SELECT POETRY.
THE WASTE OF TIME.
By CHARLES DICKENS.

Give me the gold that war has cost,
Before this peace-e expanding day;
The wasted skill, the labor lost
The mental treasure thrown away;
And | will buy each rood OF soil
In every yet discovered land
Where hunters roam, where peasants
toll,
Where many peopled cities stand.
I'll clothe each :hiveriug wretch on earth,
In needful, nay, i'll brave attire;
Fesiure begetling banquet ninth,
Which kings might envy and admire,
In every vale, on every plain,
A school should glad The aazers sight;
Where every poor mans child may gain
Pure knowledge free as air and light
III build asylums for the poor,
By age or aIlment made furlorn,
And none shall ihrust them from their door,
Or sting with looks or words of .corn.
I'll link each alien hemisphere
Help homes, men 10 conquer wrong;
Art. Science, Labor, nerve and cheer.
Reward the Poet for his song.
In every crowded town shall lise
Hall Academic, amply graced
Where ignorance may soon be wise,
And coarseness learn both art and taste.
To every province shall belong
Collegiate structures, and not few
Filled with a truth-eXplormg throug,
And teachers of the good and true.
In every true and peoped cline,
A vast Walhalla hall should stand
A marble edifiCe sublime
For the ilustrous of the land
A pantheon for the TRULY great,
The wise beuifcen', and just;
A place of wise and lofty state,
To honor and 10 holl their dust.
A temple TO attract and teach
Shall Ii0 its spire on every hill,
Where pious men shall feel aud preach
Peace, merry, tolerance, good will;
Music of bells on Sabbath days
Round the whole earth shall gladly rise
Aud ore great Christian song of praise,
Stream sweetly upward to the skies

ADVANCE IN NEWSPAPER PRINTING.-Iust
thirty.seven years ago, the proprietor of the
London Times inserted in his paper ,rium-
phant notice of lis first impression by steam.
"The reader of this paragraph" he said.
''now holds in his hand one of the many
thousand copies of the Times newspaper
which were taken off last night by me-
chanical apparatus. No less than
eleven hundred sheets were impressed in
one hour" Eleven hundred in an hour Pro-
digious! AT this rate, and with its present
circulation, the Times would take just thirty
five hours 10 print. With the machinery now
in use, twelve thousand copies an hour are
possible; ten thousand are actually produced
within tha, time. Truly we are the spoiled
children of progress, the very Sybari,es of
speed. The Italian volupluary murmured at
a crrmpled roselcaf; we complain if the Eu.
ropean news of yesterday is no, punc,ually
