LOVE AND AGE.
I played with you 'mid cowslips growing,
When 1. was six and you were four;
When garlands weaving, flower -balls throw-
ing, ,
Were pleasures soon to please no more,
Thro' groves and meads, o'er grass and hea-
ther,
With little,playmatei, to and fro,
W6 wandered hand in hand. together ;
- But that was sixty years ago.
Yon grew a lovely roseate maiden,
And Still our early love was Wang ;
Still with no care our days were. laden,
They glided joyously -along; • -
And I did love you very dearly -
How dearly, wetds want power to show;
Ithought your 11(.1 t was touched as nearly;
But that was fifty year. ogo.
Then other lovers hame around you,
1- Your beauty grew from year to year,
And many a splendid circle found you
The centre of its glittering.sphere.''
I saw you then, first vows forsaking,
On rank and wealth your hand besiow,
0, then I thought my heart was breaking;
But that was forty years ago.
And I lived oiPto wed another;
No cause she .gave me to repine;'
And when I heard you were a mother,
- I did not wish the children miae.
My own young flock in fair progression,.
Made up a Pleasant Christmas row;
-My joy in them was past expression;
But that was thirty years ago.
You grew a matron, plump awl comely,
Y ou dwelt in fashion's brightest blaze;
My earthly lot was far more homely,
But r, too, had my festal -days.
No merrier eyes have ever glistened.
Around the hearth -stones wintry glow,
Than when my youngest child was, chris-
tened;
But that was twenty years ago.
Time passed. My eldest girl was manied,
And, now I am.a grandsire gray •,./ -
One pet of foul years, old I've carried.
Among the wild -flowered meads to play.
In our oldfields of childish pleasure,
Where now,.. as then, the cowslips blow, -
She fills her basket's ample measure -
And this,is not ten years ago.
But thoughrst love's impassioned blindness
. Has passed' away in colder night,
I still have thought of you with kindness, -
And shall until our last good -night;
The ever -rolling. silent hours,
Will bring a time we shall not know,,
When our young days of gathering flowers
.wia be au hundred years:Ago..

Water -Proof Viral's. .foi• all the Dukes G-reat Britain and
Nothing is so pernicious to the
health and comfort of a family than to
occupy •a dwelling house, :the crater
walls of which are not Impervious to
the humidity of the atmosphere; still;
many of those that are built of brick,
and stone, and that have otherwise the
impress of substantiality, are affected
by the beating rain or prevailing fog
to a degree that f ten cause. the great-
est inconvenience 'and mischief. Mo-
dern discovery has .been able to over-
cona.e this nuisance in the most perfert
-manner, which is thus refer ed to by
London Engineer.
One of the most recent of the Many
uses to which' Air. tredericK Ransome's
process of naanufacturing artificial stone
has been applied is in protecting' the
outer walls of buildings, so as to enable
them to resist tho action of the weath
making by makinthem water -proof.
Th l'O ugh well-built and substantial
walls moisture will make its way, and
the ordinary tyee of dwelling -house is
very pervious to wind -driven rain. We
recently noticed what Mr Ransomp is
doing in preserving stone' and his
system of water -proofing is only an
application of the same process.
The external surface of the walls to
be protected are first washed with- a
slicate cfseda or solutionof whicii
is ai.plied again and again, an* the
brioks are saturated, and the. silicate
ceases to be absorbed. The strength of
the solution is regulated by the characta
er of the bricks npon which it is to be
applied, a heavier mixture beiog used
upon porous walls, and a li,ghter one
upon those of.denser texture. After.
the silicate has become thoroughly ab-
sorbed, and none is visible upon the
surface, a solution of chloride :of cal -
titan applied,i whieh immediately
combining with the silicate of soda,
forms a perfectly insoluble compound,.
which completely fills rtP all the' inter-
stices in the brick or stone, without in
any way altering its original appear-
ance. By this operation the wall is
rendered perfectly water -tight, and, as
the pores ofthe bricks are thoroughly
filled fora considerable depth from the
surface with the insoluble compound,
which is entirely unoffected by atmos-
pheric influences, no subsequent pro-
cess is necessary. .
Already Mr. Ransome, the inventor,
has successfully applied thii process to
a large number of buildings, seveial of
which were previously.almost uninhabi-
ta.ble from the constant dampness, and
a lengthened experience has proved
that it, is not only thoroughly effective,
but from the comparative insignificance
of its original costoind the fact that
renewals are never required, the sys-
tem recommeds itself for general adop-
,tion in preference to all other methods
of water -proofing.
a Ride With A. Lunatic.
The pleasures of travelling in Eng-
land are vividly illustrated by the fol-
lowing incident which happened on a
line near London :-
A young lady got into a second class
carriage, where she was soon joined by
a genthautau about thirty years old.
whose manner seemed. very strange
and excited. They were 'alone in the
can iage. As soon as the train started
this man got up all of a sudden, and
began ey throwing his carpet -bag out
ot the window, saying,- I
" This carriage is much too liertvy.
Come, we must lighten it as much as
possible."
lie then bat down, but jumped up a
nriunte after, screatining out, -
"It's. too heavy I Its. too hPavyr
And so saying he sent his coat out of
the window to join the carpetbag,
then went his cravat and his
shoes
. He then sat down and appeared to be.
thinking profoundly All of a sudden
he turned towarcl the young girl, who
was as frightened as possible, and
said. -
"On your knees, madam, on your
knees ! We will pray for the Duke of
Gloucester!"
And he knelt down.
The poor girl immediately obeyed
him, • The stranger then oegan praying

II r tetn* dh sat down again. The young
lady, more dead than alive, was in a
corner of the carriage, a prey to the
most, profound terroi.
Nevertheless, this strange person soon
began to feel less quiet.

Hanging.
'(From the Pall Atall Gazette.)
Whatever grounds may Ibe urged for
retaining or abolishing capital pnnish-
mem, there is one question connected,
with the subject which hardly reeeives
the attention it deserves. Assuming
that it is necessary to- put an end . to
the earthly ear.er of a certain cia.as of
climioals that object is fully gained by
the quickest and most merciful ineans..

of many executions told us wailfully
what really hai pens, we believe they
would give the following -account:.
*When the drop falls the culprit strug-
gles violently for about three quarters,
of a minute ; his head then droops on
one side; he becomes mot- onless, 'and
at this moment the reporters say he is

duration very minh according _to the
manner in which the executioner has
exercised his s ill, but its average
duration is about two minutes, measur-
ed by our time. We believe this to be
a fair account of -what takes placeat
most executions, -the details of course,
varying according to the dexterity of
the hangman. The slightest error ina
adjusting the noose, any nsiscalcniation
in the length of the drop, may make -
the suffering tenfold greatar in one case -
than in another. The truth is, we ap-
prehend, that hanging, even when skil-
fully performed, ia but a barbarous
mode of putting an end to life, and.
performed, there is reason to
fear that it becomes positive tot ture.
