For life is sometimes , bright and fair,

Then let's forget its toil and we,
And note its bright hours only.
We bid the joyous moments haste,
And then forget their glitter ;
We take Ito cup of life, and mote

Episcopalians.

A Groat Work In Italy.
Recent letters ',peak of an Undertaking
by the King of the 'Pwo'Sicilies, which, if
accomplished, will •do inure for his credit
than anything that. hasiranspired since his
Recession. We refer , to the draining of the
[Ace FoCino - or Callan°, This lake lies
about 110 miles north of Naples, • and is
surrounded by the highest Appeninea.—
The melted snows and the rains flowing .
from these mountains run into the lake,
and as it has no outlet, the surrounding
land, which is al great fertility,•is constant
ly liable to, be submerged.. Julius Caesar
intended to have had the, lake drained; but
did not livelong enough to accomplish his
design. The Emperor Claudius 'under ,
took it, and had 304000 men employedlot
eleven years in constructing a canal through
the mountains ; but his workMl/1 destroy...,
ed by hie Successor. Through succeeding
ages the Work was repeatedly restnitt, tint
never completed: • At length . King" Ferdi
nand IL has. granted to a .Neapolitan.com•
patty chiefly. however, composed .of
Frenchmen. certain ',advantageous' terms,
and, they are about comnieneirig operations
on the old work of Claudius, and they'are
to finish it within eight years.. The lake i
is in be entirely drained, and the effect, it is.l
said, will be-the reclamation of thirty-three '
thousand 'acres of the richest land, which
will become .the. property of the company:
With the, pee. of gunpowder and the apps=
rates of modern science, the ,work will not

DIIRATIUN.OI VEUISTABLE LIFE.—LoII
Lindsay states that, in the course of his
wanderings amid the .pyramids of Egypt,
he stumbled on a mummy; proved by Its,
hieroglyphics to be at least two thousand'
years of ago. On examining "the mummy
after it was unwrapped, AO found in one 1
of its closed hands a tuberous or' bulbous'
root. '.llO was interested in the question
how long vegetable - life could last, and he
therefore took that tuberous root from the
