II am sitting alone in the gardea to-day, though

We have gathered the fruit and gsrnered the

All the beds on the terrace are yet aglow and
the roses are clustering still.
But the tenderer blossoms are all laid low, and
the evening breeze grows chill,
tiue-serving robin comes chirrnping near; he

When the beds shall be bare and the woodlands

The children are shouting, with kite and with

And IL have stolen away from them all, just TO
write TO you once again.
But of what can l tell you. my only friends
That miss You by night and BY day.
That the dreariest hours are these that l spend
since the one when you jonrneyed away!
That your form seems beside me when others are

That regrets VIII srise and ambitions .'s-s II

There was never an echoed step on the stair, or a
form at the turn of the street,
But my heart leapt up ready togreet you there
and to throb at the sound of your feet
Yet here, where the bracken wave under the

IL is here IN this home that was yours and mine,
that your spirit seems lingering still:
And on DAYS like this wien the Summer Is done

the newspapers of the accident which
hefell Sir Hedworth Williamson on
Friday night, when, i'll tho presence OF
5000 people assembled IN the Newcastle
Theatre to greet lord Harrington, he
stuck fast in al arm chair of inadequate
size. There was another comical in
cident of the same festival of which !
have not seen an account. IL happened
on Thursday, at the luncheon given to
Lord Harrington in the new School of
Art and Science. There was large
gathering of local members Of parlla.
ment, all ranged mt the crosstable
graced by the presence of the guest OF
the day; and at the end. Just at the
edge of the platform, sat Mr.. Doods, the
member for Stockton. The Dean OF
Durham was on his legs, replying to the
toast of "the ministers Of all denomi.
nations, appropriately proposed by Mr..
Cowen. Now, the Dean, doubtless ow.
ing TO much preaching, has contracted
~ certain infection OF the voice
somnoently reminiscent OF the pulpit.
Moreover, he was u trille prosy, not TO
say loug-winded. After he had talked
for about five minutes. Mr.. Doods was
observed to he deliberately noddinp
acquiescence in his remarks. Then
the honorable members head sunk
upon his breast in an attitude of pro-
found reflection; and five minutes later

Mr.. Dodds' chair was empty! The Dean
had been too much for him. He had

In a recent paper to the French acad.
envy, Nj. Dienlafait states that copper
exists IN complete dissemination
throughout the whole thickness of the
primordial formations, the proportions
varying much, but in no case was it
necessary to use more than 100 grains
of rock in order to isolate the metal.
Copper also exists in all ordinary direct
sedimentary deposits from principal
rocks, whether Sllurian and iAfru.Silur-
ian or reaching into the Trlas. 1t has
never been recognized directly in sea-
water, but the last mother waters ofthe
tain some of it. Thus estimated, one
cubic metre of natural Mediterranean
water contains at least 0.0l grains of
copper. The black slime, always very
sulphurous, deposited in natural or ar
tihcial basins when sea-water is left to
itself, always contains copper. The
metal is accumulated in sensible guam
titles III sea-water wherever this has
long washed the debris of primordial
rocks; and this copper is precipitated
when las in abandonment of sea-water
to itself in basins or estuaries) substanc-
es are produced capable of forming in
soluble combinations with copper.
Thus are indicated the conditions of
formations Of ores Of copper. One con
sequence of the dissemination Of copper
through the primordial rocks is that all
waters mineralized in this formation or
in its immediate dependencies should
contain copper.

A Romance OF the Snow Blockade.

The particulars of the affair have
just come to our possession, and, al.
though it is to be presumed that the
parties most intimately interested have
no particular desire to court notoriety
on account of their romantic expe-
rience, it will do no harm so long as no
names are mentioned. 1t may be
stated, however. that tho hero of the
affair is bookkeeper in q prominent
manufacturing establishment in this
city, and that he loved, both wisely and
well, . maiden who resided with her
parents In q small village . few miles
this side Of New York City. That she
did not entirely discourage his suit may
be inferred from the fact that they had
decided to marry and become Is one on
Christmas Day, and every preparation
was made for the consummatj Of
their earthly hopes. The ceremony, Of
course, was to be performed at the
young lady's home, and the day before
Christmas the expected groom packed
hia dress suit In . trunk and started
for the scene in which he was to play
% important : part But occasionally
the best-laid plans are most ehectually

In the late summer OF 1873 little

hours immoyable. When disturbed
they were rapid in their movements,
frequently jumping out Of the water.
When swimming vertically they usu-
ally moved obl:quely, the tail being
carried lower than the head. When
one of these was looked ut in profile,
its right eye could be seen through the
head, slightly in advance and little
above the left eye; owing to the great
transparency of the body, the right eye
was then nearly as useful IS if placed
on the left side. Gradually it rose.
until in about six days it was well
above the left eye; shortly after, won-
derful to relate, it was seen to sink
into the tissues at the base Of the DOR
sal fin between this and the frontal;
slowly it sank until the huge orbit be-
came reduced to a mere circular OPEN
ing. Little by little this became
smaller and smaller, the eye pushed its
way deeper into the tissues, until an
additional opening was formed on the
left side. At this stage there were
three orbital openings, though Of
course but two eyes. The original or
right-orbital opening soon became
closed and the colored side had its two
eyes. Nature.
