The Old Waltz.

The Old Waltz.
Walking slowly down the street, grown
Old and gray ard sAu,
And somehow beyond the reach of thing $
with power to make me glad,
came across some children dancing gaily
TO an air
Played by an old hand-organ, and lo!
the street g.c. fair,
Fair with lights and flowers and Il stretch
of polished floor,
4Auown which you and were lightly,
swiftly floating rs Of Nore
While from the organ sounded the waltz
we danced together
In that old time when hearts and feet
were light MS any feather.
Just the sane, the perfume Of the red
rose at your breast;
Just the same, the warm touch of your
shoulder gainst mo pressed;
And just the same--Ah, yes!- there tlroo-
bed In me once again.
The old-tinle foolish longing, the old
time foolish pain.
And all the weary. drcary years, cacn
with its biting frost,
Quick faded into nothing, all their sad
ness lost;
While in their stead young man stoad,
still dreaming OF The giri.
He held in his arms so long ago, In the
sweet old waltz's whiil.
Old Waltz! Dear Waltz played along
our city ways,
Still can you take us gray-hcads BACK
to tho joys Of other days.
So deep drink to your melody, That
holds in tuncful rime
The old loves and old dreams of lost
Youths happy time!

EInafing Steel.

VIII solid steel float in water? Steel
will float If 1t be so light in weight as
not to rupture the surface tension of
the liquid. Thus with a little care a
fine sewing needle can be made to float
on the surface of still water, especially
if 1t is drawn through the hair a time
or two, as the minute trace of oil so
Impaired enables it to resist the wet
ting action of the water
1t must be understood that liquids,
although they have infinitely less CO.
hesive attraction than solids, are not
absolutely devoid of this. If there
were no cohesion at all between the
particles neither drops nor bubbles
would be possible.
Consequently every liquid may be
looked upon as covered by more or
less cohesive skin of its own substance
So long as the weight of the steel or
other solid body Is insufficient to break
through this skin it will float on the
surface, although heavier bulk for
bulk than the liquid itself.-London

The earliest mention of the use OF

where accounts are given of an action
fought March IL, 1870, in st. Georges
channel, near the Tuskar rock, between
the British privateer Sharp and the
American privateer Skyrocket. The
former was armed with carronades,
short guns of a new construction.
made at Carron.v One>of these ac-
counts is from Captain Macarthur, an
Englishman, who was at the time a
prisoner on board the Skyrocket and
was in a position to speak Of the dam
age sustained by that ship.
On April 10. in the same year, q
spirited action was fought in the chan
mel between the Spitfre, a British pri-
vateer armed with sixteen eighteen
FOUNDER carronades, commanded by
Captain Thomas Bell and owned by
John FULLER and others, and the Sur
veillante, a French frigate of thirty
two guns and a large crew. The Spit
fire was taken after an obstinate fight,
