all other expenses, sufficient to increase the COL

1t should be borne in mind that the New York
Society Library is the growth of the present, while
other establishments OF the kind in this country,
preserved an unbroken career during nearly all
the last, century. Although this institution was
much the earlier foundation, its treasures fell
prey to the desoating influences of war, and
were thrown as sacrifice upon the altar of lber-
ty. However acceptable such benefit might
have proved, it should also be remembered
that the Society Library has accomplished all
without dollar, save from the subscriptions OF
its members. No wealthy donor has yet en-
nebled his name, by gift or bequest to the New
York Society Library; its members only, and
those who have stood by it, through every adver-
sity and every obstacle, are entitled to the credit,
if any be due, of having established institution
which does honor to the city

THE LAND OF DREAMS.

BY WIN. c. BRYANT.
A mighty realm is the Land of Dreams,
With sleeps that hang in the twilight sky,
And weltering oceans and trailing streams,
That CLEAN where the dusky valleys lie.
But over its shadowy border flow
Sweet rays from the world Of endless mcrn
And the mountains catch the glow,
And flowers in the fields arc born.
The souls of the happy dead repair
From their bowers of light to that bordering land
And walk in the fainter glory there,
With the souls of the living hand in hand
One calm, sweet smile in that shadowy sphere,
From eyes that open earth more
One warning word from a voice once dear
How they rise in the memory DER and DER
Far off from those hills that shine with dav,
And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales
The Land of Dreams goes stretching away
10 DINNER mountains and darker Wales.
There lie the chambers of guilty delight
There walk the spectres of guilty fear,
And soft, low voices, that float through the night
Are whispering sin in the helpless ear.
Dear maid, in thy girlhoods opening flower,
Scarce weaned from the love of childish play!
The tears whose checks are but the shower
That frcshens the carly blooms of May -
Thine eyes closed and over thy brow
Pass thoughtful shadows and Joyous CLEANS,
And know, by thy moving lips that now
Thy spirit strays in the Land of Dreams
Light-hcarted maiden oh, heed thy feet!
Oh keep where that beam of Paradise falls
And only wander where thou may st meet
The blessed ones from its shining walls
So shalt thou come from the Land of Dreams,
With love and peace TO this world of strife
And the light that over that border streams
. Shau lie on the path of thy daily life.

Coal Mountain in .New Hampshire. We learn from
a gentleman from that section of the State, that
calites and coal Mining, have purchased one of the
mountains in Osspee in the assurance it covers
formation of coal. scientific gentleman from
Pennsylvania is at present engaged in exploration
and far he has sunk his Shaft finds all the geo
logical Developments corroborative of the opinion
entertained. These mountains were not visited by
DR.. Jackson in his geological tours Coal has recent
ly been discovered in Rhode Island in ineXhausiibe
quantities. as it is reported, and also in Connecticut
lfit should be found in Ossipee, it would not only
insure the construction of the Conway railroad but
make that and the Montreal and Cochecho highly

PAaENTs.-Parents must never put away their
own youth. They must never cease to be young
Their sympathies and sensbilities should lie always
quick and fresh. They must be susceptible. They
must love that which God made the child to love-
Children need, not only government, firm and mild
but sympathy, warm and tender So long as parents
are their best and most agreeable companions, chill
dren are comparatively SAFE even in the society of
others.
