Dcrnlol's Dream,
BY MRS. ELLIS.

sslhcn we are to part, Norsh, cure?
Mus. thrayel the wide world alone?
It's hard such fate to endure:
Are ye thinkin' my hearts made of stone?
ye say that yer promise yen kape;
It's me that am doubtin' that same;
For last night not wink could slape,
So drimt a most hard hearted dramel
thought that right over the deck
The say. wild the big tempest, came;
And chung, for my life, to the wreck
Don't sigh, now-it's only drame!
"i drifted and drowned TILL somehow,
was saved from the perilous tide;
Iut the fever was strong on my brow;
And stranger to watch by my side
felt my hot eyes overflow,
As down on my two knees knelt,
And pray'd that you niyer might know
The anguish yer poor Dermot feltl
NY nurse stood as you, Norak, stand
The tears from her eyes qlite a strame:
But why, Cu!shah, trembies yer hand?
Kemember--il's only drame!
"It proved that this kind girl had come,
ovid her soft hair and eyes Of deep bluc]
From my own darint swa;e island home:-
Oh! Norah! WHY wasn't it YOU?
Her bright eyes SO lovin'Iy shone,
When | asked her the price oil life
That what could do but-och hone!--
Just drame that made her my wiie!"
Then up Moran rose. with start,
And cried. 'twixt sob and scrame,
"Och! Dermot, we never will part;
For it's Pill be that nurse in yer drame!n

TuE VALUE OF On IN INDIAN CoRN.-Accorc-
ing TO Professor Johnston, the popping properties
Of corn depend upon the expansion OF the oil, on
the application of heat. A barrel OF popcorn
would give six barrels of popped corn; while the
rice corn, which contains still larger proportion
of oil, would give thirty six barfels OF popped
corn from one unpoppet; while there are some
kinds which, from the absence OF oil, would not
pop at alI The STRUCTURE of grains is most
important study. 1t particularly important IN
its bearing upon the feeding OF stock. The same
explanation he applied also to wheat, which, nc
said, contains a smaller proportion OF oil than

hair, and the father walking the floor in agony.
