Plan to Roof the Sidewalks.

The idea is being seriously discussed
as to the value of glass roof, or avn
ing, thrown over the sidewalk at the
height of the first story, its purpose be-
ing primarily to protect pedestrians from
the rain; and secondly, from the bril-
lianey of the sun. SO practical and
feasible docs this plan appear that it has
been decided to test it by erecting such
an awning on the streets of Quecnsgatc.

large stores along the principal avenues
in that section of London, have deter.

THE PALE CAST OF THOUGHT.

There was a task for me, end l arose
To meet it, for it stood before me clear;
In the night watches mad hearl it close
Beside the pillow, whispering in my ear.
But in the morning other whispers came,
Blowing this way and that, until grew
Full of all doubt and nothing seemed tho
SAME;
SO lost sight of that Ind to do;
Light rcasonings decoyed ME, one by one,
And then the sun set, with my task not done
Then did know how had lived in vain,
And clearly see my steps had turned
aStray;
For there be paths that in the dark lie plain,
Yet grow invisible when shines the day.

be introduced in the west and all the lines
