A strong argument for the abolition of

La Nature publishes suggestion from
a correspondent with a head for figures

be added to the Pight-angled streets of

gers by the ears being 125 900 600, the
saving would reach $3.50 900 a mile. The
passengers would gain 1865 yeas in time,

EXPERIENCE.

The world was made when a man was born,
He must taste for himself the forbidden springs,
He can never take warning from oId-fashioned
things.
He must fight as a boy, he must drink as a
youth,
the truth
OF the friend Of his soul; ne must laugh to scorn
The hints of deceit in woman s eyes
That are clear as the wells of Paradise.
And SO he goes on tn the world grows old,
Till his tongue has grown cautious, his heart
has grown cold;
Till the smile leaves his mouth and the ring
leaves his laugh,
And he shirks the bright headache you ask him
to quaff,
He grows formal with men and with women
polite,
And distrustful with both when they're out of
his sight,
Then he drinks for his palate and drinks for his
head,
And loves for his pleasure, and its time he were
dead. -lJohn Boyle O'ReiIly.
