EGYPTIAN WONDERS.

1t is SAID that an Egyptian Prince
dreamed one night of an obelisk, and
when he awoke ordered his engineers
and his workmen to carve in solid stone
the strange and useless device. An OBJ
elisk resembles nothing so much as the
fanciful figures of dream.
The square pillar of peculiar form,
often carved with hieroglyphics, and
commemorating the name and exploits of
its founder. These solitary pillars of
stone, sometimes more than hundred
feet in height, are formed of one block
or piece, and must have been cut in the
quarry with incessant labor. They
abound in Egypt, and were a common
decoration of its immense temples. Lat
er, several of them were transported on
great RATS or ships to the city of Rome.
There are in all twelve IN that city. One
of them is l09 feet high without the
base-a solid piece of granite. Europe
has despoiled Egypt of its obelisks. Par
is has one; London another. crumbling
away on the banks of the Thames; and
we have one in New York. The dream
of the Egyptian Prince seems to have
strong interest for all ages.
All Egypt. its history, its cities, its
buildings, its mummies, gods, cats. bulls,
hawks. sphynxes, the Memnonium. re-
semble the fancies of dream. The Nile
flows through its sandy plain, and covers
it with fertility. Late discoveries have
shown that it is one of the longest rivers
in the world, rising among the high
mountains of Africa, and fed by immense
lakes. In Egypt it overhows its banks
every year, and covers the land with a
rich deposit of mud. On its shores are
the ruins of the strangest of all architec-
ture, the works of the ancient Egyptians
immense, grand, awful. They are the
largest of all buildings. ST. Paul's Ca
thedral or even St Peters at Rome,
would be lost in the vast circuit of the
columns of Luxor and Karnak. AS one
passes them by moonlight on the smooth
stream. they seem, it is SAID. the palaces
of giants. One temple was mile and a
half in circumference. The Pyramids ex-

STOLEN KISSES.

In silence and hush of dream,
With never a sound TO be heard,
But touch of lips in the gleam
Ofthe fire, and never a word;
The echo will ever repeat,
Breaking the silence in twain,
"Stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in vain!"
For kiss would maiden wake
From the charm of dreamful sleep,
And touch of true love would break
The peace that the blue eyes keep.
For ever the echo shall greet.
Like song of a ripening rain.
"Stolen kisses are always sweet.
And love is never in vainl"
When hearts and lips have grown cold,
And love lives but for an hour;
When life's romance has been told,
And kisses have lost their power,
Then shall soft memory feet,
No more dream to enchain;
Yet stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in vain.
