All Through the Day.

"-s the day never so long,
Ii ringeth at last unto even-song.'
-lQueen EliZabeth's Book of Hours
All through the day, my love, watching thine eye
Holding thy hand in mine, will be nigh;
cannot cheer thee, love, yet will stay;
will be near thee, love, all through the day.
All through the day, my love- seeking in vain
Wings for the hours that pass weighted with pain;
All things drear to thee, nothing is gay;
Yet am dear to thee, so will stay
All through this day of ours though it be long,
Open for flowers, wakens no song;
Reddens the autumn leaf, withers the rose
All through this way of ours unto the close.
Worn is thy frame, my love, wan is thy cheek,
Low thine accents, and broken and weak,
Yet sweet is silence, the words that we say
Are sweet, as l sit by thee all through the day.
All through the day. my love- all through the day.
Steals the swift shadow on. life fits away;
Soft will our sleep be then, happy and light,
All through the night, my love- all through the night

An old gentleman from the East, Of
a clerical aspect, took the stage from
Denver south in ante-railroad days.
The journey was not altogether a safe
one, and he was not rc-assured by
the sight Of number of rifles depos-
tied in the coach, and nervously asked
for what they were.
perhaps you'll find out before you
git to the Divide, was the cheering
reply.
Among the passengers was partic-
ularly (it seemed to him) fierce-look-
ing man, girded with belt full of re-
volvers and cartridges, and clearly
road agent or assassin. Some miles
out, this person, taking out large
flask, asked, Stranger, do you irri-
gate?''
"If you mean drink, sir, l do not.
DO you object, stranger, to our IL
rigating?
mo, sir. And they drank accord
ingly.
After further distance had been
traversed, the supposed brigand again
asked:
stranger, do you fumigate?''
''lf you mean smoke, sir, do not. >
''Do you object, stranger, to our fu-
migating?
mo, Sir And they proceeded to
smoke.
At the dining g-place, when our friend
came to tender his money, the propri-
etor said, your bills paid
!,
That man"-pointing to the sup
posed highwayman, who, on being
asked if he had not made a mistake,
replied, Not at all You see, when
we saw that you didn' irrigate and
didn't fumigate, we knew that you
was a parson. And your bills are all
right as long as you travel with this
crowd. We've got respect for the
church-you bet!' It was no high
wayman, but a respectable resident Of

BY HENRY BURTON.
Never a word is said.
But it trembles in the air.
And the truant voice has sped.
To vibrate everywhere:
And perhaps far off in eternal years
The echo may ring upon our ears.
Never are kind acts done
To wipe the weeping eyes.
But like flashes of the sun,
They signal to the skies;
And up above the angels read
How we have helped the sorer need.
Never a day is given.
But it tones the after years,
And it carries up to heaven
Its sunshine or its tears:
While the to-morrows stand and wait.
The silent mutes by the outer gate.
There is no end to the sky.
And the stars are everywhere,
And time is eternity,
And the here is over there:
For the common deeds of the common day
Are ringing bells in the far-away.

The phenomenon of the perfora-
ton of rocks by sand carried on the
wind has been observed in the Valley
of the Rhone in France. A very vio-
lent wind often prevails in the neigh
borhood of Uzes, and drives large guam
titles of sand against band of quartz
ose pebbles contained in tertiary
soil: The pebbles contain cavities
which might be believed to have been
made by human hands, but which are
really produced by the often renewed
friction of the sandy particles against
their surface.

Sandwich Islands are reached, the
greatest depth being 5000 fathoms, at
a distance of about four hundred miles
