GLEANINGS FROM THE MUSE.
: GEORGE THE SECONDS DREAM.

King George awoke from a troubled sleep;
AZ" Il have had a bad DREAM he said; b. ~
Then he kicked the pillows across the room,
ksf And the lords of the chamber fed. ffr
No need TO wonder assuch thing,
- For George was choleric little king.
But the queen in her beauty sought his face,
tit.l And she spoke In an accent mild; IN
What is it that grieves my lord the king 2?
- Then he grew like little child,
and said, /" have had a bad dream, my queen,
And the devil may know what it can mean.
az saw a strange and beautiful land;
= Its meadows were yellow with wheat, ~
q Its stately rivers went down to the sea, ak { .
- On every river feet;
~ There were lofty mountains and valleys fine,
And the scent of flowers and fruits and wine.
Hurry OF trade in its cities saw,
And people from every strand, .'l &
But always heard but the English tongue,
So the land, knew, was 1ay land.
Tnen I touched my scepter, and crown, and sword

- '"Nay; a woman came who had eyes like stars

u And she said, king wilt thou see the child

Scientific and Useful.

In recent lecture delivered in Edin-
burgh, on the Stars" Professor Grant
gave graphic idea of the immensely of
space. He said railway train travel
ing night and day, at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, would reach the moon in
six months, the sun in two hundred
years, and Alpha Centauri, the nearest
of the fixed stars, in $4,000, 900 of years.
A ball from gun, travelling at the rate
of nine hundred miles an hour, would
reach Alpha Centauri in 2, 700, coo years;
while light, travelling at the rate of
$4,000 miles second, would not reach
it in less than three years Light from
some of the telescope stars would take
$3.50 years to reach the earth; and,
from some of these clusters the dis
lance is so great that light would take
50O,O 900 years to pass to the earth; so
that we see objects not as they really
are, but as they were 100000 years ago.
Carbolic acid is recommended by a

The protective value of trees in thun-
der-storms was considered by NJ. du
Moncel, in paper lately communicated
to the Paris Academy of Sciences.
Trees, he said, were all conductors of
electricity, their conductivity increasing
with the quantity of liquid they con-
tanned. An ordinary house, however,
offered from sixteen to twenty times as
much resistance to the Transmission of
electricity as an ordinary tree, and,
therefore, the tree might be considered
protection to the house, if it equaled
or exceeded the house in height. On
| by rain, its electrical conductivity is 50
much augmented that the author
thought the protective value of the tree
might then depend solely upon its ex-
cess in elevation over the housetop. AL
though trees may thus shelter houses to
some extent, it is very dangerous for in
dividuals to take refuge under tree in
thunder shower, as has been repeat
eddy demonstrated by many of the nu-
merous lightning accidents lastsummer
A trial is now being made at Ports
mouth, England, of an invention which
consists in sheathing ships with paper,
fixed on with a perpendicular cement !;
on paper seaweeds will not grow, nor
will barnacles adhere to it. The results
so far are said to be very encouraging.
A mixture of carbolic acid and spirit
of turpentine, in equal weights, is pro-
posed for the destruction of the wood
boring worms found in Office and other
furniture, wainscoting, etc. 1t must be
applied in such way that it enters
every hole. Its disagreeable smell
passes off in an hour, and it is in no way
injurious to wood or hangings. ee5
Starch, bean flour, sand, gum, mucil
age and gelatine are used as adulterants
of honey. They are readily recognized,
as they all, except sand, tbicken on
heating, while the pure honey becomes
thinner under such a condition.

SYMPATHY

My little daughter on my knee,
Looks up and crows delightfully."-;
Her only language to express
Her perfect joy and happiness,
But well know the look and tone
Love has an utt'rance Of its own.
My littlesdaughter on my knee,
With wee, sad face looks up to Inc, r
She has no word to speak her woe, ~
But never words could move me so;

And with her griefs sympathlze.
Thus, though her often changing mood
BY me be little understood,

That moves her easy smiles or tears
In all her gladness 1 am glad,
In all her sadness I am sad l.

The all-wise heart of Him who knows
All human joys, all human woes,
And evermore SO tenderly

About 10 O'Clock Saturday night. as
Mr.. Miner of the town Of Langola. Ben

to Mr.. MoInll's. having with him his
wife and three children. he was attack
ed BY five large timber wolves. The
fierce beasts sprang at his horses. and
when Mr.. Miner struck at the nearest
one with his whip it made leap to get
to him. but struck against the wagon
box. Atthis moment Mr.. Miners dog
bravcly attacked this wolf. and was set
upon by the whole pack and killed, and
devoured. This gave Mr.. Miner an
opportunity to whip uD his horses

Fish Destruction and Preservation.

The Petersburg Post mentions a very
destructive disease among the fish,
which j. said to prevail to an alarming
extent in Rappahannock and other
rivers in Virginia. At some points the
shad are attacked by trichin@, and the
perch were to be seen in great numbers
lying dead along the shores. 1t ia
stated bya correspondent O. the Post
that forty-fve years ago as many as
%. see, GOO Of shad and 7jQ0000o0 Of
herring were caught annually III the
Potomac river. while now it Is est
mated that not over 100000 .had are
caught in that stream. Professor
Baird SAYS I'VE have destroyed them
by fish murder and the weapons used
were gil nets aud other destructive
contriyances. In spawning season the
fish have been mercilessly pursued and
not sivena moments rest"
All causes Of the destruction Of fish
from evor source should engage the
attention OF fish commissioners and be
removed by the most stringent Legal
remedies. In regard TO Hichin;c in
shad. however, the Richmond Wing.
whose editor La, paid special attention
to fish culture, says that i excited alarm
at one time in tie North, but on inyes-
tisation wa. found to be imaginary. All
fish, aud perhaps all animals. have
parasites, just as biz heas Lave little
hcas, to feed on them.
