The little have seen of the world teach
es me to look upon the errors of others in
sorrow, not in anger. When I take the his
tory Of one poor heart that has sinned and
suffered, and represent to myself the strug-
giles and temptations it has passed through,
the brief pulsations Of joy, the feverish in
quetude of hope and fear, the pressure Of
want, the desertion Of friends. I would fain
leave the erroing soul of my fellowman with
Him from whose hand it came.

A MONSTER BRIDGE.-The "wides
bridge in the world"-that which
spans the Thames from Batteries tc
Pimlico--was opened on the goth inst,
for traffic. According to the plans OF
Sir Charles Fox, the new structure has
four river spans of IT'S feet. The
river openings are segmental in shape,
and the ribs of wrought iron have a
rise of II feet. The three piers in the
river have each at the level of spring
ing of ribs thickness of 125 feet, and
the two abutments are 80 feet thick
each at that level, so that the total
length of the bridge is about 410
yards. The width of the bridge at the
rails level is ITO feet, wide enough for
eight lines of rails, and this width is
carried by seven main ribs to each
span. The abutments have been
carried down TO depth of over Is
feet below low water mark, with the
brickwork in cement, and the excava-
tions for the abutments, owing to the
width Of the bridge and form of ribs,
had to be l25 feet long and 48 feet
wide. The piers are supported by
brickwork, in cylinders, the latter four
in number, being sunk to depth of
45 feet below high water mark. Each
is 81 feet in diameter, and made of
cast iron in lengths of s feet, each
length composed of eight segments
The length of each pier at the level of
the cylinders is 130 feet The weight
of iron in superstructure and cylinders,
etc, is estimated al 5000 tons; 100,-
600 cubic feet of stone has been used /;
10000 cubic feet of brickwork, and
about 100000 cubic feet of timber.
Each of the cylinders has been
weighed with load of 1000 tons to
test the foundations, and at low water
mark cast iron girders are fixed be-
tween them and the existing pier.

A Farmer ofITistoric Note.

A farmer named Rolfe has just died
at Beaconsfield, England, who has an
interesting history. He was son OF
the farm bailiff ofEdmund Burke, and
the original of the famous picture, by
Sir Joshua Reynolds, of "The Infant
Hercules" Mr.. Jesse in his "Favo.
rite Haunts," recounting his visit to
Beaconsfield in 1S45, thus refers to the
circumstance
''Mr. Rolfe's mother-in n-law told me
circumstance that l was little pre-
pared to hear it was the fact that her
good, honest and portly son -in-law,
whom saw before me, had been the
very infant whom Sir Joshua Reynolds
took as the model of his well known
picture "The Infant Hercules. The
infants father was the farm bailiff OF
Mr.. Burke, with whom he was an es-
pecial favorite, that great man in his
happier days frequently coming to the
cottage, sometimes eating potatoes
roasted in the embers of wood fire,
and once trying the merits of a rook
or jackdaw pie, or rather mixture of
both. Sir Joshua Beynolds, it seem,
when visiting at Burke's happened to
see the infant Rolfe sprawling on the
grass, and was struck with the look of
strength the child possessed, and he
took him for his model of the demi-
god; all powerful even in his tender
est years. Rolie did not belle the
opinion of the painter. He grew up a
very strong and stalwart man, and so
he appeared even in his old age, when
he was famlliarly known to the last as
the "Infant Hercules" Mr.. Rolfe
lived in snugfarm close to Beacons-
field and to the statesman's favorite
spot, ~"Burke's Grove" AID he used
to receive strangers visiting his cot
tage very courteously, and would show
themsundry relics of the Burke family.
Among other curiosities he would,
with great pride, exhibit a dagger,
which he maintained was the identical
weapon that Mr. Burke threw down in
the House of Commons"
