VAN NAMnH, it. 3). 0, think not, my friond, That I'm always so sad, Bright moments of ploasure And joy I have had ; Moments of brightness, Of peace, and of love, As bright and as obooring As ought from above. But satlnoss will como And darken my brow, And storn sorrow rest On my hoart even now; But ero the dawn of the day Mly grief will depart. And joy reign supremo On my wild throbbing heart. This life is made up Of Aunshino and shado, F!nwors must blossom 1o wither and fado. Pleasure comes with a smile, For a time hovers near, Then sorrow and grief Follow on with a tear. But the clouds break away, And the sunbeams-so .right, Gild shadows of sorrow With soft, holy light ; We must never give way To grief or to tears, O !ifo will be but A lapso of dark years. We can make it so bright, So happy and true, If we pass over clouds, And look for sky soft and blue. Then never despond Nor give sorrow away, And joy will be ours Each swift-passing day. Nearly Too Late. I was left ain orphan at the age of four, but was brought up by a kind aunt and uncle. My childhood passed merrily enough untiI I was about eight, whenl my uncle, hearing of the Australian gold fields, determined to seek a fortune abroad, in stead of toiling for a mere pittance at home. So I was trqnsferred to a family by the naie of Graham. They were middle class, plain, homely people-working goldsmiths, In fact-and lived in Northampton square, Clerkenwell. They had but one child, a daughter, named Lily, who, being only three years younger than myself, we became great friends. It was natural also that as I grew up and went proudly out to earn my few shillings a week, and drew nearer to man hood, 1 should -learn to love my pretty little playfellow. Circumstances went on thus happily un til I was twenty and Lilly seventeen years of age, and then a - communication from my unlce In Australia informed me that they had a capital opening for me. I was loath to leave Lilly; yet, as I was doing very indifferantly and had heard of anch great fortunes acquired in such short spaces of time by energetic men, I suim moned enough courage one day to tell the Grahams and poor little Lilly I was deter mined to iro to Australia. I shall diover forget my parting at Black wall Pier. I shall never forget my pretty little Lilly clinging to my neck, and sobbing aloud, and imploring me not to go, and I, struggling between the influence of love and enterprise, trying not to be.a coward, when I felt already that I was one, It was in vain I tried to cheer her; I think I did not look so very comforting, though, if I remember rightly, I recollect saying: "Never mind, Lilly darling, I shall return one day and make you a grand lady. I shall be sure to succeed, and shall return to make you happy I" My tears, I know, were threatening to break the feeble barriers that held them back, and when she saidl: "Ah I but suppose you never do return I shall break my heart, Robert l' ' Why, then I think I di shed a tear or so only to keep her company. At last the boat pushed off, and Mrs. Graham-good, kind old soulli-still kept her arms around Lilly, as she waved her fihnal adieu to her orphan protege. I arrived at last at Melbourne. I went miles overland, and at last reached my uncle's settlement, but I had not long been there ore I found lIfe in Australia less eay than I had-anticipated. I stayed with him for a little time, until I took a dislike to farming-for that was what, my uncle had made most of his nioney at-and joinett a party of young fellows starting for a new gold field farther up the country. Trhree yearsa passed slowly away, and I began to get.along mtuich better, and had sent many a nugget. to Melbotune. I had only receivedkone dear cherished lbtter from Lilly, written on her eighteentyi iblrthday, and sending nie alloct( or. ty chest nnut hair ; yet I thbugh .I b eneto[ fear, as I know thae :writinkfters doek" net give young ladies hlf thoe:-jog of re ceiving them, and I wrote ef ten enough. Well, time went en. I had found a staunch, true friend lahout lng ogn ago, amid we were like.brothors. AWe always worked *togethuor, and whmon we had beenr out four years and a half, Tromi Trhuopson-forlbat was thle nameof mry~faithful friend-and 1 were getting rich. I knew (t itI Wi nearer henio .and more - likely -to datn my dlear little Lilly every, mnonth I worked; bum I also was 'aware of the desporate Orlinjls aud ,terrible.

