There is a lone in every gaie, Which speaks of blossoms gone ; Which seems to pour a lonely wail O'er hope and beauty flown : The ttees, the fields, which wore but now The glory of the year, Have lost the light and blosoming glow They kept, when Spring was hero. Yes, the pure radiance of the, sun On them no more descends ; The freshness of their birth is gone, Like smiles of early friends ; The blight is on the forest tops, And on the waving corn, Their richness passed, as fade the clouds Of some gay summer morn. Thus, looking at the-goltien Hours That passed so sadly sdoif, '' . Like dew from the huxurrant' flowers, " That melts before the noon," u I feel how fleeting are the joys Thai human lile can give; How every hope the heart employs On earth, is fugitive. All save that faith-enkindled hope, " From virtue's fount that springs, To lilt the undying spirit up, As on the eagle's wings : A hope sublime immortal pure Jn Jove to mortals given Traced in the Word of Promise sure, Andjixed on God and Heaven.

The machinery for placing the gun in the furnace, ol pulling it on ihe anvil, of turn ing, cutting and hammering, are so complete, that it is moved-with a precision and facility truly astonishing. Cast iron guns of this size, and larger, aro frequently made but no attempt we believe, has ever before been made to make a gun of this size from wrought iron.
