LOVE AND REASON.

BY ROSA VERTNER JEFFREY.
Young Love went sailing without fear
Upon a lotus laaf,
Though Reason said, "Pray let me steer,
Or you will come to grief
Then laughed the saucy god and cried,
"You look too grum and blue,
Go walk along the rivers side,
I1lpaddle my canoe
So Reason, plodding on the shore,
Watched Loves frail shallop floating,
And thought, So Though walking is q bore,
It's very risky boating.
Halo young imp, you will be wrecked,
Your bark is very frail." -
But Love sang gayly, II expect
To have a jolly sail - A
Keep off the rocks and cataracts,
They oft beguile stranger 14.r
Quoth Love- truce to stupid facts
Irather like the danger. # #
The stream is smooth, the sky is clear,
You need not come to measure a.ss2hs
The crystal deeps through which steer.
ny pilot shall be Pleasure!'
On with the tide did Cupid drift, ~
His hand at Reason kissing,
To where those un-lt waters swift
Swift down the rocks went kissing;
A warning scorned, danger spurned,
OF which he saw no token eA
Loves lotus leaf was overturned,
His fairy rudder broken;
The gossamer sail was torn to strings;
He seized on Pleasure, crying.
Come. let us rise Though. dfenched my wing
They're light enough for flying.
From yonder bark-to ruin whirled--
We shall escape in season.
LII fywith Pleasure through the world,
And leave my wrecks to Reason

Petroleum Pipe Line.

The preliminary survey for the new
pipe line between Buffalo and the Brad
ford oil region has just been completed.
The route runs direct from Bradford to
Killbuck or Great Valley; thence takes
direct line over Fish hill to Union
Corners, in the town of Mansfield.
From this point it goes to East Otto
Corners, thence to Morton's Corners,
Erie county; thence to Whites Corners,
town of Hamburg, and from this point
it follows the line of the Buffalo and
Jamestown road to Buffalo. The high
est point is in the northeast part of the
town of Little Valley, the elevation be-
ing 700 feet above the Allegheny river.
It is the intention OF the company to
lay four-inch pipe between the two
points. Through all the open lands it
will be placed under ground. Large
refneries will be located at Buffalo.

The Brooklyn Bridge.

The East river bridge, from New
York over to Brooklyn, seems likely to
meet with more formidable trouble than
has yet beset it. The bridge is by no
means finished, and success is doubted
by many, as vast amount of money
has been sunk in the affair. A new
bridge is projected, to cross at Seventy
seventh street, resting its center on
Blackwell's island. From the large
number of designs and estimates which
have already been made, it appears that
the bridge will not cost over So, 500, 900.
It will be private affair, and is de-
signed especially for traffic, so that
through connection with Brooklyn by
the Long Island road may be made
from the Grand Central depot without
change of cars. There will be carriage
and pedestrian ways, and elevators at
each end for raising passengers to it's
level, which will be 1876 feet above the
river channel. It is expected to be
finished in two years. --NeaU York Letter.

Curious Matrimonial Complication.

Recently the possessor of house,
two acres of land, wife and four chill
dren, residing in the town of Granville,
Washington county, N. Y, became jeal-
GUS of younger brother who was a
frequent visitor. The husband remon-
strated, but to no avail, and separation
was at last agreed upon. At this junct-
ure the younger brother came to the
rescue, and the compromise was in this
wise: The husband agreed to relinquish
all claim upon the wife, his children
and the homestead, while the younger
brother assumed the necessary response
bility. The brother and forsaken wife
went to Whitehall, and were there united
in marriage. A few days elapsed, when
husband No. l put in an appearance
again. He solicited an interview with
his wife, reminded her of the love of
other days, and besought her to return.
She found it impossible to resist the
ardent appeal, and husband No. 2, un-
able to interfere. consented to their de-
parture, he meanwhile retaining DOS
session of the house and two acres.
