Republican says
"lk j." in the Congregationalist, fur
nishe, Il new set of reasons for CON-
plotting the Hoosic tunnel. He says that
the convenience of China and Japan re-
duire il, that Boston will soon receive
her tea direct from China through ne
tunnel, and the a. Il. G. Z. NJ. will sh"ttiy
send their missionaries to China through
the tunnel" These arguments are not to
be sighted, introducing, as they do, the
domestic and religious element into this
rr,al question. But until the tunnel is
fnished-for $4,000, 0O0-we suppose the
missionaries can go to Albany by way OF
Springfield, and to ogdensburg by way OF
Burlington, and our tea can come by wa

For deep oer many stately bark,

That stcered us from that carly mark
Oh friends wc arc growing old

Old in the wreck Of love and trust
Wdioh our burthcncd memory bears,

And beams may brighten our attcr days
Which tho morning never met;
But oh the changes We have econ,

And the locks lnt have grown Icy!
