CAN LOVE FORGET.


he following exquisite and passionate verses were a,
ssed by Rev JoHS MouLTRIE to the lady of his love
om he subsequently married:
Forget theel If to dream by night,
And muse on thee by day
If all the worship, deep and wild,
poets heart can pay
Ii prayers in absence breathed FOR thee,
To Heavens protecting power
II winged thoughts that Tit to thee,
thousand in an hour
Ii busy fancy blending thee
With all my future lot
Ii thou callst these forgetting" thou
Indeed Shalt be forgot.
Forget thee Bid The forest birds
Forget their sweetest tunes;
Forget thee Bid the sea forget
To swell beneath the moon;
Bid the fairest evening flower forget
To bring refreshing dew;
Thyself forget thine own dear land
Its mountains wild and blue;
Forget each old familiar face.
Each long remembered spot
When these things are forgot by thee,
Then shalt thUU be forgot.
Keep. if thou wilt, thy maiden peace
Still calm and fancy free
For God forbid thy gladstone heart
Should grow less glad for me-
Yet while that heart is StI unwon,
oh, bid not mine to rove
But let it nurse its humble faith,
And uncomplanng love.
II these preserved for patient years,
At last avail me not
Forget me then! but meier believe
That thou canst be forgot.

Perpetual Sunshine.


Bayard Taylor, who last summer made
journey to the North Cape, writes from
Hammerfest, Finmark, his impressions of
the continuous polar daylight of the Arctic
latitudes, from which We extract the follow
ing:
g am tired of unending daylight and
would willingly exchange the pomp Of the
Arctic midnight for the starlight darkness
at home. We are confused by the loss of
night; we lose the perception Of time.
One is never sleepy but simply tired, and
after sleep of eight hours by sunrise
wakes up as tired as ever. Ills sleep at
last is broken aud irregular; he substitutes
anumbcr of short maps, distributed through,
and finally gets into a state of general I'M
easiness and discomfort. 4 HaInmerfcst
merchant who has made frequent voyages
to Spitzbergen, told me that in the latitude
of eighty degrees he never knew certainly
whether it was day OF night, and the cook
was the only person on board who could
tell him.
At first the nocturnal sunshine strikes
you as wonderfully convenient. You lose
nothing of the scenery; you can read and
write as usual; you never need be in
hurry because there is time for everything.
1t is not necessary to do your days work
in daytime for night cometh. You are
never bclatcd, ami somewhat Of the stres.
of life is lifted off your shoulders But
after time, you woald be glad Of an ex-
cuse to stop seeing and observing and think
ing, and even enjoying.
There is no compulsiye rest, such as
darkness brings-no sweet isolation, which
is the best refreshmcnt Of sleep. You lie
down in the broad day, and the summons
"arise" attends on the re-opening Of your
eyes. | never went below and saw my
fellow passengers asleep all around me,
without a sudden feeling that something
was wrong; that they were drugged or under
some unnatural influence, that they thus
! slept so fast while the sunshine streamed
in through the port holes.
There are some advantages of this North
ern summer which have presented them
selves to me in rather grotesque light
( Think what an aid and shelter is removed
from crime-how many vices which can
only flourish in the deceptive atmospheres
of night must be checked by the sober
reality of daylight! No assassin can dog
the steps of his victim; no burglar can
work in sunshine; no guilty lovers can
hold solemn interviews by moonlight-all
concealment is removed, for the sun like
the eye of God, sees everything, and the
secret vices Of the earth must be bold in
deed, if they can bear his gaze. Morally,
as well as physically there is safety in light
and danger in darkness-and yet give me
the darkness and danger Let the pa
trolling sun 90 off his beat for awhile and
show little confidence in my ability to be-
have properly, rather than worry me with
this sleepless vigilance"

The Wizard of the Stomach.

The seat of the sense of nausea, is the
pit of the stomach, and at the bottom of
that pit-like a sorcerer in his cave-lies
the solar plexus, the great wizard that di-
reefs the tidal crisis Of the stomach, its
tempe8ts and its calms; its winds and its
volcanic emotions; and to this great wizard
the pituto al n,isericoydiune is raised by
those who would secure his good Offices
to him the offerings of sacrifice are made
according to the varied belief of his vota-
ries; some come smiling on with the
conviction that they have made him their
friend by the Offering of good breakfast
or dinner; some give him stiff sou wester,
as the sailors have it-that is glass of
strong grog; others to try to make him
snceze with a pinch of cayenne pepper;
some would tempt him into good nature
with peppermint; others physic him with
camphOr or creosote others again, send him
to sleep by means of laudnaum or morphia,
sutfocate him with ether or stupefy him
with chloroform Each pilgrim has faith
IN his own nostrum, even when it fails as
it is sure to do nine in every ten Then
we have a more modest class of devotces,
who approach him timidly; they stuff his
pit with a camphor bag or cover it up with
a warm plaster, be it of comm or franklin
cense, and thus armed they boldly wait his
pleasure.
Now far be it from me to deny that the
solar plexus approves of good meal on
the contrary no genius ever recorded in
the Thousand and One Nights loves good
things better than he, and to make him in
every way comfortable is a step of the first
importance. But we must remember that
he is to be comforted not oppressed, he
generally likes what he is accustomed to,
and administered with the usual form, and
at the usual periods-a breakfast at break
fast time, a dinner at dinner time, and
so forth but he neither approves of be-
ing devilled with cayenne, and brandy,
nor made stupid with laudanum, chlorolorm
or camphor If he be athirst, give him
little soda water, either alone, or with Il lit
tie sherry or brandy; and if he be chilled
clothe him warmly if you like, with cam
phor pad, or comm, or trankincensc plas-
ter; the external remedies can do no harm,
and they often do good, not merely because
they give confidence to the individual and
allay apprehension, but because they be-
stow warmth and pressure.

