Feeling Well.

A whaling big Stalk of Corn was
talking politics with a consumptive
Grasshopper.
we are going to elect Cleveland"
said the grasshopper, land institute
an Era of Reform"
The corn waved its leaves in disdain
and replied:
IF there were 1000 900, 900 more of
you and you had II drouth to back you
up then you might talk. But when |
feel well I'm rusiler; and this year |
feel well. A big corn crop means a
Republican President"
Hearing this the grasshopper drew
his cloak over his head, fell on a
Canada thistle and expired.

NINE GRAVES, IN EDINBRo.

In the ch1rchyard, up In the old high town,
The sexton stood at his daily toll
And he lifted his mattock and drove ii down,
And sunk 1t deep in the sacred soil.
And then a. he dclved he sang right Justify,
Aye, az he deepened and shaped the graves
In the black old mold that smelled so mnstily,
And thus was the way ofthc sexton slaves
"lt's nine o the clock, and have begun
The settled task that is daily mine;
BY ten o. the clock will finish one
BY six o. the clock there must be nine.
" Just three for women and three for men;
And, TO FIJI the number, another three
For daughters of women and sons of men
Who men or women shall never be.
"And the first of The graves in a row of three
Is his or hers who shall first appear;
ii lie in the order they come 10 me.
And such has been ever the custom here"
The first they brought was a fair young chi d,
And they saw him buried and went their
way:
And the sexton leaned ON his spade and
smiled.
And wondered, How many more today
The next was a man: then woman came;
The sexton had loved her in years gone by
But the years had gone, and the dead old dame
He buried as deep as his memory.
At six O the clock his task was done:
Eight graves were closed, and the ninth
prepared
Made ready to welcome man what one
Twas little the grim old exton cared.
He sat him down on the brink to rest,
When the clouds were red and the sky was
gray,
And said TO himself: This last is the best
And deepest of all I've dgged to-day.
who will fill it. | wonder. and when?
II does not matter; whoe-e they be,
The best and the worst of the race of men
Are ali alike when they come 10 me-
They went to him with man next day,
When the sky was gray and the clouds were
red;
As the sun set forth on his upward way
They went-and they found the sexton dead.
Dead by the open grave, was he;
And they buried him in it that ef-same day.
Ard marveed much such Il thing should be;
And since, the people will often say:
Ii ye dig, no matter when,
Graves to bury other men.
Think 1t never can be known
When ye1l chance to dig your own.
Mind ye of the tale ye know
Nine graves in Edinbro.

Food of the Ancients.

the youthful mind, it was not meant

all accounts the early Greeks were

Even when agriculture had made some
progress among them, and barley
could be had, the richer people prefer

barley bread must have been great
boon to the poor among the primitive
Greeks, seeing they were driven to dine
at times on grasshoppers and leaves.
Much the same conditions prevailed
among the Romans, who only on fes-
tive occasions partook of animal food,
their ordinary rcpast consisting wholly
of milk, herbs and roots. There came
time, however, when the Romans
went to the opposite extreme, and when
the whole empire used to be searched,
as it were, to furnish delicacies or nov
elites for the table. The Yorkshire pie
of the past was noted for the variety
of it's contents, but it was simplicity it.

The Great Panama Canal.

In regard to the work on the great
canal across the Isthmus of Panama,
and the progress that is being made
there the New Orleans Times Democrat
of q recent date has the following:
The total length of the canal is sew
enty-four kilometers; from the Atlantic
to its mouth in the Pacific, ut the Is
lands Macs and Flamenco. 1t is divid-
ed into twelve sections, the most i'm
portant of which are those of Colon,
Gorgona, Obispo, Emperador, Culebra
and Paraiso: These united sections
employ daily thirty steam excavators,
forty locomotives and 800 dip wagons.
There are 100000 cubic meters to be
excavated. The grand cutting, about
two-thirds of which has already been
excavated, is the cutting between Obs
pc and Paraiso.. The force employed
upon the works is upward of 10000
men, and the excavation up to the 18th
OF October amounted to more than g.
500, 900 cubic meters. During these
latter months of the bad season the ex-
cavations have amounted to about $780,
600 meters per month. The figure will
be quintupled during the fine season,
which commenced in December, and
next year mostly all the necessary ma
chinery will be at work, and tho exca-
vations will amount to 100000 me-
tiers per month. The working force
will be augmented and will form a
total of Is, 600 men. At Colon the port
works are nearly complete. The terre
plein, with the breakwater, destined to
lessen the effect of the heavy seas at
the entrance of the canal, is finished.
An entire town has appeared there,
with a collection of workshops, ware
houses and connecting railways for the
terial. The earth Of the terre plein
was taken from Monkey Hill, where
great cutting has been specially OPEN
ed with the object of filling up the la
goons at the bottom of the Bay of Co.
Ion to improve the sanitary condition.
The first of the 120-horse power ma
chimes between Colon and Gatin, dis
lance of nine kilometers, is in full blast
and is able to excavate the enormous
quantity of 5000 meters per diem, to
be paid at the rate of franc per so Gu
bic meters. The Pacific opening be-
tween the mouth of the Rio Grande and
Paraiso is contracted for by the Fran
co-American Trading Company. The
first machine of the American system
will commence work in few DAYS, and
will be supplemented by others, which
will be necessary to finish this part OF
the canal in two years as maximum
from Gatan to Bahia SOldadO. On the
Atlantic side the company are working
two machines, furnishing minimum
of 4, 1000 cubic meters per diem.
