“ ASPIRATIONS.”

Oh, tlie gloom of the Hereafter !

Of the grent and awful Future!

Ot Eternity’s great ocean,

Moaning, beating, endly breaking

On the wreck strewn shores of Time!

Far ont on the boundless ocean,

Out among ity rolling billows,

Is a mystic, magic island.

Home of joy, and love, and treasure ;

Whither goes the dreaming poet,

Whither goes the burning lover,

Goesthe man who longs for riches ;
.» Goes the mat who hopes for honor, |

There they find unbounded trensure ;
Trensure more thin heart can elaim

From the forests of the island
Builds cach one for bin u versel—
From the golden-strauded ishind
Freights his vessel to his liking.

Forth fvom this dim shadow-island

Suil these vessels which are hopeful,
Hopes of Joy aad Love and Riches,
Hopes of Fame, Renown, and Greatness ;
Borne by winds of ate and Fortune,
Many sink beneath the waters}

Weakly built or over loaded

Few ave they who land in sufety,

For this ocean of the future

Isenwrapped in mist and darkness;
There are shouls avonnd them lirking,
Nightly whirlpools to engulf them,
Deadly rocks beneath the surfice,
And they sail where winds may drive them,
Lund where they are cust by Fortine.

Oh, the gloom of the Ierenfter!
Of the great and awfal Future |

Of Eternity’s great ocean,
Beating, wouning, sadly breaking

On the wreck-strewn shores of Time !
Strewn with wrecks of ef hed longings,
Hopes of hearts now still ferever,

“ROSE TERRACE ;
on,
The Trail of the Serpent.

BY A. PD. ENGLISIT,

Lirr’s first recollections ave very plea-
santones. I think Jew children are more
uniformly happy than was Las achildjand
L look back, even now, with regret, to the
golden hours of that long-ago time when
{ sported tor days together with the birds,
butterflies and flowers which lingered

Ybuck to that period and live again
s intervening between then and
sah. no; L think few of us would. in
our Jater years, wish to live again the litle
almost over, unless we might: improve it
at our will—re-east our destiny, asit were,
through the erucible of a dearly-bought
experience,

We lived, papa, mama. and I, in a pret-
ty villa situated in the extreme subaros of
crowded London, where not a breath ol
the tainted city air, or a murmur of the

selfish city language, came to disturb my
peace, 1 say my peace, because L was the

only one of our little family who knew
nought of the busy tewn so near me in
reality, and yet so far frome in thought;
papa and mama went there often, but
never allowed me to accompany them ; so,
as 1 have said, 1 was lett with my birds
and buttertlies, and my dear nurse, Sally,

Rose Terrace was the name of our home,
and when I say it embodied its title 1 shall
have described it sufficiently. Within its
walls everything beautitul in Art was col-
lected; rare paintings and graceful stato
ary Were met with at every turn; without,
Nature’s beauties had command supreme ;
and Artand Nature joined band in’ hand
to make Rose ‘Perrace a very Eden,

Lhave stated that we three lived there,
yet Lean seareely say so with truth, for
papa was never at home oftener than twice
a week—sometimes not even so olten—and
then he frequently lett us the same day.
Hle was a tail, grand-looking man, with a
profusion of light hair aud) Saxon-blae
eyes, and a proud dignity of manner which
never unbent save to ny mums, Me, he
seldom noticed beyond smoothing my
curls—they were ilways in a state of en
tangled disorder at such times, to poor
nurse Sally's dismay—and calling me a
pretty child; sometimes, too, he would
give mea yellow coin, of which I neither
knew the name or use, but which Sally
said was a sovercign; and when L went to
chureh with her the next Sunday, we al-
ways put it in the poor-box,

I never saw manima but once a day ;
rang for me and her coffee togethe
nine o'clock every morning; and, fres
trom Sally’s careful hands, f would: enter
her presence to tind her reclining languid:
ly on a lounge, elad in a charmiag wrap-
per, with strong coffee on alight-stand be-
ide her, and a pamphlet in her hand; tor
years Tne saw niupniin any attitude
but this, save as she passed me in the gar-
den walk on her way to the carriage, which
took her, every morning at ten, to the
city, from whence she never returned, Sal-
ly said, till midnight. Like papa, she sel-
dom noticed me much, and seemed to re-
quest my presence once a day rather from
asense of duty than any pleasure she de-
rived from my society ; but, as Twas allow-
ed to sit quietly at ber feet, and wateh
ry expression of her beautilul face, 1
was content,

She was very lovely—not at all like papa,
but possessing an oriental style of beauty
most fascinating to me; she was a per t
brunette, tall, and rather vulapioously
shaped. LT remeniber, when Twas ditthe
more than a wee toddler, standing before
the great mirror in the long drawing-room,
and gazing discontentedly at my yellow
hair, china-blue eyes, and pigmy form. I
was always a little, puny thing, and am so
still, though not guite so smail as I was
then,

