England for this article for more than
eleven hundred years before the Chris
tan era. 1t is said that this trade first
gave them commercial Importance in
the ancient world Under the Saxons,
DUR tin mines appear to have been neg
lected; but after the coming in of the
Normans, they produced considerable
revenues to the Earls OF Cornwall, par
tlcularly to Richard, brother of Henry
L I'LL; charter and various immunities
were granted by Edmund, Earl Rich
ards brother, who also framed the stan
nary laws, laying duty on the tin, pay
able to the Earls of Cornwall. Edward
III confirmed the timers in their privi-
leges, and erected Cornwall into duke
dom, with which he invested his son,
Edward the Black Prince, 1885. Since
that time the heirs apparent to the
crown of England, if eldest sons, have
enjoyed it successfully. Tin mines
were discovered in Germany, which les

'Tis morn-the sea breeze seems to bring
JOY health and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the early dew
And perfumes rise from many a grove
As incense TO the clouds that move
Like spirits o'er yon welkin clear
But l am sad--thou art not here.
'Tis morn "a calm unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep
A soft haze, like fairy dream,
Is floating over hill and stream
And many broad magnolia flower
Within its shadowy woodland bower
Is cleaning like a lovely star
But 1 am sad thou art afar.
'Tis eve earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes;
The stars come down, and trembling glow =.
Like blossoms in the waves below:
And like some unseen sprite, the breeze,
Seems, lingering mid the orange trees,
breathing in music round the spot -
But am sad see thee not.
"Tis midnight - with a soothing spell
The far tones of the ocean swell
Soft as a mothers cadence mild,
Low bending Ger her sleeping chic -
And oh each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the mocking bird
In many wild and wondrous lay
But am sad-thou art away.

Thy own dear voice is in my ear;
Around my cheek thy tresses twine;
Thy own love hand is clasped in mine

Thy head is pillowed my breast;

And am happy thou art here
