THE ROOFTREE.

By John S. McGroarty.
Once on a time a strong man hewed
A rooftree for his little brood;
His sinewy hands its rafters reared,
His swinging ak the forest cleared,
TIL orchard-hloom and fields of loan
Smiled round II, and he called 1t Home.
And there, for many a happy day,
He heard his children shout and play,
Or watched them, barefoot, wading through
The clovered meadows, stepped in dew;
And. one by one, he saw them fare
Forth from the fold the world to dare.
Then came a time when meath the shade
Or arbors that his hands had made,
They laid him In the soft. cool mold.
His labors done, his story told.
And silence breathed It's hush and spell,
On that dear place once loved so we'll.
The rooftree crumbled, spiders wove
Their fairy webs it's caves above;
But yonder, in the worlds wild way,
Those who had loved it In their play,
Stopped oft, through days that care beset,
To name it with their hearts regret.
A rich man in his halls of pride,
Through many an hour of longing sighed
For Its bright. fiowery paths again;
And one who lay in fevered pain
On glory's field, near deaths dim brink,
Cried for its sweet. cool springs to drink.
And there was one poor Ishmael,
Who, when his i~ll-starred fortunes fell,
Turned like a hunted dog at bay,
Backward, DER many a devious way,
To lay him down with death, care free,
once more within the old rooftree.

A TUNNEL AND HUDSON BRIDGE.

The Inevitable N irrepresibe opposition in South Jersey to anything and
everything of State Importance that may confer scme advantages pom North
Jersey has now cropped out against the project for an interstate bridge across
the Hudson. an n a most absurd way. The Camden Post-Telegram gives voice
to it The State concludes the POST is as much obligated to help
build a tunnel under the Delaware for the benefit Of South Jersey as 1t is to
buld a bridge across III Hudson. TMre are tunnels under the Hudson %
meeting New Jersey and Manhattan. and the State did not give a penny ito aid
these enterprises For a single tunnel under III Delaware. much shorter in
length, private enterprise ought to be sufficient The only reason for interstate
for a river bridge is the factth a bridge mas become a great public
necessity, but private capital will not embark In the enterprise. Som day in
the near Future South Jersey will feel the need of a bridge aorosst he Delaware,
