POETRY.


By y, S. DANA.
"Alas our sweetest flowers here have blown
In vain we seek where fresher buds may grow =
The dying breath Of winter now was stealing
Sweet oidors of the SPRING
And early birds with gladdened hearts were peal
ing
First notes upon the wing.
The very air was vital with new being
And newer pulses of life,
A. the honrse winds and frigid storms were .ee-
ing
The last hours Of their strife.
How drearily the aged elms were lifting
Their arms against the sky
Their wiered presence vocal as were drifting
The weeping rnin-drops by.
Such are the hours when burdened souls are
breaking
Enshrouding tnts Of gloom,
As everything in Natures realm is waking
10 rarer life ofbloom.
Now, foudest hearts caught not the cheerful
swelling
Of Natures choral tone.
For this sad truth within their thoughts was
dwelling,
Our dearest one is gone
Gone to cline which myths and legends pic
ture
In far and faircr lands,
When the freed soul in triumph rises victor
Over LIES ebbing sands:
While Earth's frail tenement is lowly sleeping
Within its vaulted home
And the lone Philomeia watch is keeping
Above its sculptnred stone.
The fearful violets will soon be springng
Over its mound again.
While pleasant winds in the old elms are singing
meted requiem.
How sweet the hushel and silen. slumberns,
OF Innocence at rest,
To lead our contemplations from smbattlings
OF Earth to climes more blest.
Then let those lids weighed down with tears be
learning
To wear again their smile
And chastened hearts for their lost treasure yearn
ing,
Seek it where dwels no gue
The spirit strengthed by newer feeling,
And nerved the dropping eye
For harps of many strings are softly pealing,
THAT ANGLES NEVER DIE !"

ed on the animals back, must have been
full two feet high, it being strapped on a
very thick pad this would give IL feet.
Now. when standing upright, the attitude
usually adopted BY sportsmen when beat
ing the jungle, in order to see better
around them, my head must have been
near nineteen feet above the ground but
the grass was generally three, and in
some places six feet higher than my head.
The stalks we're full an inch and half in
diameter, and it would be almost impos'
sible, certainly very fatiguing, to attempt
to force passage on foot through such
a thicket, independent of the chance Of
meeting with tiger on sudden.

A WASHINGTON paper has an interesting
item relative to the Camels in Texas based
on recent information The animals are
doing well, the experiment of their accli-
nation having thus far proved success
sful. Those first imported are now trans
porting supplies between St. Antonio and
Camp Verde. Three little ones we're
born in March and are thriving, and five
or six more births are expected. From
the reports of the animals, at present, and
through the eleven months that the first
importation have been on the Continent
we may regard all doubts as to their ac-
climation dissipated and that SO much of
the experiment is f1ed fact. The only
remaining intermediate point is the char
acter of the stock that may be produced.
For this, time will be required. The of
GERS in charge are, however, sanguine that
it will fully equal that of Asia Minor and
Africa, and may, by proper attention, be
more highly developed"
