Mr.. Van Horne, manager of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, told the
people of New Westminster that it
was the companys intention to carry
the road to Coal harbor, or some
point in that vaclni,y. The syndi-
ca . had applied to the provincial go :
eminent for a grant Of land in the
vicinity of Coal barber for o terminus,
aud If the grant were made they
would raise money on these lands
aud extend the line; but to this
event they had no intention Of
abandoning Port Moody, as both
lines would be required. Indeed, 1t
might be necessary to use the
whole inlet for railroad proposes,
and possibly the Port Moody line
might in time be carried down the
Shore of the inlet to Coal har-

All vesitors to the Scandinavian
penisula are delighted with the
freshness and innosence Of the
Swedes and Norwegians, in the art
of deecing foreigners. Belgravia
tells story which illustrates not
only the simple-hearted, democra-
TIC equality which prevails in the
dual kingdom, but also the differs
ence between true nobility and
snobbishness. The scene is on a

GODS HANDIWORKS.

How few OF us think of the vast
difference between nature and art.
What is more grand than to stand,
and see the majestic father OF waters
las the Mississippi is sometimes called
as it goes along its tireless and never
ending vocation. Then there is the
grand beauty of the Niagara, which in
spires so much awe, when gaZed upon.
What painter could do either of those
majestic works of God justice? There
is the ocean with its unfathomless
depths, its billoEs and waves, also to
inspire. The water how beautiful !!
one of Gods handiworks, for the ben
eft of poor mortal man. How few
when gazing on the lofty forest, shady
groves, viewing the wonderful caves,
which God has taken so much pains in
fitting up, that they are natures charms
for mankind. There is the dear little
brooklet too, making sweet music as
it winds away in rugged paths, refresh
inc many of Gods creatures, as it glideS
along. How wonderful are Gods
handiworks, for us poor creatures
here All these are charms, but how
different we feel as we gaze on the
blue vault Of heaven. How surpass-
ingly beautiful when fair Luna peeps
forth at night on her travels here and
there through hfleecy clouds illuminating
the west 'ere she hides herself from
us. The mountains as they rear them
selves so high, as if they were ready
for tilt with something. too are grand
works Of nature looking down on the
valleys in seeming disgust for not be-
ing as they are. I ought to have men
toned the resplendant orb, King Sol,
which gives light and shines forth
with so much glory and brightness.
God "said let there be light and there
was light
