"WHERE ARE THEY NOW?"

(From Eliza Cook's Journal)
The sun-rays came with floods of golden gladness
When Childhood dwelt upon our laughing lips ;
Bat Time has dimmed the dancing.beams with sadness,
And Manhood murmurs through the grey eclipse,

" Where are they now?
What scented leaves and glowing buds were flinging
Their fairy odours round our early day ;
Bat Manhood looks while bloom and branch are
pringing,
And ssighs amid the brightest on its way,
" Where are they now ?'
What starry hopes illumed our dreaming spirits
But When Life and Love were beautiful and new ;
BAge, with all the wisdom it inherits,
reathes o'er the molten gems of morning dew.
" Where-are they now ?"
Oh •
. pensive words ! how many a blissful treasure
Ye serve to point to es a long•lost thing
43,,,./7 rainy a heart that pours Life's richest measure
Mast learn thy plaintive notes, and faintly sing,
(II " Where are they now?"

A VALUABLE HINT FOR THE ADMIRALTY AND ALL
COUSIANDE.RS-IN-CHlEF.—Commodore Sir Henry Leeke,
oramander-in-Chief of the East Indian Navy, bids fair to
be a very popular man in Bombay. He has ordered all
commandors of vessels of war, on entering harbour, to for-
ward to the Master Attendant's office, for the use of the
Public and reporters of the press, a list of passengers and
summary of news; and all commanders of the Indian navy
ships who may come across any ship conveying mails or
