Sceptics had refused to believe it was possibile; but Sir Ra smiled and said there was no feat so difti- cult but that time and patience could ac- complish it. What obstacles he metwith, what diffi. ame, What remarkable tal- and the bridge displayed, What energy and re- solve, Were topics, that were discussed ulniost daily. perso} went to open the and commended it as one of the st works of the age.

He watched them ali with tue eye of an artist. Then he saw a herd of cattle going to one of the clear bright pools to drink, and he slowly flowed them.— | The pool at the end of the meadow was called the Meadow Pow; and tnere le saw something that interested him far more than the cows. A fair-haired boy, with a sweet thought- ful face, was trying to launch a littie t toy steamer, and make it keep steady in the water. A memory of the deep rushing river, the strong tides, and the fierce winds that did their best to destroy his bridge came over him as he watched the boy. The steamer would not keep steady. {t leaned first on one side, then on the other; and the boy with intinite patience, took it from the water, time after time, but could not remedy the defect. ‘The man understood the patient strug- gle with difficulties, and he went to Where the boy knelt among the long lush gTass, “Did youm: he asked. he boy’s face colored ke the little boat yours: as he answe “Yes. sLet me look at The wet beat ppos se isy mee lis own iden- live at the brief Ll will shew you, Vs you have erred in making your boat?
