A Realistic Dream.

] sat upon a hilltop, bright and green,
Where gentle zephyrs played among the trees,
And fragrance, from the fower-decked ravine
Was borne upon the softly-swelling breeze
The breath of flowers, waited DER the hill
Up from their home beside the murmurtng
stream,
Which, singing through the valley soft and still,
Lulled the dull senses to refreshing dream.
Quick through the hour the flights of vision play
And heightened fancy paints the scene around;
A magic light, with penetrating ray,
Pierces to depths beneath the yielding ground.
A ruthless hand tears up the smiling face.
And leaves the hill gaping heap fmould
And this, anon, the varied thoughts displace-
Changing It's dullness into shining gold.
What is that sound, along the valley heard?
Which shrilly wakes the echoes far and near
Is that the screaming of some frightened bird,
Telling the world the burden of its fear
1t sounds again, but it's a louder scream
Than ever sprang from feathered warber's fright:
The mighty sound of swiftly-rushing steam,
Which down the valley takes its rapid fight.
Each silent hill is pierced with gazing wound,
And yields its treasures to the light of day,
Where tireless engines come, with merry sound,
And bear the tofer's grmiy prize away.
Above the scene still brighter grow the skies,
Still warm the sunbeams on the hillsides play:
A golding tracing leaps before the eyes:
''Behold the dawning of a grander day!''
The vision fades, but yet by hill and stream
Industry strives for earths deep-hidden gains:
Gone is the picture of the inle dream
