MIRAGES.
[sx AMOS K. JoNEs.I

TBY AMOS K. JoNEs.l
,O'er desert waste, in southern land,
With an aching brow and a weary hand,
A stranger toiled, and his weak, frail franz
Could battle i'll with the ills that came,
No tree nor flower his eye begulles,
But sandy stretch of miles on miles.
The hot sun blazed, and that ceaseless hum
OF insect life, to his dull ears come;
His strength was gone, and his parcheo
tongue
Sang not the songs that he erst had sung,
While a look of despair and pain there lies
In the lucid depths of his longing eyes.
But 10! on the rim of the farthest verge,
Where the mountains, sky and the wide
plains merge,
He saw lake of the purest blue!
Mid foliage rank, and of every hue,
From the green and gray Of the sycamore
To the crimson fruit that cactus bore!
And princely palms as grandly rise
AS ever was, were seen meath the Arab skies,
Where palms are poets, whose sweet song
seems
To recall the soul of forgotten dreams;
Yea, glorious dreams of the youthful mind
Vaguely remembered, and underlined.
The tagging feet of the singer pressed
With less of pain toward the promised rest,
And cen in fancy his brow was laved
BY the ripping winds. The tall trees
waved
And a languid sense of deliciousness
At sight of the water he soon might press
But look; oh, look! and he stood aghast,
For the tops of the palms were fading fast,
And the foliage green dissOled away,
Till the mirage lake like mirror lay,
And then it smaller and smaller grew,
And disappeared from his longing view!
Then he moaned, as it fate to perish here
When rest thought was near, so near!
But all my life when joys seemed fair,
I have reached for them, but they were
not there.
Fame, honor and health have led,
Like mirage lakes. and like them, fed.
With heartbroke wall and a smothered
cry,
He threw him down on the sands to die,
When something he felt against him press
With gentle touch, like a sweet caress,
And he drew from his bosom a clasp of
gold,
Curiously carved, and quaint and old,
And nesting the golden lids between
Was the pictured face of maiden queen.
Ave, royal queen Ger his wild, strong heart, |
Which she held in thrall by the sweetest art. |
She had dawned on his soul like beaute-
Gus beam,
Or the glorious thoughts of an opium
dream.
The snowy breadth of her brow so fair
Half hid in the wealth of her long, dark
hair;
And you could read in her soul-lit eyes
A tale of love and its mysteries;
And her nature, born of the passionate
South,
Was told by the curves Of her warm, red
mouth.
He rose and tried to be strong again,
And it seemed that the sun shOne less with
pain;
It seemed that fragrant and redolenl
breeze
Was waited to him from the far off seas.
The growing light in his dark, bright eye
Was born of lOVe-Well, he did not die.
But do not know, to this very hour,
Whether that love, like blooming flower
Sprang up in his path, and grew not dim
When clasped to the passionate heart Of
him,
Or whether, amid the worlds fierce strife
Il was a mirage set in the plains of life.

Spectator of Sept 7th, in q remarkable
rticIe showing practically that Eng

ward to the time when her factories
will close one by one Her iron and
coal mines will be shut up, like the

Ter FORCES will be blown out? the ships
will be laid up to rot, and SO forth.
The suggested remedy is the discov-
cry of some new industry to replace
those already wanting. The writer is
certified as ore Of the shrewdest and
ablest men of the day. Specializing
upon the social and political future, ne
SAYS: Taxation will be light, for the

yond the new means. The throne
will be gone, as too expensive aud
useless to the country, organized like
Switzerland, will be thinly people by
