You may water your bays, brother poets, with lays
That brighten the cup from the stream YOU doat
By the Schuykl's side, or Cochituatc's tide, Ion;
Or the crystal lymph Of the mountain Croton:
I'VE may pledge from these,
In our summer ease,
Nor even Anacreons shade reye Us \
But |, from the food
OF his own brown blood,
VIII drink to the glory Of ancient Mus.
Cloud never gave birth. nor cradle the Earth.
To river grand and fair as this is
Not the waves that roll us the gold Of Pactolns
Nor cool Cephissus, nor classic lssus:
The lily may dip
Her ivory lip
To kiss the ripples Of clear Eurotas,
But the Nile brings balm
From the myrrh and palm,
And the ripe, voluptuoas lips Of the lotus.
The waves that ride on his mighty tide (ains.
Were poured from the urns of univisited mount.
And their sweets of the South minge cool in the
mouth
With the freshness ana sparkle oi Northern
Again and again fountains.
The goblet we DRAIN
Dyiner a stream never Nereid swan on
For Isis and Orus
Have quaied before MS,
And Ganymede dipped it for Jupiter Ammon.
Its blessing he pours DER his thirsty shores
And floods the regions of Sleep and Silence,
When he makes GASES in desert places,
And the plain is sea, the hills are islands.
And had the brave
Anacreon's staye,
And lips like the honeyed lips OF Hylas,
I'd dip from his brink
My bacchanal drink,
And sing for the glory of ancient Nilus!

PLEA FOR THE HEART.

Liza run Ink
BYHENRY W. PARKER.
The human heart the living heart
A sea in storm, or sea Mt rest,
Where golden joys in glimpses dart,
Or monsters lift bristling crest;
And hidden fountains boil below,
And upper, under currents flow
All, why and whittier, who may KNOW
Such is the heart.
Trust not the heart, iii be trust
In boarded goodness, windy will
Thy rock Of faith is drifting dust,
And willfulness is lust of i'll
But If thy calmer mood it be,
That loves to bow the humble knee,
Fear not /; an angel leadeth thee:
Follow thy heart.
Passion may flash in vivid flame,
And madly rush at reasons bound;
And worship for n human name
May wildly east thee to the ground;
But if't is love, and love alone,
That, as a flower, has gently grown,
And would to seraph eyes be known,
Honor thy heart.
Doubt may embattle earth and sky;
The hottest word seem but word;
Yet heed thy heart let not its cry
In all the conflict be unheard.
God is not found in mental din
A way He would more sweetly win
Oh, bring the King of Glory in I.
Believe thy heart.
Error may come in robes of light
And lead thee in its sylvan path;
Or wrongs may rise in fettered might,
And ask voice Of righteous wrath
But first learn silence; stay TO think,
And III thy burdened soul must sink,
From outward danger scorn to shrink:
Utter thy heart.
Wouldst rae the castle that may screen
The nested adiers of the past
Or wou,ist tho cath il in the green
Ofreverent ivy rlinging fast
Cherish the old,,s2nr fear the new,
And pay the p14 Its grateful due,
Yet be TO human longings true
Enlarge thy heart.
The human heart "a sea at rest,
Or tost in dashing passions play;
A gate that bars each angel guest,
Or swings apart 10 boundless Day;
a vine that struggles for the liglt.
Or fills--a knOtted mass Of blight
And self-impicrcing thorns Of spite
Oh, save thy heart.
The & il all be thine deep
ThH.ls.irrors all the upper blue;
An arch triumphal with sweep :.
So high that Heaven may enter through
A growth that clasps the Highest THRONE
And circles Earth--a blooming ZONE
A HrART-a pulse OF Natures own
Such be thy heart.

THE MINSTREL.
By WILLIAM PEMBROKE MULcHINocx.
OVER land and sea, how fast and free
Is the Minstrels fancy flight
As the dawnng beam, or u msrning dream,
Or the flash of the lightning bright;
All the shapes of air, and the hues they wear,
With the buds and the flowers OF Spring;
|. Is his to Irvine in the glowing line
That leaps from his wild harp's string;
And false but fair are the castles la air
That in dreams he upbuilds with heed
As he speeds at will over vale and hill,
On the back of the Winged Steed'
Though the shades Of care DER his forehead feir,
May daily and nightly pass
Though his hopes sun bright in the glosm ofnght
May wither like prairie grass;
Though the iron age for his heritage
Give harvest OF hate alone,
And the world pass by with averted eye
And heart rs unmoved rs stone;
Still the words of fire from his golden Tyre
Are true to a God.like Greed,
And night and day. let a world say nay,
He is Lord OF the Winged Steea.
H.
Though he never may hold or silver or gold
Or gems of the diamond mine
He has gems more bright of unfading light
The gifts of the tuneiul Nine
And sweeter, ween, is the deathless green
OF the laurewreath ON his brow
Than the foremost place with lordly race
That are ruling the green earth now
Oh! he writes his power on each passing hour
And he scatters the goodly seed
As he speeds from care, through the realms OF cir,
On the back OF the Winged Steed.
w.
In his cleaning eye, there's promise high,
That never shall fail or fade,
Ofthe deathless love that Is born above
And cvermore courts the shade
Oh that soul of flame to deathless name
Through chance and through change shall climb,
Till the ends OF earth rejoice at the birth
OF the Star OF the Future Tine
Then shout ye and sing, till the we!hin ring!
Prepare ye glorious need
For the gifted men ofthe tongue and pen
