From the pyramid temple, and treasured dead
We vainly ask. for her wisdom's plan:
They tell us of the slave and tyrant's dread
Yet there was hope when that day began.
The Chaldee came with his starry ]ore,;
That built up Babylon's crown and creed;
And bricks were stamped on the Tigris shore
With signs which our sages scarce canlread,
From Minus Temple and Nimrod's Tower
The rule of the old East's empire spread.
Unreasoning faith and unquestioned power
But still, Is it Gomez the Watcher said
The light of the Persian's worshipped flame,
The ancient bondage its spIendcr threw;
And once on the West sunrise came,
When Greece to her freedoms trust was
With dreams to the utmost ages dear, =
With human gods and with god like men,
No marvel the far-ot day seemed near
To eyes that looked through her laursls
then
The Romans conquered and revelled, too,
Till honor and faith and power were; gone,
And deeper old Europe's darkness grew
As wave after wave the Goth came on.
The gown was learning, the sword was law,
The people served in the oxen's stead
But ever some CLEAN the Watcher saw,
And evermore, Is it come they said
Poet and Seer that question caught
Above the din of life's fears and frets;
1t marched with letters - it toiled will,
thought
Thro' schools aud creeds which the earth
forgets;
The statesmen trihe, and priests deceive,
And tradesmen barter our world away;
Yet hearts to that golden promise cleave,
And still at times, Is it come !? they say.
The days Of the nation bear no trace
OF all the sunshine so TAR foretold
The cannon speaks in the teachers place
The aye is weary with work and gold
And higher hopes wither, and memories
On hearts and affairs the fires are dead;
But that brave faith have not lived in vain:
And this is all that our Watcher said.

THE SEQUEL Our readers have
all heard the story of soaping the
clergyman's tin horn at camp
meeting, so when he went to call
the congregation together, he blew
the ''sott soap'' over his brother
clergymen, and how he exclaimed.
"Brethern, I have served the
Lord thirty years, and in that time
have never uttered a protane word,
BIT I'll be id if l can't whip the
man that soaped that horn!"
Our READERS, we say, have all
heard this, but have perhaps never

A 1Sc1ENT1F1C DIscovERY.-You
have heard about the .''silvery sea-
but did you ever imagine that it
was an actual fact that the sea con-
tanned an immense quantity Of sill
yer? a couple OF learned members
Of the Academy Of Sciences, at
the last sitting, presented to that
body the results Of their investiga-
tions uron this subject by which it
is established that the waters of the
Atlantic contain one milligramme
4 - hundreth part Of a grain,
troy,) to the hundred killogrammes
(about two hundred and twenty-five
pounds, avoirdupois) and of course
the sea contains much lar: er mass
Of the shining metal than has ever
been extracted from the bowels of
the earth. They say its presence
may be accounted for upon two
theorles-that it may either proceed
from the emanations Of chloride Of
silver, issuing from the bosom Of
the earth, as also from the slow ac-
ton which salt water exercises on
the argentifirous sulphurets which
crop out from the earth, both on
land and at the bottom Of the ocean,
At any rate, they are satisfied it is
there, but, as it c SITS now about ten
times as much to extract it as it is
worth, it is not probable that this
immense placer OF silver will entice
away many Of the oyster-diggers,
who recently have fallen so
fortunately upon the big bed Of
the bivalves on your side of the
water.

trap and capture the ssvarmint.'' They went
to George Wilson's for trap, which they set,
but met with no success that night, as the
panther, whilst partaking of its repast, had
avoided getting into the trap. The next day
Carothers arranged some poles so that the
panther could not get to the carcass of the
deer without passing over the spot where he
placed the trap. The following morning when
they came towards the run, on hearing the
chains rattle, Carothers declared in manner
more expressive than polite, that they sshad
cotched the cussed brute.' Fulton asked
permission to shoot it, and approached the
crossed logs, whilst Carothers held back his
dog ssBoss." The dog breaking loose from
Carothers, caused the panther to make sud-
den spring which so alarmed Mr.. Fulton that
he was unable to draw the trigger, and the dog
rushing past seized upon the enraged animal.
Carothers seeing that the panther was getting
the advantage Of the dog, cried: s.Shoot, or
he'll kill the dog" but finding that Fulton
did not instantly follow his order, he leveled
his own piece and shot the panther in the side.
As this did not dispatch the animal, Carothers
approached it, and forcing his gun down its
throat, so held the chained monster until Mr..
Fulton, not without some trepidation, dis
charged his loaded rifle at its head, and put an
end to its existence.

A SINGULAR PRoPHEoY.-The following GU
rious paragraph is from the Cologne cores
pondent of the Continental Review:
We may now afford to smile at the singular
prophecy of the Westphalian shephe rd, who
lived some hundred and fifty years ago, and
who predicted a terrible European war, in the
course Of which the Turks should cool the
feet of their horses in the Rhine. These
things-thus runs the tradition, were to come
to pass when carriages run without horses, and
the Prussian soldiers were dressed like the
soldiers who crucified Christ. Carriages do
run without horses, and the silhouette of a
Prussian soldier, in his tunic and helmet, is
in all respects that of a Roman legionary.
But the superstitious, who speculated on this
singular prophecy, could never reconcile with
it the decline of the Turkish power, and the
manifest improbability of the Sultan's troops
carrying the standard of the Prophet to the
banks of the Rhine. They forget that France
has Algerine regiments of Spahis and Zouaves,
and that many of them are good Moslemim
as ever walked in the streets of Stamboul.

A DANGEROUS PREAcHER.-Dr. Cross, in a

encompasses himself with rainbows, and me-
teors, and earthquakes, and cataracts, and
hurricanes, and water-spouts, and showers OF
gems, and torrents of fire, and boundless con-
fagrations, and marshaled PHILOSOPHERS, and
trooping seraphim, and the stupendous.w wheels
of Providence, and the slver-chiming OF the
spheres, and the weltering chaos of demolish-
ed worlds"
