Oh wonderful stream " the river Of Time,
As j runs through the realms Of years,
WITH fauitleas rhythm and a musical rhyme,
And broader sweep, and surge sublime,
Ihat blends with the ocean of years. ..s.y
How the winters are drifting like fakes Of snow.
And the summers like buds between
And the year Ia the sheaf-so they como and thew IN
On the Tiver'e breast, with its ebb and flow
AS giides in the shadow and sheen 's-
There Is q magical iaie up tbe river Time.
Where the softest airs are playing
There's clondess tky and tropical cline z
And song as swsee vesper chime
And the Junes with the roses are STAYING i .,I
And the name of this isie is the Long Ago. -a
And Fe bury our treasures there
There are brows Of beauty and bosonns II SNOW
There are heaps Of dust, but loved them 20 -. t
There are trinksts and tIssses Of hair y g..
There are fragments of song that nobody sings
And part of an infants prayer;
There's a Lutte unswept and harp without strings
There are broken VOWS aud pieces If Tipgs,
And the garments that she used to wear 79"s
There hands that waved when the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air g sl97s
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent roar
sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river 10 fair II. .q,e
Oh remembered for aye be the blessed isle e
All the day Of life till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile
And our eyes are closing to sumber awhile,
May that greenwood - OF soul be in sight.

Percussion or Illuminating powder, as it is
called. possesses such extraordinary power that
it cannot be used but as a projectile, there be-
ing no cannon capable of withstanding its force,
if fred in any quantity at once Sufficient to
project ball of bomhshell would completely
shatter cannon on the instant of explosion
The illuminate is composed of nitric acid, ex-
tracted from sulphate, alcohol spirits of wine,
and mercury. The fall of feather upon pure
Illuminating powder will sometimes cause it to
explode. One ounce of it is more than enough
for charging thousand caps, the illuminate be-
ing mixed with q quarter of its own weight of
water and half its weight of guppowder, and
ground with wooden muller on marble slab.
The terrific force of the article is owing to the
concentration into solid form of the elements
of air in the immediate juxtaposition of COM
bustible materials, which, when fired, assume
instantaneously the air, shape and bulk. which
is by the heat developed at the instant of ex-
plosion, fearfully increased in size.

THE TULIP AND THE LADIEs.-Some one
who was at the Crystal Palace Flower
Show, asks: What can be the reason that
the tulip is so acceptable to the ladies Its
form we know is beautiful, and its colors are
lustrous but as much may be said of n hundred
other flowers Can it be for the sentiment asso-
ciated with it, and for the language it is suppo-
sed to UTTER On this subject we confess our
selves largely indebted to the learned research
Of the ingenious Madame de la Tour. From her
we learn that, in the language of flowers. the
tulip means ssa declaration of love-" The rose
is beauty good again; the orange tree is gem
erosity-good again; the strawberry is perfect
excellence better still; but the tulip--ohl the
tulips the declaration of love! .aprss celia,
IA fin du monde, as the French say. On the
banks Of the Bosphorus the tulip is the emblem
of Inconsistency; but it is also the symbol Of the
most violent love- The wild tulip is found in
the fields Of Byzantium, with its crimson petals
and golden heart. s'The petals says Madame
de Ia Tour, 90 are compared to fire, and the yell
low heart to birthstone; and when presented by
an admring swain to his mistress, it is supposed
to declare that such is the effect of the fair ones
beauty, that if he sees her only for moment,
his face will be as fire, and his heart will be re-
duced to coal.-[Life Illustrated.
