The Mont CenIs Tunnel.

The Mont Cents tunnel ID now complete,
the last section having been successfully Dor.
ed. The work is perhaps more wonderful
triumph of genius and perseverance, than the
Atlantic Telegraph or the Suez Canal, Its
length is seven miles and three .ffths, it is 26l
feet in width and 10 feet inches in height,
aud will carry double line Of rails from
France, under the Alps, to Italy. The tun-
mel, which is of course unfinished as yet, has
been cut by atmospheric machinery through
the solid rock, schist, limestone, and quartz,
the air which moved the chisels escaping from
lts compression to supply the lungs Of tho
workmen. The work has been several years
IN progress, without reckoning the time spent
In preliminary investigations. TIE railway
up the Sion valley will before long carry its
passengers straight through from Fourneaux
to Bardoneche, and il will he possible to 20
from Paris to Milan without climbing an
Alpine pass, or even changing the railway
carriage. SO far as railway transit 10 con.
cerned there are therefore no more Alps. The
great mountain chain has been finally rsmov-
ed. This immense work has been carried out
under vast difficulties. There could be no
shafts, as in the short tunnels which pierce
our little English hills, and IL The dstris had
to be carried back to the entrance. 1t vas
begun at both ends, aud the werkmsn who
thus started seven miles, apart, with noun
tain.ch between them, have met = aocu-
rately as though there had been but hill

Only Believe.

Towards the close of life of devotedness
70 uod' that eminent minister, Dr. Payson,
observed that Christians might avoid much
trouble and inconvenience if they would only
believe what they profess, that God is able to
make them supremely happy in Himself. in.
dependent Of all circumstances. nGod has
been depriving me-" he wrote, of one mer.
cy after another but as one was removed
He has come in and filled up its place. Now
when ! am a cripple, and not able to move,
| am happier than ever was in nv life be.
fore or ever expected to be; and If | had
believed this twenty years ago, might have
been spared much anxiety. If God had told
me some time ago that He was about to make
me as happy as l could be in this world, and
then had told me that lie should begin by
crippling me in all my limbs, and removing
me from my usual sources of enjoyment, |
should have thought it very strange mode
OF o., accomplishing this purpose. Aud how is
Ills wisdom manifest even in this ?"

An Apt Illustration.


Rev. DR.. McCosh, in recent lecture at
New York, alluded to the four gospels as
follows:
We have four gospels, and the account
which they give isone. There is beautiful
unity and consistency in the character of our
Lord which is accepted by the whole four
But il is said that there are contradicting
discrepancies when compared with one an
other. There are differences, certainly. There
is not that labored consistency which is al
ways found in trumped up story the wri-
ters are artless in everything but especially
20 that they we're conscious Of speaking the
truth, and so were not careful to reconcile
what they say in one place with what they
say in another. But there were no real con-
tradic,ions Of Importance there were only
such differences as would be likely to exist in
men looking at the same thing from different
aspects He DR. McCosh) once passed
through street and saw house on fire half
mile off. As he happened to have an off.
cial interest in that direction he proceeded
toward the spot, and meeting a person who
seemed to be coming from the FIRE he asked
him where it was, and was told a certain street
he met another and asked him and he told him
a different street; third whom he asked told
him it was nearly extinguished, and a fourth
that it was burning more freely than ever.
1t was hard to reconcile these extremely vary
ing statements, but on arriving at the spot he
found that all four had spoken the truth.
The house on fire was on a corner, aud so on
two streets, and had been nearly extinguished,
but had broken out again fercely. Now no.
where in the gospels do we find such discrep-
ancies as were here found in the statements
Of these four men.

We give quaint poem on the hindranccs 10 the Al
wcr Of prayer by good old George Herbert, entitled
TINE METHOD
Poor heart, lament
For since tbs sod efuseth still
There Is some rub, come discomfort
Which cOols his Will
Thy Father could
Quickly eGoct what thou dost move
For lis Il p0WgR and sure ne ,ronW
For lie u Low.
Go search this thing,
Tumble thy breast, and turn thy book
" thou hadst lost glove, or ring,
Nouldst thou not look
What do soc
Written above thorei-" Yesterday
did behave me carelcssly,
Whom did pray
And should Gods car
To such lndlhorents chained be-
Who do not their own motions hear
l. God les free
But stay, what's there ,--
Late when would have somothing done,
had motion 10 forbear
Yet went on"
And should Gods car,
Which needs not man, be tied 10 those
VINO hear not Him. but quickly hear
Ills utter f0esi
Then once more pray
Down with thy knees up with thy voice.
Seek pardon first and God Will ay-

evening:
FORT PARKER, Jan. 6, 1871.
W. F. Wheeler, United States Marshal
DEAR SIR | went to-day TO the
Bannack camp with two men by the
name of Silford Kutch aud Thomas
Cutler, that Col. Wbam, the Indian
Agent at Wild River sen, up here to
get little girl that they think is white,
who was captured in 1862 on Raft
river, by the Bannacks. | succeeded
in fiuding her and have her here in my
room, and they will start back in ew
days with her. Her name is McIntyre.
Gen. Wall may know something about
the matter. She is about fourteen
years of age, | think, but small of
her age she is quite fair, and her hair
is light ; she is much sun burnt, which
gives her the appearance of being a
quarter breed, which the indisns claim
she is. l had no trouble with the
Indians in getting them to give her up,
and she was willing to come, and 90
back to the Wind River Agency.
When spoke to Tim Doy and Torgee
(the chiefs) they were surprised, but
after explained the matter to them
they said it was all right, if ! said 80,
for they had known me long time,
