A GREAT BRIDGE.-Work on the bridge ovel
the East River, between New York and Brooklyn
will soon begin. The New York Sun says concern
ing this magnificent enterprise:
The board of consulting engineers adjourned
yesterday after careful examination of the plant
and theories of the constructing engineer, Mr.
Robling. The first point on which they unanimous
" decided was that there is nothing impossible in
the building of a suspension bridge Of so great 9
span as sixteen hundred feet. On the Brooklyn
side there is a substratum of boulders which the
current cannot act upon or wash away. But on the
New York side the foundation would have to be
laid upon quicksand. The borings showed thai
this quicksand is not recent deposit but the orr
ginal decomposed rock which has lain numberles.
ages just where it is now. The weight Of each
tower is to be seventy-fve thousand tons To dis
tribute this vast weight so that no part the pres
sure on the bore shall be over four tons per foot
Mr.. Roebling proposes that the area ofthe founda
ton shall be one hundred and sixty-ive feet long
and one hundred feet broad. This area will be
composed of huge timbers resting on the sand and
bearing the masonry work Of the tower upon it.
The timber will be twenty feet thick and this mas
of twenty feet by one hundred and sxtyfve feet by
one hundred feet will be securely bolted into one
solid frame, so that the weight Of the tower above
can never defect it in the slightest degree at any
point. As to the durability Of the timber, the uni
form judgment of the board is that when sounc
timber is imbedded. free from fluctuations Of tenn
perature, and at a depth below the action of thu
tides, it is simply indesructible and everlasting
Mr.. Roebling's plans having been approved, the
committee will begin work without delay.

GETTING DINNER FOR 4 MINISTER. The follow

eyed if they could obtain supply for their tables,
when entertaining the minister, 90 as easy terms:
Mr.. Bascom travelled two years in the noun
famous region Of Kentucky. The county was
Frough, and the people generally poor. But the
romantic willingness Of the country was congenial
to bis feelings and he enjoyed the rude hospitality
Of the sincere hearted forssters
He used to tell, with much apparent pleasure,
ofa dinner he enjoyed with particular satisfaction.
He was preaching once in cabin, which was at
once church and dwelling. The people were list
eniug With seriousness and attention to the truths
Of the Gospel, when in the very midst Of his SER
mon, his host, who sat>near tha door, suddenly
rose from his seat, snatehed the gun from its wood
en- brackets upon which It lay sgainst the joist,
went hastily out and fired it of, and returning, put
the gun in its place and quietly seated himself to
hear the remainder Of the sermon.
The whole affair hardly consumed as much time
as it requires to read this account Of it, and In
very few moments all was going ou - smoothly as
If no interruption had occurred After service was
ended, Bascom inquired Of the man the meaning
Of his strange conduct
''sir," said he, I'VE are entirely out Of meat,
and was perpiexsd to know what NE should give
you for dinner, and it VAS preventing me from en-
joying the sermon, when the Good One sent

REC ONCILIATI ION.
BY W. W. BRIGa.

BY w. W. BRlG9.
There's not a thought that fits the mind
Or's harbor'd there upon,
Which it-more pleasure does afford
Than reconciliation.
When PASSIONS angry fame il fann'd,t
And made to burn with ire;
Each thoughtless word or deed but adds
"Fresh fuel to the fire."
Consuming every friendly ray
Which joy or hope supplies; ....
As quickly as its warmth is felt
No sooner ives-than dies.
When life's all chequered paths are strewn
With here and there rose,
It's toilsome tasks are then TRANSFORMED
For those Of sweet repose.
But, if short lived, that rest should be,
Or scarce as are the flowers
Strewn In life's path-yet, stillNis
No less, than truly ours.
Years of trials, fraught with despair
And daunting tho. they seem'd,
Were in moment all forgot,
When HOPES pIlSnt Sun Wv ooaA W
The distant darkness to dispel;
Which, mantled-and beguiled
The Giving faith, !" that they would ne'er
Again be reconciled. '---
'Tis we'll, tho sorrows, deep and severe
Which have for years DISTRESSED,
Can be forgotten in an hour,
And tn inflictor's hand caresso.
Proving the human heart to be
OF loving kindness born;
Altbo' with wrath sometimes inthralfd
And from its course is torn,
Forc'd and compelled, with ruthless hand
It's duty to ignore;
Until that heaven born Love, demands
It's absence, evermore.
To reconcile extremes so great
As Love and Hatred are;
We must to Him above appeal
Who knows our ev'ry care,
And ev'ry weakness, and our strength
To brave the moral storm
We must encounter, late or soon,
Before we, to Him, conform.
Then let us striveour part to take
In glories to be won,
BY harmonizing forces-all
To reconciliation. .
