UP AND DOWN THE CASTLE.
UP AND DOWN THE CASTLE. A SOLILOQUY. I told you some weeks ago that I was only wait- ing for the first visitor to arrive to begin afresh my attack on the water question. I have been peace- fully slumbering during the winter months,in ordgr to recruit my at any time weak intellect. I have awoke refreshed, and on the first excuse have com- menced my wanton ar:d mischievous attacks on the town, in a leader. I want to have this year as last year, slips cut out of the paper for which I am "hrditer," and stuck in all the principal hotals at other watering places, to deter visitors from seeking renewed health at Aberystwyth, which, though in realit) one of the loveliest watering places, I detest beyond my power of expression Did you see my scribbling of the 10th inst. It that is not sufficient for the greatest enemy to Aberystwyth I don't know what is. I call, the water bad, and why? Simply because I am a devotee to another scheme,involving the outlay of many thousands of pouuds. If there was any defect in that water I should close my eyes to the fact. My statements of the facts aro radically wrong. The surveyor really said the springs tapped in the flats were, to all appearance, good, the water was drar, and though he did not 1 Kste it he would willingly do so without fear of! being poisoned. These springs are not surface Springs, but come from a suhterranean reservoir. It b a well known fact,at least to engineers and prac- tical men, that underneath the fiats there is an im- mense water bed, not of surface water, but water from the surrounding hilis and the adjoining river, and which, having been filtered through a gravel bed, is fit for the most fastidious persoa to drink. I know full well that the only fault to be honestly found with the flats is that the work has sever been carried out, and I only open the discussion to gain my own ends. Don't you know the fallacy "we" prfach is "The power that can kill can also restore." Foolish though this is, I believe most ardently in it, but at the same time am conscious of my inability to do what I say. If I accomplish my end I am satisfied, and by foul means I mean to try. J hate Wales and the Welsh. Just look now at this covert insinuation of mine. "The surveyor bad wisely not tasted the water." Now I did not say the water was poisonous, mind that; I am safe under that subterfuge, but just tell me cannot a timid person from that insinuating styl3 of composi- tion easily infer that the water is not only unfit to drink,but isjurfous to health, and if that person ha.d any notion of coming down to Aberystwyth he would banish such a thought as out of the ques- tion altogether. Then again just look at this sneer of mine about "the true flfiends of the town." Didn't I rap Messrs Williams, Ureen, Morgan, and Co., on the knuckles,but I know they do not care a straw for me or what I say. They look on me as some- thing beneath their notice, and justly too. This finishing teuch of mine is meant wholly and solely for Mr Green. "It is some consolation to know that Abecystwyth has not y«t sunk so low that it mustge to the month of a drain for its supply of -water. Pumping is a grand thing, but we cannot tolerate surface drain 'spring' water even for the exquisite pleasure of possessing twe-entire pumps'" Is not the language sublime. Do you know after I had written that piece of composition I could hive taken a journey up the North Parade and given my mttch abused post a most affectiosate hug. I am attacked by dne cr other person every week for my mis-statements but I am too far gone to cace for ^hat they stj. Another thing if people are not in- formed they will think that the small pox is at Aberystwyth instead of a few miles out. Unserted the report so judioiously-in my own estimation- that prople will sooner tra^ a hundred miles ancther 'v/ay than-come to Aberystwytb. I didn't touch or the question last week, because I shall, perhaps, another week. I had a go in a'bout Peny- parke and manure heaps just to vent my spleen a bit you know, Demme it's what I like. I shall come sat again-ohortfy so be prepared, For all is bad that's m the towa, The hsnases, gas and water, Each Welshman tomy mind's "L clown, And ta be exterminated oughter. To return to the water L-consider I tried to shift the ruinous "printing" about the 'thus on te the shoulders of the council m a most masterly manner, but some people do say I did it rather clumsily. No matter/I had a good try to shift it off my own shoulders, it I did fail, E did'nt thrak anyone would see through my excuse, but unfortunately for me they did, and set me dawn for what I am worth—not ffiuch, I am ratheroclraid. 'I have hriefly stated my vicwa, but if I spoke the truth I should say -Aibervstwytk is a lovely town, 'be water is gOtJd. arad if progjerly looked after would giva an abundant supply, more than suffi- cient for all possible requirements. IVOT ANOTHER«GOOD MATF GONE. Cardiganshire has lost a.good friend in Colonel Powell, of Nan tees. He is aman who will be missed. His purse was ever Teady to lbetp the needy and distressed, often before be was as&ed. No lDattervfor what purpose, so that it bad for ats aim the amelioration ctf distress the furthering of some, good work. "Colonel Powell was ready, if not to head the list always, at least to give bountifully. One of his last 8Ct«-of kindnese-was to forward < £ 10 -with wbich to purohMe coals foritbe poor ofTregaron during the winter. His well filled bookshelves were always at the disposal of those "who chose to ask for the loan of any particular wort. It was Colonel Powell who furnished Tregaron with a library, and I am informed on good authofttythat he has,by will, bequeathed his library to Tre^eron. H<e# was the friend of the widow and fath«iiess, and has, let us hope, gone to meet the reward «of his goodness on earth. W€LTJNTEmRB. Surely Aberyst "h is as patriotic •« anywhere else, yet there ie not a volunteer corps in the town How is it ? Cannot there be .got together a suffi- cient number of yourig men Aiho would be willing to memorialise for the formation of saeh a useful budj? The countty is now felly alive to the advan- tages to be derived ffom the •formation of »oiunteer corps, whose duty it would b« >hj time of invasion to defend their own homes. if only one hundred would come forward, that weiitd be swSLcieaat for a start. There arekplenty gentlwaaen in tbe.town and neighbourhood fully >gualified for the post of efficers so that there would be no drlllwbaek in this direc- tion. There is plentydf ground t^railabla for the par- pose of drilling, and from the staff of fhe militia instructors migbt be obtained.

