THE SUMMER ANGELS.

It's the dark December weather,
Winds are wailing through the sky
If you listen. you will hear them
. Singing wild and singing high.
Now they toss the willow branches
Leaning DER the window bars.
Then their moan goes softer, fainter,
Up among the silent stars.
'Tis the dark December weather,
All the summer trees are bare
See the latest leaves are falling
Torn and ghostly through the air.
You may search the forest over,
You may trace the brooklets flow,
Not an aster's eye will open,
Not a golden rod will glow.
'Tis the dark December weather,
Geld the tide creeps down the bay;
Seagulls, in their snowy circles,
Beating up the windy way
Sailing, sailing, from the Northland,
Bringing winter on their wings,
They will linger, flashing seaward,
I'LL the time the robin sings.
'Tfs the dark December weather,
Wind and wood and wave are sad
'Iis the dark December weather,
Yet our hearts are blithe and glad,
And within them it is summer,
Ripest summer evermore,
For God s sweetest angels hover,
Radiant-eyed about the door.
Love, as tender as the moonlight,
Hope. as rosy as the dawn
There can come to those no winter
Whom such glory shineth on!
o, the dark December weather
May o'ershadow sea and shore
In our hearts the blessed angels
Make it summer evermore

The Great Eastern.

1t is decided that the new mammoth
is not exempt from the ills that ordi.
nary ships are heir to. The directors
having decided that the vessel should
go to Southampton, she left Holyhead
harbor on the Sd inst. In steaming
clear Of the Welch coast she put out
far enough to sea to give those on
board q taste Of life on the ocean wave.
1t was supposed that the steamer
would ride upon the waves without
rolling or pitching like ordinary YES
sells, but this anticipation was doomed
to disappointment. The chairs and
tables began to be unsteady, to reel
to and fro like drunken man, and be
at their wits end. The crockery fol-
lowed, the cups, saucers and dishes
rushed furiously to destruction against
the pantry walls, and were dashed to
pieces like potter's vessel. About
five O'Clock giant wave came surg.
ing on towards the bows, and struck
the Great Eastern with a loud boom,
sending its green waters in heavy
clump clear over the forward bull
warks, and drenching the men on deck.
1t was also proved by this trial trip
that the Great Eastern will require
three hundred tons Of coal day to
make her go at the rate Of fifteen and
half knots an hour. So, on the whole,
it may be questioned whether her 81.
gantic size is not, after al, the chief
and only merit of the mammoth steam
er.

Everything that tends to dccomposa

fear, envy, revenge. or !oye--in short,
whatever acts violently on our men.

She is very petite, holds her head on

with hop-skipandjump, which she
imagines immensely fascinating, and
giggles out a silly laugh, which she
fancies is musical When company
is in the parlor, she runs across the
room, stopping in the middle Of it,
with her finger on her lip, "a favorite
attitude) as if she were trying to re-
member something, then she tosses
back her head, smiles deprecatingly
at herself, scuttles back to an otto

answer, it may be said that such an objection
argues little love Of knowledge for its own sake,
and botrays, on the part Of the proponnder, an
unwillingness to be taught truth because, for
sooth, he had not learned IL on his mothers
lap. Why, If such rude, unfriendly and an
tagonistic mode of treating discoveries had
been successful, we should now know nothing,
comparatively, Of what we do know Of the
thousand -and-one revelations which have,
during the last two centuries, been made of the
realms of nature and philosophy. M a.,
There are those, however, who ask the ques
ton with good intent--who, ignorant of its
value, really desire to know in what the prac-
tical Importance Of Phrenology consists. To
such we would simply say, make it your bust
ness to hear Professor L. N. Fowler, who is
now with us, delivering lectures on tho
science, and giving delineations of character
to those who submit their heads to his skillful
manipulation. One lecture Of that gentleman
will be sure to answer your inquiry most salts
factorily but if you have superadded to this
tho evidence which his chart of personal char
acter affords, you will 60 homo rejoicing that
your doubts as to the utility Of Phrenology
have been forever set at rest.
Phrenology teaches us how we may bring all
parts Of our mental and moral organization
into harmonious and well-directod action. 1t
exhibits the natural deficiencies and redundan-
cies Of the cerebral development-thus disclos-
ing to the man of conscientious feelings the
errors and dangers to which he is liable from
his organization, and suggesting, at the same
time, the necessity of bringing into greater play
the counteracting influence Of other organs,
which are so beautifully set, 'the one over
against the other" $50 to speak)-for the pre-
vention Of excess, or for stimulating to greater
energy. frf
1t teaches us the special function and use of.
each orgsn, and shows how, by combining the
various powers of the brain, as a whole,
faithful estimate of ones true character may
be obtained. We must close--for our object
was not to write a treatise on PhronOogy, but
simply to make a few cursory remarks upon
subject which now occupies and interests the
public mind.
