'T'here are dre:inis tait are itinged witi the Sunlight of stmiitmttr, And hopes that are glad as the ntightins galo's lay, But (io st Nm.clouin arise, antl the dreams, inl their brightness. Their hopes, in their gladness,-all vantish away. 6. There are forms that we cherish vith idol devotion And iearts linkel with oirs by loves sttngest balutis The night comsedi quickly ; wo hiss their palo faces And fold, in our agony, cold, icy hands. 0. There are angols in lcaven, with itarps, making music, And crowns, and a throne, anid a beautifut day ; There is love, and a Saviour, and gladness cternal ; And these--these are all tIhat will io'er pass away. The Lobby of the House of Commons. GEIRS-CU ItIOUs SoFIN:S. The Pall Mall G'aette thus deptets the scenes that are to be wit.nessed in the lobby of the Itonse of Comimons: Few persons, we Should think, gifted wit any power of oservatilion, if they have ever penetrated to that myster:ous vestibulo called the lobby of the ironis *of Commons, ctan have failed of being interested in the htuman phenomena whlichs it presenuts to them. *WhIat a focus of hopes and fears anid scemues of every kind exist within that narrow cir' cle t-tonehting enough. some of thema, * pcrhaipx, if one knew their history, but sugg~estive onl the spot, rater of comic than of serious associations The im to see the lobby in perfection is on an ordinary day frotm four to five, and Sagain about seven, in the afernoon; first wvhen mtembers arc going in, and aftrwards when they are adjournting to I dinner. But all thsronh the' thtee pro~ praindial hotur's it is toler'ably alive and a fnir amnount of but ton-holing is to be w ~ iinessed in it. T1here are, of course, several well known figtures who are to bo0 seen there at stated hours every day, such as t ho whips, tha parliament ary agteA the prtivato secretariest and so fr h And there are, too, certimn mem *i e of the Htonso who seem to btrive fnieht more lobby wvork to do than oth ers ; first and foiremost a'hnong wvhom, 4 are, naturally, the metronolitan mem bers; but on tho whtolo thero is a great variet..y of faces, and apparently a great diversty of motives, among the crowd whichs congre.gate4 datily itt tho door of the Commons of E~ngland. A rarn/.AMT~'AnlY AGEM'. ~That tall, good looking man, betiveenV thirty and forty years of age, with a keen ex'pressioni of face and- a bsmdle of papera in his hand, is a wveit known pair hiament ary agent and solicitor.

He is evidently an important pers8onage. No member is ever engaged or prdssed for time whon this gentleman want's to speak to him, and ho flits from kcrds to commoners, and from commoners to mere clerka, with the easy air of a pnnii whlo is in the secret, and could- tell you eomcthing if lie chose.
