POETRY.
TIE OLD HOMESTEAD.
BY JAMES RUssELL LowELL.

BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL,
The wet trees hang above the walks.
Purple with damp and earthish stains,
And sirewn by moody, absent rains
with rose-leaves from the wild-grown stalks.
unmown, in heavy, tangled swaths,
he ripe June-g grass is wanton blown;
SnaiIs slime the untrodden threshold-stone
Along the sills hang drowsy moths.
Down the blank visage of the wall.
Where many wavering trace appears
Like forgotten trace of tears,
from swollen caves the SLOW drops crawl.
Where everything was wide before
The curious wind that comes and goes,
Finds all the lattced windows close,
Secret and close the bolted door
And with the shrewd ana curious wind,
That in the arch6d doorway cries,
And at the boltcd portal tries
AND harks and listens at the bind
Forever turks my thought about,
And i'll the ghostly Eiddle-nig
Find all the hidden windows bright,
And sees the guests go in and out
And fingers till the paIld dawn,
And feels the mystery deeper there
In silent, gust-swept chambers bare,
With all the midnight reyel gone;
But wanderS through the lonesome rooms,
Where harsh the astonShed cricket calls,
And, from the hollows of the walls
'anishing, stare unsbapen glooms';
And fingers yet, and cannot come
Out OF the drear and deSolate place,
SO full of ruins solemn grace.
And haunted with the ghost of home.

After enumerating her proes writings, the
writer says: ''But the ballads of Ha anlah Moore
touched the great heart Of the English people
with spell as weird and potent as that exer-
cised by her tracts. We must give one Of
these as an illustration of the fclicitous and
