Blossoms.
OF all the fairest flowers

Of all the fairest flowers
In spring and summer born,
That close their eyes at even tide
And smile to greet the morn,
There're two that love dearest
| mourn for them when dead.
The pure white apple-blossoms.
And the blushing roses red.
Among the time worn relics
Of my hope that long-since fled
Are faded dust-stained blossom,
And rose that once was red;
They're more to me than treasures,
Those petals red and white,
They bring to me sacred memories
Of a being pure and bright.
And visions that long have faded
AS fresh as in boyhood seem,
And the years with their sorrows vanisl
And l dream again youths dream;
And so, Of all earth's flowers
In beauty and purity dressed,
l love the pure white blossoms
And the blushing roses best.

EXAMPLES FROM NATURE
REV. MIR. SIEBER'S SERMON
Leaves To day for Synod and Will be Away a
 Week.

Rev. Mir. Sieber of the First English Lutheran church on Lawrence street yesterday morning preached a clear, helpful and instructive sermon from the text found in Matthew, sixth chap ter and thirtieth verse: "Wherefore if God so clothes the grass of the field which to-day is, knd tomorrow is cast into the oven shall he not much more clothe you, o ye of little faith?" The lesson of the morning, said the pastor, teaches us Gods providential care of his people, the saving grace of Jesus, and the simple lesson of trust in Christ as exemplified and taught in the vege- table kingdom and works of nature. These foundation thoughts of the dis course were finely elaborated and en- forced. At the service MT. Sieber an nounced that he would depart for the sessions of the synod tomorrow and would be away until Thursday or Fri day. Three men were installed by the pastor as members of the local churchs council.
 Yesterday at 1o;So o'clock the 4O- hour devotion commenced at St. Jo- seph's church, and will conclude to- morrow morning.
 Rev. Morton A. Barnes of Fair mount, w. Va, formerly a member of Christ church, this city, was the even ing preacher at Christ church yester- day. MT. Barnes is brother of Miss Rena Teresa Barnes, the vocalist, and his parents are well known residents oe Dixwell avenue.

the larger bridges are built This type consists of a series of reinforced con- crete arches spanning a pair of tracks and is used at Fair, Union, Crown, Chapel, Court streets and Grand ave- nue. They are comedy and graceful structures with but one defect to mar their beauty. This is the high board fence put up under orders of the city engineering department instead of an ornamental concrete or wrought iron railing It is said that lhe purpose Is to keep idlers from hanging about the structures and to prevent the frighten- ing of horses, the idea being to replace the unsightly fence with concrete in that distant future when the road is electrified.
 Engineers consider reinforced con- crete the coming method of construc- ton in building lines generally, owing to it's f1reproof quality and strength. Tn the first place, old abandoned track material, rails and flsh-plates are set up and bound together and from these radiate out horizontally and vertically a set of steel wire rods one-half inch | in thickness, thus forming a mesh- work Over this framework is poured the concrete Into false work cons structed of wood in the shape desired for the piers and arches. When the concrete has had sufficient time to set | the framework of wood is removed | Concrete becomes harder with age and as used in the bridges here is said to be waterproof.
 Telegraph conduits, water and gas mains will be laid in the material com posing the sidewalk, thus being accessi- ble for repairing.
 1 Above the top layer of concrete will be laid bieilithic paving three iaches thick similar that being put { wn on State street.
 Much time was lost in constructing the first bridges owing Q the use Of various sizes of rails which were with difficulty bound together. It was also thought when plans were made that these rails could be bent without heat but though this was done at first later it was found necessary to heat before bending, thus taking extra time
 Other types of bridges among the # going across the cut are the plate sir der bridges at osborn, Bradley, Frank lin, Hamilton, Wallace and Hast streets, and that peculiar style at Olive street, which one engineer engaged on the work characterizes as containing all complications credited to bridge practice" and by another as 8 "collec- ton of differences" The former type contains plank roadway and walks and will not be paved.
 | c. W. Blakesiee & Sons of this city have all the concrete construction in
 charge and the paving Is to be done by the Warren Bros. Co. of Boston.
 The Journal and Courier acknowl- edges its indebtedness to Messrs. c. F. slocum and J. F. Trumbull for inform ation relating to the bridge construc- tion.