When we heard himi move again, and as we correctly thought, he had gailned our hidden nuggets, we crawled ailently to the hole that gave entry to our little bedroon and looked down. All was dark, yet we could see the dim outline of a man moving hither and thither as though he know every inch of the ground lie trod. Now, we knew he would be cer tain to carry aris and so we bad to be ex coedingly cautions. Tom coolly placed an old fur hat on a stick lie had beside him, and hung it over the hole shouting as lie did so: "Who's there?" We received no answer, but thought we saw the figure move nearer to the cabin. "Answer," continued Tom, waving the old fur hat, "answer, or I'll fire." But Tom had no time to (1o anything of the kind, for the rascal fired directly, and I, looking through a chink in the rough and divided flooring, saw and recognized the thief as one to whom Tom and I had been the best of friends. It was Sinon Rail, a man whose reputation had been of late far from satisfactory. Tom and I were unhurt, and ero we could get down, for we found that the vil lain had removed the laddor, Sinion Rail had escaped to cover. All the sostlement was alarmed, and search made; but lie was not found until afterward. Well, three years' more of hard work lound ine a rich man, and Tom and I reached Melbourne, and sailed with hope, love and joy for England's happy shores When I reached homo no one would have known me with my beard and peculiar at tire-half settler, half nautical. I need not tell you how eagerly I sought out No. - Northampton square. It all seemed the same. Seven years and a half had very little altered London, so far as I could see. Yes, it all seemed the samo until I reached her house. 'lIlow dirty and neglected," thonght, I, as I gazed up at the dingy yet familiar old place. "I am certain Lilly cannot be here, or everything would look brighter and cleaner. Perhaps they havo moved; I'll knock and see." So I gave the door a series of loud raps, just to enhance its wakefulness. "Well, sir, what is it?" It was an old, dirty-looking womnan that spoke, as she half opened the door. "Do the Grahains live here still?" "Live here I bless yer no I They are rich folks now." "Rich?" said 1, and I believe I looked dreadfully angry; as thouii I thought they had no right to be rich. "Y es, rich I" replied the dirty old gossip, drawing nearer and opening the door wider when she found my business was so simple. "Yes, richI and all through some gentle man who started old Graham in business some nionths ago. The old 'ouso 'as bin to let ever since they left it-ten months ago. Live-why, lot me see-somewhere near Reading, I think, a little village called D-. But that's not the shop. The shop's In town somewhere. A.statiner's, I've heard say, and-" "Thank you, thank you, that will dol Hero is a trifle to drink success to my search." I managed to get away at last, and was soon being conveyed over the lines of the Southwestern Railway to Reading It was a lovely afternoon when I entered the little village of D--. I soon espied the little cottage to which I had been directed, half hidden from the road by a row of poplar trees, and It was with very little hesitation I was soon walking up the little garden path aud.ringing the bell. The Grahams wore out, but I explained that.I was a friend of the family, and had come a very long way expressly to see them. Tfhis gained me the desired "open sesame,". and I was soon ushered into the little parlor. Yea, this was Lilly's home. I gazed aaround mec as though I was in the sacred precinct of some holy spot. As my eyes wandered around -the sweetly scented little parlor, they rested at last on some milliner's boxes that lay upon the table. I had seen such boxes In my youth, and knew thorn to contain the appurtenances of mar riage garnments. Yes, I read her, my Lilly's, name on them. I lifted the lids slightly, and, alas I fhuy fears were too true; they were the bridal decorations of Lillian Graham. I could only just manage to recover my self as an 'open carriage drove up to the garden gate. I could not see them -alight, but I soon saw an old lady and gentleman, whom I recogniz~ed as Mr. and Mrs. Graham and then I saw the (lear face of Lilly-saw it to notice it was pale, thin antd sad-saw it to qiclkly tell that even prosperity, and pemthays thme prospect- of an advantageone marrlige, had not made her look'better hani the merry, laughing-eyed, little maiden of ?wept seveiteegi. e .

