AT PEERLESS SANTA CRUZ.

And fling far on the beach their sparkling dews;
A soft gray mist lies over all the lands
OF glorious Santa Cruz.
The seagulls white futtering far and near;
The laden yachts with floating banners gay,
Sail through soft mists and snow-capped waves
To far-of Monterey.
The morning sunshine floods the towering hills,
The birds sing wondrous songs to greet the dawn,
The flowers look upward from refreshing dews.

Two wander on the sun-kissed, sIoping beach,
Along the stretch of shining, silver sands,
Their happy hearts too full for simple speech
And fondiy clasping hands.

And eyes like violets bathed in April showers;
man whose proud glance rests on her he loves
AS night dews rest on flowers
No need OF words to tell the story old.
She reads the secret in his loving gaze,
And turns her eyes from his to where the sea
Melts in purple haze.
Then finding voice he tells how he loves,
But still must leave her by the summer sea;
The little hand in his grows strangely cold
And trembleS piteously.
But one short month has fed since first they met
And to her heart loves first sweet rapture came:
She knew his footstep, dreamed OF him by night.
And trembled at his name.
And he loves her, as once he thought he loved

Beyond the wavelets and the breakers high,
And the far ocean dim.

The cup OF joy which lies so hear his lips.
He fan would linger by the sands and sea
Ana cleaning white-sailed ships.
He rains his kisses on her sunny hair,
And lips and cheeks while sorrow fills his breast
Aswekiss dear ones, leaving them TO God
And deaths untroubed rest
He fondly whispers that he will return:

But he will come to find her waiting still

The waves that bore his ship across the sea.
Beneath the swiftly falling dews of night.
Wash up shore slender, silent form
In early morning light
Two little hands lie clasped upon her breast.
White lids veil from sight the deep, dark eyes:
The pure soul waits (where waiting seems not long)
Beyond the smiling skies.
In after years her lover may return.
And seek her where the breakers loudest surge;
He'll find a little grave where blue waves sob
And chant funeral dirge.

OF childhood in its careless glee,
And a schooEhouse in the vale.
Little and old it stood meath the shadet
OF oak tree grand and tall,
Where many joyous hour we played.

Beside the school-rOom wall.
Away TO the far-off fields there spread
Pastures yellowed by summers heat,
Dotted with trees, whose verdure shed
To the herds that over the broad fields fed

Down the narrow path. 'cross the dusty road,

There the wild grapevines bore their purple load
And fish 'gainst the stream their bright nus showeu'
And Pickering shadows lay.
What treasures and wonders in natures store
Did our eager eyes discern.
All, wise were we in her mystic lore!

The fresh delight with which we'd learn
How each feathered songster her nest weuld swing,
And where the wild blackberries grew;
The strange insects that so on would spring
In gorgeous dyes their fight to wing,
Were wonders our childhood knew.
And breathe sigh for my first school days.
When life from care free,
Ere my feet mad trod the rugged ways
In lifes MONDAY toll and blaze,
That now they must tread willingly
Long since cherished playmate there
Fell asleep TO the world below.
The Others are scattered know not where.
And few would recall my name should they hear
That time seems so long ago.
Still my thoughts 60 pack 10 the schoo,-house old
That stood where the oak trees grew;
Though friends forget and hearts grow cold,
Memory her treasures will sim unfold

CONCERNING FOAM.

1t Cannot Exist on Pure Liqulds-Why
OIL Outlets Water.
Lord Rayleigh, in a recent lecture at the
Royal Institution, took for his text the word
Foam" and he proved by many interesting
experiments that foamng, or frothing, is
not possible with liquid of pure constitu-
ton. Thus, pure water or pure alcohol will
neither of them foam; but mixture of
water with per cent of alcohol will foam
strongly. Beer is, of course. a mixture of this
character. Water impregnated with cam
phor, or with small quantity of any coloid
substance, will froth freely, and we all
know that little soap added to water will
cause the same effect. Abiding to sea foam
the lecturer said that this was not due to
the salt contained in the water, but rather
to the seaweeds which suffer destruction
in stormy weather. He also alluded
to the effect of oil upon troubled
waters, and pointed out that, although
in the first instance only the smaller
ripples were affected by the oily coating,
the larger waves were afterward brought
under control, for it seemed as if the power
of tie wind 10 create those large waves was
due in great measure to the small nipples
which formed at their back and gave the
wind hold on the water which it would
not otherwise have. 1t was in reality the
curling tops of the waves and the broken
water which were mischevous, and these
were Quoted by the action of the oil.-Ex

SUNNY MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD,

How oft does fond memory bring
Sweet recoilections of the past;
When life was in its early spring
And each day happy as the last;
When free and unconfned as air
KNEW no sorrow, pain or care.
Blest by Providence most kind,
Mid scenes OF yore still rcmains
And memories oft rise in my mind
As glance over hill and plain;
Thoughts that often make me sigh
As dream OF days gone by.
The creek still runs beside the door,
Ger whose stones I've gayly tripped,
And oftentlmes In jumping Ger
In its clear waters have 1 slipped;
Ripping waters fresh and sweet,
Flowing by many a calm retreat.
Here Is the dear old rocky spring
On whose banks oft did play
Listening to the robins sing,
And, spending many happy day
Sailing ships on its bosom clear.
Ships and cargoes all SO dear.
Then down the road and round the hill
I'd stray In silent. thoughtful mood;
1 liked the evenings calm and still
Was charmed cen then by solitude.
Iloved to watch the breezes sway
The branches OF the old oaks gray.
And often as sweet spring returned
How l would watch the buds unfold;
Then my childish bosom burned,
Then would feel joys untold,
when breathing springs soft balmy air,
I'd gather blossoms sweet and fair.
And then when weary OF my play
Some interesting book I'd find
That charmed all WEAKNESS away
And engrossed both heart and mind:
liked to be with my books alone,
My love for them I've not outgrown.
Iloved yon lofty hill to climb
To view the lowiand scene:
Thought 1t then almost sublime,
But now tits only calm serene.
The rocks change not DER which I've ranged,
Alas tits only that's changed.
Though these memories still are dear
And cherished in my Utmost soul,
can.ot help passing tear
As my young years onward roll;
As think those days of yore
Arc COMO forever. evermore.
But the future lies before me,
And pray that coming days
From care and sorrow may be free;
That One above direct my ways,
So III have nothing al the last
But sunny memories of the past.

THE DYING YEAR.

Drip, drip. the ralndrops fall
From the overhanging leaves;
And futtering down from the boughs o'erhead,
Comes a shower OF fading leaves;
While summer song-birds southwark flying,
Tell us the year Is dying, dying.
Soft, soft, the rose leaves fall,
Chilled by the bleak winds breath,
Exhaling still a sweet perfume,
Fen from the arms OF death:
Each whitening petal softly signing
Farewell, farewell the year Is dying.
Drop, drop, the ripe nuts fail,
In the grove, where no sounds are heard,
Save only the rustliHg OF dry brown leaves,
Or the cry cf some lone bird,
who, after his mates. in wild haste flying,
Calls back farewell the year is dying.
