ENGINEER ROEBLING.

Washington A. Roebling is hopeless
invalid, unable to leave his room. The
terrible caisson disease, which attacked
him soon after the construction of the
caisons began, has made him physi-
cal wreck beyond cure. The bridge cost
his fither his life, through an accident
bv which his foot was crushed. and lock
jaw was produced. That occurred in
1869, while the bridge was still little
more than possibility. Washington
Roetling Immediately took his fathers
place and carried on his plans. He had
worked hard for about three years when
one afternoon in 1872, he was carried
out of the New York caisson more dead

could do but little for him. He struggled

fering. But he would not give up

And halg demure, shines for a little

And hath no wonder when the moons fair

Shines in upon his dreams and makes them
bright,

Shine out amidst the shadows dark and

For love flies farther than the lonely light
That flies through ali tho wingless ways of
space,
And love flies far beyond the wind and night,
And fur beyond the dark seas, wherein
grace
rs not; nor doth day make them bright;
Love sees beyond them all-the loving face.
Sweet angel mne is all the fair days grace
That makcth all things fun of golden light
Worth the still time, that cometh for IA space,
When all the earnest stars are soft and
bright,
And love looks up, and sees the loving face.
