The Eiectment,

The dusty road is friuged with green;
The hedges shelter from the heat;
Above the woodhinos blossom sweet;
Below, the toiling ant is seen.
And In the hedge, that rises high
Above the tangled grass and flowers,
A little bird bcguilcs the hours
With quiet homely minstrclsy.
IL sings "a day Ia drawing nigh.
Or when the idle moon il bright
Or when the purple fringe of night
Is rising III the eastern sky
Scarce no,iccd--yc, perrhanoe its song
Makes weary feet forget to ache,
Or dull despair again 90 take
Some hope and strength 10 toll along;
Or merely serves to bring smile
On faces never touched by care
On hearts that have not known despair,
To shed n brighter Joy awhile.
But use must rule the woodmnn's bill
Clears the green hank-the bird has fed.
In other bouRhs TO hide its head,
The while its former haunt is still.
Yet hard to think another shade
Can be rs loved rs that one. where
IL watched the primruses appear.
The springing of each tender tlide.
Another hedge may bloom more sweet,
Der richer fields be heard its strains,
Bu, sueeter than all these remains
The memory of its first retreat;
And when alike the new and old
Fade in the autumn. and the blast
Clears the thick trees, the flowers are past,
The grass is withered with the cold
Some pity rises in the mind,
To view the songster, silent now,
Seek shelter from the driving snow,
Or shiyer in the cutting wind.

Coleridge.

1t was in the summer of 1921 that | first
beheld Samuel Taylor Coleridge. 1t was |
on the East Cliff at Ramsgate. He WAS
contemplating the sea under its most at
traotive aspect: in n dazzling sun, with
sailing clouds that drew their purple shad-
ows over its bright green floor, and a mer-
ry breeze of sufficient prevalence to emboss
each wnve with,a silvery foam. He might
possibly have composed upon the occasion
one of the most philosophical and at the
same time most enchanting, of his fugitive
reflections, which he has entitled " Youth
and Age; for in it he speaks of 'airy
cliffs and glittering sands, and
or those trim skifs, unknown of yore,
On winding lakes and rivers wide,
That ask aid of sail or oar,
That fear spite of wind or tide.
As he had no companion, l desired to pay

that question never will be adjusted but by
the women themselves. Justice will con-
tinue in allegiance SO long as they visit with
severity the errors of their own sex and
tolerate those of ours. He then diverged
10 the great mysteries of life and death,

wood River.

The wood river country is sad to be ono #
tie finest regions on this coast that remains
unsettled. There are 10000 acres of %agricll-
tural lands surveyed now awaiting the nus
bandmand's energy to make it an Eden.
Contiguous to these valleys there is an I'M
limited stock range, with plenty of cotton
wood along the streams for fuel and fencing.
and in the near mountains there IS all album
dance of pine and fir suitable for numbering
purposes. The climate is extremely mild /:
adapted to the production Of all the cereals
and vegetables that are cultivated in the
temperate zone. There are also, in the alja-
cent mountains. vast fields of argentiferous
svlphUlets Of galena. A number of these
lodes or belts have this season been dis
covered, and prospecting will be carried on
extensively next season. Wood river is ON
the line Of the Utah and Northern. There
are already ten or twelve farms located, and
it is safe to say that in the spring Of 1880 the
whole valley will be occupied. The great
difficulty heretofore that prevented the settle
ment of this country was the hostile BanMachs
claimed 1t as their reservation. But the late
Bannack war settled the difficulty in favor

The 1Sthm us Of Panama.

As far back as 1851, Francisco Lopez &c

mentions three lines by which he believed the
Atlantic might be connected with the Pacific.
The three routes indicated by this old writer
are those which lately, after a lapse Of three
centuries, have been again examined-name-
ly, the one across the Isthmus Of Tehuanle-
pee, to which Ferdinand Cortcz had devoted
especial attention; the Lake of Nicaragua
route. which had attracted the attention of
Gil Gonzales Davila; and the shorter line
across the lsthmus of Panama, of Francisco
Pizarro. Unfortunately the prosecution of
the enterprise ut a time when Spain still pos
sessed the power, means, and energy to sue.
cesstully accomplish it. was prevented by
ignorance and superstition. Father Jose de
Acosta, a member of the Society of Jesus, IN
a work published by him in 1888, denounced
the then apparently nuch-talkcd-of idea of
cutting a canal from the Atlantic to the Pa
clfic as an impious conception, asserting that
the "pnnishment of heaven would most as
suredly fall upon those who presumed to en-
deavor 10 alter the wise arrangements of
Providence"