I did not believe it. But I waited two long, weary years, and then father said he was certain that It was true, and it would imake him happy if I would-If-" Ier tears explained the rest. I knew what she meant, and I drew ber fondly to my ieart, and said: "I knew you would not forget me, Lilly. I am rich, rich now, and very unlike dead, OIL? But I will not stay longer at present, darling. 1 will hasten to prove to you what a thorough rascal you were near marryhig. I shall send some one to look after your safety, and take that rascal away fr6i you." Thit rascal did not move. I had taken all the "Mr. Markham" out of him, so,,without much notice of the terror-stricken Mlr. .iid Mrs. Graham, but taking one long, fond kiss from the dear lips of Eilly, I departed hastily from the house. . - I had determined to give this episode a fit denoucient, and I think you will id.mit I did so, when I tell you I went to the au thorities of the parIsh and told them not to let the marriage take place next day (as that was the date fixed for it) upon any ac count. After doing this I went to London, and there met Tom, and told him that I had found the robber of our nuggets nearly rob bing me of my most golden treasure in life. Toi and I next morning, foumid out that Simon Rtail had come to England, after the robbery, found my friends, reported my deith (which my neglect in not writing served to corroborate), obtained a place of trust upon falso representations, and 'ulti mately made the acquaintance of the Grahamns, to complete his villainies by mar rying my betrothed. We found out also that his employers had that morning dis covered they were ?1,000 short, and had dispatclied two detectives to find the faith ful Mr. Markham. Well, after all, when I come to look back to it, and think how I went down next (lay; hiow they told me all about the deception of that rascal; how I paid back the ?200 to Rail's employers that lie had advanced to the Grahams; when I was once more re cognized as the true, genuine Bob Phillips; when the villain was sent back to the scene of his first exploits for several years at- her Majesty's expense; when Thompson came down with his long leved Alice, I said to him: "Ah, it is not our doing, Tom, it is God's ever-watchful care that tests us, loves us, and brings us always out of our trials just in time to be happy," and. when. Tomn. was married, he said: "Yes, Bob, and it was you who taught me to believe in woman's faith and constancy; and I cannot feel quite happy until I own a part of my happiness Is duo alone to you." A Boat-ride through Big-Horn Canyon. Two adventurous miners recently took a ride through th UBig Horn Canyon, Iu time Yellowstone reg.an, never before traversed by man. Had they been able graphically to describe their adventure they would have told a tale seldom equalled in thrilling incidents, Wishing to save 200nmestrayel around the mountains they concluded to try the canyon. With some tools they had in their mining camp they built a frail craft at the bottom of the canyon, having-previgusly taken down their material or red 'edar,. The boat was 12 feet long, 8 feet wki #n upon trial was found to carry its cargpr., freight and pasehicrs adiimdrabIy; So p. the morning of tlye 2Id of July, they untidd it and pushed into the current.

We now hear of a case the particulars of which might be sufliecnt for a writer of the "sen sational school" to weave a chapter of bloodl-curdling romance. Eleven years ago Shapurjec Cahanjeebbo was a well-to-do resident of Dehegaum, a village situated lit a shoit distance froiji Gandevi. A faithfg), obedient wife managed his hdmisehold af fairs. and. the "eycn tenor of, theiir ways" was enllvened by thepresence 9f two prom ising son1'.

