R. & D, AND V. NJ. CONSOLIDATION.

Especial dispatch to the Alexandria GAzErTE)
RICHMOND, March S.-The bill for the
consolidation of the Richmond and Danville
and Virginia Midland Railroad Companies
having received black eye in the Senate
some time since, has not subsequently been
pressed, but it was believed that the consol-
idatiou would be perfected under Senate
bill, known as bill No. 1876, under which the
same object could have been accomplished.
This bill came up last night III the House,
and was dismissed by an almost unanimous
vote; and it is now safe to say that no such
consolidation will be permitted by the pre-
sent General Assembly.

DULWER LYTTON's BRIDGE.

Where /! Touches the Shores and The Great Columns in

what beautiful bridge between old age and
childhood is religion. How intuitively the child
begins with prayer and worship on entering life,
and how intuitively on quitting life, the old man
turns back to prayer and worship. putting him
self again side by side with the infant, remarks
Sir E. Buwcr Lytton, in his Strange Story"
Yes. but between its distant abutments the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash and roar III
wrath and dcsolation. Prayer and worship alone
do not sustain these. Natures solid rocks must
lie mistaken beneath, and human art and skill
must rear and solidify the structure overhead.
Gods will i best exemplfied in the laws He has
made for the creatures whom he has placed under
their troll Neither the child's trustful Our
Father" nor the old mans "Forgct me not in the
midst of mine nfrmities," will alter this by the
weight Of single grain.
Science and art 1rst-Then faith and prayer
is the order of Heaven itself. Divinity heals
through its agents, and those agents are the dis
coveries OF man; not the vague announcements
of prophets or seeiS. Is life burden to you?
Does time drag? Is your power to cope with lifes
problem and duties weakened? You are not well.
Your blood IS sluggish aud tainted, perhaps. or
some important organ is torpid or overworked
This fact may have taken the form Of dyspepsia,
rheumatism govt, malaria, pains in tho stomach
