THE DREAM OF LIFE.

Twas but a bubble-yet it was bright.
And gaily danced along the stream
Of life's wild torrents in its light
OF sunbeams sparkling-like dream
Ofheaven's own bliss for love'iness-
For flaetncss like a passing thought;
And ever of such dreams Of thee
The tissue of my life is wrought.
For have dreamed Of pleasures when
The sun of young existence smiled
Upon my wayward path. and then
Her promised sweets my hesrt beguiled:
But when | came those sweets to sip
They turned to gall upon my lip.
And 1 have dreamed of friendship. too;
For friendships thought was made
To be mans solace in the shade
And glad him in the light, and 90
| fondIy thought to find a friend
Whose mind with mine would sweetIy blend
And as two placid streams unite.
And roll their waters in one bright
And tranquil current to tire sea,
So might our happy spirits be
Borne onward to eternity.
But he betrayed me with pain
Iuoke-to sleep and drestn again.
And then dreamed of love, and all
The clustered visions of the past
Seemed airy nothings to that last
Bright dream. 1t threw a magical
Enchantment o Cr cxiStence-cGst
A glory-on my path so bright
seenrd to breathe and feel its light;
Bat now that blissful dream is Ger.
And have walked to dream no more.
Beyond the farthest glimmering star
That wrinkles in the arch above,
There is 4 world Of truth and love
Which ear4h's vile passions never mar.
Oh, could l snatch the eagles plumes
And soar to that bright world above.
Which Gods own holy light iilumeS
With gIories of eternal day
How gladly every lingering tic
That binds Inc down to earth II sever,
And leave for that blest home on high,
This Aollow hearted world forever

PROFESSOR RAoUL PICTET, who has been giving
his attention of late to marine architecture, an
nounces a discovery which, if his anticipations be
realized, will effect a revolution in the art Of
ship-buildlng, and greatly augment the speed of
sea-going and other ships, The discovery con-
sists in a new method of construction, and such
an arrangement of the keel as will diminish the
resistance Of the water to the lowest possible
point. Vessels built in the fashion devised by
Professor Pictet, instead Of sinking their prows
in water as their speed increases, will rise out of
the water the faster they go-in such away that
the only parts exposed to the friction of the water
will be the sides Of the hull and the Deighborhood
Of the wheel. In other words, ships thus con-
structed, instead Of pushing their way through
the water. will glide over it. According to the
Professors calculations, in the accuracy Of which
he has the fullest confidence, steamers built
after his design will attain a speed OF from
50 to co kilometres OF to 33 knots) per hour.
4 model steamer on the principle he has dis
covered is in course of construction at Geneva.

THE

Last week a vessel sailed from Southampton,
which in the course of a cruise round the world
will also visit Honolulu. This is the Inter
Oceanic Steam Yachting Company's screw s. S.
CeylOn which has been purchased from the p.
and o. Co. for a 9months' yachting cruise round
the world, in the course of which the passengers
will be able to visit most of the principal places
of interest in both h~emispheres. The vessel has
been fitted out in the most thorough manner for
the purpose, and q. library, pianos and a band
have been provided. The passage money for the
complete and enjoyable tour is $500 for each
passenger. BY the pamphlet of information
before me, l learn that the proposed route
will be as follows Starting from southampton
the vessel proceeds by way of Bordeaux and
Lisbon into the Mediterranean, touching at all
the principal ports of Spain, Italy, Greece, Asia
Minor, then passes through the Suez Canal and
Red Sea to Bombay, Colombo, Madras, Calcutta,
Penang, Singapore. Manila. Hongkong, Shang-
hal, Nagasaki, Hiogo and Yokohama. The
probable date of departure from that place will
be March 2nd 1882, and the arrival at Honolulu
may therefore be expected about the 18th of that
month. After stopping 5 days at the Hawaiian
capital, the CeylOn will go on to San Francisco,
and thence by the west-coast of America, Straits
of Magellan and east coast via Montevideo, Rio
and Bahia, to Madeira, arriving back in England
about July 1882. The CeyLOR, 2110 tons regis
ter, $50 hip, Captain r. Lunham, sailed from
Southampton 2Sth instant with 40 passengers.

PERSONAL NOTES.

l hear that Sir Arthur Gordon, Governor Of
New Zealand, intends to visit England early
next year. 1t IS also understood that Colonial
Office has decided to strengthen the authority Of
the British nag In the Western Pacific by the
appointment of an Assistant High Commits
sioner. Prince Henry of Prussia, hitherto marine
sub-lieutenant and second lieutenant in the LIST
Guards Regiment, has just received his promo
tions as Naval Lieutenant and First Lieutenant
of Infantry. During their stay at Sydney the
British Royal Princes planted some trees near
the spot where Captain Cook first landed in
Australia. Prof. Sir Wyville Thomson, the
scientific chief of the Challenger expedition, is
about TO resign his chair of natural history at the
Edinburgh University, which he has held for the
past II years, as the state of his health is far
from being satisfactory.
