The following pretty verses are by SAMUEL "
DUFFELD:
TERRA MooaNITA.
A little song has come to me-
strain Of sadness from over sea;
And 7 hear its music aud love 1t well,
Though the heart which famod 1t cannot tell
Alttle picture comes to me,
A dash Of brightness from over sea;
There arc clasping hands and holy face
But the name of the artist who can trace
SO I IN fifth which comes to me.
Believe in a Land across the sea,
Where my vaguest fancies stand supreme
In grand perfection beyond my dream
o land unknown :! in thee alone -. .
Shall for1nless lyrics to shape be grown;
In thee all rhapsody rigeth t.ue,
And the thoughts Of beauty are ever new.
o lind unknown where all iH best
In thee Is my aspiration blessed,
For toll and tarTy until may,
With my broken sentences, pass away.
Rev. WILLIAM G. RICHARDS, formerly well known
MS the editor of the Southern Literary GdzeHe
published in this city, now, we beheVe is living II
New England, as Baptist minister. The follow
ing neat little sonnet from his pen we find in The
Round Table: t.5
SNOW SONNET. s..5
Strange, silent, subtle SNOW Storm without sound,
Bhad0wy shape yet palpable In might,
-. Whose terrors tw1ne about uH in n1ght
And from soft sleep and sweet awake us bound,
A tented field and ghostly troops around
White waving flags from every w1ntry tree
- Flout In our face the vaunt Of victory,
That earth and we conqueror have found.
Not tho red wrath Of Joyes electric blow.
Nor ruthless rage Of wanton winds ut wnr,
That shake the seas and make the mountains jar,
8 Hath spell SO weird and wondrous as the snow.
: The silent stealty gnoW, whose frozen breath
Holds half the world In thra locked ina living death
