Whate'sr the grief that dims the eye,
Whate'er the cause of sorrow,
We turn US to the weeping sky,
And say. "we'Il smile to morrow"
And when from those we love we part,
From hope we comfort borrow,
And whisper to our aching heart,
Wen meet again to .morrsw.
But when Tomorrow comes, it's still
An image Of to-day, 1@ s-E
Still tears our heavy eyelids fll,
Still mourn we those away.
And when that sorrow too is past
a yesterday of sorrowl--
Hope, smiling. cheats US to the last, = y .
With visions Of to morrow.

How Stranges


How strange it will 5e, love-how strange when
we two
Shall be what all lovers become;
You frgid and faithless-1 cold and untrue
You thoughtless of me and careless of you;
Our pet names grown rusty with nothing to do;
Loves bright web unrayeled, and rent and
worn through,
And life's loom left empty-ah hum !
All, mel
How strange it will bel
How strange it will be when the witchery goes,
Which makes me seem lovely to-day;
When your thought Of me loses its coleur de rose,
When every day serves some new thought to
disclose
When you find I've odd eyes and every day
nose
And wonder you could for a moment suppose
| was out of the commonplace way:
All, me!
How strange it will be
How strange it will be, love-how strange when
meet
With just chill touch of the hand
When my pulses no longer delightedly beat
At the thought of your coming the sound of
your feet
When watch not your going, far down the
long street
When your dear loving voice, now so thrillingly
sweet,
Grows harsh in reproach or command:
All me
How strange it will be
How strange it will be, when willingly stay
Divided the weary day through
Or, getting remotely apart may,
Sit chilly and silent, with nothing to say;
Or coldly converse on the news of the day
In a wearisome, od-married folks sort OF way :
| shrink from the picture-dont you?
All, mel
How strange it will be
Dear love, if our hearts do grow torpid and cold,
As so many others have done
If we let our love perish with hunger and cold !;
If we dim all lifes diamonds and tarnish its
gold;
If we choose to live wretched and die uncon-
soled
Twill be strangest of all things that ever were
told
As happening under the sun
All, me
| How strange it will be

WHERE THE Cold COMES FRoM.-During the
past year the Smithsonian Institute, through its
extended system of meteorological observations
has been enabled to make some very curious in
vestgations respecting the three memorable cold
days of January, 1859.
1t was found that the cold OF the three days
above mentioned, swept progressively over the
country like a wave, coming down from the
Arctic regions, and first entering the territory of
the United States at the extreme northwest
among the Rocky Mountains. 1t was expert
enced in Utah some three days before it reached
the northern Mississippi, and was heralded by
telegraph at Minnesota some two days before it
reached Washington. At Buffalo it was some
hours in advance of Boston, and was felt on the
Atlantic Ocean, where it appears to have disap-
peared. The cold wave also swept south in
most remarkable manner, and progressively ap-
peared in Florida and other southern States and
Mexico, as it died away in this direction, being
experienced in Central America and among the
West India Islands. Taken all in all, it was one
of the most remarkable meteorological phenom-
enons ever noticed and the facts collected seem
to prove that the originating impulse came from
the extreme northwestern portions of the Amer
continent.
