A Fable.

While was walking in the garden one
bright morning, a breeze came through
and set all the flowers and leaves fiut-
tering. Nov, that is the way flowers
talk, so | pricked up my ears and lis
tened.
Presently an old elder tree said !:
Flowers, shake off your eaterpillars.
Why said a dozen, altogether, for
they were like some children who al
ways say why2" when they are told to
do any thing. Bad children, those!
The elder said: " II you don't they II
gobble yon up"
SO the flowers set themselves q shaking
till the caterpillars we're shaken of
In one Of the middle beds there was Q
beautiful rose, who shook off all but one,
and she said to herself; "Oh, that's a
beauty III keep that one" The elder
overheard her, and called out: Zone
caterpillar is enough to spoil you"
But" said the rose, look at his
brown and crimson fur, and his beauti-
ful black eyes, and. scores Of little feet
| want to keep him. Surely one won't
hurt me.
A few mornings after, / passed the
rose again There was not a whole leaf
on her; her beauty was gone, she was
all but killed, and had only life enough
to weep over her folly, while the tears
stood like dewdrops on her tattered
leaves.
ALAS, / didn't think one caterpillar
would rain mel One sin INDUCED has
ruined many.-AnOn.

A GREAT WORK.
How distractions are Being Re-
moved from the James River.


The Richmond Wing gives an interest
ing account Of Professor Mailletert 5
operations on James river. After de-
scribing the sensation produced by the
shock OF an explosion under water, which
was followed by the upheaval Of broken
timbers. mud and stone, and resulted in
the removal of two cribs, about two
hundred yards distant from each other,
II saws. hThe surface Of the river in
every direction was by this time covered
with fragments of huge timbers, which
for nearly ten years have obstructed
navigation and perpetuated the energy
and earnestness of our Confederate en-
gineers. Where there were only three
feet water before, there are now eighteen
feet. There were originally twenty cribs
placed in three rows across the channels
of these nineteen have been removed by
Professor Maillefert, and only one re-
mains, viz: that on which rests the wreck
of the Confederate gunboat Northamp-
ton. This, although not in the con-
tract, will be removed at an early day.
These cribs are eighteen by twenty-five
feet, and are twenty eight deep. Their
wooden frames, which were safely secured
by strong iron rods, we're constructed
Of timber "a inches by Is inches, and
were filled with stone-the estimate for
each crib being 400 tons. 1t usually re-
auires four explosions to q crib, although
Yesterday three were found sufficient in
one instance These suffice not only to
break up the wooden framework but to
create four craters in the bottom of the
river Immediately at the angles of the
crib into which the stone is thrown by
repeated shocks, thereby preventing it
from becoming an obstruction in the
channel. All of the floating timber and
other debris is removed to the shore, and
such logs as are sobbed and sink are
iished up and similarly disposed of. In
addition to the distractions named,
Professor Maillefert has removed from
the channel at Drewry's Bluff the
wrecks of the Curtis Peck, two schooners,
two barges and one lighter, all Of which,
except the steamer, were tilled with
stone before being sunk. The con-
tract required him to complete this
important work, which was to give
us eighteen feet of water in channel
$50 feet wide, in ninety days, ending the
10Th of the present month. And, al
though the weather has been such as TO
occasion all sorts of delays, he will be
able 10 complete it as promised. The
work at Drewry's Bluff, for example, not
including the removal of the wreck of
the Northampton, will require, it is esti-
mated, two days more that at Grave
yard Bend about the same time, and
that at Warwick Bar perhaps less. In
this connection, we are gratitied at being
able to state by authority that the work
OF enlarging the Dutch Gap canal is
now under contract - the American
Dredging Company becoming the con-
tractors-and operations will be com
menced early next month. The canal
is to be 100 feet wide at the bottom and
$50 feet wide at the top, with depth of
fifteen feet

Reporting fires in the oIden Time.

A curious account Of fire which hap
pened in London in 1852 is given in the
Gentleman's Magazine for November,
1924. 1t appears to be extracted from a
ouarto volume entitled "a Record Of
the Mercies of God. 1t says: "a
fearful fire began in Biggs' house. 1t
burnt his house and the next; but Riggs,
his wife, child and maids escaped. The
fire could no. be quenched until it had
consumed all the houses from st. Mag
nus to the first open space. There was
water enough there, but it could not be

pipes cut, even water swept down with
brooms; but it was Gods will it should
not prevail; for the three engines, though
excellent things, did not prosper; they
were all broken. Some lost their lives.

of next day, till all was pulled down; yet

crying for water waterl Iarnse about
one of the clock and looked down Fish
street hill, and did behold so fearful and
dreadful fire Wanting itself over topps
of houses, like captaine hourishing and
displaying his banner. and seeing so
much means, and little good it did, it
made me think of the FIRE which the Lord
threatened against Jerusalem for the
breach of his Sabbath day. The brewers
brought abundance Of water in vessels on
their draies, which did good. Had the
wind been high, think the whole city
would have been endangered, for in
Thames street there is much pitche,
tarre, rosen and oyle. Therefore, as God
remembers mercy in justice, let us re-
member thankfalpess in sorrow.
