The fnter-ocaanic canal across tho Isthn1ns
Of Darien, which HEnnANpo Con1Ez moro
than $50 years ago suggested to tho Spanish
Government, is at last no longer q project
but reality. upon the frat steps of which
tho projectors aro now entering. Looking
ut the map, tho istlmus appears 80 narrow
that ono might well ash why It was not cut
through long ago. The great achievements
Of tho world, howovor, always mature slowly
md develop through centuries Of prelimi-
nnry preparation. In this oase 1t was naces-
sary 10 whit until human science Ind 30 far
advanced as to overcome tho barriers Of Ma.
ture, which in tho days Of ConqEz and oven
in our own time appeared insurnountab1o.
Tho lofty chain Of mountains running along
the isthmus las always confronted tho bold
est projectors: but soEenco has at Inst reached
That point where difficulties at ono timo
deemed insupsrahle are easily vanquishod,
and thus what for centuries has been o
dream becomes reality. Tho courageous
skill which constructed the 8uez Canal and
made Africa continent does not hesitate to
divorce North md South Amorica, whose

Nature, aud make two new contiuonts of

way from tho Mediterranean to tho Rcd Sea
through countless difficulties las not hesi-
tated to grapple with tho still moro difficult
taak of dividing the Isthn1us OF Dasion,
though the way loads through the very rocks
that form tho foundation Of tho Cordleras

A Quick Witted Boy.

;SDuring the railroad riots in Pitsburg,
in the summer of 1877, it became neces-
sary to beat hasty, retreat from the gem
eral Office Of the Pan Handle Railway
Company, and the premises were 'evacu-
-ated" in double-quick time. In the con-
fusion, a regulator clock, used by the super
intendent was actually left behind in the
lower hall, forgotten when the last load
left the building, which was at that time
Lrurrouhded by the mob. A youth still
in his teens, messenger in the freight
department, lingering in the doomed
building, spied it, recognized IT and was
about to take it; but q bnrly rough saw
it at the same time, and seized it. It was
as much as ones life was worth to expos
tulate with the plunderer, but the boy
pluckily laid hold Of the timepiece and
claimedit as his property. The ''p4ug
ugly consigned him to the lower regions
and shook him off. Nothing daunted, the
boy tried another tack. "See here" he
said, "that clock won't do you no good
It's made to keep OoluQsbas time" .'Thun-
der" ans cred the rough, lis that sol
Then I don't ant no part Of it. Get out
with it, The boy started, ran the gaunt

friends in safety with the rescued clock
which is now doing good service again

A MODERN SERMON.

On a Tertmot Selected from the Scriptures.
The following, says an English paper, ex-
hibits the method upon which the average
parson constructs his deIectable discourse !:
s. Brethren, the words of my text are
"'Old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cup
board,
To get her poor dog bone;
But when she got there the cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.
g These beautiful words, dear friends,
carry with them solemn lesson. pro-
pose this evening to analyze their meaning,
and to attempt to apply il, lofty as il may
be, to our every day life. s3s..
= Old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cup
board,
To get her poor dog bone.'
ssMother Hubbard, you see, was old;
there being no mention of others, we may
presume that she was alone; widow
friendless, old solitary widow. Yet did she
despair? Did she sit down and weep, or read
novel, or wiring her hands? No! she went
TO the CUPBOARD. And hete observe that she
went to the cupboard. She did not hop, OF
skip, or run. or jump, or use any peripatet,
10 artifce; she solely and merely went to the
cupboard.
We have seen that she was old and lonely
and we now further see that she was poor
For, mark, the words are 'the cupboard.
Not zone of the cupboards,' or the right
hand Cupboard or the left-hand cupboard
or the one above, or the one below, or the
one under the floor, but just the cupboard

Josh Billings Advice TO the "Quire'
Singer.

The first thing to make a good quire
singer is to giggle little. Put up your
hair in curl papers every Friday mite,
sozc to have It IN good shape on Sunday
morning If your daddy is rich, you can
BUY some store hair; if he is very rich,
buy some more, and build it up high
upon your head; then get high-prised
bonnet that runs up very high, at the high
part Of it, and git the milliner to plant
some high crowned artefshals onto the
highest part of it. This, will help YOU
sing high, as sophrano is the highest
part.
When the tune is Civ out, don't pay at
tention to it, and then giggle. Giggle a
good eel.
Whisper to the girl next you that En-
Jones, which sets on second sect from the
front on the left-hand side, has her bunnit
with the same color exact she had last
year, and then put up your book to your
face and giggle.
Object to evary tune unless there is a
solow into it for the sophrano. Golf and
ham good eel before you begin to sing.
When you sing solow shake the arta-
fshels off your bunnit, and when you
come to a high tone brace yourself back
a little, twist your head to one side, and
open your mouth the widest on that side,
shet the eye on the same side jest tri-
phale, and then put in for dear life.
When the preacher gifts under he'd way
with his preachin, write a note onto the
blank leaf Of your note book. That's
what the leaf was made fer. Git sum-
body to pass it to sumbody else and you
