SONNETS. BY BERT PIKE.

Evening has fallen on the Arkansas.
 His dark and muddy waters float along, Making no lnurmur as they idly pass. On either side there sleeps the windless mass
 Of the continuous forest, and among
 The stars the moon her silver lamp has hung, Fed with the spirit of the sunken sum- No blue waves dance the stream's dark mass upon,
 Glittering in light, like beautys silver tears, No ocrest of foam above this river dun
 It's misty ridge of congealed light uprsars All were void and blank, but far away dark blue ridge is set against the sky, Beyond the forests utmost boundary. Not so vast thou, majestic Merrimack.
 When thy blue brow was clothed in starry sheen Thy heart went leapng in it's hollow track, And over thee did foam the misty rack
 Ofthy white foam. Few trees did to thee lean, Dipping their crowns within thy cooling flood;
 ct were thy banks delicious with the green And glitterng grass, on which the dews did brood. Gray rocks above thy living tide upstood
 Scared with the thunder, and still villages Slept in the spirit of the ocean breeze.
 Thou seemst to roll around me and nfold
 My heart within thy waters, as of old.

kash oil, fierce Time, thou mighty tide,
 That sweepest hope from out the soul Eternal sea, upon whose wide
 And wild expanse dark shadows roll. 4 cry ot anguish rings above
 1he rushing ot thy constant waves, rom broken dreams and shattered love. Ger which thy deep, dark waters lave. Rush on, fierce Time! There was a day 4 sunbeam on thy waters shone- When gaily have bid thee stay,
 And cheer me with thy musc-tone. he qulYerlng pulse of sweet emotion
 " as busy in my inmost heart, And from the foa'a of thee, wide ocean. Bright, san-bright forms appeared to start The music of the world was in
 Ny heart, like sunlight in flower, And voices with merry din
 Were busy there at litis's young hour. Still. still hear those sounds afar,
 Within its memory haunted cells; Cold, old and spirit like they are,
 And ln their tones thy stern voice swella. Love, like glorious star, shot down
 From It's revolving, silver sphere, Made in the boys young heart his throne,
 
 And life became tenfold as dear. lnsatiate tyrant! thou didst crush
 With thy relentless hand the dream That futtered like golden thrush,
 Heart full ofjoy, ill loves bright beam. On my affections sternly broods
 Thy minlon, Death, and one by one Wastes them, and through the solitude The low tones of his laughter run Sire-sisters torn away, and still
 l cannot choose but live and bear The agonies of woe that thrill
 For those that loves own angels were. Rush on, fierce sea of Time-rush on. The hoary terror of thy tide Casts not shade my heart upon.
 Thy powerfully wrath l do deride. Sweep onward l have little left
 10 tempt me now to cling to life. Sweep onward! for l seorn thee. Drift Drift on, thou sea of storm and strife.

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS.
BY W. c. BRYANT.


Here halt we Our march, and pitch our tent,
On the rugged forest ground,
And light our FIRE with the branches rent
by the winds from the beeches round.
Wild storms have torn this ancient wood,
But wilder is at hand,
With hail of iron and rain Of blood,
To sweep and seattle the land.
How the dark waste rings with voices shrill,
That star,le the sleeping bird
Tomorrow eve must the voice be still,
And the step must fall unheard.
The Buton lies by the blue Champlain
In Ticonderoga's towers,
And ere the sun rise twice again,
The towers and the lake are ours
Fill up the bowl from the brook that glides
Where the fire flies light the brake;
A rudder juice the Briton hides
In his fortress by the lake.
Build high the fire, til the panther leap
From his lofty perch in fright,
And well strengthen our weary arms with sleep,
For the deeds Of tomorrow night.

My spirit seeks its best reposo
In high and sacred bowers.

Where thy mild lustro leads;
The fields Of neither earth leave,
To roam through heavenly meads.
A sun must rise and sink,
Another sun must rise,
Ere shall leave heavens hither brink.
Called downward from the skies.
Hail lovely eventide,
Most like that time begun,
When toll forever laid aside,
Lifs's long week shall be donc.
