THE PLEASANT LAND OF DREAMS

Oh! wondrous Dreamand who has not
Threaded some mystic
In its dim recess or lived again,
In the deans of other days!
How fancy, to the sleeper's eye,
It's world of wealth displaysl
The old man seemeth young again
The beggar is a king
The heart of the lone and sorrowful
Is made with Joy to sing
Cool fountains upon arid wastes,
For parched pilgrims spring.
The child is on its mothers breast
That long in the grave hath lain
For in Dreamland all the loved and lost
Are given to US again
But alas the pathway from that land
Is one of awakening pain.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.-P People using the
telegraph should be careful to wait the very last
letter of the message, as otherwise deplorable mis-
takes may occur. For example: on the 10th of
April last, the clerk at a remote station somewhere
in the North ofEngland, received the following in
formation from London" The ChartistS haze riS-
en''-At this stage of the message, the terrified
clerk rushed out of the office, to proclaim that
revolution had commenced, SO that he lost the re-
mainder of the sentence, which consisted of these
words" in public estimation by their peaceable
proceedings" Returning, however, in time for the
next sentence, read-''A Republic has been uni
UersaHy proclaimed '-Out went the Mortified clerk
again, to tell the awful news, while the telegraph
TRANQUILITY continued" even, by the Chartists, to
be humbug." In minute, he was again at his
desk, watching the jerking needle. This time it
said" The Queen has been seized The clerk,
who was loyal young man of nervous tempera-
ment, Immediately tainted away, while the needle
continued =" with a slight attack Of toothache,
which, however, did not prevent her from attend
ing the Opera at Covent Garden, where the ma
tional anthem was demanded Here the clerk
rousng HIMSELF read and executed amid shouts
of Approval Rushing from the Terminus with a
wild scream, the unhappy man Immediately emf
grated to Texas, leaving his fate to be an awful
warning to all nervous Geographic clerks.--COmic
