A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

The following waif ahoat on the Nsea of
reading" we clip from an exchange. We
do not know its paternity, but it contains
some wholesome truths, beautifully set
forth:
Men seldom think of the great event of
death until the shadow falls across their
own path, hiding forever from their eyes
the traces of the loved ones whose living
smiles were the sunlight of their existence.
Death is the great antagonist Of life, and
the cold thought the TOMB IS the skeie-
ton at all feasts We do not want to go
through the dark valley, although its pass
age may lead to paradise; and with Chas.
Lamb we do not want to lie down in the
muddy grave, even with kings and princes
for our bedfellows. ''>H.
But the fiat of nature is inexorable-
There is no appeal of relief from the great
law which dooms US to dust. We flourish
and we fade as the leaves of the forest, and
the flower that blooms and witherS in a
day has no Trailer hold upon life than the
mightiest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. Generations of
men appear and vanish, as the grass, and
the countless multitudes that throng the
world to-day, will tomorrow disappear as
the footsteps ON the shore.
In the beautiful dramas of Ion, the in
stinct of Immortality, so eloquently uttered
by the death devoted Greek, finds deep
response in every thoughtful soul When
about to yield his young existence as a
sacrifice to fate, his beloved Clemanthe asks
if they shall not meet again, to which he
replies II asked that dreadful question
of the hills that look eternal-of the clear
streams that flow forever-of the stars
among whose fields of azure. my raised
spirit hath walked upon thy living face,
feel that there is something in the love
that mantles through its beauty that can
not wholly perish. We shall meet again,
Clemanthe."

D. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE %, 1869

A small grating enables the prisoner, as h
/ passes, to look out once for all on the busy
life below him. Light he is never to SCI,
again. Hurried through a dark passage
to the Ak or the garroting chair, and then,
the body hurled through sluice-way, fell
into boat waiting to receive it below, and
was hurried to its dishonored burial. For
crimes committed against the state, prison
ers were sentenced in the Grand Square,
the doom being pronounced openly by an
officer who stood between two marble
columns that still remain. Between the
two marble columns that mark the grand
entrance into St Marks Square, the con-
demned were beheaded.
The Rialto bridge, which crosses the
Grand Canal, was built in 1868. 1t is built
of solid stone, with one span. 1t is ascen-
ded by steps. 1t has three compartments.
Stores are built upon it on each side, and
the great rush from morning till night is
over this celebrated structure. 1t leads to
the Rialto, where the great business of
Venice is still done as in the olden time
A noisier set of tradesmen the world has
not produced. The men have splendid
voices, and they bawl out their wares, Oh
and around the bridge, with terrible vehe-

here, begging a living, who would make
their fortunes in America.
The Grand Canal is dark at night
The stores open on the street, and not ,on
the canal. The few places that are occu-
pied do not have their sitting rooms look
ing upon the water The gondolas, that
glide like spectres, up and down, have no
lights. Occasionally there is fete on the
canal. A huge barge is filled with sing
ers; women, as well as men play the violin
and double bass. The barge is lighted
with Chinese lanterns, and is followed by
from ten to thirty gondolas, and thousands
of people on the sides of the canal fol-
low the procession, and people on the
bridges, and all join in the applause that
attends the singing. The canal is silent
and dreary at night, but the ladies and
passengers are lively enough. The little
cafes and drinking rooms, gilded and bedi-
zened like newly painted circus, are
crowded. Revelers fill the streets that are
never still. Bands of men and women sing
and shout under the window and never
seem disposed to 60 to bed. 'Strolling
Ministries exercise repose. Acfobats turn
somersaults with shouting, and ;he hoarse
bawling of the gondoliers does not cease
till morning.

A French journal is responsible for the
following: I'm certain small provincial
town, one of the residents M. A. B., found
that his house was rendered both damp
and dark by the contiguity ola large tree
which was ineonveniently near to his win
dows. He would gladly have had it cut
down, but the tree belonged to the COM
mune and was not to be meddled with
Being a man of resources, he sent for in
sertion to one of the Paris papers the fol-
lowing paragraph; '"There is still in ex-
istAnce one of the trees of liberty of 1888.
1t may be seen at X, close to the house OF
M. A. B., and the passers-by reverently I'm
cover their heads to this venerable witness
OF our grandest struggles and our most
illustrious victory Three days afterward
an order came from the Prefecture in Paris
for the Mayor of X. to cause the said tree
to be cut down-which was accordingly
done forthwith" - ~

