This dream seems to us as br;rht as the

be as beautiful as prairie, Windermere as
Erie, a garden as a wilderness of wild flow
ers. The element Of vastness is only want
ing and ne can find that in our purposes and
our tropical possessions. Palissy's life was
noble, though the end of that toll and en-
deayor was only a pretty enamel and the
work Of Athens was vast, though she never
covered the space of the Duke Of Suther-
land S estate.
All that man knows of the ideas which
should regulate human organization was
worked out by nation Of less than 10000
freeuien, SO worked out that Europe has no
words for policy save those the Athenians
used, and in eighteen hundred years has in-

Is nothing, organization everything, the

greater and more than the biggest, if it pos

spirit, men who could scarcely be seen on its
sides, tunnel through it at their leisure.
But then we want the fixed idea that Eng
land, which cannot be the mountain, is to be

What hidden woe can be SO deep2
What inter grief can last 50 long,

She even bids the roses wait,
And gives her first sweet care to you

And trusts his tender brood to You;
Fair flowing vines, the summer long,
With clasp and kiss your beauty WOO.
The sunshine drapes your limbs with light,
Theraia braids diamonds in your hair;
The breeze makes love to you all night
Yet still you droop and sdn despair.
Beneath your boughs, at fall Of dew,
BY lovers lips is softly told
The tale that all the ages through
Has kept the world from growing old.
But still, though Aprils buds unfold,
And Summer sets the earth aleaf,
Or Autumn pranks your robes with gold,
You sway and sigh in graceful grief
~ourp on forever, unconsoled,
And keep your secret, faithful tree!
No heart in all the world can hold
a sweeter grace than censtancy.

LOVES BEGINNING.
BY THOMAS cANp8ElE

BY THOMAS CAMPBELL
How delicious is the winning
OF q kiss at loves beginning,
When two mutual hearts are signing
For the knot there no untying.
Yet remember, midst your wooiug,
Love has bliss, but love has ruing;
Other smiles may make you 6ckle,
Tears for other charms may trickle.
Love he comes and Love he tarries,
Just as Fate or Fancy carries;
Longest stays when sorest chidden,
Laughs and flies when pressed and hidden.
Bind the sea to slumber Silly.
Bind It's odor to the lily;
Bind the aspen n 'er to quiger,
Then bind love 70 last forever
