S2,OOO,OOO FOR PURCHASE
of c. Cd. Canal Expected

WASHINGTON, May 25.-There is
good reason to believe that the long
fight Of the Atlantic Deeper Water
WAYS Association, to open up the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal as a
free and improved waterway between
the North and the South, is to be con-
summateo at this session of Congress.
In the House, where the campaign
was conducted by Congressman
Moore, Small and other Atlantic coast
Congressman, provision was made for
an appropriation of $1,30O,OOO, which
has been deemed insufficient to pur-
chase the canal.
The matter has since been before
the Committee on Commerce in the
Senate, where Senator Salisbury, OF
Delaware, has been pressing an
amendment to increase the amount to
S2,50O,000. The subcommittee having
the matter in charge has taken testi-
mony and generally considered all
the facts.
It is believed that the entire
amount recommended in the Sauls-
bury amendment will not be allowed.
but it is believed a compromise figure
Will be reached at about $2,000,000
that will be satisfactory and that will
result in the taking over of the pro-
Derty.

DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.

Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse thou me from secret faults
Ps. xix. u.
You have seen a ship out on the
bay swinging with the tide, and SEEM
ing as If it would follow it; and yet
it cannot, for down beneath the water
it is anchored. So many soul sways
towards heaven, but cannot ascend
thither because it is anchored to some
secret sin.
Judge not; the workings of his brain
And Of his heart thou canst not
see;
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain,
In Gods pure light may only be
A scar, brought from some well-won
field,
Where thou wouldst only faint and
yield.
The look, the air, that frets thy sight
NAV be token that below
The soul has closed in deadly fight
With some Internal, fiery foe,
Whose glance would scOrch thy
smiling grace,
And cast thee, shuddering' on thy
face!
The fall thou darest to despise
May be the angels slackened hand
rlas suffered it, that he may rise
And take a firmer, surer stand.
Cr. trusting less to earthly things,
May henceforth learn to use his
wings.
And judge none lost; but wait an'
see
With hopeful pity, not disdain;
TIL depth of the abyss may be
The measure of the height of pain
And love and glory that may raise
This soul TO God in after days!
