POETRY
THE OLD MIRROR.

Oft / see etltwilight,
In the hollow gloom
OF the dim old mirror,
Phantasnal faces loom;
Noble antique faces
Sad as with the weight
Of some ancient sorrow,
Some ancestral fate;
Little rose-lipped faces,
Locks of golden shine,
Laughing eyes of childhood
Looking into mine:
Sweet auroral faces,
Like the mornings bloom;
All. how long and long ago,
Shruuded for the tomb.
In bridal chamber
Once the mirror hung, r
Draperies of Indian looms
Over it were flung.
From its gilded sconces,
Fretted now with mold,
Waxen tapers glimmered
On carcanets of gold.
Perfumes of the summer night
Were through the lattice blown,
Scents of brier-roses
And meadows newly mown.
The mirror, then, looked eastward
And caught the mornings bloom,
And flooded with its rosy gold
The dreamlight of the room.
Tonight 'tis looking westward
Toward the sunset wall;
The wintry day is wanting,
The dead leaves drift and fall
All about the hearth-stone
The whitening ashes blow,
The wind is wailing an old song
Heard long and long ago.
Like the dead leaves drifting
Through the wintry sir,
Like white ashes sitting
Der the hearth-stone Sare.
Sad ancestral faces,
Wan as moon-lit snow,
Haunt the dim old mirror
That knew them long ago.

Often during the week that Miller was so

DEATH OF THE YOUNG.

We are apt to forget the ever memorable
saying of the Saviour, when He took the lit
tie child in his arms and blessed it, and pass
over the death of the young without a sigh
of regret. There are bright examples, new
ertheless, that call forth the strong emotions
of the aged and demand our attention.

Salt Wood,

1t is curious fact that in the salt mines
of Poland and Hungary the galleries are sup
ported by wooden pillars, which are found to
last unimpaired for ages, in consequence Of
being impregnated with salt, while pillars Of
brick and stone used for the same purpose,
crumble away in short time by the decay
of their mortar. 1t is also found that wood
en- piles driven into the mud of salt fats and
marshes, last for an unlimited period Of time
and are used for the foundation of brick and
stone edi6ces; and the practice of docking
timber, by immersing it for some time in
sea water, after it has been seasoned, is gen.
orally admitted to be promotive Of its dura-
bility. There are some experiments which
appear to show that, after the dry rot has
commenced, immersion in salt water efectu-
ally checks its progress and preserves the
remainder of the timber. Of the Oldest
known timber, that in the Egyptian temples,
1000 years old, nothing is said as to the
causes of its preservation.

Lemonade for an Invalid.

This is too often made by simply squeez-
ing lemon into tumbler, picking the pips
out with spoon, and then adding sugar and
cold water. The best method of making
lemonade is to peel the lemons, or otherwise
the lemonade will be bitter !; cut them into
slices, taking away the pipS, and then pour.
ing boiling water on the slices, adding, OF
course, sufficient sugar to sweeten. This,
after being well stirred, and the pulp pressed
with spoon, must be carefully strained
through piece of fine muslin, and allowed
to get cold When cold, piece of ice is a
great improvement. Cold, weak lemonade
made this way, not too sweet, is one of the
most refreshing drinks possible for hot wealth
err; and in cases where there is tendency
to take fluid too often, a tendency we fear
rather of the age in which we live, large
lug of lemonade, made in the manner we
have described, will often prove a harmless
substitute for glass of sherry, or little
drop of cold brandy and water, or glass of
beer, as the case may Bee. Intelhgencer.

Art Gallery of A. T. Stewart.

Mr.. Stewart possessed one of the largest
and most costly private art galleries in the
country. He had been for many years a
large buyer of pictures, but his collection
did not become noted until the completion of
his gallery, which is situated in the rear
part of his house. He then devoted large
part of his time to collecting works of the
more famous of modern artists. His first
purchases Of Importance were made at the
sale of the Dusseldorf collection, which was
on exhibition for some time at DIR. Chaplin 8
Church several years ago. He seemed to
prefer the works of foreign artists, and
among his selections were paintings by
Achenbach, Sohn, Camphausen, HasSen.
clever, and other noted artists of the same
school. He followed the same general rule
in the selection of his pictures as in his bust
ness transactions, and never purchased at a
price which be considered exorbitant. His
somewhat arbitrary choice and his evident
reluctance to accept the advice Of friends,
sometimes led him into buying pictures which
were comparatively worthless, and some of
these never secured place in his gallery
A few years ago, while in Europe, he gave
commissions to several celebrated artists, and
in this way, and also by purchase, he made
his most important art acquisitions. Among
the artists represented in these later pur-
chases were Ger1me, Knaus, Meissonier,
Fortuny, BOuguereau, Boldini, zamacois,
Baugniet, Pioty and others. One of the
later additions is that masterpiece of Meis-
sonier, entitled "1S07," or "Charge des
Cuirassiers," for which Mr.. Stewart paid
SOC, 900 francs. The last picture placed in
his gallery was "The Chariot Race" by
G6r6ne, which is a companion piece to the
celebrated Gladiator" by the same artist
A painting by Boldini, entitled GA Fee Day
at Trisnon," for which Mr.. Stewart paid
100000 france, ia now on its way to this
country. Among Mr.. Stewards most noted
pictures are "The Horse Fair" by Rosa
Bonheur, which formerly belonged to the
Wright collection, and ''The Prodigal Son."
by Dubufe. The works Of many French
artists, who painted the scenes of common
life, he did not possess, his taste seeming to
be rather for large pictures and bright color

uted to his gallery are Boulanger, Compte,
Cot, Daubigpy, Detaile, Fichel, Francois,
Fee, Pills, Tfoyon, Yvon, Merle, Gallait,
NicOl, Kaulbach, ROBBIE, Verboeckhoyen,
Stevens. Madrazo. and, among the noted
artists of this country, Church, Bierstadt,
Gignoux, james M. Hart, James II. Beard,
and Arthur Parton. Me-. Stewart was also
the posseesor Of some Of the ineat statuary
in the city, His latest acquisition in this
department of art was Powers's "Eve," which
he purchased for $4,000. TIE celebrated
"Greek Slave" by the same sculptor, also
has place in his gallery.-Tribu
