Music on the Water.

Ain—Believe me if all those endearing young I was dancing

charms.

Ob! hear you that Music, so plaintive and sweet, As it floats o’er the star spangled Bay, And seems, by its cadence, a requiem meet, To bewail the departure of day ; So sweetly it undulates over the vale, O’er the glades, and the woodlands of, green, Like the song of some Syren, that haunts the. green dale, To recount t e delights of the scene !

IT: So softly it floats, from the Zephyrs light wing, And so rapturous dwells on the ear, It speaks in a language unaltered by man, In acccents celestial, and dear ! It seems if some Seraph, some daughter of light, Had eunines her bright barpstrings ‘0, pla To chant aa recall the blest sungs of delight, She rehearsed, ’ynd the regions of day.

ii. That anthem of loveliness, charming aad sweet. This bosom shall ever retain, Shall find there an echo, a welcome retreat, A response to‘its Heavenly refrain ! When hie, becomes dreary,and daylight grows im And the World is dissolved with its glare, Uh ! then, we'll engage in a loftier theme, : Surpassing that beautiful air !

v.

. So softly it floats, where the Bbshed billows

lave, The Echo scarce wakes from her dream, Yet breathes a response, where the Pine- forests wave, . And where rolls stream ! Oh! Music, thou rapturous joy upon earth ! The Sour and the language of love ! How can we conceive of the bliss thou’lt im. art, oe When we join in the Chorus above !~

Sunpay— Get up at 11.15 a. m., and had! breakfast. Started at 12 with Harry and Jim for Beach Hotel. Arrived at 3 and, had a fine swim inthe serf. Played wist till tea time, with a Jew agent whe is stop- ping at hotel as forth hand. On account of Sunday only played 10 cent points; won 30 cents. Set eut for home at seven o'clock, and reached town at 10. I think Jim took too much refreshments at the hotel as he didn’t drive very steady, and near fell out on St. Peter’s road, which was very jolty on account ef stones. Went to bed at 11 and slep sound.

Monpay-—Got up at 8.30 and had break- fast. Had smoke and went to the office at10. Staid there till four. loaved in 3 shops; kad smokes in 2; herd a good story. After tea went to the "Rink to here a man named Blake speak. He is the leader of the Government at Ottawa, or something of that kind. Two others spout- ed, but none of them said anything that I could uncerstand. There was an awful crowd, and [ was sorry I went, only for meeting Alice Walkstreet at the deor, which I walked home with. ‘* Hello Dick!” says she, ‘‘is that you ?” and that’ was the first I seen of her. She told me there would bea man of war in soen, and a bonet-hopp. most, likely. Talked to Paddy Blarney and some nice fellows be the Post Office. Went te bed at 1.30 p. m,

Turspay-—Got up at 8.15. Had break- fast and smoke. Office 10 to 4 p. m. Alice Walkstreet took me for a drive in, the park in. her vis-a-vis. That Miss Clea-|

don’t like much. She gives herself airs ; she seemed awful surprised when I stopped the horse and jumped into the wagon, and I guess she'd have liked to go home only Al. would not lett her, She can’t talk about anything but music, or books, or England. I guess she aint mueh. She don’t seem used to society ; she says the ways of Charlottetown are ‘‘a serious of Went round town after tea; hada good time with Pat Blarney and Jim. We were making hay while the sun shines on account of Scot Act. Went te bed early and read an awful good book, named ‘* Dick Lightheart,” till fell asleep.

Wepnespay—Got up and had breakfast and smoke. Office, 10 to 4. I don’t like the law much. It’s two hard work. Will try to coaks the old man to send me to the Farming College in Ontario. I here there’s scarcely anything to do there. Besides, there’s so many going in for the law here, that its hardly fit for a gentleman, the way things are now-a’days. Loaved around town with the fellows and had smokes. After tea went to a select partyat Tom Truckman’s Oyster Saloon, where we staid till 10.30. Herd some great yarns, about the best I ever did, and wrote them down. Stood at Apoth Hall corner till 12.30 p. m.

Tuurrspay—Got up and had breakfast and smeke. Oftice 10 till 4. Felt deuced tired. Went to call at Goveenment House as A. Walkstreet thinks there’s going to be a party. Felt headache after last night’s dissipation. Think I must take the blie- ribbons (joke.) A. Walkstreet says she hates aman who smells of brandy, but I guess Oh’town gitls minds it abeut as much, as they mind a man who swears before them; that is what makes them sueh joily nice ‘girls; a fellow don’t have to be so everlasting caireful before them as before wimen from Nova Scotia and other parts. Was very seady and went to bed erly.

