WEALTH UNTOLD.

Seek your treasure. and you'll find
IL exists but in the mind.
Wealth is but the power that hires
blessings that the heart desires;
And IL these are mine to hold
Independently of gold,
And the gifts IL can bestow,
I'm richer than l know.
Rich am IL, when pass
Mid the daisies on the grass,
Every daisy in my sight
seems jewel OF delight!
Rich am /. IL can see
Treasure in the flower and tree,
And can hear mid forest leaves
Music in the summer ewes;
If the lark that sings aloud,
On the fringes of the cloud,
Scatters melodies around
Fresh as raindrops on the ground;
And bless the happy bird
For the joy it has conferred;
III the tides upon the shore
Chant me anthems evermore;
And l feel in every mood
That life isaair and God is good.
! am rich If possess
Such fund of happiness.
And can find wbere'er stray
Humble blessings on the way,
And deserve them ere they're given
BY my gratitude to heaven.

have abandoned the great principle of
Legitimacy, promising, if they attain
power, TO take pl6biscite. He looks,
therefore, for the success of the
"chQrlatan" party, which combines
the votes Of all the discontented,-
that is, of the followers of General
Boulanger. Predictions about the
course of French affairs are never
worth much; but it should be noted
that the coming visit OF the Emperor
OF Germany TO Rome is not regarded
in Paris as it is in London. 1t exas-
pprates political Frenchmen to the
last degree, bringing home to them
u sense of the isolation OF France
as nothing else could. They think
themselves, not without historic war
rant, the natural leaders of the Latin
peoples; and while they are alarmed
by the hostility of Germany, grow
savage at that of Italy, which they
regard as at once an insult and an
ingraritude. This sense of humiIia-
ton strengthens any party which
promises a substitute for a Republic
that in seventeen years of effort a"o
expenditure "has recovered nothing.
Observe, however, that the views of
political Flenchmen and Of French
peasants are not necessarily ldent-
cal.

An extraordinary story of the sea

An extraordinary story of the sea
comes from America. ON Septem-
Der 18th, an old gentleman residing
at Brooklyn received a letter from
Dice, one of the islands of the South
Sea, hitherto supposed to be uninha-
bited, written by a certain Captain
Green, thought to have been ship
wrecked in 1858 in a ship called the
Confederation The letter, which
was sent by whaling barque, stated
that the Confederation had founder
ed at sea, but that Captain Green
and the crew of sixteen, including
two women, had taken to the boats,
and landed on the island of Dice.
There being abundance of game, fish,
fruit, and water on the island, the
caStaways did we'll. In July, 1859,
a ship was seen, and nine Of the men
tried 10 reach her in a boat, but the
weather being stormy, the boat was
lost. The women became the wives
Of two of the men, and when the let
ter was written the population was
twelve, though they had several
deaths. They were all happy and
conlentod. During the thirty years
they only communicated with three
vessels. The story is a strange one,
and suggests many questions, such as
why did they not get taken off by one
of the earlier ships communicated
with, Vr at least send word by them.
Perhaps, however, they were too cor
tented 10 desire a change. But
whether the story is true or nor,
there is no doubt that the Pacific
still contains plenty OF strange things.
For instance. there is atIl a vast
region Of the ocean to the north west
Of the trade routes from san Francis
co to S. dney and Auckland which has
been Lltimpertectly EXPLORED. Suppose
il should contain an island as BIG as
the Isle OF Wight, proncd by il Iace
sprung from white castawaYS Of the
last generation, who nave been >teadi-
ly forgetting their old civiIisation and
developing a new one. What an
opportunity for Mr.. Herbert Spencer

cult to defend it with Sikh regiment;
but the situation is most di~sagreeable,
The Government is obliged to keep
Egypt solvent, lest international rights
of control should revive, and with the
present imperfect organisation, which
combines the expensiveness of the
West with the ineficiency of the East,
it cannot do it.
