
When the wild winds rave, when the wild
winds blow,
The snowbirds come
Flutterins over the frozen ground,
Flying and fitting without n sound
Like heavenly blessings falling around.
Pledged in the clouds, OR dropped from the
sky?
Born in the storm when the winds are high ?
They are wisely dumb;
And we only know that the elvish horde,
Fed by the secret mama of God,
Are nestled under his mantle broad
Never at any other time,
In spring first flush, Or in summers prime
The snowbirds come
Never to pick at the opening buds,
Never to Hit through the leaty woods,
Never to relish the autumn goods.
hate the shrine of the starry lights,
The bitter irosts of the Arctic nights,
And the wintry gloom;
But something is vital, something is warm,
For ont of the rack Of the drifting storm
Life has q token, and love form.
Not alone in the whiring crowd,
Darkening the lawn like flying cloud,
The snowbirds Gomez
For q winter messenger, fluttering down,
Fair as snow on the table brown,
Comes each evening the day to crown
Only little paper sheet,
But the thoughts are true, and the words are
sweet,
Flying straight homc
When such favors fall out of the sky,
What do | care if the wind raves by,
Or the drifting crystals pile mountain high
Bringing healing upon their wings,
Bringing balm for the keenest slings,
My snowbirds come;
Fate nor fortune can harm Inc here,
None can taste of their secret cheer
Little blessings divine and dear.
Saying, Though all the world be lost.
Gu. i'll the winter Of gloom and Frost
We dare its doom
Sent by the love that you knew of old
Would shelter and shield you in darkness
and cold,
Would wrap you safe in its mantle's fold'
When the air is thick with falling snow,
Though the wild winds rave; though the wild
winds low,
The snowbirds come,
And know by these tokens flying fast
That after the winry storms be past
Love and summer will come at last.

A Ride in the Sewers Of Paris.

But few of the Americans who visit Paris
know of the opportunity which may be offer
ed them to visit the very extensive sewerage
of Paris, and examine its system. Rcceiv.
ing cards Of invitation, we stationed our
selves near the tower OF st. jacques, at an
iron trap door, and the party were soon
called upon to descend. Not knowing OF
the modus operandi of getting into these
dark regions below, we all felt as if We were
going to take y leap in the dark" but what
was our surprise to find elegantly fitted up
carriages or ears, lighted by four large globe
lamps on each corner. These cars contain
twelve persons each, and there were five Of
them, making sixty persons, which is the
limit to the number invited at one time. -
OF COURSE our ride was limited to the large
lnnnel or main sewer, which was about
,,wenty feet high and fifteen wide. The cars
run on six feet guage track, and are push.
ed on down grade by two men for each
ear.
The water sewerage or drain is below.
and is from six to eight feet deep, so that
small boats can be towed ul the way, and
has down grade enough TO make it quite
current. We rode by this train Of cars
across the Boulevard Sebastopol to the head
of Rue Ryoli, alongside of the palace and
TuilIerics gardens, to the place Concord, "A
we disembarked into boats and sailed under
the whole length OF Rue Royalc, coming out
by the side Of the Church of Madeline. All
along the main channel are openings, or
1rap.doors, covered with gratings ut the
head of each cross street; which are marked
by the names of the streets on the side Of
the tlnnel. By this means ventilation is
secured. On the top of the tunnel are two
large iron pipes through which passes the
fresh water supply for the city-one from
the acqueducts and artesian Wells, the other
from the wafer pGmped up from the river
Seine.
There arc also three telegraph wires in
closed in lead pipes. 1t is well known that
the great sewers are built for the underground
transportation Of troops in the time of an
Instruction or war. BY this means Napo.
leon can transport, secretly, troops from one
part Of the city to the other, suddenly APP.
1,caring from the ground at almost any point.
The telegraph would also be servceable on
such occasions. Besides this navigable sew.
.r, which is fitted mp especially for pleasure
trips, there are smaller sewers running IN.
der twenty-five Of the principal streets, and
the whole length Of the sewerages Of Paris,
large and email, including that under CON
strncton, was informed, is over three hun.
bred miles in length. and by these means
she drainage of Paris is effected on mag
niticent scale, and far surpasses the subter.
ranean wonders of ancient Rome.

Mrs. LINCoIH.-A correspondent of the
New York TrtJDne, in n long communica,
ton to that paper, entitled "A Day with
Ben Wade, y writes as follows Of Mrs. Lin.
coin: During our conversation, the sub.
iect Of Mrs. Lincoln aud her recent disgrace.
full conduct came up, and, remembering that
Mr.. Wade was one of u committee appoint.
ed by tho two Houses 20 investigate the pc.
I cuniary condition IN which. MIR. Lincoln $
family was lett, aud report bill for their
relief, asked him if it was true, as stated
by Mrs. Lincoln, that Mr. Lincoln left little
or no property behind him. No. said he,
'ts ID lie. We looked into that matter
very carefully, The Illinois men wanted us
to give her 100000, and we agreed to dc
so, if it appeared that she really needed it.
| We sent for the administrator Of the estate,
and he testified that Mr.. Lincoln left SO.
000 in Government bonds, or something
ike that, besides some little productive Drop
erty in Springfield, Illinois in all, about
500, 900. We thought, then, that $4,000
would be enough the same as was paid to
the widow Of Gen. Harrison. Mrs Lincoln
was very well OIL and didn't need even what
she got. She took one hundred boxes o
something Or other-l don't know what
away with her, and the Commissioner o
Public Buildings swore there were liftecr
other boxes TINT she wanted TO carry off
and he had to interfere to prevent her A
any rate she cleaned out the White House
didn't know but she was going to run
big hotel with all she carried off.