CELEBRATED RoADs-That over tho
Simplon was projected by Napoleon, and
made at the joint expense of France and
Italy. 1t was completed in 1s05-heing
thirty-six mikes long, about twenty-five
feet broad, and passes over two hundred
and sixty-four bridges, through six short
tunnels of solid rock-one, however, being
thirteen hundred feet in length, by twelve
in width. 1t was the most stupendous en-
terprise ever undertaken by man. 8.
Another road, marvellous in all respects,
passes over Mount st. Bernard, lying be-
tween Switzerland and Italy. Itpasses be-
tween two of the highest points of the
mountain--the road at that point being
about 5000 feet above the level of the sea-
The route is very circuitous, and passes
celebrated monastery, distinguished for the
humility of the monks and the sagacity
and monstrous size of a breed of dogs kept
there for the assistance of travellers. Ma
poleon crossed there with an army in 1900.
Over Mount st. Gothard is another won-
derful road, only twelve feet wide, paved
with granite. The Devils Bridge, on the
road, spans with single arch (having
peaks of rocks for abuttments) an awful
abyss, which must have exercised the
highest order of engineering genius to
have spanned. ALI three are among the
wonders of the world.
Ancient Rome at one epoch in her histo-
ny had twenty-nine costly military roads,
many of them bordered on either side by
splendid temples and palatial residences.
Every twelve miles buildings were erected
where relays of horses were always in read
mess for couriers, and also carriages and
beasts of burden for the conveyance of bag
gage and goods. Atintervals ofthirty miles
there were ediflces for lodging soldiers
Such was the admirable finish of these
roads, running generally directly from one
city to the other, that they have actually
endured for over two thousand years in
some places, and excite admiration still on
account of their excellent construction.
The Hoosic Tunnel in Western Massa-
chusetts, when completed, will far excel
any road in ancient or modern time. 1t is
destined to be a wonder of wonders.

RensOcaI 0ffhe Russian Capital.

A political item of very great importance
to the future of Europe came by last mail
| The Gear has issued decree, removing
the seat of Government from st Petersburg
on the Baltic, to Kew, the present capital
OF the Ukraine, town on the Dnieper, one
hundred miles from the Austrian, aud one
hundred and fifty miles from the Turkish
frontier. The agricultural wealth of the
Ukraine is enormous; it is almost in the
centre of the settled and civilized portions
OF the Cars dominions; British capital
has endowed it with a railroad system,
now rapidly approaching completion,
which communicates with Moscow and the
Baltic on the north, and Simpheropol,
Odessa and the Black Sea on the
south, while it is inhabited by perhaps the
hardest and bravest of the many nomad
tribes who form the great bulk of the Rus
sian people. s..I
1t was in this very region that the Ostro-
goths and Visigoths recruited their strength
on their onward march, and initiated the
dosolation and massacres which were the
fearful precursors of the fall of the old Ro-
man Empire from Spain to Gaul, from Gaul
to Italy, from Italy to the Danube and the
borders of the Bosphorus, thanks to the
rotten civilization, the Decentralization and,
the divisions Of the people who once obey
ed its sway; and although the day may be
far distant when the modern Attillas who
sit on the Russian. throne will be forced to
yield to the natural law which per petually
impcls the North and East upon the South
and West, Europe may well feel alarmed
at the further step towards consolidation
involved in the removal of the Capital from
the isolated Baltic to the central plains of
Kew. Alexander's predecessors Have
steadily aimed at the absorption of the
Turkish Empire, seat on the Bosphorus
and the command of the Mediterranean,
dictatorship of Europe and foothold in
the East Indies. These Imperial dreams
and longings appeared to be the hallucina-
tions of mailman, still the vast and enor-
mously increasing resources, strategical po-
sition and future population Of the Empire
remove them from the bounds Of impossi-
bility. Many years may yet elapss before
the Russians again attempt to fulfil what
our neighbors call their ''@iranifest dcsti-
n.y." but ere the century is closed we may
safely predict that the Russians will be on
'Bosphorus, while the halls of the stately
palace now being erected, in pursuance of
the decree, on the Dnieper, viii be decora-
ted with the emblems ofpast Turkish pow
er and pride.-N Montreal (Cd.) Gazette.