-Uar7yiag u Brjdesmaid.-A few weeks
since, in the ncighborhood of St Barnabas,
a lover conducted his intended bride to the
altar. The marriage ceremony proceeded
regularly until the fair one was asked
the question, .. Wilt thou have this man
for thy welded husband ?" TO which,
with much apparent sincerity, she replied,
NO" The poor bridegroom gazed upon
her with astonishment; but no expostula-
ton couldi Induce her toalter herresolution.
She frankly replied that she had just seen
gentleman that she liked better This
declaration soon brought matters to crisis.
The marriage ceremony was suspended, and
the clergyman politely conducted the par
ties to different doors The bridegroom,
more disgusted with such conduct than NOR
tilted at his disappointment declared that his
affections from that moment were alienated
and that nothing should induce him to
take the lady, even if her resolution were
to alter Mr.. G. b., the lady's own broth

to the church and conclude the ceremony
with one of the bridesmaids The hint was
instantly taken, and the proposals made,
and as the fair one herself had no objection
special licence was instantly procured,
they got married at the identical church on
the identical morning, and afterwards par
took of the identical dinner prepared for

artificial Dtamonds.-Another progress
sive step towards the possibility of crea-
ting diamonds by q chemical process has
been realized in the fact that sapphires
have been 50 produced Monsieur Gaudin
has communicated to the Academy of Sci
ences, Paris, process for obtaining alumni
na-the clay which yields the new metal
called aluminum-in transparent crystals,
which therefore present the same chemical
composition as the natural stone known un-
der the name of sapphire. Toobtain them
he lines a common crucible with q coating
of lamp black, and introduces into it equal
proportions Of alum and sulphate of potash
reduced to a powder and calcined. He
then exposes it for fifteen minutes to the
fire of a common forge. The crucible is
then allowed to cool, and on breaking it,
the surface Of the lamp black coating is
found covered with numerous brilliant
points, composed of sulphuret of potassi-
um, envcloping the crystals Of alumina OBJ
tained, or, in other words, real sapphires or
corundum. The size Of the crystals is
large in proportion to the mass operated
upon; those obtained by NJ. Gaudin are
about millimetre. or 3 100ths Of an inch
in diameter, and half a millimetre in height
They are so hard that they have been found
to be preferable to rubics for the purpose
Of matchmaking. 1t is thus that chemis-
try, by pursuing the recognized course OF
natural causes, will in its operation achieve
similar results, and produce the diamond.
Pleasant Sounds" Mss Betsy Some
years ago there lived in Alabama, family
named W, They were poor, and liv-
ed in an humble cottage, but enjoyed all
the blessings which naturally arose from
the toll Of their own hands, never envying
or dreaming of the treasures of the rich
until fortune favored them in the death of
relative in Old Virginia, which brought
them in possession of seven or eight ne
groes. On the strength OF the niggers
they were agoing to get, they bought wag-
on and team, and started the boys to Old
Virginny to haul them ar niggers hum.
They soon returned, and the family gave
the darkics a hearty reception-so much
so that they surrendered their beds and
chairs to them.
The good old lady of the house, whom
they called Miss Betsy, was so delighted at
her good fortune, she remained awake the
first night after the arrival OF them ar mig

is not a very geat offence, but whispering
during a session Of our public schools, is a
crime Of some inconsiderable magnitude,
and lies at the foundation of good order
and discipline. Tommy was whispering in
the ear of bright eyed little girl Of sew
eli years, whose curls flowing and luxuriant,
could not conceal the dimples that lodged
in and out of her rosy cheeks, in scores of
sunny smiles Both the little offenders
were called up, and the Principal, looking
as severe and maiesterial as possible at the
repentant little couple, inquired what he
was whispering about. Tommy blushed
fcarfully, and was very dumb, and would
not answer. Alice stood with her finger
in her rosy mouth, and when asked what
Tommy was whispering about, said she
didn't like to tell. The principal said she
must tell at once WELL said the little
