WATER THAT WILL NOT DRowN.-Al
travellers, writes correspondent, have men.
toned with astoAishment the peculiar buoy
ancy of the water of Great Salt Lake, and it
IS truly surprising. No danger of shipwreck
need ever cross the mind of those who navi-
gate the lake, for it would be simply inpos-
sible for them to sink if thrown overheard.
With my hands clasped together under my
head, and my feet crossed, floated on the
very suface of the lake with at least one-third
of my body above the water. Upon warm
summers day there would not be the slight
est difficulty in going to sleep upon the lake,
and allowing yourself to be blown about as
the wind permitted; only one would need an
umbrella TO keep of the rays of the sun. II
has been stated that three buckets of this
water will yield one-buoket of solid salt, but
inasmuch as water will not hold above
twenty-five per cent. of saline matter in solu-
tlon, and If more be added, il is instantly
deposited upon the bottom, his estimate is,
of course, too large On enquiring of the
Mormons engaged IN procuring salt, they
unanimously stated that for every five
buckets of water they obtained one bucket of
salt, which gives the proportion as no less
than twenty per cent. No visitor to the
lake should omit the bath; the sensation In
the water is most luxurious, and leads one to
think himself floating in the air. On the
way back to the city il will be as well for
the bather to stop at the superb sulphur baths
lust outside the town, and remove the saline
incrustations which will have formed upon
him, by plunge into the fine swimming
bath whose only objection is its peculiar odor
and its great heat, which REQUIRES a large
admixture of cold water

CHILDHOOD.
ny oroRor p. PRENTICE.

IT'S sad, yet sweet, to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think We hear tho music
Our childhood loved so WE'LL
To gaza out on the eve,
Aud the bounicss field of air,
And feel again our hoyhood's wish
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come tbronglng fast;
The form. We loved so dear,y,
In the happy days now gonc,
The beautiful and the lovely,
So fair to look upon.
These bright and gentle madens,
Who seemed 90 formei for bliss,
To glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this!
Whose dark soft eyes seem'd swimming
In y sea Of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows so sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer
They have fallen from the stem
Yet, ohl il is lovely dream,
To fade from earth like them.
Aud yet the thought is saddeung,
To muse on such as they,
And feel TINT all the beautiful
Are passing swift away
That the fair ones whom we love,
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils Of the clineiDg vine,
Aud perish where they rest.

little incident that happend 10 me this evening""
faid soldier in Louisiana. 81 had been out all
day on the skirmish line; all was quiet. | had
mot heard the singing Of bullet for some time
l was sitting Gu the ground with my rifle across
my knees, thinking Of home and friends far
aWay-wondering what the future had in store
for me, and II should ever see that home again.
As sat thus, q little bird, called the Baltimore
oriole, perched himself on bush so close to me
that might have touched him with my rife, and
commenced singng. Tho voice of this bird is
much like that of our robin, and he is abouf she
same size though bis color is different, being
dark red. The poor little fellow had been
driven away through tho day by the shower Of
bullets that visited that quarter, but had return
ed at night to visit his home, and seemed now to
be returning thanks to God for his safe return.
And SO, thought |, my case may be like the
little bird. After this struggle is over, /, too,
may return to friends and homo. | accepted

near approach OF an attempt to convert the gov
ernment into an absolute monarchy of the
sixeenth-ceniury stamp. Tide Queen is forty
years old, aud has become "deYotee." as
women ia southern countries arc apt to do at
that age has put her conscience, both in mat
tors secular and matters reigiOus, 10 the hands
Of her oonieseor Father Claret, who is endea-
voring 10 revive the regime of Philip II. The
newspapers have been suppressed; martial law
proclaimed; thousands OF people imprisoned or
transported, and whatever OF secuarizatlon there
was in Spanish institutions is beiug removed to
make way for sacredota government. and coup
d'etat formally abolishing tho Cortez is daily
expected The move il n bold one, but its
failure il tolerably certain. It's ezcssses will
kill il and il will probably, though at the cost
Of much suffering to individuals, be the means
of raising the Spanish people finally iuto the
family of ''modern nations" Il is doubtful
whether any thing less violent would have suficed
