TO TIE OCEAN.

Endless ever sounding sea,
Image Of Eternity!
Troubled, with unconscious breast,
Like the dead without their rest;
Deaf unto thy own wild roar,
Heard at once ca every shore
Stretching on from pole to pole,
Tar as suns and seasons roll,
Far as regions Of night and day
Sounding on, away-away!
! Oh! what precious things there be,
Shrincd and scpulchrod in thee!
Gems and gold from every eye,
Hid within thy bosom lie;
Many treasure-ladcn bark
Rests within thy caverns dark
and where towers and temples rose,
Buried contents reposes
Giant secrets Of thy breast,
With their thousand isles Of rest
With their brave and beauteous forms,
Undisturb'd beneath thy storms;
In safe and peaceful home,
Where the mourner may not come,
Nor the stranger rudcly tread
0 CT their calm and coral bed.
| Where the ocean buried lies,
Nay no monument arise,
For thy bosom bears no trace
Of our cyanescent race;
On thy wild and wandering wave,
Bloom no laureIs for the grave;
Der thy dread, unfathom'd gloom,
Tower no trophies fer the tomb.
But there comes day Of dread,
10 reclaim thy thousand dead !;
Bursting from thy dark control,
While in fire thy pillows roll,
Shall that countlca3 multitude
Soar from out thy shrinking food
Thy mistress moon be changed to blood /!
And the sun with aspect drear,
Lock upon This parting sphere,
As ones lis startled o,b locked war,
On Ills cross WHO died for man:
Then Shall The srcbangel stand,
Ore foot or sea, and one On shore,
And swear with an upliftea hand
That time shall be no more!
and while Heavens last thundors roll,
) Sounding natures parting knoll,
Like burning, blacl;oning scroll,
Keeling from tie farce Of day,
) Earth and sea shall Gee away,

Affairs in Ireland.

There ere evidences in the Irish journals
Of increased good feeling towards the Eng
Iish in that country. 1te large number Of
English tourists who have visited Ireland
this year seem to have contributed to tAis
feeling The agricultural prospects Of the
country are also very promising. \ Dub
lin journal says: =
. Wheat is ore Of the hest crops ever
seen in ireland. The yield IS heavy, the
quality good, and it has been garnersd il
excellent condition. Ill doubts about the
potato are at an end, aud never was tic crop
more productive. Che green crops, 100,
Which now form 50 important feature in
our improved agriculture, will yield heavy
return this year. turnips, mangolls, etc
arc Of such superior bulk and quality that
even the farmers themselves are satisfied,
and have nothing to grumble at but the
fact that abundant crops bring low prices.
Still however, the prices Of agricultural
produce are highly remunerati7e; and be-
sides, where there is plenty there is en-
ployment, industry, eontentment, comfort
diminished pauporis1n, diminished crime
diauishea taxation, lighter burdens, anc
more enjoyment for all classes"

Ilosr AERoHAUr. The Detroit Tribune
gives up all hope Of the safety Of Ehurston,
who was carried of Oh his balloon. It says ::
Mr.. Bannister, his companion, returned
this afternoon, and can bring only the worst
tidines. The balloon he Identified, and
sent the silk Of which it was composed to
this city last night lie himself remained
to search for bis friend. To-day he comes
back dispairingly. lie states that the bal
loon-valyo On which Thurston sat, IS torn
om from tie silk Of the balloon three quar-
tars Of the way round, indicating unerring
ly that the weight of the unfortunate man
was too great COR the strength Of the sides,
and that the silk gave way, when he must
have dropped off. His only remaining chance
would be to cling to tie smooth material OF
which the balloon was made, and he could
not have sustained himself in that manner.
When this occurred, we can only conjecture,
but that it must have been within an hour
after he started seems highly probable
The balloon was seen for nearly two hours
with q glass; but it must be remembered
that this great body, full sixty feet high,
was only the size of g mans hand when
thus visible, and it would be utterly impos-
sible to see the i'll fated man if he had drop
ped off. Mr.. Bannister feels quite positive
that he must have fell before reaching Can
ada at all.

| VALUE or KIND WoRDs, Kind words
do not cost much They never blister the
tongue or lips; and We have never heard Of
any trouble arising from this quarter.
Though they DO net cost much, yes they
accomplish much.
/. They help one's own good nature and
good will. Soft words soften our own soul.
Angry words are fuel to the flame Of wrath,
and make it blaze the more ferccly.
2. Kind words make ether pc opie good
natured. Cold words freeze people, and
hot words scorch them, and sarcastic words
irritate them, and bitter, words make them
bitter, and wrathful words make them
wra.hful
| There is such rush Of all other kinds
Of words in our days that it seems desirable
to give kind words a chance among them.
There are vain words, and spiteful words,
and silly words, and empty words, and pro-
fame words, and boisterous words, and war
like words
| Kind words also produce their own image
on mems souls; and 9 beautiful image it is.
They soothe and quiet and add comfort tho
nearer. They shame him out Of his sour
morose, unkind feelings. We have not YET
begun to use kind words in such abundance
as they ought to be used They shouil be
on our lips from morning till night.

DRINKING AND CARD-pLATING IN RUSSIA.
The Presse gives gloomy account Of the
Decentralization which prevails amongst the
population Of Russia, and which is encoura-
ged by the financial system Of the country.
It appears that $50 million francs, or
nearly one nloioty Of the State revenue is
derived from the sale Of brandy licenses,
and that the Russian peasant is ruined in
soul and body by q detection Of river water,
nitric acid, sulphuric acid, and tobacco juice.
It IS calculated, after taken into account
the sum paid by spectators for their licenses,
the amount which they arc forced to expeni
