A PARODY—WRITTEN FOR TOE SCHOOLS.
Parodies are usually not worth print
ing, but the following is an exception.—
It is worthy not only of printiug, -but of
re-printing and circulating, to be sung in
our schools. Let teachers take the hint
Of all the institutions
In the East or in the 'Vest,
The glorions institution
Of the school-room is the best
There is room for every scholar,
And our banner is unfurled,
With a general invitation
To the people of the world.
Then come along, come along, make no
delay,
Come from every dwelling, come from ev
ery way,
Bring your slate and books along—don’t
be a fool,
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to send us
all to school
Come from where the mighty waters
Of the broad St Lawrence flow ;
Come from Florida and Kansas,
Come from Maine and Mexico,
Come and welcome to the school-room,
From the wide Atlantic shore,
To the golden region where they' hear
The old Pacific roar.
Then come along, Ac.
We will read, and spell, and cipher;
Write, and think when thoughts are
free;
And in study, with attention,
Carve a noble destiny'.
Our motto is Excelsior ;
And with our motives true,
We will leave the world the wiser
When wc pass our life-time through.
Then come along, Ac.
Our fathers gave us liberty,
But little did they dream —
Of the great results to follow
In this mighty' age of steam.
With the match of Education
All the world is set on fire,
And we knit our thoughts together
With a telegraphic wire.
Then come along, Ac.
While Europe’s in commotion—
llcr monarchs in a fret—
We are teaching them a lesson
Which they never can forget.
Ah, this they fast are learning,
Uncle Sam is not a fool;
For the people do the voting,
And the children go to school.
Then come along, Ac.
The wise in every nation
Are joining, heart and hand,
To spread the love of knowledge,
And of freedom o’er the land;
And Uncle Sam is anxious
That his children should be
Of the wisest and the bravest
And most worthy to be free.
Then come along, &c.
Come join our swelling numbers,
And advance with us along—
We will all in friendly union,
Sing in wisdom’s way a song:
Until every land re-echo
With the free and joyous call,
Conic ye to the fount of knowledge—
There is rest for ye alL
Then come along, Ac.

A Mammoth Work—Artificial Lake
in Virginia.
Mr. Ellet, the engineer, is engaged in a
grand scheme for improving the naviga
tion of the Kanawha river, by forming a
vast resorvoir or mountain lake to feed
that stream during low water. A corre
spondent of the Lewisburg (Va) Era gives
the following information relative to the
contemplated improvement:
“ The object is to form an inland lake,
or reservoir of water, to keep up the nav
igation of Kanawha river. The reservoir,
which we are now surveying, will be made
by making a dam between the mountains,
across Big Sewell Creek. The dam is to
be 945 feet long, 60 feet high, 400 feet
jthick at the base, and 45 feet at the top.
At either side of the dam will be made im
mense sluices to carry the water away,
which would naturally flow over the dam
when it gets full The sluices are to be
made of masonry of the most substantial
kind. The water is to be kept in this
lake until it isneeded to keep up the navi
gation of the river. The means of letting
it off will be by means of locks. You can
form some idea of the amount of water it
will hold when I tell you it is to be twen
ty-five mfies long, and from 1000 feet to
If mitre wide. There is an immense a-
mount of speculation about this great
| work, the probable cost, Ac. Mr. Taylor
says that the dam will cost above $200,-
000. The cost of the land trill be the
greatest draw-bat* on the enterprise. It
will cover about 60,000 acres of land, be
sides 50,000 acres more which will have
to he paid for by the company, because it
will be no account to the owners, being
all mountain land Mid remnants of ferms.
I suppose $1,500,000 will not bwy the
land and nay the damages. "Tint tone
