"CADENABBIA."

——o No sound of -wheels or hoof-beat breaks The silence of the Summer day, As by the loveliest of all lakes I while the idle hours away. I pace the leafy colonnade Where level branches of the plane Above me weave a roof of shade ' - Impervious to the sun and rain. At times a sudden rush of air Flutters the lazy leaves o'erhead, And gleams of sunshine toss and flare Like torches down the path I tread. By Somariva's garden gate I make the marble stairs my seat, And hear the water, a3l wai?, Lapping ihs steps beneath my feet. lhe undulation &inks and swells, A long the stony parapet, And far away the floating bells Tingle upon the fishers' net*. Silent and slow, by tower and town, Tte freighted barges ceme and go. Their pendant shadows gliding down By town and tower submerged below. The hills sweep upward from £he shore, With villas scattered one by one TTpon their wooded spurs, atd lower Bellaggio blazing in the sun. And dimly seen, a tangled mass Of walls and woods, oi light and shade, Stands beckoning up theStelvio Pass Varenna with its white cascade. I ask myself, is this a dream ? Will it all vanish into air.? Is there, a land of such supreme And perfect beauty anywhere ? Sweet vision ! do not fade away ; Linger until my heart shall take Into itself the Summer day, And all the beauty pf the lake. Linger until upon my brain Is stamped an image of the Bcene ; Then fade into the air again, And be as if thou had»t not been. —Longfellow in December Atlantic.

RELICS FROM THE ARCTIC EXPEDI TION.

A dispatch from Dundee to the London Telegraph, dated November 1, rana thus :— " Captain Kilgour, of the whaler Polynia, which arrived hereto-night, brings a number of a relics of the Arctic exploration. When a portion of the crew were on shore at Batiy Bay, on the 29 th of July, in search of a suit able watering place, they discovered a cairn on a low point on the north side of the bay. Judging it had been erected by some party belonging to one of the various expeditions sent in search of Sir John Franklin, they pulled it down, and in f,the interior of it found a tin cannister about twelve, inches in length and four in diameter, the lid being soldered on. Captain Kilgour opened the cannister, and it was found to contain reports deposited on the 6th of August, 1852, by Captain William Kennedy, of the Prince Albert, Lady Franklin's vessel. In the course of the day a sledge, a stove, two ice knives, and various other articles were picked up on the south side of the bay, where it appeared Captain Kennedy's party had encamped. The records disclosed the fact that Captain Kennedy went into winter quarters in Batty Bay in the autumn of 1851, and it was not until the 6th of August, 1852, that the ice broke up and liberated his vessel. It is obvious that Batty Bay had not been visited since 1852. The records are in an excellent state of preservation.

THE BOY ASTRONOMER.

The first transit of Venus ever seen by a human eye was predicted by a boy, and was observed by that boy just as he reached the age of manhood. His name was Jeremiah Horrox. We have a somewhat wonderful story to tell you about this boy. He lived in an obscure village near Liverpool, England. He was a lover of books of science, and before he reached the age of eighteen he had mas-' tered the astronomical knowledge of the day. He studied the problems of Kepler, and he made the discovery that the tables of Kepler indicated the near approach of the period of the transit of Venus "across the sun's centre. This was about the year 1635. Often on Midsummer nights the boy Hor rox might have been seen in the fields watching the planet Venus. The desire sprung up within him to see the transit of the beautiful planet across the disc of the sun, for it was a sight that no eye had ever seen, and one that would tend to solve some of the greatest problems ever presented to the mind of an astronomer. So the boy began to examine the astronomical tables of Kepler, and by their aid endeavoured to demonstrate at what time the next transit would occur. He found an error in the tables, and then he, being the first of all astronomers to make the precise-calculation, discoveied the exact date when the next transit would take place. He told his secret to one intimate friend, a boy who, like himself, loved science. JThe young astronomer then awaited the event which he had predicted for a number of years, never seeing the loved planet in the shaded evening sky without dreaming of the day when the transit should fulfil the beautiful vision he carried continually in his mind. The memorable year came at last—l 639. The predicted day of the transit came, too, at the end of the year. It was Sunday. It found Horrox, the boy astronomer, now just past twenty years of age, intently watching a sheet of paper in a private room on which lay the sun's reflected image. Over this reflection of the sun's disc on the paper he expected, moment by moment, to see the planet pass like a moving spot or a shadow. Suddenly the church bells rang. He was a very religious youth, and was accustomed to heed the church bells as a call from Heaven. The paper still was spotless; no shadow bAke the outer edge of the Bun's luminous circle. '■'.. Still' the church bella range. Should he go? A cloud might hide the sun before his