Many p-srsoas, myseK among the number, have laughed at Jules Verne's riepoll "Forty thousand leagues un<fier the sea," said put down the ideas there propounded, as sot oaly improbable but impossible, owing to the £ reat pleasure at the water at buch a depth. But I o<w see, to my astonish- ment, that sech a machine as is described by that ^jenlleman is being eaastoueted by the admiralty for uffeDsive decfensive purposes, in uval war- fare The proposed informiti maduneis to be 1-21) feet %ODg, arm-sd with a four barelled revolving gun, and & ram oapsbleof piercing a em of war's sk&u. She will be abie to proceed at the rata of eigbteea knots per hour, and remain with her oMv under water for from esght t-0 ten hours. If it is possible to remain under water ten hours why not with increased appliaace* tweaty or ereo forty hoars f The vessel will be propeHed by means «f compressed air, and lighted by electricity. The late Lord Milton ha* the credit of being the originator of the machine, but certainly Julea VertM propounded the Plan exactij the same way as is now being adopted. perhaps Lord Milton took the idea from Juies Vtt-ne—it is not improbable. BUSINESS. There can be no mistaking the fact that under the new x^erk the School Board mean business. They will prosecute in every case of non-attendance.

! DEAD TREES.
DEAD TREES. To the Editor of the Aberystivyih Observer. Sir,—I notice on the North Parade there are several dead trees as well as two or three gaps where once were, I presume, trees. The expense attendant upon purchasing trees to fill up the gaps, and replace those dead,would be but very slight, and the improve- ment to tho parade would fully repay the outlay. Are the Council sleeping, or are they afraid to expend small sums on improvements ? If asleep let them be roused from their slumbers, and make the town more a model town than it is at present, There are many things required to be done before summer comes, and with it the visitors. All that is needed is a demand from the public. Surely there are two or three members whe have the good of the town at heart. Let them bring this matter forward. YourS; etc., Aberystwyth, May 1(5,1878. PROGRESS.
LLANBADARN PETTY SESSIONS.…
LLANBADARN PETTY SESSIONS. 1 To the Editor of the Aberystwyth Observer.. It is well known long' ago that the house where the sessions are held is condemned by the Sanitary Board, and it is plain enough to all that the sessions must be removed. To where, is a question. I hope that will have the sineere consideration of the magis- trates. Why should it be held at the very lower part of the district ? Why not have it somewhere in the centre, say Tynllidiart for instance, which would be very convenient for the magistrates, viz., Mr. Bonsall, of Fronfraith, Mr. Morgan, Nantceirio, Mr. T. W. Bonsall, Glanrheidol. Not only Tynllidiart is in the centre, five sixth of the population are above, how awkward it is for persons living up at Ponter- wyd, Eisteddfa, and all round the Devil's Bridge to go down all the way to Llanbadarn. Again it would be very convenient for those that live at Salem, Pen- rhyncoch, Penybont and Goginan. One might ask where there is room to hold it at Tynllidiart. Well at Llanilar it is held at the schoolroom. And I have no doubt if Mr. Rees, the worthy vicar of Bangor, were asked, he would give his consent to hold it at the National School, which is very commodious and suitable in every sense of the word. If the sessions were to commence at 12 a.m. instead of 11 a.m., the children could get the morning, and as for once a month, they could have school on Saturday. I am certain if this alteration could be arranged it would be a great boon to the public. I am &e., UN O PONTERWYD. May 15th, 1878.

