uEroRE THE BARRIER.

There, in the Glowing light which fell upon him.
Showed. deep and dark. the scars OF earthly ba'ie
With giant hand upon the massive barrier,
He stood as stand the conquer awaiting
The Just reward for long and worthy service.
Strange mrSic from within rose slowly over
The awful battlcments. and reused his Spirit
TO the full magnitude of manly grandeur.
Then nightly upon the holt he lifted. o..
Now gently from the lower air.
Like an embodiment of prayer.
Arose and lighted at his feet.
A child with face unspoken sweet;
She .azed on him with wondering eyes
OF those that are born for paradise;
One stcadtast look of the look of God
The door was touched with all angels rod,
And through the walls a. of solid sun
The warrior followed Chiist's " little one,

The HOUSES OF 1776.-Of architec-
ture, let it be remembered, there, was
little or none. The house was built
simply and substantially, for use and
not for display. The timbers were SO
large and 80 sound that even the wear
and tear of hundred yards have often
left them unimpaired. Bricks were
often imported from England. Win
dows were small, and the panes dim
inutive, 6x8, 7x9 and 8x1O being the
common sizes of French window-glass
advertised for sale. The house was
generally square, the walls of exceed
ing thickness; the chimney rose massive
and capacious in the center; the IN
terror walls were panneled; and the
great oaken beams crossed the ceiling
in plain sight. The center OF the house,
and of the family life which it sheltered
was the open wood fire, which blazed
cheerfully in the huge Fireplace OF the
living room. Stoves were unknown;
and no furnace sent its currents OF
oyerheated air to hall of chamber.
Cooking was done in tin kitchens, or
turn-spits placed before the fire, or in
pots hung by links and hooks from. the
swinging crane, or in the great brick
oven which the chimney-work included
on one side.-Ed,card Abbohs "Rer'

s@ Frederick William Robertson's
posthumous volume contains this pas
sage" In the darkest hour through
which human soul caii pass, what
ever else is doubtful, this at least IS
certain. If there be no God and no
future state, yet, even then, it IS better
to be generous than selfish, better to
be chaste than licentious, better to be
true than false, better to be brave than
be coward.

T The Suez Canal is one hundred
miles long, one hundred feet wide, and
twenty.six feet deep. Its construction
occupied fourteen years and cost $780,
100000. Sometimes as many as 10000
men were employed on the work at one
time, together with an immense number
of dred ging implement and other labor
saving machines. A vessel going from
London to India through this canal saves
distance of 5000 miles.

The BIGGEsr TREE-The largest tree
standing in the United States is on the
head of Bear Greek, north fork of the
Tule river. The exect diameter Of this
immense redwood giant we do not re-
member, but believe it is something
over 46 in diameter A San Francisco
party, having made arrangements to re-
present this monster at the Centennial,
have given the contract to a Tulare
man, Mr.. }. c. Cramer, to remove the
bark with eight inches of the wood from
the surface os the tree, cut, or stripped
rather, like saves of a barrel, without
telling the tt &c. These pieces are to
be cut 40 feet long, and when put to-
gether in Philadelphia will form two
rooms inside; 20 foot high. In these
rooms cabinets of California specimens
and curiositiks will be neatly and ap-
propriately arranged.
EThe experiments with the great
eighty-one ton gun have been resumed
in England, and the charger increased
up to 27O pounds of the 1.5-inch power,
which gave the high velocity of l .491
feet per second, with a pressure of only
PIG tons to tho square inch. So far
the experiments have been decided
success, the gun in all respects having
realized the expectations of the most
scientific artillerists.
