In the blue sky thy voice is rich and clear:
And the free brooks have songs to bless thy
They leap in music midst thy bright domain.
sfThus gazing on the void and sapphire sky.
Summer! in my inmost soul arise
Uplitted thoughts, to which the woods reply
And the bland air with its soft melodies
Till baskingin some Visions glorious raw,
I long for eagles plumes to fee away !"
But soon the summer will have fled us.

ABOUT HALPIHE.

The lte Miles O'Reilly had an extern
sive literary acquaintance One Of his
friends writes about him in the following
strain to the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader:
"Halpine was man Of this world in
all things, with grief, short-lived as a
tear, and vitality enough for a whole
Irish fair He was splendid physical
preseDce-tall, broad, becoming his cloths
"a dragons head, fine. eyebrow,
strengthening up large, vascillating
blue eye. Nature gave him a stutter to
make more perfect in all other impress
ions his handsome Irish manhood. Out
Of this fine body came delights too pleas
ant for its posoessor, hut except in the
patriotism of the man there was not an
American element. Iie was every inch
Nile ian; the family stock was good,
but the nation ineradicable.
"Greely is the greatest man II the
world p he said one day, bursting into
nv room. II wish you to say SO in an IN
side article this week. I have just had
the most wonderful talk with him that
has been had outside Of Sava e Landor
He talked precisely like Socrates. Now |
am going off to see Bennett"
He came back after while, saying
that after all Bennett was the great COM
mon sense head Then he gave an i'm
itation of Benefits Scotch accent, and
| burst into the room to write a sonnet on
The old Lion Of Washington, as he called
| Bennett. In FIVE minutes he was ready
for a new imprc ssion.. 1t was this splen-
| did boyishness which made Halpine SO
lovely to everybody who got to know him,
in other than business relations. When
| Shillaber, the other day, wrote at the
head of his poem the boy is dead |
know the rare old Nestor knew what he
urtelel. And Halpine, superbly alive to
his own character, wrote himself The Boy
Miles 9ts.~ ri
This impressibleness, from being mere
Iy receptive quality, grew, under Hal
rine 5 talent, to be positive power. He
could throw himself into moods, as some
actors are said to do, with real. believing
Intensity, and, writing on both sides oI
tile question in half day, was honest IN
| he pro and. the con. Thus he became
splendid man to employ in partnership
as literary hand. Tammany Hall lead
ers SO found out, and hitched him to theil
pillow, and he made the furrows for theiI
harvests. But they universally cheated
him, except with praise, which, to a poet
is the only standard coin. At last.J ohr
| Y. Savage, one-of the truest cid men il
any politics, advised Halpine Of his i'll
treatment, and proposed to him an indie
pendent Democratic anovement. The
began Halpine's war on Pammany Hall
which lasted many years, u til the schism
compromised with him on the register
ship. In this warfare he was very II
regular worker, being oyeramiable, ion
of short fights and long calumets, alto
gether too good for a politician. Som
: Of US used to bully him up to the attack
