Above wo give a diagram of our only sewer, running from the asylum and penitentiary through Court street to the river. The sewer is but 15 inches diameter, and serves tho state buildings named, also tho stato house and is expected to be used by tho four tiers of blocks lying between Ferry and Center streets. The dotted line3 represent tho main sewer and laterals through Court street and tho alley ways. It will be seen that north of Court there are three laterals running through tho allies from Center to Court, lying between Front and Commercial, Commercial and Lib erty and Liberty and High. South of Court street there is but one lateral, from State to Court through alley between Front nnd Commer cial. Another lateral Is needed north of Court, between Church and Cottage streets, to abate tho horrid nuisance discussed elsewhere. There should be added to this a sewer through tho greater part of Ferry street, and also through a portion of Center street to bp ex tended east as occasion demands. By means of laterals running a block north and south none would be overtaxed, and six tiers of blocks would bo accommodated, lying be tween Trade and Marion streets. There is great complaint of tho numerous cesspools in tho central part of the city. The general health demands these sewers, as well a i public economy and convenience. o Now simper JokelotH.

Romance and Reality. "James, dear, will you bring mo up a hod of coal from tho cellar?" Bald a busy wife. "That's just tho way with you," said James, with a black frown, as ho put down his book and rose up from tho lounge. "Just tho way with mo?" "Yes," ho snapped. "As soon as you seo mo enjoying myself, you have some chore or another for mo to do. Didn't you seo I was absorbed iu my reading?" "Well, dear, I will do it myself." "Yes, and tell everybody, your mother especially, that you havo to carry your own coal up from the cellar. No, I'll do it. Let mo mark my place." So ho marked tho nlaco in tho book at which ho had ceased read ing, and when ho went down to tho cellar, grumbling all tho way, sho picked up tho volunio and found it was a love story, and that tho pas sago ho had been absorbed in was as follews: "My darling, when you aro my wife I will shield ami protect you from every care, tho winds of heaven shall not visit your face too roughly, those pretty hands shall never bo soiled by mcninl tasks, your wish snail bo my law, your happiness ." Just then ho re-appeared, and dumping the hod on the floor, said: "There's your darned coal. Givo mo my book." Is life worth living? RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
