That still the mem'ry of that vow
Breathed in our earlier time,
is cherished deep within my breast,
Zen though to him twas bat Jest.
Nay, tell him in his hour Of pride,
Where hope hath lured him on,
And on Ambitions mountain side
His fate and name are won;
That still live in guilt and shame,
A blighted thing, with blighted fame.
For him I've left my home and youth,
And borne the curse of all
Who loved me in my hour of youth,
And hated in his fall
Have ranked 'mong lighter ills on earth,
The scorn Of her who gave me birth.
Tell him that while my gasping breath
Permitted hope of life,
That cen when cold and with'ring death
Had triumphed in the strife,
His name was faltered with sigh
a tear Tor him bedimmed mine eye.
The sands Of life are ebbing fast,
My race of sin is DER;
The mem'ry of the faded past ...

In gloom my sun Of sorrows set,
But tell him that l love him yet.

The LAST DAY.--To everything beneath
the sun there comes a last day Let the
sanguine then take warning, and the dis
heartsned take courage; for to every Joy
and to every sorrow, to every hope and eve.
ry fear, there will come last day; and
man ought SO to live by foresight, that while
he learns in every state to be content he
shall in each be prepared for another, what.
ever thai may be. When we see an acorn,
we expect it will produce an OAK +; when We
plant vine we calculate upon gathering
grapes; but when we lay plan for years
to come, we may wish, and we can do no
more, except pray that II may be accom-.
plished, for We know not what tomorrow
may bring forth. All that we do know be.
forehaDd Of anything is, that to everything
beneath the sun there comes a last day.

SIAM ETIQUETTE When the Siamesa
ambassadors were presented recently To
Queen Victoria they threw themselves ON
their hands and knees, and went the whole
length OF the room on all fours, and the prin-
cipal ambassador laid chin on the step Of the
throne and read his address in that position.
and after the formalities they all backed ont
IN the same awkward style. The royai
gravity was sorely tried by the ridiculous
spectacle. When the distinguished foreign.
ers were invited to lunch in one of the state
apartments they ali pulled cnt tke;. p;pes

the horror Of the court and the DISCUS, Of
the Queen, who abominates the weed.

no one responded. Eyes were turned upon
this and that man but the most glances

indeed the parson seemed to squint hard

The PRocEss OF GALvASIzISs IRoN.-
Notwithstanding the variety Of processes that
have been brought forward for coating iron
with zinc and various o,her metals, that in
vented by MIR. Norwood appears to be the
only one which ha, possessed positive value
and proved itself successful. This process
OF galvanizing iron imparts that crystalline
appearance TO il which resembles some kinds
OF japanned work. The iron to be coated
with zinc is first cleaned to remove all scale
or oxyd from its surface. For this purpose
II is immersed in dilute sulphufic acid, and
scrubbed with sand and emery until it is
quite bright, and is then washed in water.
The iron is now covered with thin pellicle
OF tin, which is precipitsted from solution
OF salts of tin, as follows: quantity of the
salts of tin-about pound to The live gal.
Ions OF water-are dissolved in water in a
tub or vat, and into this the clean sheets of
iron are immersed and brought into contact
with pieces Of metallic zinc at top and bot.
tom. In very short period thin skin Of
tin Is found adhering to the iron something
like that of COPPER, which forms on the
blade of knife when dipped into solution
of blue vitriol. The sheet of iron is now
lifted out, and dipped carefully into bath
OF molten zinc, the surface of which is COW
cred with thin stratum of pulverized sal.
ammoniac. In every case the iron must be
kept but for short period in the molten
metal, or it will be injured or rendered brit.
tie. The sheets Of iron thus coated with
zinc, are afterwards passed between rollers

SOME interesting facts are stated in the
foreign journals Of medicine in regard to the
increase of nails and hair in man. From
the statements made. it appears that the
growth Of the nails is more rapid in children
than in adults, and slowest in the aged. /,
goes on more promptly in summer than in
winter. so thar the same nail which is renew
ed in one hundred and thirty.two DAYS in
winter, requires only one hundred and six,

to 1t. The increase of nails of the right hand
is more rapid than for the left it differs, also,

ing most rapid for the middle finger nearly
equal for the two either side of this, slower

The growth Of the hair is well known to be

IT is an interesting fact in astronomy,
that the first asteroid was discovered bv
Professor Piazzi, on the first day of the
present century. Since then the number
has been greatly multiplied. The high
probability is, that these planetoids or plan
it-like pigmies are all rough fragmentary
bodies and not completed spheres. Some
of them are SO small that it would take
hundreds Of them to constitute a moon
one OF them appears to have surface about
the size Of France. Many high scientific
authorities conceived that these planetoids
a'e really fragments-several portions of
one planetary orb Of moderate size, which
has been shattered by some unknown pro.
cess of convulsion, and which has thus
left It's pieces flying about in the realms
itself occupied with its travelings before
the catastrophe occurred. These plauetoid
masses. however, although comparatively
small bodies, are yet sufficiently large to
be seen sparkling in the sunshine when
good telescopes are directed towards them.
II Is known that besides those already cata
iogued, there are others that have been
seen for passing instant, and that have
then been lost before they could be accurate
ly identified and it is also ascertained
that in addition to these shining plane
toids, there are myriads upon myriads of
fragmentary masses OF very much smaller
size whirling about IN space, and which,
on account of their minute dimensions.
would only look like cloud of dust in
the sunshine, if thousands upon thousands
of them were crowded together not more
than two hundred or three hundred miles
away from the terrestrial surface.
