without finding the said Uncle Ben, Tom, and

they and little Johnny were of the same age

ever, smacks of an easy going temper, to be

Diamonds.

Modern chemists have laboured almost as
zealously TO produce diamonds as the alchy-
mists Of old did to turn all metals into gold
and through the progress of science, 1t is SAID
they believe they have a reasonable chance OF
succeeding. Diamonds, it is known, consist OF
pure carbon and it is therefore assumed that
carbon may be made to produce diamonds
M. Despretz. member of the Academy of Sci
ences at Paris, in a recent meeting of the body,
detailed series of experiments TO which ne
had subjected some carbon coming from the
calcination of sugar He caused an electric
pile, in which some plalina wires were extend-
ed. TO act on the carbon, without iptermission
for the space Of month, and ne then found
the wires covered with slight powder, which
on examination by microscope, was seen to
contain black and white crystals of the octage-
dral form. This powder, being experimental
on, was found to possess the qualities that have
heretofore exclusively appertained TO the pow
der of diamonds This is the nearest APP
proach to the production of real diamonds
which has yet been made, and even ifit should
not be found possible to carry it further, the ma
king of diamond dust will be of considerable
commercial importance. Whether the action
Of the electricity on the carbon is TO be ascribed
to heat, or to some unknown quality. M. De-
spro,z has not yet ascertained. Literary Ga

Than il day in its pride had array'd 1t
The land breeze blew mild, and the azure arched SKY
Look'd pure as the spirit that made it,
The murmur rose soft as silently gazd
On the shadowy waves playful motion,
From the dim distant isle till the beacon-fre blaz'd
Like a star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the Joy Of the sailor boys breast,
Was heard in his wildly breath'd numbers
The sea-bird had flown to her wave-girdled nest,
The fisherman sunk to lis slumbers;
One moment look'd from the hills gentle slope,
And hush'd was the pillows commotionO
And thought that the beacon look'd lovely as hope,
That star of life's tremulous ocean.
The time is long past and the scene is afar
Yet when my head rests on its pillow,
Will the memory sometimes, re-kinde the star,
That blazd on the breast of the blow.
In le's closing hour when the trembling soul flies,
And death stills the hearts last emotion;
oh, then may the seraph Of mercy arise,
Like a star on eternity's ocean!

Little Eddy, on his way to school, frequen

obliged to pass, to witness the gambols of his
paymates while bathing; the water being of
sufficient depth in some places for that purpose.
Fearing some accident might befall him, his

day, however, being overcome by temptation,
and the urgent solicitations of boys older than
himself, he yielded TO their opportunities and
his own wishes; and for an hour entered into
their aquatic sports right heartily. But as i'll
luck would have it, while dressing himself,
by some mismanagement, he put his little shirt
on wrong-side out, entirely unnoticed by him
at the time; hat the quick eye of his mother
saw it, and OWNED the reason at once. Before
retiring for The night, it was customary for the
little boy to kneel by her side and repeat his
