MOONLIGHT.

Where is a finer, grander sight.
Than that the quiet mellow light.
or Ofnight's bright silvery orb, the moon
Discloses? To me dey comes too soon,
AS oft I've gazed at Silly night
Out ON the stars, and Heavens bright,
And felt the breezes, gently sweeping,
Ger natures face so calmly sleeping,
And saw how still and weird the scene
Disclosed by every moonbeam's eleam.
1--we thought that man was doomed to mis-,
A share of Heaven in missing this.
While these soft rays are cast around,
What mortal m an could there be found
Who would not sit In quiet musing
All busy thoughts or active losing?
IT'S there the gray OWLS lonely hooting,
AS Ii with hidden demons mooting.
IT'S then the gurgling streamlet's song,
Now low and soft, now loud and strong,
AS borne aloft on varying winds,
Its every strain an echo fnds,-
Breaks softly on the willing ear,
Which lists without single fear.
All other sounds of life are dead;
Nights fearful Stiffness reigns instead.
The darkness is but half dispelled,
Yet by the moonlight is. beheld
Ascene so softened by its ray,
That harsh defects, which light of day
Too plainly shows are hid. from youf
And leave instead a mystic view.

Connecting the Oceans.

The greatest barrier to navigation
from one side of the globe to the other
is the long and rugged isthmus which
connects North and South America.
This can be spanned by railroads with
out any vast difficulty, but the barrier
then would only be reduced, not re-
moved. If it comes within the power
of the engineer to cut through that
bar in the pathway of commerce, and
allow vessels to pass without discharg-
ing their freight, such an achieve
ment would eclipse in grandeur any,
thing that has been done even in this
age of wondrous mechanical exploits.
Two surveys have been going on dur
ing the past year to ascertain the fea-
sibility of this undertaking-one at
Darien and one at Tehauntepec. The
report of the chief engineer of the Te-
hauntepec expedition is accompanied
by twenty maps and profiles, and
many calculations intended to show
that ship canal across that isthmus,
is not only practicable, but that the
obstacles in its way are of the most
ordinary character. A canal can
start, he says, at the head.waters of
ship navigation on the Coatzacoalcos
river, follow the valley of its chief
boundary and the dividing ridge of
Tarifa, and thence descend through
the pass of Tarifa and cross the plains
to Salina Cruz, on the Pacific. The
whole distance would be l72 miles, in
the course of which 1872 feet of eleva-
tion would have to be overcome by
locks.
Commander Selfridge, at Darien,
has also found a pathway for naviga-
tion from sea to sea. He would as
cend the Atrato river from the Gulf OF
Darien to the mouth of the Mapipi,
$50 miles. The Atrato is navigable
all this distance for vessels of the
largest size, so that canal is neces-
sary for only thirty-two miles, from
the mouth of the Mapipi to Cupice
Bay, on the Pacific side. Twenty
three miles of this space is q fiat
plain, with rise of only ninety feet,
and no difficulties to overcome. All
so far is commonplace. and there is
nothing to excite the determination
and pluck of Yankee, but the rest of
the way presents something worthy
of his attention. The proposed canal
is suddenly stopped by a beetling
ridge of hills 600 feet high, and in or
der to reach the ocean it must be sew
cred. For three miles there must he
cut 125 feet deep, and the remaining
| five miles of rock must be tunnelled.
Here is something worth while, but
after Mont Gents and the Hoosac bore
it is not enough to intimidate Ameri-
can enterprise and daring.

SIXTY THREE JANUARYS. - The
New Bedford (Mass.) Mercury pub
fishes table showing the mean, and
maximum, and minimum tempera-
lures of the month of January from
1918 to 1875 inclusive, as observed by
Samuel Rodman, of that city. From
this table it appears that the average
of mean observations of January for
the past siXty-three years is little
less than 2S.40, which is $50 higher
than the mean of the January last
past, which was 21.60. The lowest
mean was that of 1870, 1867, and the
highest was that of 1868, $3.50; the
difference or range being 1862. There
have been four colder Januaries than
that of the present year, these being
that of 1910, 2l.50; that of 1874, 2l.4o;
that of 1856, 2lo; that of 1857, 1852.
The minimum of January, for the
whole term of sixty-three years was,
in 1859, 1919 the maximum in 1888,
640; the difference or range being 7710
The greatest range of temperature in
January of any one year was that of
1859, 6330;; and the least range that
of 1920, 2so. The mean of observation
for the first nine days of February,
1875, was 1S.110. The mean of Feb.
8 was a small fraction Q7-1OO) of de-
gree below zero.
