Forrest at work.

Geo. Forrest thus writes to the editor
ofthe Marion (Ala.) Journal:
] am engaged in building railroad
from Selma, Alabama, to Memphis, Ten
nessee; q railroad two hundred and
eighty miles long, which cannot fail, II
completed, to be vastly beneficial to the
people of the three States of Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee. Ia this work
l am trying to enlist the cooperation OF
men of all parties who, like myself, feel
an interest in the development of the
country, and desire to eface ell traces of
the late war in prosperity greater than
the South ever before enjoyed, because it
will be based upon the development of all
her varied resources.
This railroad will traverse the finest
portions Of Alabama and Mississippi, sf-
ford an outlet to market for the cotton
lands of those States, give route to the
Mississippi river for the rich coal and
iron deposits of Alabama, and carry back
in return the products of the West. The
accomplishment of such an enterprise, in
my opinion, is an object worthy the am
bition of any man, and to one who loves
his country and humbIy seeks to serve
the interests of his fellow-citizens, is far
above the consideration of mere partisan
politics.

WIFE AND I.

We quarreled this morning wife and T.
We were out Of temper, and scarce knew why,
But 70 look in our eyes you'd have sworn that we
both
Were couple of enemies, spiteful and wroth-.
Nora wedden man and woman.
Wife. like tragedy queen in play.
Tossed her sweet little head in Us lofty way
Asso little a woman was able;
She clenebed her lips with a sneer and q frown,
While L being rougher. stamped up and down,
Like q careless groom in a Stable.
You'd have thought US the bitterest Seeing US
then) 80
OF little women and little men.
You'd have laughed at our spite and passion;
And would never have dreamed that storm like
this
Would be rainbowtd to tears by that sunlight, a
TiIIwe talked in the old fond fashion.
Yet the storm was over IN less than an hour,
And was followed soon by sunny shower,
And that again by embraces;
Yet 50 little the meaning was understood
That &c almost felt ashamed to be good.
.Anq wore blush on our faces.
Then she as Woman, much brayer became,
And tried to bear the whole weight of the blame
When seeing her humble, and knowing her
1 all at once became humble too,
And. very contrite and loving.
But seeing Iacted an humble part
She laughed outright with a frolic heart
4 laugh as careless as Cupid;
And the laughter wrangied along my brain,
Till Talmost felt in q passion again,
And became quite stubborn and stupid.
And this was the time for her arms to twine
Around this stubborn neck of mine.
Like the arms of maid round a lover.
And feeling them there, with their warmth, you
know
laughed quite different laugh and so
The storm las called t) was over.
So then we could talk with the power to please :;
AS. though the passing Of storms like these
Leaves Il certain felicity
OF getting easily angry again,
Yet they free the heart and rebuke the brain,
And teach US rough humility.
You see that we love one another SO well,
That we find more comfort than you can tell
IN jingling our bells and corals;
In the ficrcer fights of II world so drear,
We keep our spirits so close and clear,
That we need such trivial quarrels.
In the great fierce fights of the world we try
To shield one another, my wife and /,
Like brave strong man and woman:
But the trivial quarrels of days and nights
Unshaekle our souls from the great fierce fights,
And keep us lowly and human.
Clouds would grow In tire quietest mind
And make it unmeet to mix with its kind,
Were nature less wise as a mother;
And with storms like ours there must futter
out
From the bosom the hoarded-hp darkness and
doubt
The excess of our love for each other.

A PERSIAN FABLE.-When F Abraham
sat at his tent door, waiting to enter
tain strangers, according to his custom,
he espied an old man leaning upon a
staff, approaching him, who was hum
dred years old, and weary with age
and travel. He received him kindly,
washed his feet, and provided supper;
but observing that the old man ate and
prayed not for the blessing on his meat,
asked him why he did not worship the
God of heaven. The old man answered:
81 worship the fire ouly; acknowledge
no other God" At this Abraham
grew indignant, and in his zeal thrust
the old man out of his tent, and ex-
posed him to all the evils of the night.
When the old man was gone, God
called to Abraham from the black
clouds, asking him where the stranger
was. He replied: 81 thrust him away
because he did not worship Thee'"-
And the Lord answered: 81 have suf-
fered him these hundred years, though
he dishonored me. Couldst thou not
bear with him one night, though he
gave thee no trouble?" The story
saith that Abraham called him back,
and gave him hospitable entertainment
and instruction. Go thou and do like
wise, and thy charity shall be rewarded
by the God of Abraham.

