The following description of Sunrise
on the moon, although in part imaginary,,
and given as a dream or nightmare, may be
accepted us speculation based on scientific
knowledge. We begin with his description of
what may be called " Earth -Rise" on the
Moon: By and by, agoldeu light appeared
n the east, behind the distant line of cliff's,
and a vast orb, resembling the Moon, but
many times larger, rose with serene majesty
into the heavens, Unlike the Moen, how-
ever, it seemed to shed no radiance around
it, for the sky remained as black as ever.
The light from its poles was of adazzling
lustre—owing perhaps to the polar icefielde
—but that from the middle zones was dim-
mer and more shadowy, and varied in tin t
from a pale green to a ruddy brown and a
clouded blue.
The blue patches were probably seas
the brown and green ones continents, with
their deserts and vegetation; and I fancied
I could trace a configuration like that por-
tion of the Earth comprised between
America, Africa, and Europe, even to such
details as the British Isles.
The light around me had grown so
much brighter that I turned to see where.
it came from, and behold ! a still more

marvelous sight. Away to the westward

A WILD CHAOS OF DARKNESS,
commingled with bluish light,whieh I can
only compare to the waves of a stormy sea
when tipped with lilac phosphorescence,
and above the distant horizon in the funere-
al sky, a strange and glorious meteor was
blazing like a comet. Its disk was equal
in size to that of the Sun, and of blinding
intensity, but its color was a kind of lav-
ender -blue inclining to purple, and a
silvery -white radiance, like that of the
Milky Way, extended from it far into the
night. What was that brilliant luminary
which reminded me so forcibly of an elec-
tric arc -lamp when its carbons are burning
blue ?
I turned once more to the prospect which
had that engaged my attention ; but I
need not linger on the succeeding phases of
the dawn. It is enough to say that as the
splendid star mounted up the sky, the
illumination became stronger, until a gray -
blue daylight showed all thefeatures of the
landscape. I then saw that what I have
called a sea of darkness was, in reality, a
vast gray plain, and that its purple islands
were the peaks and craters of volcanoes.
The high cliffs beyond were not the shores
of a continent, but part of ' a stupendous
wall of rock which encircled the plain like
a rampart. I discovered that my own sta-
tion was near the verge of this stupendous
precipice, and my brain sickened when I
found that its crags dropped sheerly down
to the plain, many thousands of feet
below.
TilE SUMMIT WAS JAGGED
with lofty pinnacles of rock, standing as
towers along the wall, and enormous gates
like the embrasures of a battlements. It
cast a long, sharp -pointed shadow, as black
as jet, athwart the plain below, on which
the craters of the extinct volcanoes, were
unpenetrated by the light, resembled walls
of ink ; but as the meteor- ascended higher
and higher, the shadows by degrees drew
back, or became lighter. Not a vestige of
humanhabitation,or animallife,orvegenation
couldbe seen any v. here. Apparently there was

Poets' Corner.
NAPOLEON'S TIONER,
SHE WAS. A THOROUGHLY WOMAN-
LY WOMAN TO THE END.
She Positively Refused To Hold Ceurt
and Would Not Address Her Son by
SIN Imperial Title—She Was Proud
of Her 'Son..
Napoleon said of his mother that she was.
made to govern a kingdom. It is quite
likely that she would have been a very good
and judicious queen, on condition that her
kingdom was very small, for she had neither
the taste nor the genius for great politics.
Her true vocation was to govern a home,
to manage a household, to keep order and
peace in a family, to conciliate opposing
interests, to stop quarrels, to soften wounds
to self-love,, to make everybody listen to
reason. If Napoleon did not get from her
his imagination, to her he owes hie spirit of
order, of discipline, and of government,
which enabled him to put to rights a country
disorganized by civil discord and anarchy,
a"nd to give it
• INSTITUTIONS WHICH STILL EXIST.
In a moment of impatience and ill -humor,
the Emperor said : "Madame Letizia is only
a bourgeoise," and he understood her well.
He would have liked her to change her
manners, her language, and her sentiments
in accordance with the change in her
position. She, however, remained what
she had always been; her fortunes had
changed but she changed not a whit. She
preserved always her natural manner of
speaking, she never modified her accent in
the least. "A propos of Mamma," said
the First Consul to his brothers, "Joseph
ought to coax her not to call me Napolione
any more. Let her call me Bonaparte, not
Buonaparte,that would be worse than Napo-
lione, Let her say the First Consul or the
Consul. I should prefer the latter. But
Napolione, always Napolione
THAT VEXES ME."
All the same, Omar was for her always
Napolione. She admired him, but he did
not impose on her. He had become the
master of Europe, but in her eyeshe was
always such as tie came into the world,
with a big head, crying, restless, and suck-
ing his thumb, while waiting for the time to
come when he should suck the universe.
Bourgeoise she was born, and bourgeoise
she use all her life. Neither glory nor
great prosperity was able to turn her head,
to dazzle her good sense. She detested
flatterers, and pomp, and ostentation. She

