* LEAL SOUVENIR!
* [WORDS UNDER A PORTRAIT IN THE NEW WING OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY, BY JOHN VAN EYCK.]
* Is it a friend who is painted here,
* Rugged of feature, and homely of dress?
* Did he inspire such a leal souvenir,
* All those years back on the banks of the Lesse?
* Was he a friend as a friend should be,
* Loyal alike in praise, and in blame;
* Prone to be silent, yet prompt to foresee
* Every call upon friendship's name?
* Was he so steadfast that no one could e'er,
* E'en for a moment, his constancy doubt?
* Honest and faithful, so just and so fair,
* His whisper meant more than another man's shout?
* It was ages ago, and mankind, we are told,
* Has since become selfish, and hard, and austere;
* Yet I think it were strange, if 'twixt friends, new and old,
* We did not own, too, just one leal souvenir!
* Spectator.H. A. Duff
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 131/Issue 1691/Links to the Past

* LINKS TO THE PAST.
* When the first ripe blush of youth has vanished,
* With its changing hue of hopes and fears;
* When all memories of the past seem banished,
* By the shadow of succeeding years:
* When the loving heart, becoming colder,
* Loses much of wonted faith and trust;
* When, too, sorrow day by day grown older,
* Half forgot lies trodden in the dust, —
* How at such time will some little token,
* Drawn by chance from some long-forgotten nook —
* Mayhap but a flower all crushed and broken
* Lying hid in some once-cherished book —
* Stir again the icy heart to sadness,
* Rouse once more the memories of the past,
* Bringing mingled thoughts of grief and gladness,
* Whispering of the haven found at last.
* Till at length from past to present waking,
* Once again peeps forth a hopeful beam;
* As full oft the sun through dull clouds breaking
* Tints the autumn lands with ruddy gleam.
* Quiver.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 131/Issue 1691/Reunion

* REUNION.
* Where shall we meet who parted long ago?
* The frosty stars were twinkling in the sky,
* The moorland lay before us white with snow,
* The north wind smote our faces rushing by.
* Where shall we meet? On such a moorland lone?
* In crowded city street, or country lane?
* On sandy beach-walk, while the sea makes moan?
* In quiet chamber? Shall we meet again
* On any spot of old familiar ground,
* Our childish haunts? or in a far-off land?
* Ah me! what if on earth no spot be found
* For longing eyes to meet, and clasping hand?
* What then? — If angry fate reunion bars,
* A better meeting waits beyond the stars.
* When shall we meet who parted in the night?
* At some calm dawning, or in noontide heat?
* To-day? to-morrow? or will years take flight
* Before our yearning hearts find welcome sweet?
* When shall we meet? While summer roses lie
* Beside our path, and rustle overhead?
* Or later, when a leaden winter sky
* Looks coldly on the empty garden-bed?
* While youthful faith and hopefulness are ours?
* Or only when our hair is growing gray?
* Ah me! we may have done with earthly hours
* Before it comes to us, that happy day!
* What then? — Let life's lone path be humbly trod,
* And where or when we meet, we leave to God.
* All The Year Round.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 131/Issue 1692/Indian Summer

* INDIAN SUMMER.
* BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN."
* Weep, weep, November rain:
* White mists, fall like a shroud
* Upon the dead earth's ended joy and pain;
* Wild blasts, lift up your voices, cry aloud,
* Dash down the last leaves from the quivering boughs,
* And wail about the house,
* O melancholy wind,
* Like one that seeketh and can never find.
* But come not, O sweet days,
* Out of yon cloudless blue,
* Ghosts of so many dear remembered Mays,
* With faces like dead lovers, who died true.
* Come not, lest we go seek with eyes all wet,
* Primrose and violet,
* Forgetting that they lie
* Deep in the mould till winter has gone by.
* — Till winter has gone by!
* Come then, days bright and strange,
* Quiet, while this mad world whirls reckless by,
* Restful, amidst this life of restless change.
* Shine on, sweet Indian summer, tender, calm,
* The year's last thankful psalm
* To God you smiling bring.
* — We too will smile: and wait the eternal spring.

