WHEN COMETH BACK THE YEAR

WHEN COMEIH BACh / he t.Ah
WHps come;h back the year
When shall we look upon its hours again
When the dead leaf re,lrneth from its scar
And dead flowers smile once more in summer rain
When the loosed bands are joined again, and Tins
Heals up the broken wrecks that he has made,
And our weak feet no longer seek 10 climb
Toward the Godhead in its light arrayed.
When corneth back the year
Next season and the next, when we recall
The forms that were so lovely and so dear,
And giided from US with the old year iali
We bury bygone years in sunny graves,
And wreathe them over with departed flowers
and lore to sit where the lone cypress waves,
And dream away Lies best and hottest hours
When cometh back the year
Ever, neunshine and in storm, our hearts
Keep in all time, silently mrrored there,
The huss Hope sheds before her wing departs
So re,rospection in all life, awaits
The closing scene OF Time, and Life, and Hope
And 80 our hearts fores,all the heavy fatee
That hold us az an atom in their scope.

ERUPTION OF VoLcASo.-The Auburn Journal

wicb Islands, dated May l6, giving description OF
volcanic eruption in the Islands. We make the
following extract:
On the 10th Of January OF the present year just at
the dawn of dsv, we discovered rapid dlsgorge-
ment Of liquid fire, from the summit OF Mamma
Loa at an elevation of $4,000 feet above the sea:
This eruption increased from day TO day, !or several
weeks, pouring out vast floods Of fiery lava, which
spread down the side of the mountain, and flowed
off in broad and burning rivers, throwing ternhc
glare upon the heavens, and nilng those loity
mountainous regions with sheen oflight
This spectacle continued from week TO week,
without any abatement I'LL the molten food had
progressed twenty thirty miles down the SIDE OF
the mountain and across a high PLAIN wnlch
stretches between the bases Of Mama Loa and Man
ma Kea 1t YVES not till after many weeks that
was able to visit this scene Of terror and submlty
At length in company with Mr.. Paris, the MISSION
arv for KAMA station south OF Hlo-1 MADE the
attempt
We penetrated through deep Forest stretching
between Ho and the mountain, and reached the
molten stream as it flowed those vast and nigh
regions lying at the base Of the mountain Iere we
were able to approach the fiery stream and DIP up
and cool It's burning fluid, we would approach
the banks Of q river and take OF It's waters, from
this we followed the stream TO the top OF the noun
tan and found liz source IN vast crater amidst te
the eternal SHOWS OF those wild and heaven desoa-
ted reg ions Down the sides Of The mountain the
lava had nov ceased to flow upon the surface; but
j, had formed for itself subterranean duct, ut he
depth of 50 or 100 tec.
The duct was incascd vitnaction, as smooth as
glass and down this fearful channel river OF fire
was rushing al the rate OF Is 20 miles an hour,
from the summit to the foot OF the mountain. This
subterrancan stream we saw distinctly through scF-
eral large aper,ures in the side of the mountain,
while the burning food rushed iearfuy beneath our
feet. Our standing above ii was like standing upon
ice on a river, while the liquid food flows under
your feet. Our visit was attended with peril and
inconceivabie fatigue, but never regretted having
made it, and we returned deeply affected with the
majesty, the sublimity, the power and the love OF
that God who "looketn on the earth, and it trem-
beth; who touches the hills, and they smoke
whose presence melts the hills, and whose look
causes the mountains to flow down.