Fripay—saine as usual till 4 e’clock. I begin to hate the law, its so deuced dry. Its. only fit for country fellows, who never

go into society. Nell out fora ruwon the harbor. Cleaver wouldu’t go without a shaperoan, which made her stay home and welcome.

I will go back to Mrs. Walkstreet.”’ | With that I turned and left her standing like a ninny in the middle of the floor, ‘and didn’t speak to her again the whole night to pay her back. Saturpay—Same as usual to | o’clock. | Half holiday to-day. Me and Jim and | Harry hired a horse and buggy and started off to Beach Hotel, where we will stopp over Sunday, for a geod time.

Trial of the Largest Dredger in the W orld.

On Friday the new iron hopper dredger, recently constructed for Otage by Messrs. W. Simons & Co., Renfrew, was tried on | the bank off Greenock, on the Clyde, and it lifted at the race ef four hundred tons of material per hour, which was plunged into its own hold or hopper cavity, containing 1,300 tons.of spoil. At the same time it also loaded the new government steamer Perseverance, which came alongside, with several higdred tens. Afterwards, by steam appMances, its bucket-girder was lifted, its twin s¢xgws put in motion, and ithe ves] steam way to the measured mile, whiere the loaded speed was tested at 7% knotegper hour. The vessei was then steamed down the Firth of Clyde, where its cargo was instantly deposited through its bottom in 100 fathoms of water. This vessel has twin screws, dredges to 35 feet depth, and is propeiled and worked by two independent sets of compeund engines of 700 horse power, and besides loading its own large cargo, it can fill if required, a ‘fleet of barges and is the largest and most complete hopper dredge afleat. It is in- | tended to steam to New Zealand, and it is | werthy of note that owing to the enter- prise of that colony they will have a dredger the equal of which is neither in | Europe nor America,—Glasgow Daily Mail 18th ult.

Quick Fortunes. THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE IN THE OIL REGIONS.

That the oil. region is a country where fortunes are made quiekly is well known. The man who is begging his bread to-day may be wearing a diamond in his shirt front to-morrow, and the day laborer of last week is a monied man of the next ‘month. On our streets we can point to men whe couldn’t draw a check for ten cents six months ago. Now they can draw their check for $10,000, and the bank wouldn’t accept it. Yonder is a man who walked into Oil City as a tramp a year ago. To-day he is a porter in a hetel. Here comes a young man who borrowed ten cents of us last week to get a glass of milk. Now he wants to borrow ten cents | more. He says he wants to buy a meal. He dines on liquid meals. Go to Brad- ford and you will see the same evidences of prosperity. Aman who came inte this field when the excitement began with less than $100 is now worth as many thousands. Another whe was put in the lock-up, and borrewed meney to pay hie fine, was arrested again last week and sent to | jail. He couldn’t borrow anything this itime. Here’s another man whe went there with his last cent in his pocket. Last month he drewa check fer $20,000. He, too, is in jail. He signed another man’s name to the check. Such are the ups and downs of oil life. Here to-day, in jail to-morrow. The diamonds sparkling in your shirt frent in the rays of the morning sun may be pawned for fifty cents ere the orb of day sinks to rest. The man who hasn't place to lay his head to-night will be previded with a bed in the ‘cooler’ be- fore morning, but the man who has less than ten dollars on his arrival here, will in three weeks own a ten acre lease and an oil well with a $15,00 mortgage en it. —Oul City Derrick.

We are painfally reminded from time to time that President Garfield is by no means out of danger in spite of the cheer- ful tone in which the physicians indite the daily bulletins. On Saturday last, five weeks after the shooting, another serious relapse occurred, caused by the impeding of the flow of pus, and the President had again to undergo the operation of having a new outlet. When it is remembered that Mr. Garfield has lost some fifty pounds since he was shot, and that the knife has beer freely used on him by the physicians, the unreliable character of the bulletins which announeed immediately after the last operation that ‘“the President is in excel- lent health,” may be judged. There are fervent and unceasing prayers for the re- covery of the patient arising throughout this continent daily, and there can be no disguising the fact that the need of soli- citous anxiety | has not yet disappeared.

Ausrratta.—The following is given as the population, by the recent census, of the Australian colonies, as compared with 1871 :—
