The Lion-heart was skilled in all the
warlkc sports Of ihe day but especially
in that Of archery. Fitting an arrow to
the bow, he shot at q twig great distance
off, which the arrow struck and nailed 10
the trunk Of the tree. Eated at his feat,
he returned the weapon 20 the archer who
smlsd gravely, and placed an arrow a.
right, drew the string to the length Of the
borb. The bow gave shril twang, and
tho arrow, whisting as it fcw, stuck in
in the extremity of tho preceding one,
which it split in fragments. Richard
was astonishod by the skill shown by the
archer and requested his nam>.
The outlaw gave no reply, bat Lifting
his horn to his lips, blew q blast that
sounded shri'ly through the iorcst.---
Scarce had the lingering echoes died up
on the air, when hundred arch rs ar
rayed in green with quivors filled and
bows bonded, were seen gathering around.

At tho aannouncemcnt of that name the

A LEGEND.
NJ WILLIAM c. BRIANT.

BR WILLIAM G. BRIANT.
Upon rock that high and sheer.
Rose from the mountains breast,
A weary hunter Of the deer, ....
Had set him down to rest, ....r-.
And barred, to the summer air,
His hot red brow and sweaty hair.
All din. in haze the mountains lay,
y, With DINNER valcs between,
And rivers glimmorcd on the way,
Ay forests, family seen; d
While ever rose murmuring sound
From brooks below and bees around.
He listened till he seemed to hear
A voice SO soft and low,
And whether in the mind or ear,
The listner scarce night know;
With such tone so sweet and mild,
The watching mother luils her child.
"Thou weary huntsman," thus it said,
s "Thou faint with toll and heat!
The pleasant land Of rest is spread
Before thy very feet,
And those whom thou wouldst gladly see
4lrc waiting there to welcome thee"
! He looked, and 'twixt the earth and sky,
Amidst the moontlde haze,
Al shadowy region met his eye,
And grew beneath his gaze,
AS if the vapors Of the air.
Had gathered into shape so fair.
Groves freshencd as he looked, and show
ers
Showed bright on rocky bank.
/ And fountain swcllsd beneath the bowers,
Where deer and pheasant drank.
He saw the glittering stream; he heard
Tho rustling b3ugh, and twiltering bird.
y And friends the deaJ-in boyhood dear,
m There lived and walked again;
md there was one who many year
Within her grave had lain,
IA fair young girl, the regions pride
bIis heart was breaking VIXEN she died.
IL bounding as was her wont, she sams
Right towards his resting place,
And stretched her hand, and called his
name,
With sweet and smiling face,
Forward, with fixed and eager eyes,
The huuter leaned in act to rise.
{ Forward he leaned, and hcadlong down
Plunged from the craggy wall;
He saw the rocks steep, stern and brown,
An instant in his fall
A fearful instant and no more
The dreana and life at once were o'cr.
