The winter Monarch.

With wrinkled brow and hoary head,
And breathing threatening frth,
Came down with grim and stately tread
The Monarch OF the North.
He came-a potentate ofi Ill
To spread destruction round;
The elements obeyed his will.
And him thar sovereign Owned.
A solemn dirge there rose Of sighs,
And clouds rose on the gale;
The Run withdre W to Southern skies,
And shone with luster pale.
Ger all the landscape, far and wide,
White drapery was spread.
Vt WAS not the vestnre Of tho bride.
But that which shrouds tho dead.
His wand just touched the wlndow.pine-
What images appeared!
And castles, such ~ IN the brain
By Fancy's hand are reared!
Like adamant became the ground
Wherein his foot was set;
In ICY letters frm he bound
Each pool and rivulet.
The birds that filled the air with song
Forpsaw his dismal reign,
And while autumnal days were long.
Poured iorth their parting STRAIN.
Tho forest trees, shorn or their charms,
And blast protecting screen,
Spread 10 the sky their naked arms,
All save the evergreen.
As timid maidens stand o'erawed
At sight of warlike bands,
So. while the monarch sways his rod,
All nature trembling stands.
There Is u Winter ~ the heart,
When dark forebodings sway,
Aud when serenes, joys depart
Like birds of summer day.
But hope rcmains-the evergrecn
Amid surrounding gioom,
To dec rate each Wlniry scene,
And smile above the tomb.

Experiments VITA n submarine naiterya
On Saturday, a respectable number Of
people collected at the Club House, Jersey
City, to witness some experiments with
Duay's submarine gun. This gun is the
invention Of Joseph Duffy, Of Patterson,
Nj The gun is placed on deck in the
vessel as far as possible below the water
line, with the muzlle end passing through
q stuiiRg box in the vessels side. Mechl-
nism is % arranged that when the gun is
forced inboard by the muzzle coming in
contact with the side Of hostile ship, the
gun Is discharged, sending not merely the
ahot, but also considerable portion Of the
expanding gases into the hold Of the enc
my's vessel. Valves are provided to pre-
vent the ingTess Of water as the gun is
driven inboard By the recon. A small
model was provided for the experiment,
and was placed in the bow Of skif,
about twenty inches below the surface
The boat was rOwed stemon against an oak
target, and as the gun struck, it was dis
charged driving the shot through two
fhree-inch planks, and considerably shat
tering the target The result was entirely
satisfactory.
