DREAM-LAND.
DY MAY Y. GUILLor.
FOR THE SUNDAY HERALD.

DER the star-lit "sea of sleep"
Where the white winged dream-ships fly,
Ger the midnlghts solemn deep,
Where the dream winds softly sigh,
Weary mortals sail each night
In their barks with care Oppressed,
And their oars are once more light,
And their hearts find dreamy rest
There, dream-isle sweetly lies,
With its hills of silvery mist
Meath the glare OF twinkling skies,
BY the dream stars brightly kissd.
There, the dream birds thrill their song,
And the melting silver notes,
The bright, dreamy cliffs along,
Murm' ringly, and swectly floats.
There, the dream-waves sing and sigh,
In a music, ripping, sweet.
And the dream winds rustic by
On their pinions. light and fleet
And the dream ships dance like stars
On the foam gemmed sea that sings,
And their snowy sails and spars
SllNc ike DTedUls WIFI plhutoh WihoS'
From these ships dream. faces peer
On the decks bright dream.eyes glow
And they chant dream songs of cheer
To the ships that come and CO.
The bright Dream-land's far away
Ger the star gemmed ''sea of Sleep
And the mortal tired of day
Loves to cruise the dreamy deep.
On the silent sea OF night
Bursts the Dream-land to our view
And the dream stars twinkle bright
In their halls of ether blue.
Mortals revel mid its isles,
Till they quite forget their pain,
But the morn their Dream beguiles
And the real dawns again.
And the poet dreams his dreams,
In the Dream land fair and bright,
And his verse like starry beams,
Floats from out. his Dreams at night.
Floats in rhymes of dreamy song,
From the Dream land far off shore,
And the music steals along
To our sea-where tempests roar.
And the tempests wild are stilled!
And the mortaps aching heart,
With sudden joy is thrilled,
BY the poets rhymes of art
Sing, sweet poet! weave thy dreams
Into rhyming music light!
All thy songs, like Heaven-born beams
To our hearts bring sunshine bright.

HOW WATCHES ARE NAOE.

It will be apparent to any one who will examine
SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing, a large
proportion Of tbs PRECIOUS METAL used is
needed only to etiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place. and supply the necessary seldty
and strength. The surplus gold is actually need
less so far as UTILITY and beauty are concerned.
In JAMES BOSS, PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES
this WASTE Of precious metal is overcome, and the
SAME soL1D1rY and STRENGTH produced at from
ethird to onehalf the usual cost Of solid cases
This process is of the most simple nature, as fol-
lows: Plate of nickel composition metal, especial
ly adapted to the purpose has two plates of SOLID
GOLD soldered one on each side. The three are
then passed between polished steel rollers, and the
result is strip of heavy plated composition, from
which the cases, backs centres bezes, ETC., cut
and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these is sufficiently thick to aont of
all kinds of chasing, engraving and epame]ing; the
engraved cases have been carried until worn per
fectly smooth by time and use without removing
the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO
PLATES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED
BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

LOVE AND DEATH.

-
What comfort this to souls that dread their fate,
Though IN thick darkness long their image lie.
Oblivion shall be lighted soon or late
w some unknown, unconscious passer-by.
I, on the way to meet new love and fair.
Clingins to Eaught in heaven or earth beside
Felt my dead love returning unaware,
10 seize the heart where reigned breathing
bride.
For 10, there passed me on my altered course,
4 stranger. who, despite the strangeness, wore
What stem1ned new passion with painful force
The semblance to my bride of years before.
No: this the face OF figure Of my dead,
More or less lovcly-ah, that matters not;
Like hers the way Of speech, the turn of head,
Had this reminder come when loss was new,
How had my heart then Iuivere1 with regret,
And cross-likc anguish thrust me through and
through,
That her own self could never more be met!
But now. warm lips to greet me in au hour
Dismissed the wish for hers, long turned to dust:
The past surrendered to the presents power,
and l, to-day, grudged not the grave its trust.
1nstehd Of that the thought flashed like bolt,
Shocking my senses Of faith and love sincere;
"IAe day has come, you would not have her
here"
i had been sure, with grief at awful height,
That other love could never, never be;
But law and gospel giving ample right,
start to-day at times great alchemy.

THE number of mercantile failures, with
the amount of liability,in the United States
for the nnst ten Yenrs have neon as follows:

The large number Of failures in the years
1857 was consequence of the depression
following the revulsion of 1873, while the
exceptionally large figures in 1873 were due
to the general rush to avail of the National
Bankrupt Law, which was repealed in 1879.

The money so appropriated to be cx-

aid for the time being in the development
and maintenance of thc sctool system cs
