STREET Crossings. - Great com
plant is made daily by our citizens of
the terrible condition Of u street
crossings. especially in the suburbs.
Beyond that portion of the city that
is lighted by the street lamps, it is a
very serious undertaking to attempt
to get over a street crossing without
getting over shoe-top in mud or slusL.
We can suggest one remedy. which
we think worthy the attention Of the
City Council. We have noticed, dur
ing the present Winter, that the new
gunwales put down by the Street
Superintendent are only sixteen
inches ia width, and as only one is
put down at a crossing, it is not wide
enough 20 afford the accommodation
that is desired. When street cross
ings arc laid down. they are generally
put there to remain until they rot.
Fancy two ladies meeting on q six
teen,inoh gungale, and then imagine
how they will ever pass each other
without enc of them stepping TO M
side, thereby, probably, running a pair
of CATERS. or soiling elegant aud cost
~ skirts.
On enc occasion We inquired Of the
Street Superintendent why be did rot
lay down wider gunwales, and he in
formed us that he had 10 authority to
do so, We hope that the Committee
on Streets AID Alleys will Instruct the
Street Superintendent hereafter to
put down wider crossings. and such an
order will be gratefully appreciated
by all, and especially by those who
live on streets that are not lighted by
the gas lamps. In places where mar
row gunwales have been put down
another should be placed alongside.

BY DR.. BORRNE.

Masonry is the holy spring where faded
beauty reformed her image, darkened wis
dom her light, and weakened power her
strength. Masonry is the refuge of threat.
ened fidelity, the mediator of offended limo
cence, and the recompense OF unrewarded
love. The mingled rights of life she has to
regulate, the prejudiced judgment OF passion
to punish, the actions of the heart to scruti-
nize. What the clumsy hand of ignorance
has thrown together, she shall separate and
revive with her genius; what the fire of
passion has embraced too holly, she shall
cool with her mildness; and what has been
juged too severely by the ignorant multi
tude, she shall cover with her shield. She
throws down the barriers which the preju-
dice of mankind has erected between man
and man, and tears away the golden gar
ment that covers the soulless body. She
arraigns heart against heart, spirit against
spirit, strength against strength, and gives
to the worthiest the prize; she teaches us to
value the tree for its fruit, not for the soil
on which it grows, nor for the hand which
planted it; she protects fortune against the
arrows of malicious chance, seizes the rud-
der in the storms OF life, and brings the
leaky ship into safe harbor.
