The Unseen Tug. —OftimesfsaysOliver Wendel Holmes) I have seen a tall ship glide by against the tide, as if drawn by some invisible tow-line, with a hundred strong arms pulling it. Her sails were unfilled, her streamers were drooping, she had neither side-wheel nor stern-wheel; still she moved on stately, in serene ti iumph as with her own life. But I knew that on the other side of the ship, hidden beneath the great bulk that swam so majestically, there was a little toilsome steam-tug, with a heart of fire and anus of iron, that was tugging it bravely on ; and I knew- if the little steam-tug untwined her arm nml left the ship, it would wallow and roll alaiut, and drift hither and thither, and go off'with the refluent tide, no man knows whither. * ORB’ CORRUGATED IRON will cover mart— a long way more—than any other Iron, and for quality has no equal.
