RIVER IMPROVEMENT AND BARGE

The system pur.ued by the Mississippi
River Commission, which has for its object
the removal OF the shoals and bars and
Swallows that obstruct navigation, is what is
called the "jstty system" 1t is so called
because it is the same as that on which Capt,
Eads constructed the famous jettie,, by
which ses vessels drawing twenty-six feet
now find free access TO the wharves of New

places where it is unusually wide. There
the force OF the current decreases, and the
mud held in suspension falls to the bottom

Soft-colored like your facei
You like themr shall pick one

They are lovely, but they prick one
And they always Jade so soon.
Here's your rose. think love like tss is,
That buds between two signs,
And flowers between two kisses,
AND when 1t S gathered dies.
That love should fade in ones sight;

Off while its bloom is bright
The frail life will not linger,
Best throw the rose away,
Though the thorns having scratched ones hngt
Will hurt for half day.

Fade and its petals fail9

You may be right after all. Love in IdIenes,
