THE ARCADE RAILWAY VS. THE PNEUMATIC
TUBE.

TO the Edttor OF The Tribune.
SIR: | observe the letter of Mr.. A. E. Beach,
president OF the Pneumatic Dispatch Company, in THE
TRIBUNE OF this morning. Mr.. Beach is quite correct
He has written "letter" far as am aware in favor
OF the Arcade Railway, and connected with that
project has ever claimed that such letter existed The
document which your correspondent doubtless re-
ferred article rather two articles, in The Seem
fe American OF which Mr Beach Is OF the editors
and proprietors
The article from which quotation has been made in
our circulars Is one which, Mr. Beach distinctly IN
formed me- was written by him personally. AS
preston OF deliberate Judgment OF the careful and
conscientious editor OF able paper as The Scientific
doubi not, more effect upon the Legislative Com
mitees than any hasty private letter could have The
fore the Legislative Committees, as Mr. Beach alleges
But this s his loss it Is fun OF Judgment ana good

Marriage MaXilns.

The following '"marriage maxims" are
worthy of more than hasty reading Hus-
bands need no. pass them by, for they are
designed for wives; and wives should not
despise them for they are addressed to hus-
bands:
The very nearest approach to domestic
happiness on earth is in the cultivation on
both sides of absolute unselfshness.
Never talk at one another either alone or
in company
Never both be angry at once. a
Never speak loud to one another unless
the house is on fire.
Let each one strive to yield the oftenest
to the wishes of the other
Never find fault unless it is perfectly GER
tain that fault has been committed, and
always speak lovingly.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Neglect the whole world besides rather
than one another.
Never make remark at the expense Of
the other it is meanness.
Never part for day without loving words
think of during absence.
Never meet without loving welcome
Never let the sun 60 down upon any an
ger or grievance.
Never let any fault you have committed
60 by until you have frankly confessed it
and asked forgiveness.
Never forget the happy hours Of early
love-
Never sigh at what might have been, but
make the best of what is
Never forget that marriage is ordained of
God, and that his blessinge alone can make
it what should it ever be.
Never let your hopes stop short of the
eternal home.

RICHES. -The man with good, firm health
is rich. ...
So is the man with a clear conscience.
So is the parent of vigorous, happy chill
dren.
So is the editor of a good paper, with a
big subscription list
So is the clergyman whose coat the little
children of his parish pluck as he passes
them in their play.
So is that wife who has the whole heart
of good husband.
So is the young man, who, laying his
hand on his heart, can say Il have treated
every woman l ever saw as l should wish
my sister treated by other men"
So is the little child who goes to sleep
with kiss on its lips, and for whose waking
a blessing awaits.

DRIED APPLE Pres. following was
surely written by Confederate soldier,
stationed either near Richmond, Fredericks
burg OR Petersburg during the war
Iloath abhor detest despise!
Abominate dried apple pies
like good bread, like good meat,
Or anything that's fit to eat;
But of all poor grub beneath the skies,
The poorest is dried-apple pies.
Give me toothache eyes
In preference to such kind of pies.
The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit,
TITS wormy, bitter and hard to boot;
They leave the huIls to make us cough,
And don't take half the peeling off.
Then on a dirty cord they're strung,
And from some chamber window hung;
And there they serve roost for flies
Until they're ready to make pies.
Tread on my corns tell me lies,
But don't pass me dried apple pies.

Poetry.
Have Faith. and Struggle On.

A swallow in the Spring
came 10 our granary, and meath the ewes
Essayed 10 make nest, and there did bring
Wet earth and straw and leaves.
Day after day she toiled
With patient art. but, ere her work was crowned
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But, not cast down, forth from the place she flew
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought
And built her nest anew
But scarcely had she placed
me last soft feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hand or chance again laid waste
And wrought the ruin DER.
But still her heart she kept
And tolled again; and last night, hearing calls,
looked, and 10! three little swallows slept
Within the earth-made walls.
What truth is here, % man?
Hath Hope been smitten in its early dawn?
Hath cloud oercast thy purpose, trust, or plant
Have Faith, and struggle on!

A RESULT OF THE WAH.-Tho following
waif, which we clip from Southern paper.
will interest hundreds of our readers who
were of the gallant army that defended Pc
tersburg during the last days of the Con-
federacy:
One of the most singular sights growing
out of the war is continuous line of peach
trees, of nearly fifty miles in length, around
Petersburg and extending towards Rich
mond They are growing from the breast
works thrown up by the Confederate army,
and are the only legacy left by the poor
fellows who were on the advance line, within
one hundred yards of the Federal force
Having eaten of the fruit while on picket
duty. they cast the seed aside, and now they
appear in one continuous line of forty
miles of beautiful trees, which yielded an
abundant crop last year.
A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT. Scott, in one
of his novels, makes his hero, as he rides
along by a mountain stream apostrophize
the stream thus:
"Murmurer that thou art, why chafe with
the rocks that stop thy course for moment?
There is a sea to receive thee in its bosom
and there is an eternity for man when his
frctful and hasty course through the vale of
time shall be closed and over What thy
petty tuning is to the doep and vast pillows
of shoreless ocean, are our cares, hopes,
Joys and sorrows, to the OBJ ects which must
occupy us through the awful and boundless
succession of ages" For the christian,
the thought is sublime indeed For the
impenitent, fearful. Yet it is beautiful; it
is sublime, because it is true.
