An Old Prophecy Fulfilled.

In the New England Magazine for
September, 1922 magazine edited by
J. T. and L. Buckingham-was printed
an article reviewing book entitled "a
Tour to Prairie Du Chen, etc" by Caleb
Atwater. Mr.. Atwater's vision of an
inter-oceanic railway was thus presented
in his book.
Along the National Road, when COM
pIeted from Wheeling to Jefferson City,
Mo-, a railroad might be made, and from
thence up the Platt, all the way to tht
Pacific, without a hill i'll the way worth
naming. l know, from personal oOser-
vation, that not single hill or valley
prevents the construction Of a railroad
from Wheeling to ST. Louis; and that,
doubt not, is the Ist part of the route.
When locomotive engines are brought t.
tie perfection experience and ingen uitl
will soon bring them, goods and passen-
gers could pass between the two seas il
ten days. That this will be the route to
China within fifty years from this tint
scarcely admits of doubt. From sea to
sea Il dense 10. ula ion would dwell
along the whole route, enliven the pros
pect with their industry, and animate
the scene"
This was more than the reviewer, "a
gentleman who had resided several years
in the Western country" could stand,
and he demolished Mr.. Atwater's rail
road with the following words:
LAY. when railroads shall have been
constructed over thousand miles OF
land, almost rs barron and arid ,,s tbr
desert of Sahara, this may be the chan
mel Of comm. unication betwuen New
York and China. Pray, will the passen-
gers in Mr.. Atwater's locomotive engine
carry their food with them, or will they
stop to hunt the buffalo? Will the In
dians have been eXterminated, or will
the steam cars run over them? Will
forests have grown up ON the road to
supply his boilers with fuel?
That such communication may take
place between the Atlantic States ann
the East Indies some day we will. no;
dispute, for nothing is impossible witt
God; but that it will exist any tirnt
within the next two centuries we bpy
leave to doubt. The obstacles whiti
exist at present are As follows: The In
dian title is to be eXtinsuished over =
route of about fifteen hundred miles; =
railroad Is to be laid over two-thirds ei
that distance; wood must grow along
the road. and reservoirs must be con-
structed to supply the eugineS viii.
water This seems to lie wilder
scheme than even that of Oregon emf

Strike Now.

There's nothing more thou canst command,
The past has gone beyond thy hand,
With many broken VOW.
The coming moment is not thine;
Life stands between, a narrow line,
Strike while the irons hot-strike now
Now is the time to do the deed,
Now the time to uproot the weed.
At, not pause to inquire how;
Each passing moment chillS the glow,
Good forging twins the thought and blow.
Strike while the irons hOt-strike now.
Plan as we will, strike as we may,
All power, hope, growth from day to day,
To the crushing now must bow.
Results of reason, feeling tact,
All are sunrise, the now but fate.
Strike while the irons hot-strike now.
Greatness the now has always won,
Well sowed, that this is all the sum
OF life, who can disavOw?
Work in the now f;om first to last,
'Tis always with you, never past.
Strike while the irons hot-strike now.

Twists and TWinges.

My BRETHREN shouted DR.. Tslmage one

from the cornfield; God has arranged that the
ear and the husk shall be parted; every
rheumatic pain is but thrust of the huslzing

Possibly; but nobody wants to be husked,
for all that. and nature teaches US to resist
the process; therefore, we accept with gratis

POBTRY.
A Bad Spell.

She went about with look benign,
And hung her clothes upon the llgn'
Then called her husband in to dlgn.
He spoke to her in accents rough,
He dispaRged the garden stCugh-
He Was a man of manners grough.
He said she knew he hated lamb
The dinner WAS the merest shamb;
Why didn't she prepare some hanb:
She looked at him and muttered pugh.
And asked: What can a woman dugh
To please a cranky man like yughr"
Was she a woman to sit dumb
While he came in with aspect glumb!
She would not stand it, not 10y sunb.
His Judgment of good food she doubted
His grounds of criticism she scoubted-
Half mad with rage these words she
shoubted.
Then with look OF pain and worry,
The wife arose and in great liorry,
Went to her mother in Il horny.
