New COMPASS. Mr.. Stephen Longfellow. &
nephew of the poet, has it is said invented a com
pass which is wholly insensible to local attraction
such as is caused by the iron used in naval con
struction or the carrying of large masses of iron
III cargo. The bowl Of the compass is surrounded
by tour magnets in the form of segments each
segment one sixth of the circle. They are insu-
lated by means OF porcelain or glass knobs so com
pietely that six pound magnet placed within a
very short distance fails to affect them These
ihaghetlc segnents are put in slides around the
upper part of the bowl of the compass, and being
attacned TO Jolnted arms they can be readily ad-
Justed 10 the plane OF the chord in broken circle
or grouped together on side of the compass
lhelr ordinary position is in the plane of the
chord, extending around the upper rim of the bowl
and distant therefrom only about one fourth of an
inch. This is not wholly unlike the invention of
Professor Airy. 1t has however stood tests as
no other compass has done. and is regarded as a
valuable discovery by competent judges
AN UPRIGHT LIFE APPRECIATED. An incident
creditable to all parties concerned recently occur
red IN connection with the failure of a firm in this
city. 1t was an old fashioned failure; the balance
sheet OF the concern was which would bear
close Inspection and everything was given up to
satisfy the demands of the creditors. The head of
the firm, an old gentleman in his 86th year, was
left pennlless and without the means of support
In this junction military association with which
he had been connected from his Younger DAYS met
to devise means for his relief and an ARRANGEMENT
was effected by which he is secured an income of
Si2O0 per year for the rest of his days. 1t is a
pleasant incident in these days of dishonest bank
ruptcies and mammon worship. boston Traveller

The Dreaniland Sea.

W hat matter though my pilgrim feet
May never press the strangers land.
Or wander lone where wild waves beat
W 18th ceaSelesS moan on oceans strand
For me expands lovelier deep.
W hose Isles in visioned beauty sleep,
And never ocean waves could be
50 bright as thine fair Dreamland Sea-
My castle crowns the boldest steep,
by warning winds and waters scared,
mat seward leans and Ger the deep
Keeps evermOre unceasing ward
Fuii frelghted with their wings of snow,
The white ships come the white ships go
While in the shade of cliff and towers
l dream away the gliding hours
With names foam hecked and tossing free,
The waves, wild coursers of the sea-
Race swiftly to the level strand,
And struggling die upon the sand.
The shells that sparkle at my feet
Strange tales of wind and waves repeat.
The weird romance, the mystery
OF the dark caverns of the sea.
Ny fairy fleet that long has lain
close moored in some enchanted bay.
Borne by falr gales across the main,
SAILS swiftly on its homeward way
Ny ships, my stately ships see
Full many a royal argosie.
LAKE, whlte-winged birds they speeding come
And bring their gathered treasures home
Pearls from the mermaid's watery cell
Pure gold from sunny orient lands,
with many rosy chambered shell
And jewel wrought by elin hands
Crosses and amulets of price,
Of sandal wood and sacred palm
Embossed with many fair device,
And odCrous with tropic balm.

There used to be an old joke--and is there such
thing as new one about very small minister
who went into a very high pulpit, and after an
nouncing in weak, tremulous voice the text: "A
little while, and We shall not me-, stumbled off
the stool and fell over backwards, much to the
edldcation of the congregation. An English peer
made as sudden and sensational an exit fortnight
ago while attending the Clifton Conference on
Confession. He was sitting in conspicuous posi-
ton upon the platform, within view of the assem-
bly,. when trap door opened under his chair.
There shrek Lord Radstock's heels were
seen where moment before his head had been
and then. with great crash, his lordship and his
chair disappeared below, and the trap flew back.
\ horrible suspicion fell upon the Conference for
few of the Evangelical audience had ever seen
anything so complete and dramatic before: and
every one looked into his neighbours eyes for an
explanation The hair of the good Bishop Ander
son stood on end, for if the devil had flown away
with an Evangelical peer his turn might come
yet. But III a few minutes the eclipse of so much
Right Honorable piety was all explained. A CON
juror had had the use Of the room a few days be
fore, and this trapdoor was the exit of of his
characters.

THE SWEETHEART OF THE PERIOD

he SWEETHEART OF The PERIOD
whispered in my darling's ear,
.Sweet, do you love me yttf''
She blushed, then came In accent clear
The soft reply, "You bet!'
'Oh, could I die for you,'' cried,
"My charming, winsome eIf!''
She lifted up her eyes and sighed,
II know how It's myself!"
"My dear" "Oh, hush, for goodness sake"
She cried, "or pa will hear,
And such fuss and row he'll make,
You'd walk off on your ear"
Iwaited breathless till a creak
Was heard up overhead:
There now" said she, "'twill do to speak.
He's in his little bed"
She nestled closely at my side,
With most confding manner;
Said I, II want you for my brides"
Said she, That's what ails Hammer"
Then let the blessed day be soon."
breathed with anxious sigh;
She said, well, say the fourth Of June,
How will that do for high9"
Iclasped her to my throbbing breast;
My heart overlooked with Joy,
She sighed, her cheeks to mine close press'd,
''You are brick, my boy"
I told her she was sweet and fair
As angels in the sky!
She said, Don't latter, sir; take care;
That's all in your eye"
I said she was the queen of girls
The fairest girl e'er born;
She laughed and shook her sunny curls,
81 am! Yes, in horn.''
whispered, bending down my head,
''Your lips are like cherry
She took my meaning Laughed and said,
''Well I'm your huckleberry."
The clock struck twelve while thus we sat,
Breathing the old, old story;
'sNo, no." said she, don't get your hat,
We ara all hunkydory."
Twas thus wooed and won my Grace,
with the charms that so .adorn her,
And she says the wedding must take place
In the s'church around the corner.'
