Truly. they builded better than they
knew. those Of our forefathers who were
responsible for the construction of the
canal reservoirs. says an exchange.
From all accounts. these huge areas,
fraught with danger il weak in any
part. have gallantly withstood the
severest test in their history. and that.
too, when advancing years might have
offered excuse for structural weakness.
That hard work and great caution alsC
figured in the happy result does moi
detract from the credit Of the Original
builders. All the work possible il
the limited time allowed would moi
have saved the Grand reservoir if il
had not been honestly and skillfully
built in the first place.

The First Flower Of Spring.

Welcome. welcome. little stranger,
With thy petals bright and fair.
Dost thou not thyself endanger
In this chilly April airf
Why should mother earth thus rear thee
In this solitary Wild. 80
With no kindred fiowrets near thee,
Seeming like an orphan child2
Dost thou love the forest quiet,
Where the Oaks majestic rise.
That thou bloomest ever nigh it
And the haunts OF men despise?
MOI thou hast q social feature.
Friendships in thy face of snow;
Man has turned away from nature,
Aud thou wilt not with him go.
As above what Autumn faded,
By its death-winds, cold and drear.
As above what Winter shaded
Thou In beauty dost appear.
So we look fer resurrection
From the darkness OF the tomb,
And In Heaven reach perfection.
When the glorious Christ shall come.
