Tourists Disenchantlnents.

The Christian Weekly touches upon the
timely topic of "Tourlsts' Disenchant-
ments." Its words certainly accord with
the experiences of many travellers: ,oa
awe all start with prec onceived notions
concerning the many objects of interest to
be seen abroad. Most of them are incor-
rect. however. And finding this cut is
rather rough, sometimes, to ones vanity.
But it is better to be right, certainly, than
| to be wrong. 7E
Westminster Abbey is wonderful in 8
stereoscope, but in fact is inexpressibly
are beautiful but you cannot sleep below
the second story Of the picturesque cot
| tages without risk of q fever. The Alpine
passes ara surprisingly sublime, but there
the beggars are what begg rs description.
Paris is the most exquisitely built city
in the world but they peddle poor water
there at SO much "a pint. The dress of the
Italian peasant has all the variation which
| orr school books represent, and then in ad-
dition folornness and filth that do not ap-
pear in the pictures. The battlefield of
Joshua, seen from Upper Bethoron, is one
| of the finest landscapes on tie globe !; but
the old Sheik's house, from the roof of
which you behold it, reeks with odors
more than unspeakable. The Coliseum Is
o splendid old ruin, but all the moss-cov-
cred stories are full of green lizards, and
the patches Of green are fairly alive with
various vermin. Even Mount Olivet, SO
bright with reverent illusions at the home
distant, is discovered to bs hot overhead,
desolate under foot and verdureless every
where.
Thus almost all ones cherished concep-
tions are rudely shocked when he approach
es the fact. The very discomforts of Jour
neying render him querulous. There is
needed certain fixed power and rigorous
exercise Of abstraction all the time when
viewing the scenes, so as to discriminate
between what ia historically sublime and
what is actually disagreeable. II requires
the calming, sitting process of after-refec-
tion to reach fitting conclusions that are
valuable.
Most all travellers aie really disappoint-
ed with the first of almost all the things
they went forth to see. They were small.
er, narrower, lower than they imagined
they were rougher, ruder and dirtier than
they supposed. All the glamour they had
been wont to fling around . given scene or
obiact vanished at last when thew stood
before it. But afterward-an hour. or
day or a week, or year afterward, out
came that old ideal again, but this time,
finer than before, because truer and more
real. Then the new vision passes into
memory and more beautiful.

The Electric Light in Warfare.

The adoption of the electric light as q
means of illuminating the paths of ship,
at sea during the night has, as we recently
pointed out, been followed by the applica-
tion of this powerful Illuminating agent to
the purposes of naval warfare and some of
our iron-clads have been fitted with lights
and rejecting apparatus, which will be
of great service IN protecting them from
midnight attacks from torpedo boats as
those recently made on Turkish iron-clads
in the Black Sea and the Danube. The
Russian government, it seems, are now
turning their attention to the uses of the
electric light as an illuminator for military
purposes. In some experiments recently
made at st. Petersburg. with the special
object of Increasing the distance to which
the light produced by electricity may be
thrown, it is found that thu power of the
light is greatly augmented by covering
the carbon burner with thin sheet of cop
per. By this means the celebrated Alien
eek lamp was made to increase the power
of It's light from 1920 to 16, ,255 candles,
and even this great power was raised to
that represented by the light of 20, ,275 can
dies by slight alteration in the position
of the carbon and its covsring-viz. by
turning it toward the dilecjiou of the OBJ
iect required to be lighted. 1t was found
that this light was sufficiently powerful to
render objects visible at distance of over
three thousand yards. These results show
that the improvements now being made in
the system of electric light, or the lime
light as it.was originally called, are likely
to have an important bearing in the system
of modern warfare To a garrison provi-
ded with two or three such sentinels, night
susprises would have no fears and in the
arts OF peace the vivid and easily controll-
ed light thus produced will have still more
valuable results,

POETRY
SOLDIERS OF PEACE.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.

Tread at the reunion of the Army of the Potomac
1t Providence, on Wednesday, May 30l
1t is the brave that first forget
And noble foes that first unite;
Not they who strife and passion whet,
Then stink when comes the need to smite.
'Tis mutual courage that forgives,
And answering honor that outliyes
The onset's hour the battles's day;
The hearts that dare are quick to feel:
The hands that wound are soft to heal
The blood that dims hero's steel
His proud tears wash away!
One holier sun awaSes at last
For North and South the blithe, bright hours
No more upon our dead are cast
The once divided gift of flowers:
But where the live-oak hides in moss,
And where the plumy larches toss
Their arms above the Mayfower's bed.
And where wide waves of prairie crawl
To meet, far-west, their mountain wall,
The Peoples voice says, " Peace to all!
We homer equal dead"
Oh, never, from our elm tree shades
SO sweetly piped the thrush, as now;
Nor mid the lonely Everglades,
The mocking- bird on cypress bough!
Nor wild grass wove by meadow rills,
Nor clover on the happy hills,
So soft carpet for the Spring!
Bound in each hand that fam wou;d spoil;
The truce of God upon our soil
Descends, like Sabbath after toll
Soldiers of Peace!-In war began
Your service and it must not cease
Until the soldier through the man
Has conquered and eDnobled peace!
Frank eyes of youth grow bright. to trace
A spell or each historic face
That sets your lives their own above;
And woman's homage, sweet and shy,
Not woman's pride shall dare deny,
Since he who readiest is to die
Is truest in his love!
One loyal habit summons all
From out the dust of old desires;
One spark of truth your deeds let fall
Shall fill the land with fresher fires!
Though Youths belief be manhood's doubt,
And generous hopes be trampled out
Ry cynlc scorn or selfish will,
Yet honor stays, devotion burns
And pride that means concession spurns;
No man his early faith unearns,
And keeps his manhood still.
This, Soldiers, be your chosen fate,
Your fame that longer shall endure
'Tis nobler. thus to save State,
But nobler yet to make it pure
For all whose swords were mavely crossed
There is no true eau se that was lost !!
Defeat unites with Victory
To win for each, grauder aim
One Fatherland redeemed from blame;
One Past. of sadder, prouder fame
One Future, just and free !!
