Each pearl y virtue was their like elsewhere
were never found ;
And from her pocket forth she drew an hour
glass filled with sand,
That into golden crowns would turn, if touched
by Jessie's hand
Then in the stocking, worn and old, she let the
jewels fall,
With many other wondrous gifts too numerous
to recall,
And filed it up with sugar-plums, the sweetest
e'er were known,
And whispered soft in Jessie's ear, "These
things are all your own. . .
i low, sweet whistle then was heard-'twas
Santa Claus, they say,
Who, waiting all the while outside, now called
his wife away.
10 every house they went that night throughout
Breokhaven town,
But none such priceless gifts received as little
Jessie Brown.

SENATOR DUcKALEw on TnADDEus STEVENS.
/ have heard but one opinion expressed
and that Of intense disgust, by Democrats
in this city--many Of them extreme
Southern men-on the needless venom
spit by Senator Buckalew on the memory
of Thaddcus Stevens, in the Senate, on
the occasion of the formal announcement
of the death of the great Pennsylvania
Statesman to the United States Senate.
As is well known, Thaddeus Stevens was
often compared 10 William Pitt, and like
the latter, was often spoken of as the
"Great Commoner." Among oiher i'll
timed utterances, from a dyspcntic tom-
ach, let us hope rather than from a ma
lignant heart, Mr.. Ruckalcw said, in con
trasting Stevens with Pitt: "But the
English Commoner had at least one great
advantage over the American--a greater
moral weight because he was devotedly
attracted to lawful spouse, and always
observed the proprieties Of life. The mar
rowness Of mind displayed by the Senator
from Pennsylvania will lead no honorable
man to regret that Mr.. Buckalew's seat
is soon to be occupied by gentleman.
The manly, liberal, thoughtful and polish
ed speech of Hon. Fernando Wood pre-
sents favorable contrast to the sour sar-
casm Of Mr.. Buckalew. Indeed, some Of
the best things said of Thaddeus Stevens
were by his political opponents.
OBJECTIONS TO COMMISSIONER BARNARD.
The report Of Hon. Henry d. Barnard,
Commissioner of Education, will appear
very soon, and will present an interesting
array of statistics and other information.
Mr.. Barnard, in the opinion of some
gentlemen specially intelligent on the sub
ject Of neutrality-suspicious., by the by,
who have no ambition to succeed Mr.
Barnard-is not sufficiently alert to what
is being done and th0ught Of, in our own
country, in the department Of education
He confines himself too much to what is
past, and to foreign education. He is
given credit for extraordinary knowledge ];
for industry in gathering information con-
cerning all that has been fully developed
all that can be spoken of in figures or
in general terms, as an accomplished fact
but not for torecasting or organizing
the future out of the past; Or for a quick
sensibility to- and sympathy with, the ef-
forts and wishes Of the earnest workers in
our country whose successes and failures,
both, are actually solving the problem Of
educational improvements, of which Mr..
Barnard, at best, does no more than sup
ply the factors. A disparaging compari-
son is made between him and the late
Horace Mann.
A happy New Year to you and your
readers. May the "Old-Y Year-Out," and
the "New-Year-ln" time-posts, be to you
always happy reminders of the use life
has been to you and others in the
journey between, and be joyfully hailed
signs of your progress towards the good
time at last rather than awakcners of a
vain regret for the past, which cannot be
recalled. j. Il.

Peculiar Modc Of TunncIInu.

The New York Herald of February
| 2G,h says II is no doubt generally
known that at the Legislature tho
pneumatic Dispatch Company" OBJ
tanned Il charter comforting on them the
privilege Of constructing o pneumatic
railroad under certain streets in New
York city, with n view of facilitating
the delivery of parcels and letters.
About three weeks ngo the company
determined to m lei operations Sc
cretly. Moses Beach, who is the Presi-
dent Of tho company, hired the cellar
beneath Devlin's clothing store, corner
Of Broadway and Murray street. Here
by degrees the necessary machinery was
placed and the work Of boring the TIM
mel commenced. The men having
charge of the work are Il party Of Eng
lish miners, who were but recently en-
gagged in the construction Of the 'pneu-
matte railroad tube" under the streets
Of London. Earth was first removed in
front of Devliu's cellar, and the men
gradually worked out into the center of
Broadway. The earth is not dug out,
but pressed away by n shield, which
latter is of exactly the same diam
eter as the tunnel. The shield 8
forced ahead by means of n number of
screws on the rear of the shield, worked
by levers, Tho displaced earth cxuding
through the t~rapdoors in the shield.
The progress made is necessarily slow,
about ten inches per day, completed.
Bricklayers follow in the rear of the
shield and line the tunnel with hard
brick, which of course prevents the
earth from cavipg in. The object of
the company in keeping the work so
secret is said to be their dread of injunc-
tons from stage companies or property
owners, and so they succeeded in get
ting about ten yards down Broadway
before anybody outside Of tho company
was aware that the work had been com-
menced. This section of the tunnel will
terminate at tho New York P~ostofice,
and then the company will commence to
work up town.
The principle by which the cars will
be propelled is now pretty generally
known. An ordinary railroad track is
laid at the bottom of the tube, over
which the cars are propelled by a cur
rent of air and made to return by the
creation of a vacuum.
1t is not known whether the company
limiting their operat ons to the
conveyance of parcels, or whether they
will attempt to carry passengers. A
car capable of seating "a passengers
could be easily ndnDtod IN tho tunnel |
A hange, closely fitting to the sides of
the tunnel, is fitted to one end of each
car upon the surface of which the mir
acts IN ~propelling the car. Tho current
OIL AIR will be supplied by immense fam
the route.
