Italian Railroads.

A correspondent, writing from Italy,
says: "Her railroads are magnificent
structures waitirg-rOoms elegantly
frescoed, and the seats of the finest silk
velvet. When the train stops for din
ner, they give you one hOur to eat your
meal. The railroad beds are the
smoothest have ever ridden over the
embankments are all built of solid ma
sonry of the most substantial nature,
and the bridges are all massive stone.
If the bridges, embankments. and road
beds of the New York Central Railroad
were built like those of the High Italy
Railway, that road, with its immense
revenues, could not pay half per cent.
dividend on the cost of it's construc-
ton. The expense of running railroads
in Italy is enormous. Every ton of coal
is bought in England, costing ten dol
lars per ton, and transported at an
enormous cost to Italy. The system is
admirable. OF course / do not like the
carriages but in every other respect
they excel us Americans. IL is impos-
sible for a traveller to get into the wrong
train or ear, even il he does not speak
a word of either French or Italian.
Every man connected with a railroad
wears a uniform, and the guard lifts
his hat to you as he politely examines
your ticket. / have travelled nearly
4, 900 miles in Europe, on many differ
ent roads, and never missed train or
knew one to be five minutes behind
time. Surely such facts attest the ex-
celIence of the railway system in Italy.

A SiIk.I.ined House.

l heard two little boys down by the
brook to-day, talking about their
fathers houses, and boasting how
grand they were. Johnny said his house
had a velvet carpet in the parlor, and
lace curtains at the windows. Willie
said his house had splendid chande-
liers, that sparkled like diamonds and
the walls were beautifully painted. l
thought would like to tell them about
house very much more wonderful
than those they lived in. because 1t is
builded by small insect.
This house is made by a kind of
spider that lives in California, and is
called the mason-spider. His house Is
very marvellous for such q little fellow
to make all by himself, without any
hammer, or saw, or trowel, or axe, or
nails. or plaster, or any such things as
men use in building and yet his man.
sion is fit for little queen for it is
lined throughout with white silk
The spiders house is nearly as large
as hens egg, and is built of a sort of
red clay, almost as handsome as the
brown stone they are so proud OF in
New York city. 1t is cylindrical in
shape. The top opens with little
trap-door, which is fastened with a
hinge, and shuts of itself. The door
and insi lie are lined with the most deli
cate white silk, finer than the costliest
dress ever worn by lady.
Mr.. Spider builds his house in some
crevice, or bores a cylindrical hole in
the clay, so that all is concealed from
view except this tiny trap-dOor. When
he sees any enemy approaching, he
runs quickly to his silk-lined house,
swings open the little door, goes in and
as the door shuts tightly after him,
holds it firmly by placing his claws in
two openings in the white silk lining of
the door, Just large enough to admit
his little hands or feet, whichever You
choose to call them and here, nestled
in this luxurious retreat, he bids def
ance to all intruders.
1 heard all about this spider from n
gentleman who had been to California,
and had brought home one of these
red clay, silk-lined houses He was
showing it to some children as they
were walking near me. / wish you all
could have seen it.-H Nicholas.

in the Spring of 1923, the letter was
sent. He set before her all the trials
and privations to which she would be
exposed he left it to her to decide
whether she could regard his love as
an equivalent for the sacrifices she
would be called upon to make. And
he requested her, if she would consent.
since the affairs of the colony would
not suffer his absence, to take passage
in the first ship bound for the colonies.
The time passed slowly to the Gov
ernor, until, on the 14th of August,
sail was discerned, as yet faint speck
on the horizon. 1t was the ship so
long expected. 1t was in this ship he
expected Alice. Ii she were not there,
there would at least be a written rejec-
tion of his proposal. The whole pOpu-
lation of the town crowded to the land
ing. Governor Bradford stood firm
and erect, conspicuous among the little
crowd. When the vessel touched the
shore all hurried on board. The Gov
ernor passed from one to another with
warm welcomings but his eye watched
for Alice. He sees her not. His hope
has gone out. at is Gods will" says
the devout Puritan. Just then fe-
male arcends the stair from the cabin.
She is taller than the Alice of his re
membrance. Strange, for though he
knew years must have changed her, yet
she had always risen before his mind as
the slender girl from whom he had
parted. And here she stands the beau
tiful, stately, dignified woman. Prob
ably she too had her surprise. For
moment the pair looked at each other,
and then civilian % "Alice !" burst
from their lips, and the hearts so long
sundered were united. That very eve
ming the marriage took place. There
was Joy of heart, but no extravagsnt
display. Long and happy was the
union here consummated. Thirty four
additional years was the good governor
spared to the colony whose prosperity
he did so much to promote. His wife
survived him fifteen years. She was
well educated and dignified in deport-
ment, and did much for the improve
ment of the rising generation. Pilgrim
Hall stands upon land formerly in her
possession. 1t is recorded of her that
she was good matron, and much loved
while she lived and heartily lamented
when she died--Potter's american
MOnthlU.

And Alice Waring pinned rose upon

And Alice Waring pinned rose upon
his breast and kissed him goodbye.
How anxiously during the long winter
night Alice Waring would sit by the
hearth and ponder upon her soldier
lover. And how nervously her hand
would tremble when she read the news
from the ''front.
Christmas was coming apace al
ready the green wreaths were being
woven to decorate the sanctuary in
commemoration of the advent of the
Blessed Redeemer and while some
hands were engaged in identifying the
temple of the Most High, others were
remorselessly Staying their kith and kin
in blood-red vengeance.
1t is not yet time to have quite for
gotten that thirteenth day of December,
1862, at Fredericksburg. How many a
chair it left vacant in our broad land.
How many a grief-stricken heart ached
and ached, till God in his graciousness
sent the Angel of Peace to still its
beatings forever.
Where the fight was thickest the men
could scarcely breathe for the sui
phurous canopy, there fought two
brothers but they battled on different
sides of the question-and yet they
fought well.
And when the guns grew feeble and
the rattle of musketry failed, there was
hush in the very, air. for the Angel
of Death was stalking over the scene.
By-and-by they came to collect the
wounded and bury those past relief,
and they found Horace and Morris
Timberlake within an arms length OF
each other, near enough to have fallen
on each others neck and embraced
had they been living men.