Lead OWes its isefulness in tihe metallic state uhielly to its softness and fusibility. In an Dlent times tin was scarce, and the chief Supply Wis from India, Spaini, anlid the uelebrated mines of Cornwall, England, which have been worke.d uniiterruptedly front the earliest historic periods. 'Tin was ised by th Egyptians nearly 4,000 years igo. Mercury wis well known to the anl cients and was then supplied from Spain, wyijre it was obtained from cinnabar by a p)rocess which appear' to have been the 1lrst Cr'du eximIple of distillation. The jower of mercury to dissolve gould wits known to Pliny in the frst century, A. ). With us mercury is much used in various phemical preparations as a powerful med icinand as i developing agent il ti le thigueioceotype. It is also used to extract gold fromi its earthy or rocky'matrix. The chIeniist, uses is instead of water for collct nig gases, which would be obsorbed by the atter fluid. For many ages no addition wis madti to tihe seven metals which have been descilbed in modern articles. It Was not even suspected that the number could be increased, but towards tihe end of Ahe thirteenth century antimony was added 'o the metallic fanmily. It wis discovered by Basil Valentine. It is found in Ger many and also in I1(dial. It is of a sil ver white color, with a good deal of lustre, and ieither tarnishes nor rtists. It. is valuable in the arts from its hardness in nmaking iloys. A second metal, bimuitith, has been knowi since 1b29. It is readily dis Linguished by its pecnliar reddish lustre and its highly crystalline structure. Its [irincipal source is Saxony. It is largely 11ployed in tle arts, but rarely by itself. Pearl powder, used to whiten ladies' faces, iontains bismuth. Zinc Is perhaps tle nost ihipoitant of the newly discovered metals, kund may have preceded the others; it wSv certdinily described long before. An Abscure passagIe In Strabo seems to show lf'dt'n certliln stene was found to drop false silver when melted, but there Is little to show thut this false silver was zinc. It is positivo, however, that its alloys were knQIu to the later Romans, for numerous coinis have been found containing copper and'zinc nearly in the proper proportions to form brass. The origin of tihe term zinc is lost in obscurity.. It was first employed by Basil Valentine, but Paracclsus, who was fond of penetrating to tile source of things, Was the-first to-associate the word with a netal possessing the character of zinc. Platinum, discovered by Ulloa, a Spanish ,raveler in America, in 1735 is one of the pmre ipetals found only in its native state, n emiail glistening globules of a gray steel :olor, though occasionally in Ilmasses the size of a pigeon's egg. it is the heavicst form of matter yet known. It does not oxidize In air at any temperature, no single cild has any effect oil it, and it is very In fusible. It has been coined into money in Russia. C(olialt is the name or certntin lIcions who were supposed to hmaunt mines, ,i([ to minufacture those ores which looked well to the eye but were really of little value. Anlong tlese were supposed to be the ores of'this metal, and hence Its name. It was illscovered about the middle of the Aighteenth century. It Is reddllsh-gray m color, and, Is of no use in manufactures and the arts, except that beautiful blue and green pigments are produced from itsoxides. Nickel was discovered by Cronstedt in 1751. Pure hickel Is a brilliant silver-white, due tile, malleable metal. It Is used a at whiten ingagelit in the manufacture of German silvor, and has been convented into coin at tho United States mint and has got largely into use in plating various metals. Our nilckel cents contain 88 p~arts copper and1(12 nickel. Manganese, made known in I174, Is bne 'of the heavy metals of which Iron may be taken as a representative. It can be highly p~olished; and1( Is so very hard that It can scratch steel and glass. Arsenic was produced as a metal abloult 1733.' It was a very soft, brittle and eminently poisonlOus inctal of a steel-gray color. It 18 scatteredl In great abundamnce over thle mineral king Join and 16 sometimes found in thme free state,' but more frequently combIned, chiefL ly with Ironi, nickel, etc. It is used in thme Irts and also as a 'medicine. In addition to the above there are at least thirty live inetals, mest of them discovered slince 1774. I'ho best knwnm of these are jungsten, 1781, palladium'.and rl odium, by Dr. Wallaston, who ilrst fused platinum ; po0tassium, sod uit,'chcuin) baritum, and strontitum, in t828, mnagnesiuam, In 1820.
