which possibly may be too much. as / have 40

should be, since currents accelerate descending as
much as they Tetsrd ascending boats; therefore,
their influence disappears in discussion compre.
hending the movement of trade in both directions.
In fact the descending tonnage overbalances
the ascending so that the balance in practice will
be TO the credit of the river current. As illu.
sive statement has been made respecting the time
saved by the MaDchac route, attention is called to
the facility with which such estimate may be ma
nipuaed to suit, can be seen by applying
rates above and below ten miles an hour to the
preceding statement which is only fair. so far as
the rate assumed Is the actual average Of the boats

Love from the North.

Beloved through AOril far in May;
He waited on my lightest breath,
And never dared to say me nay.
He saddened if my cheer was sad,
But gay he grew If was gay;
We never differed on a hair.
My yes his yes, my nay his nay.
The wedding hour was come, the aises
We're flushed with sun and flowers that day !:
pacing balanced in my thoughts
:" It's quite too late to think of nay"
Ny bridegroom answered in his turn,
Myself bad almost answered "yea :"
When through the flashing nave heard
A struggle and resOunding may"
Bridesmaid and bridegroom shrank in fear,
But stood high who stood at bay;
" And If | answer yea. fair sir,
What man art thou to bar with nayg"
He was a strong man from the north,
Light-lOcked, with eyes of dangerous gray;
" Put yea by for another time
In which will not say thee nay"
he took me in his strong white arms,
He bore me on his horse away
Ger crag, mOrass, and hair-breadth pass,
But never asked me yea nor nay.
He made me fast with book and bell,
With links Of love he makes me stay:
Till now I've neither heart nor power
Nor will nor wish to say him nay.
