They say you have been pirating

Or was it some rich Indiaman
You robbed of all her pearls?
OF course you have been breaking hearts

"I kept my ship IN sight

The great one on the right.

But saw no ship that looked like yours.

"And so you SHALL" said he;

mil DEsPERANDUM."
BY AUGUSTUS MOORE.

From the Journal OF COMMERCE.
/ sing 1t back to thee, beloved,
From the dark, tossing sea,
Ger which you sent IL, like rird,
To- sing OF hope to me.
My bark has made no haven yet,
storms follow on my track,
And TO an angry, threat'ning sea
An angrysky glooms back.
But strange, sweet peace within me grows:
My courage does not fail,
When bends the mast, and sails are rent
Before the bowling gale.
Though tumbling pillows rudely shake
And strain my shattered bark
Enough dawning caverns all around
Are opening deep and dark
I know whose hand ison the helm,
trust my Plot true,
And, careless OF the raging storms,
shout "All hall" to you.
Never despair, Our bright brief day
vi youthful glee ha- fed:
Long toll, short triumph we have known
often our hearts have bled.
ToIling apart, through long decades,
We could not surely know
The WORD in season" meet to send
10 soothe each others woe.
Joying apart, in sunny DAYS,
So soon, so soon o'ercast,
we could not always share our Joy
Till all thejoy was past.
Thou, Queen amid thy household band,
i, in my watch alone,
Loving each other faithfully,
Yet each TO each unknown;
And each with earnest heart and hand,
With utmost skill and might,
Doing the work God gave TO do,
Seeking TO do II right.
What could we, in the stress of life,
With all our devious care,
More for each other do than hail,
"God bless you! Meier despairr'
Never despair, the sun runs low,
The dew begins to fall, =
the almond tree is soon to bloom,
The ripe leaves deck the wall.
Far down the western sky see
The sunset clouds are bright;
My Helmsman smiles, and utters low,
"At eve 1t shall be light"
And thou and I, perchance, on earth
May meetin peace once more, .
And sit delighted, side by side,
To "count our mercies o'er."
But, il not so, the river shore
Upon the other side
Shall be our tryst, when we have crossed
Earth 3 desert drear and wild.
There where no foe, no friend again
Can harm us, or molest-
Well sit and read each others past,
Where all the weary rest.
And there, indeed our watchword brave,
Rung back and forth so long,
Shall die away amid the strains
OF our new heavenly song.

Prof Huxley has been relating the case of
a French soldier whose left parietsl bone
was fractured by ball received in battle
The paralysis which ensued has new passed
away, and the Frenchman leads two lives
normal and abnormal. In the former he has
full possession of his faculties and is emil
nently honest, in the latter, while the ap1
pearances are much the same, he has only
the sense of touch in q state of activity, and
steals with all the activity of the most obdu1
rate kleptomaniac. The normal life lastd
about twenty days of each month and
lapses suddenly into the abnormal which
holds during the remaining days. Some OF
our public officials must have received pal
rietal fractures and of so severe a character
that the normal and abnormal periods arr
just the reverse of the above statement.