I think it must be plain to you that 1

And then she wonld shake her head

me with a Jarge idea of her superiority to
everybody at Rose Terrace,

meant by ** doings,” Onee a week mamma
held a reception, as she called it,bat whieh
Sally said was a supper.” On! such oc-

pelled by childish curiosity, T slipped c:
tiously down strits in my night-d
hoping that I might, unobserved peepinto
the biilliantly-lighted dining-hall, Sally
eaught me on the way, and I shall never
forget her look of horror as she lifted me
in her arms and earried me back to my
room.
“Eh, bairnie!" she eri. d, (do you want
to cat h your death o cold? Tothink, now,
that you shonld go toddiing over the cold
marble floor with these bare little footics!
Shame on you, lassie!”
And then she sat beside me, and sang
old Scotch songs in a croening, monoton-
ous tone, until L dropped quictly asleep.
My papa was seldom present at these
noisy assembliis, and by no means ap-
proved of them, Sally said; but mania
was wilful and had her own wey in this
as in everything. to her final injury; forjas
time wenton, papu’s visits to Rose Terrace
were fewer than ever, and T noticed that
mamma erew fretted, end her temper more
uncertain daily.
When about cight years old T was onc
day sent for from the diawing room. It
was Sunday. and my parents were both at
home, ‘The unus summons threw me
into quite a panic for a momert, but Psoon
put on abold tace and sought their pre-
senee. So quietly did I slip into the apart-
ment that I remained for a short time un-
observed by both, Mamma was lying on
asofa, her face buried in her hands. and
sobbing passionately; while papa stood at
nlite distance, looking very pale, but
yery stern,

like a pencock, Sally said, bat: papa de-
sired me to dress very plainly. Ilowevert,
this evening we departed {rom_ the usual
rule, tomy great delight. ,

We walked slowly towards tho city; my
spirits rising with every steps distance
from home,

‘Sally, will you: take
some day?” i oo,

«To London, barnie? Why, what
would such a little midge us you do iv the,
great city?” { : to itt

* See all the sights, to be sure, anidkall
the gay people., Sally! see, that, ok
euriage coming this way! [tis far pret-
tier than papa’s! And whata beautiful lady
—and there are two dear little girls—why,
I think they are going to stop! see /hew
they look at us!”

My exclamations were cut short by the
sudden halting of the earriage [ so much
admired, and in another moment one of
the footmen approached us, bowing obse-
quicusly,

«Pardon, moe madam, if Tintrude, but
my mistress, attracted by the beauty of
this charming young lady, begs that you
will bring her to the carriage.”

Sally sas naturally at enmity with all
people personally unknown to her, and
the gibly-spoken message did not produce
the efect probably intended. She looked
grimly down upon the embassador,

“Who might be your mistress, young
man 2?”

The ‘young man,” looking much in-

sulted at being addressed by bis right tile,
ansivered grandly,
“ Lady ‘Trevanion, of Treyanion Park ;?
and as he spoke he bowed to the Indy he
named, who watched us with evident in-
terest.

“Then tell Lady Trevanion, of Treva-

nion Park,” said Sally, with spiteful em-
phasis, ‘that Miss Melville, of Rose Ter-
race is not commonly exhibited on the
king’s highway. Stand out of my way,
young man, Come bairnie.”
* Anddragging me, much shocked at
my kind norse’s rudeness after her, Sally
walked rapidly back in the direction ot
Rose ‘Terrace.

“Why, Sally,” I remonstrated, when
her slackened speed gave me breath, mn
sure the lady was very kind, and E should
have been pleased to speak with: her,
Why wouldn’t you let me?”

**T had my own reasons, barnie,” she
briefly replied, and little more was said
antil we reached home,

With the fickleness of childhood my
erief of the morning was quite subdued by
the—to me—wonderinl adventure of the
evening, and my last waking thoughts
were of the beautiful lady who smiled so
sweetlynpon me from her elegant carriage,

“Tshall never go abroad without them,

Tis UBSIDENOE OF HAWAII

The Honolulu correspondent of th New
York Tribune, writing on the 19th August
last before ho could have known ot the
earthquakes in South America, from the
13th to the Léth of that month, says, ** It
is believed that Hawaii is sinking into the
ocean. — Eyer since June dast: unusually
high tides have pri led along the south-
erm and eastern shores, and it is now evi-
dent that the islind has sunk a few fect
on its southern shores, and a few inches
onthe east and north. At Ilawaii there
has been neticed a continned suecession
of volcanic waves whieh cannot: be ae-
counted for, ‘The first of these waves was
observed at TLonulalu on the night of the
Ith Atwust, and at almost the same mo-
ment it was noticed 200 miles to the south-
east. They were more powerful at those
pmts of Hawaii whieh are nearest to the
South American coast. They rolled: in ut
the rate of three or four per hour for four
days. They were not like the sweep of