* AUGUST ON THE MOUNTAINS.
* There is sultry gloom on the mountain's brow
* And a sultry glow beneath;
* Oh, for a breeze from the western sea,
* Soft and reviving, sweet and free,
* Over the shadowless hill and lea,
* Over the barren heath.
* There are clouds and darkness around God's ways,
* And the noon of life grows hot;
* And though his faithfulness standeth fast
* As the mighty mountains, a shroud is cast
* Over the glory, solemn and vast,
* Veiling, but changing it not.
* Send a sweet breeze from thy sea, O Lord,
* From thy deep, deep sea of love;
* Though it lift not the veil from the cloudy height,
* Let the brow grow cool and the footstep light,
* As it comes with holy and soothing might,
* Like the wing of a snowy dove.
* Frances Ridley Havergal.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 131/Issue 1690/Highwaymen in Partnership

From Notes and Queries.
HIGHWAYMEN IN PARTNERSHIP.
As an oasis in the desert is the following droll case in the heart of a learned legal treatise. I have just lighted upon it, and note it as an illustration of the, in a twofold sense, amenities of the law, — of the "locos lætos et amæna vireta" juris, and of the considerate and delicate euphemism to which the legal mind can, when need is, condescend. Everet v. Williams, (2 Pothier on Obligations, by Evans, p, 3, note, citing Europ. Mag., 1787, vol ii., p. 360) is said to have been a suit instituted by one highwayman against another for an account of their plunder. The bill stated that the plaintiff was skilled in dealing in several commodities, such as plate, rings, watches, etc.; that the defendant applied to him to become a partner, and that they entered into a partnership, and it was agreed they should equally provide all sorts of necessaries, such as horses, saddles, bridles, and equally bear all expenses on the roads and at inns, taverns, alehouses, markets, and fairs; that the plaintiff and the defendant proceeded jointly in the said business with good success on Hounslow Heath, where they dealt with a gentleman for a gold watch, and afterwards the defendant told the plaintiff that Finchley, in the county of Middlesex, was a good and convenient place to deal in, and that commodities were very plenty at Finchley, and it would be almost all clear gain to them; that they went accordingly, and dealt with several gentlemen for divers watches, rings, swords, canes, hats, cloaks, horses, bridles, saddles, and other things; that about a month afterwards the defendant informed the plaintiff that there was a gentleman at Blackheath who had a good horse, saddle, bridle, watch, sword, cane, and other things to dispose of, which he believed might be had for little or no money; that they accordingly went and met with the said gentleman, and, after some small discourse, they dealt for the said horse, etc.; that the plaintiff and the defendant continued their joint dealings together until Michaelmas, and dealt together at several places, viz., at Bagshot, Salisbury, Hampstead, and elsewhere, to the amount of 2,000l. and upwards. The rest of the bill was in the ordinary form for a partnership account. The bill is said to have been dismissed, with costs to be paid by the counsel who signed it, and the solicitors for the plaintiff were attached and fined 50l. apiece. The case is said to have come before the courts in the early part of the last century, and to have been referred to by Lord Kenyon; "but there is some doubt whether it actually occurred."

* A LAY OF LAWN-TENNIS.
* BY A LOOKER-ON.
* Now, young people, the fine weather
* Will soon be gone.
* Go and tennis play together
* Upon the lawn.
* While the sun shines make your hay
* Between the showers.
* Improve, like busy bees, to-day,
* The shining hours.
* Time flies. For instance, look at me,
* And at your aunt!
* As you are now so once were we.
* But now we can't
* Dance all night long till break of day,
* Nor, if we knew
* How, at lawn-tennis could we play,
* Young folks, like you.
* Already on the turf you tread
* The toadstool springs,
* Which, when the summer's drought has fled,
* Damp autumn brings.
* The grass will soon have got too wet;
* Too moist the mould.
* Play whilst you can — don't play to get
* Your death of cold.
* Play whilst those limbs you yet can use,
* Free play allow,
* Which they will by-and-by refuse;
* As mine do now.
* Yet, on the sports of youth to gaze,
* One still enjoys;
* As you may too, in future days,
* You, girls and boys.

* But his joys will be rarer, finer,
* Away from this earthly stage,
* When he, who is now a minor.
* Comes of age.
* Roll on, O! tardy cycle,
* Whose death is the poet's birth;
* Blow soon, great trump of Michael,
* Shatter the crust of earth;
* Let the slow spheres turn faster;
* Hasten the heritage
* Of him, who, as life's true master,
