cannot forget you, for memory will fling
Her light Ger eblivions dark sea;
In heaven thou soar'st yet something will cling
To my bosom that whispers of thee;
The love that I kept in the beauty of trust,
Cannot pass like the foam from the seas,
Or mark that the finger has traced in the dust,
When 'tis swept by the breath Of the breeze
cannot forget you, too long thou hast flung
Thy spirits soft pinion Ger mine;
Too deep were the hopes, that round my heart
chung, tSs
As softly bowed at your shrine
In the hush ofthe twilight beneath the blue Skies
Thy presence will mantle my soul, 3
And q feeling Of softness will rush to my eyes,
Too deep for my manhood's control.
If had thought thou could'st have died,
might not weep for thee;
But forgot, when by thy side,
That thou could'st mortal be.
It now through my mind had passed
The time would e'er be DER,
And on thee should look my last,
And thou should'st smile no more,
Cold now her bosom; and her thin white arms,
Are mutely crossed Ger its icy charms,
As she lies like d statue of Grecian art,
With marble brow and a cold hushed heart;
Her locks are bright, but their gloss is hid;

And thus she lies in her narrow hall
Our fair young FLoREScE--the loved of all.

THE NEW OXYGEN LIGHT.-Promenader
on Broadway last night had an excellent
opportunity Of contrasting the clear, mel
low, pleasant, new oxygen light with the
filthy, unreliable stuff supplied by the gas
companies. The establishment at the corner
of Prince street and Broadway shone with
-unwonted splendor. Three gas jets in each
window illuminated the store in every part,
compelling the burners in the globes (Which
hung plentifully around) to "pale their in
cffectual fires" and casting over the broad
pavement and far into the street stream
of light. People passing up and down
Broad gay in the exciting hunt after New
Years gifts paused to view the extraordl-
nary spectacle. The "dim religious light ?
which the old gas throws on the objects in
shop windows and on the Hagways never
even in the holidays, when everything
bright is brightest into SO brilliant
a display. The dim, uncertain yellow Of
the old gas was in marked contrast with
this new and brilliant light. The steady
jets of light, without flicker, threw glow
of magnificent color on the objects by which
they were surrounded, while the gas with
which the store is ordinarily lighted APP,
peared Of pale, uncertain color. Hun
dreds of people gathered in the neighbor-
hood Of Prince street and Broadway in the
evening to admire the new light, and the
opinion was generally expressed that there
was now prospect of having New York
and its magnificent stores not merely we'll
lighted, but brilliantly illuminated.-Ne

A PLAGUE OF RABBITS IN AUSTRALIA.
A letter from Melbourne says: The Short
sightedness of man on this side Of the world
has recently become unpleasantly remark
able in connection with one of his efforts
at acclimatizing English animals in Austria
liz. The rabbit is now threatening to be-
come o plague of almost Egyptian magni-
tude in the distant and thinly populated
plains. Only a year or two ago not q rab-
bit was to be seen save as, o curiosity IN .
hutch; but the wild rabbit, most prolsi OF
importations, has 80 increased in nEnbers
in some parts Of the country that it threat.
ems to starve the very sheep out of their
runs. Mr.. William Robertson, large
landholder and squatter near Colac, has
been put to cost Of four or five thousand
pounds in the as yet abortive effort to ex-
terminate these now considered vermtn,
and ne estimates that it will cost him
100000 in wages to trappers and Killers
before he will have achieved any marked
success in abating the nuisance. AT the same %
time they are spreading more OF less inlah
parts Of the country, and have seen them
scamperirg about even the gardens near
Melbourne. AS food they greatly affect some
of the most beautiful Of our fowers-no'
thing, however, coming amiss to them
and they are therefore becoming the terror
of horticukurists. Now that the plague IL
ON uagin full force, we can, of course, all
very easily account for what no one fore
saw. Any equally prolific animal, equally
well circumstaneed as to climate and feed
must become equally numerous in any
country as thinly populateGsas, ours. In
Enaland the wild rabbit meets with many
desiroyeIs 4 here there are very few. In
England rabbit illing is sport in Australia

rabbits are daily hawked about the streets
at sixpence each, and the market is alWa u
