THRoUGH THE MoUNTAIN.--Massa-
chusetts is about to reap the harvest OF
her twenty years tedious, patient labor,
prosecuted with many discourgements
and an expenditure of twenty millions,
in the work of tunneling more than four
miles through the granite rock of the
Hoosac mountain. The Green mountain
barrier, with its eight feet grade, that
has 50 largely excluded her since the rail-
road era, from participation in the trade
of the vast productive and growing West
is now removed, and the iron horse from
Boston Bay will soon be bounding through
the mountain covered roadway out into
the valley Of the Hudson, and ON by the
great lakes to the heart Of the continent
and across to its western verge. The
Hoosac tunnel opens gateway for Bos-
ton railway traffic with all the continent
west of the Green mountain range, that
runs down the st. Lawrence on the north,
to Long Island Sound, heretofore cutting
Off nearly all New England, with its vast
manufacturing industries and energies,
from the possibility of profitable compe-
tition for this traffic, and giving New
York the advantage of what she would
not otherwise have secured. Boston is a
days steaming nearer Havre, Liverpool
London, Amsterdam, Antwerpand Ham
burg, than is New York, and by the
Hoosac tunnel, rs near or nearer, to the
populous and growing Northwest. Bos-
ton has the capital, the commercial ca
pacity, and with its new facilities, will
compete for and divert to its port an i'm
portant share Of the trade now enjoyed
by New York and Philadelphia, and its
growth in the next twenty years will far
exceed the rate for any like period of the
past.

baby's boot and a skein Of wool,
Faded, and soilod and soft
Odd things, you say, and doubt you're right
Round seamans neck this stormy night,
Up in the yards alott.
Most likely it's folly, but mate, look here,
When first went to sea,
A woman stood on yon far off strand,
With a wedding ring on her soft white hand
Which hung so close to me.
My wifo-God bless her the day before,
She sat beside my foot
And the sunlight kissed her yellow hair,
And the dainty fingers, deft and fair,
Knitted baby's boot
The voyage was over; came on shore;
What think you, found there?
A Grave the daisios had sprinklod white,
A cottage empty and dark as night,
And this beside the chair.
The little boot, twas unfinished still
Tho tangled skoin lay near;
But the knittor had gone away to rest,
with the babe asleep on her quiet breast,
Down in the churchyard drear.

Coop STEERS" ! liked your sermon
very much to-day, with II single excep-
tion," said II worthy pastor to minister
who had occupied his pulpit portion OF
the Sabbath.
Well, what was the exception ?"
81 think you used too many technical
phrases"
"Did /? | didn't think Of it,"
You repeatedly spoke of drawing in
ferences. Now this is Greek to many
hearers"
so, no most every one, OF course
knows what we mean by drawing infer
ences."
You are mistaken, brother, as sure
as you live do not believe that one
half ofmy congregation would understand
the phrase"
You certainly cannot be right"
"Now there is Mr.. Smith," pointing
out man just turning the corner, "who
is quite an intelligent farmer; we will
overtake him, and will as< him if he
can draw an inference, and | do not be-
leve he will understand me-"
Accordingly the ministers quickened
their pace, and as they came up to Mr.
Smith, his pastor said to him:
" Brother Smith, can you draw an in
ference ?'
Brother Smith, thus summarily inter
rogatcd, looked at his pastor for some
fifteen seconds quite surprised, and then
rather hestatingly said:
Well, suppose could. I've got q
pair Of steers that can draw anything to
which they are hitched, but shouldn't like

How MUCu THE Hoo WEIGuED.-A
bluff looking man, in farmers work-day
costume, entered railway car Mt way
station. The car was well filled, all the
seats being occupied but one, which was
half filled by finely dressed exquisite.
The farmer seeing the only chance for a
seat, asked the exquisite if tother half OF
that seat was "took." Receiving n neg
ative answer, he responded, "Wall, then
| reckon IN squat"
Like most Of our hardy yeomanry, he
was inclined to be sociabe.
"Snug Winter morning." said he.
No response.
"Shouldnt wonder if we had some
snow aiorc night"
Still no response from exquisite, who
looked out of the rear window, evidently
much annoyed.
After several attempts to elicit some
reply, the farmer gave yawn, and qui-
city remarked:
hlleu II nOB yeSIeTuhyi oet you Gun
guess how much he weighed"
"Drven almost to desperation, the
poor fellow said tartly:
"Four hundred pounds"
Ynwning again" No, didn't weigh
that"
"Well, three hundred and fifty, then"
Another ynwn r." No, didn't weigh
three and half"
Very impaticntly -" Three hundred"
Iawning still -" No, not that much
Almost ready to oexplode-" How much
did your old hog weigh, anyhow ?"
Waal, he wa'ant much Of hog, and
| didn't weigh him."