To the Editor of the Aberystwyth Observer. Sir,-Where shall the sessions of Llanbadarn be held for the future, but at Tynllydiart Chureh SchoolPThereyou may find ample room for hundreds; there you may find ample accomodation for man and beast: there you may find a place of peace for the many who may have to appear before the bench, and there ycu may find that all done and said is really carried through without a. village gsssipping party being present, and a saving of eight heavy miles forth and back-for such is the distance to all par- ties in this district. From Steddfa, Ponterwyd, Goginan, Cwmrheidol, CwmsymJog,Pontrhydfeddan, Pem-hyncoch ,and in fa.ct all places in the country axe I crying out that the petty sessions for the future may fee holden at the Tynllydiart village school-room, where the bench, lawyers, press, and lookers-on may -all find a comfortable well-ventilated room, full of seats, and can at all times find everything that may be required in the way of refreshments for man and horse at the very quiet and comfortable wayside inn, clean and very reasonable. Let us hope that to this place may the sessions be transferred, for the good of the poor as well to the advantage of the bench, bar, and poliee. S. T. Penllwyn, May 15th, 1878.

HOW WE MOVE ON AT TOWYN.
HOW WE MOVE ON AT TOWYN. To the Editor of the Aberystwth Observer The soft breeze, as it comes out of the west from over the sea, moves on. Those beautiful stars which bedeck the sky, and illuminate the night create within me often an ardent desire to possess the power and skill of an angel, so as to convert the milky-way into a necklace, and dress it with the pride of Orion, and hang it round the neck of the beautiful girl who was the pride of my youth and the hope of my future happiness but the stars have moved on, and clouds move over the milky-way; my youth has vanished, and fair Evelina is the queen of another. There is a dampness coiling round me, and I seek for consolation, 'mid the happy and the gay, but they move on, and I find that the song of mirth is not sung for me. The mist is gathering thicker, and the world moves as it were from my grasp, and I begin to feel that the end of this and the beginning of the endless path have come, but instantly things move on, and I find myself within a circle where the unhappy sing and pray and are taught to hope for happiness. Well, here is a place from which I thoaght I would never move. I found, nevertheless, many moving in and out, and thus did 1. Your readers may worder why I ever moved from it, or from the society of those who beguiled away time in such 1L manner. If, however, I have not moved from the path of charity and good will; I may perhaps be pardoned, even by men, for having moved from the train of those whose profession is brighter than their deeds, I have moved on, and so would those poor wretched, miserable, shrivelled beings around which the dark smoke coils in endless wreaths in what are known as "Alms Houses" in Towyn, Merioneth. These bouses were raised by hands moved by what has moved off-Charity. The blackened timbers are there, though. the mud floors are there, the roof is gjonewith the winds and the tempests; but men's hearts have not Tttoved to compassion. The aged inmates crouch together in the corners, but the rains find them, their very beds are often wet but alas they CMmct move on. They have moved en so far as to re- place the elates on the roof with rags, which protrude through the boles, calling loudly for help to "those who dwell therein. People are too much occupied these days to think of the oki and infirm mothers who hang on the borders of eternity,Jin those vile dens shrouded in smoke, pelted by the rain and sleet, and withered by the blasts as they sweep in their fury through the glassless windows alia broken doors of the hovels which ornament one of the principal streets of the town that has recently built acorea of new houses, two or three new chapels, and and is about to build more, and is also going to restate the ohorch and complete, its pier, but forgets its dying and its dead. That is moviag «n, and when thoee poor inmates of the Almshouses have been 3nowed on and placed beneath the tall grass and the ifcistlea in the forgotten and neglected-grare yard they, Jet us hope, will be happier than those religious people who shall survive them and who shall no doubt psty them when it will be too late for pity to be of aiy avail to them, I m ove on, and Ma Youra, &c.

ICR DAVID DAVIES, 14P., ON HIS CONSTITUENTS. This is how the peace-loving member for the Cardigan Boroughs spoke of bis ooaatituonts when addrmssing a party meeting at Newtown recently:— They (the Liberals) had their candidate there (Moatgomeryabire), and they had to return Ibin to Parliament and keep him thore, as with the point of the bayonet—(applause). What be meaxct was not the bayonet itself, but that they should keep him there when they pot him there, just as his own constituents kept him (Mr Davie?) tiasr-e— tbey kept him like a giant. He was not frightened! a hundred Tories. He would like to see a Tory in a contest with him. The only difficulty he would hs.e would be to keep his constituents in.