return, and the expected disclosure be lost for a century. But Horrox said to himself, " I must not neglect the worship of the Creator to see the wonderful things the Creator has made." So he left the reflected image of the sun on the paper, and went to the sanctuary. When he returned from the service he hurried to the room.fl The sun was still shining, and there, like a shadow on the bright circhon, the paper, was the image of the planet Venus ! It crept slowly along the bright centre, like the finger of the Invisible. Then the boy astronomer knew that the great problems of astronomy were correct, and the thought filled his pure heart with religious joy. Horrox died at the age of 22. Nearly 130 years afterwards Venus was again seen crossing the sun. The whole astronomical world was then interested in the event, and expeditions of observation were fitted out by the principle European Governments. It was observed in this country by Divid Britlen house, who fainted when he saw the vision. — HeseiciaJi Buiterworth to St. John Nicholas for December.

BITS OF FUN.

That was a bright little child who in quired, " Mamma, when cows die do they go to the milky way ?" A little Connecticub boy, asking a mate who Good Friday was, received the withering reply : " Well, you do home and read your Bobinson Crusoe." Why was Ruth very rude to Boaz ?— Because she pulled his ears and tread on his corn. A Kansas couple paid their marriage fee in butter. They belonged to the creme de la creme. Springfield youth, "age" rapidly, vide the Union : " Dick !'.' said a teacher in one of our public schools, to an old gentleman about thirteen years of age, "how old are you ?" " Well," said he, looking up with a weary, indifferent air, "to toll you the truth, that's something that I can't; keep track of." "Mamma, where do tha cows get the milk ?" asked Willie, looking up from the foaming pan of milk which he had b.een in tently regarding. " Where do you get your tears ?" was the answer. After a thoughtful silence he again broke out: " Mamma, do the cows have to be spanked ?" A lady, occupying room letter B at an hotel, wrote on the slate as follows: — " Wake letter B at seven ; and if letter B says, ' Let her be,' don't let her be, nor letter B be, because if you let letter B be, letter B will be unable to let her house to Mr|B., who is to call at half-past ten." The porter, who was a better bootblack than orthographist, after studying the above all night, did not know whether to wake letter B or to "let her be." . There is probably nothing else on earth that will roll like a hat. A gust of wind gets under yourjtile, and before you realise the the extent of your catastrophe you see ifc strke a bee-line for the nearest puddle of water, into which it settles with an indiffer ence that is highly exasperating. No man yet ever caught his hat until it got ready to stop, which is when it brings up under a waggon-wheel, or when he drives it into the mud with his foot. A student at one of the military academies had copied a drawing of a scene in Venioe, and in writing the title had spelt the name of the city Vennice. The drawing-master put his pen through the superflous letter, observing, "don't you know, sir, there is but one 'hen' in Venice?" at which the youth burst out laughing. Being asked what he was laughing abont he replied he was thioking, "how uncommonly scarce eggs must be in Venice." TheVnaster in wrath reported him to the colonel in command, a Scotchman, who, on hearing the disrespect ful reply, without in the least perceiving the joke, observed an' a verra naataral observaa tion too." • • What is the best way to kill ants ?—Hit your uncle's wife on the head with a ham mer.

Enny man who dont luv punkin pi wants watching closs, for he means to do somethin mean the fust good chance he kan git.

" No, I don't." "Well," replied his saccharine sister, "it's because you're one too many." \ A man who stammered was accosted by a traveller with : "Say, friend, how far is it to Smithville ?" The tongue-tied man . began : " S-s-s-six m-m-mi— :" and then I losing all control of himself in his anger he I roared : " Go along straight down the road, j damn you.
