70 1.-THE MAID OF THE MIST" AT GrLrINs FALL
I've whirled DER leagues Of plain and hill,
And like its gusts have swept the sea,
Yet one deep dream is on me still
Sweet Molie t is all of thee.
lack wings the hea IT from plain and tide,
And loves and fingers at thy side.
see thee give tho parting flower,
Whose very touch was like spell;
And starlc at its sudden power
As deadly pnlencss on ME fell
And SEQ thy guleess beauty bend
In blushing pity DER thy friend.
I've seon it in that ego Of blue
Bright wandering over earth and sky;
And when thy cheek to crimson grew
When some sublimcr fantasy
Wrought in thee like lofty muse;
But these were passions, tears and hucs.
I've seen thee press the rose to lips
That might have Civ n them richer rod,
And where the western sunbeam dips
Its radiance, gaze till all was fled;
Sweet Girl when once thy hour is nigh
Thy lot is bliss-or misery
Who tells thee this silent one,
Who loved thee as thou low DIST the flowcr
With passion to himself unknown;
And erred round thee hour by hour;
And saw thee but lovely child
Nor woke till all his soul was wild
Child as thou vert, yet ddst thou nc'er
Think who he was that loved thee so
Did thy heart never thrill to hear
His love, SO strange, so sad and low?
The glance so raised so sunk agnn,
Was not the fearful secret plain
Yet have torn myself from thee
This hour tho surge is at my feet
That Leirs me, ali how gloomily,
Where thou and | sh all never meet!
And 'tis fitting hour to tell
The heirts deep history;-Fars the we'll!

COLD IN THE ARrIc REGIoNs.--Cold in the
Attic regions is much more cndurabc than
would be supposed. On going out in the
morning, the first breath you take gives a
tickling sensation to the lungs and yon feel it
clear through them, as though you were
breathing some exhilarating gas; hut after
the first breath the lungs seem to adapt them
selves to it and though the thermometers
stand at fifty or sixty degrees below zero,
they experience no great inconvicncc. AT