SILENT LOVE.
SILENT LOVE. You think I love not because I do not play Still with your ringlets, and kiss timo away; By love's religion, I must here confess it, The most I love when I the least express it. Small gifts find tongues; full casks are ever found To give, if any: yet but little sound Deep waters noiseless arc and this we know, That chiding streams betray small depth below; So when love speechless is, it doth express A depth in love, and that depth bottomless. Now since my love is tongueless, know me such Who speaks but little, 'cause I love so much. HERRICK.
OUR SAILOR BOYS.
OUR SAILOR BOYS. On seeing the boys of the Training Ship "Clio,' march down to Saint Mary's Church, on Sunday, March 10th,1878. Our sailor boys, a fearless band. They boldly march along, Well may Old England proudly stand Amid the nations fctrong While she can train young hearts of oak For champions on the main, To turn aside eat-h foreign stroke, Again, and yet again. Proud mothers watch with wistful eyes Their dear loved boys in blue To heaven their fervent prayers arise- May each prove brave and true And may their manhood's prime redeem Their boyhood's promise bright, May England's honour brightly gleam Where'er her sailors fight. For what are England's ships' and guns, In steel-clad turrets high, Without her gallant sailor sons That bravely do or die. Let other nations proudly boast, 'Tis slilor boys like these That make Old England feared the most, Proud Sovereign of the seas. A mighty charge those brave lads hold To keip Old England's fame, As bright as when, in days of old, It shone round Nelson's name. They guard our honour, hearth, and home, Our dear domestic joys May heaven protect wher'er they roam, And guard our sailor boys.

MAYF.AlR.-Mr.A- M. Sullivan, M. P., has written new chapter on ('New Ireland.' It deals with the relations of landlord and tenant in Ireland, and has and has special reference to the murder ef Lord Letrim. The article will appear in the forthcoming issue of Mayfair, which appears next week, permantly enlarged. To the same Number of the Rector of Merthyr contributes an account of his personal experiences m the undertaking of feeding 5,000 children during the prevalence of the distress in A NONCONFORMIST ON CHURCH Mtrsrc.~At the I Merthyr. recent annual musical meeting of the rarious district choirs connected with tho Calvanistic Methodists at Bridgend, the conductor wag Aiaw Ddu, who has been chosen as musical preceptor in the plaoe of the late leuan Gwyllt. In the course of an address, Alaw Ddu made the following remarks: —It appeared to him that chanting and anthem singing was generally disapproved among the dissenting portion of Christians. He assured them they were beneficial; and that authors who had devoted their time in composing chants as well as anthems had a. view to their being sung in sacred places of worship. Anthems were only heard generally by Dissenters at eisteddfodic meetiags. but owing to prejudice on the part of these in competition, and owing probably to unfairness, such music could not be received as it ahomid be. He entreated the various) conductors who accompanied the oheirs to adopt his suggestion in practising chant and anthem si nging as muchns possible, and endeavour to cope with their friends the Church people, who, he considered were far advanced in this respect as eompared with them- selves. A NEW GUIJtE TO NORTH WALES.—In a. few weeks Mr. Jenkieson's Practical Guide to North Woles will he ready for issue to the public, and tourists will be supplied with auch a complete cem- panion to this part of the Kinddom as they have never before had. Mr. Jankinson is well-known to all visitors to Keswick, and his admirable Practical Guides to the Lakes, Carlrsle, the Isle of Man, and the lBl< of Wight, hare earned for him the grateful thanks of a host of tourists, who before had to wade through the mazelike contents of publications of the old eehwol. Mr. Jenkinson has struck out a new line with his guides and promises fair to outrun other guide-boeks in public favor at home as Baedeker has done on the continent. We have no doubt that before long, Mr. Jockinaon's green covers will be as familiar in our tourist haunts as the scarlet covers of the famous German guides abroad. The grand feature of Mr. Jenkinson's books is the thoreugh manner in which every detail is given, no pains being spared to give the most minute instruc- tions to travellers in every way. We have eeen a portion of the North Wales guide, and find it fully to sustain the author's powers. The amonnt of labor which the work repreeents is very great, as we un- derstand Mr Jenkinson has waliced over all the dis- trict, in order that he may have the advantage, never to be too greatly estimated, of personal obser- vation. In addition to the guide-proper, with accom- panying maps, there will be chapters on "Local Namee," "Welsh History," "Geology," "Botany," "Mines and Mineralogy," and "Angling," all written by gentlemen practically acquainted with the sub- jects. The'book complete will be issued at 7e 6d, or 6s without the swientific chapters, smaller guide 2s, and five sectienal guides Is 6d each. Mr Sanford, Charing Cross, is the publisher. Speaking of Chapman's Entire Wheat Flour, a writer in the II Christian World" says—"Many of the first physicans of the day are prescribing no other medicine for their little patients, and it is astonishing sometimes how children who have pined on a diet of fine white bak«rV bread, will thrive when fed on well- cooked porridge made of this Entire WheaUFleur.