A Curious BoAT.-A novel affair is
now being constructed on the Ohio
river, near Wyandot, West Virginia.
1t is a floating craft. something after
the fashion of fat-boat When COM
-pleted it will embrace saw-mill, a
sash and door factory, and an elegant
dwelling house. This floating combi-
nation Of workshops and home is the
invention OF Ludwig Schmidt. The
hull is rs feet in length and 25 in width.
It contains a portable engine, which
propels the boat itself, as well as the
machinery pertaining to the saw-mill
and factory. The saw-mill will be ON
the first floor. The second story of the
boat will be fitted up as planning mill,
sash and door factory, and the third as
adwelling for theowner, built after the
style of a texas on steamboat, with
twelve cabins. The boat will be 26
feet inches high from the water up.
The logs will be drawn out of the wa
ter, sawed up, and loaded on barges
and flats attached to the boat. When
anv of the timber is sold, il can be
towed right to the place without any
trouble. The structure will cost about
$1,000. a1.ei., s.

The LONGEST FRAME BUILDING IN
THE WoRLD.-In order to protect the
track across the ''snowline," the man
ayers of the Pacific Railway have con

one large building, to keep the snow
from the track. This shed is about
22 miles long, 16 feet in height, not in
Guiding the pitch of the roof. Itisput
up in the most substantial manner, all
the timbers used being of the'best quail
ity to be obtained. The sides are in
closed, and were itnot for the fact that
daylight penetrates through the inter-
stices between the boards, the whole
affair would be taken for some huge
tunnel. The building is braced to-
gether in the most substantial manner,
and is, in addition, firmly bolted to the
rocks wherever the road nears the
face of the cliff. Where snow-slides
are feared, an extension of the roof has
been carried to the cliffs $50. that fall
ing masses shall pass over the building
and lodge on the other side. In many
places where side tracks are located;
the buildingis wider than that indicated
in the figures given above. More than
100000 feet of lumber have been
used in its construction. 1t covers an
area of more than 100000 square
feet, or nearly fourty-four acres

A Story That Admits of No
Doubt-The Latest in That
: Line,
TFrom the St. Louis Republican. |

From the st. Louis Republican
Snake stories, as a rule, are so uni
versally incredible, that any one who
is bold enough to relate marvellous
one, not only subjects himself to the
imputation Of untruth, but even to
public ridicule. The one that we now
present comes so well attested that its
credibility can not be successfully ques-
toned. On Saturday night, DR.. Duf-
field, of Hannibal, in this State, was
summoned to the bedside of patient,
upon whom he had been in attend
ance for several days, for measles, and
upon his arrival the lady, who was a
slender and delicate female, and who
had been in ill-health for several
years, complained of "choking in her
throat" and that she felt something
moving, and also that the throat felt
very sore. The drug store being closed,
the doctor ordered strong pepper tea
made, and some alum put in, with
which to gargle. She used this, and
the choking increased. He directed
her to swallow some, thinking it was a
worm, and having nothing at hand
better, supposed this would relieve her,
by causing it to withdraw downward
into the stomach. The feeling yet in
creased, and as placebo, until some
thing better could be obtained, she was
directed to cat sugar. In moment
or so, she said. something was crawl
ing upward, and she looked as though
she would suffocate. She coughed vi
olently, and Immediately squirming,
live reptile was elected from the mouth,
which, on examination, proved to be a
water snake, about twelve or fourteen
inches in length, and about fye-eightha
or three-quarters of an inch in diam
eter about the center of the body. II
was a yellow, mottled snake, with dark
or black eyes, and its tongue darted
out in fearfully disgusting manner
1t is supposed that at some time. when
drinking from some branch OF brook
in Michigan, whence she had lately
come, she unconsciously swallowed the
hideors reptile; whilst it was very
small The woman, as stated, had suf-
fered from ill-health for year or more
and is now rapidly recovering.
