Broad Gauge Railroad Great Improve.
ment

We rode on the broad gauge railroad
to Brattleboro and found the cars much
more commodious and less tiresome than
the jerky narrow gauge which was always
like Jordan hard road to travel. The
places are announced one station aheao
and the service is much better than be-
fore and up to date. The conductor
hurries along and there is no dallying at
the usual stopping places and those who
in the past had always had time to drink
all they wanted at the cold spring at
Williamsville station were told there was
no time, but one more persistent than the
rest did not heed the information and
hurriedly quenched his thirst, as the
call came for IAN aboard" Everything
is changed for the better, though we
would not call the steam whistle more
melodious than the old one. 1t seemed
strange not to see the cars standing in
their old place when we went at night to
take the train for home and N?ere amused
at ourselves when we inquired II the
train standing on the farther track was
our train 1t all seemed quite new and
strange to one who had so long known
the ways of the narrow gauge all by
heart.

Underground Wonder.

At Medina, Italy, is a large tract Of
land in which. when the well-diggers
got sixty three feet from the surface,
they came to a bed Of chalk. Through
this they bored with an augur just five
feet. They then withdrew from the
pit before the augur was removed, and
upon its extraction the water burst
through the aperture with great vio-
lence, and quickly filed the newly
made well, which was afterwards af
fected neither by rain nor dought At
another point. at the depth of four
teen feet, were found the ruins Of an
ancient city, paved streets. houses,
floors and different pieces of mason
work. Under this was earth made OF
vegetable matter, and at twenty SIX
feet large trees entire, such AS walnut
trees, with the walnuts sticking to
the stems, the leaves and branches in
perfect preservation. At twenty eight
feet chalk was found mixed with
shells, the bed being eleven feet thick.
Under this vegetables were found
again.

For some time Homer had known
that money is useful-one can buy
such nice things with it. Next he
learned that having pennies given one
by grown-up folk is not the same thing
as to earn them by doing some work.
Homer thought he would like to be a
wage Garner.
SO at the breakfast-table he asked
father for work.
"Hum-m" said Mr.. Barber looking
thoughtfully at the small figure Of his
son. NEARLY every day men come
into my office looking for employment,
and now you want work. What could
you do, if l may ask?"
"Oh, | could do most anything,
said Homer, hopefully.
Father thought little. The desire
t, work is such fine one that it ought
to be treated seriously, even in such a
small person.
"Very WE'LL" he said, finally. DO
YOU remember the kindlings that a
man unloaded yesterday over the back
fence? We'll, you may carry them to
the wood d-shed and pile them up neatly.

Our Queer Language.

Our Queer Language.
When the English tongue we speak,
Why is break" not rhymed with
'freak?"
Will you tell me why it's true
We say sew" but likewise few"
And the maker of verse
Cannot cap his "horse" with worse!
Beard" sounds not the same as heard
cord" is different from word;
Sow" is COW, but slow" is low;
Shoe is never rhymed with "foe."
Think of hose" and dose and lose;
And of 'goose'-and yet of CHOOSE"
Think of comb" and tomb" and
''bomb";
Doll and roll; and "home' and
''some";
And since "pay" is rhymed with SAY y
Why not paid" with said" | pray?
We have blood and food" and
good"
"Mould" is not pronounced like could.
Wherefore done" but gone and
''lone"?
Is there any reason known?
And, in short. it seems to me,
Sounds and letters disagree.