REFUSED TO HOLD A. COURT.
During the six weeks which followed the
birth of the King of Rome, Madame Mere
and the queens of Spain and Holland were
the only persons admitted to the room of
Marie Louise, and for these visitors arm-
chairs were provided around the bed of the
Empress. When the day arrived for a
grand reception by her, the Emperor order
ed the arm -chairs to be replaced by tabour.
eta. When they came to sit down, Mad.
ame Mere was about to withdraw. When
the Empress wished to detain her she said:
" Madame, if the Emperor had wished me
to be present, he would have provided an
armchair for me." On another day in the
same year, at a family gathering,
Napoleon offered her his hand to kiss'.
She pushed it back, and it was he who
kissed the hand of his mother, She said to
him: " You know, Sir, in public I treat
you with respect, because I am your sub-
ject; but, in private, I am your mother,
and when you say: '1 will,'—I answer: I
will not."
Sue WAS VERT PARSIMONIOUS,
almost avaricious. From her youth up,
she had known the value of money.
When a woman who is not rich, has eight
children to bring up, she learns not to
loosen the strings of her purse too easily.
Her piety was marked. She accepted
without a murmur, whatever came to her
from the Supreme Will which rules every-
thing. Once she asked a Roman -prelate if
he thought Napoleon was in •paradise.
Madame," he answered," I think
-t absolutely sure of it."

The eldest has not finished yet
The third of life's young years;
Hid eyes are blue as violets,
And, bright as evening's tears;
Ills hair is golden as the beams
That usher in the dawn
And softer than the tassels are'
That plume the growing corn ;

Than lutes or woodland streams
It rings arnidmy cares by nay,
And,00boes in my dreams.
He has a hundred pretty ways,
Which I delight to seal
I love, him next to Heaven and her
Who gave the child to me.
And when he nestles to my heart,
And calls me by my name—
The only name he knows fel' me
I sigh no more for fame,
But think that having such a gem
To wear upon my breast,
Contented should .1 be to leave
The chaplets for the rest.
My other darling's little life
In months is counted yet ;
His eye is lustrous as a star.
And black as burnishedjet'
His hair is, brown like forest leaves,
When autumn's frosts begin.
Four teeth have blossomed in his mouth
A dimple dents his chin ;
His smile is liko the smile that plays
Upon a cherub's face--
Ho

My home his dwelling place.
No fear that we shall entertain

That heavenly look upon his face,
That glory on his hair,
Reminds us whence the darling came,
And bids us not forget,
That He who lent the child to us

The First Snow.
Last night the trees denuded stood forlorn,
Although the sumach held its torch aflame
And through the ash -copse gleams of scarlet
came ;
But what enchantment dawned with early
morn 1
On every shrub were belts of brilliants born
While e'en the tendrils flash with jeweled
thorn ;
Each roof has ornaments that artists shame;
The trackless fields, new restful beauty claim
Like virgin leaves from hod's own volume
torn.
Earth is not drearbecause the skies are dull,
The year has yet Arcadian gra ce to show;
The zealous seeker finds delights to cull
Among the treasures which tie winters
know.;
The world in Jane is not more beautiful
Than'neath the silent silken fingers of the

The Graves of a Household.
They grew in beauty, side by side,
They filled one home with glee;
Their graves are severed, far and wide,
By mount, and stream and sea.
The same fond mother bent at night
O'er each fair sleeping brow ;
She had each folded flower in sight—
Where are those dreamers now?
One, 'midst the forest of the West,
By a dark stream is laid—
The Indian knows his place of rest,
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue lone sea, bath one—
He lies where pearls lie deep ;
Ho was the loved of all, yet none
O'er his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are dresb
Above the noble slain;
He wrapped his colors round his breast
On a blood -red field of Spain.
And one—o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves, by soft winds fanned;
She faded. Italian flowers—
The last of that bright hand.
And parted thus they rest, who played
Beneath the same green tree ;
Whose voices mingled as they prayed
Around one parent knee.
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheered with song the hearth—
Alas for love, if thou wart all,
And naught beyond, 0 earth!
