The Louisville Journal says "we defy any tas
full lover Of poetry to read the following liz,
without exelaimhg-lIow beautiful"
Ny soul thy sacred image keeps,
ay midnight dreams are all uf thee;
For nature then In silence sleeps,
And silence hroods DER land and sea
Oh, In that still mysterious hour,
How oft from waking dreams start,
To bud thee but faIcy lower,
Thou cherished idol u my heart,
Thou hast each thought aud dream Of nine
Have la turn one thought OF thine
Forever thine my dreams will be,
Whao'er may be my fortune here,
ask not Lowell claim from thee
only one boon, gentle tear
May blessed visions from above
Play brightly round thy happy heart
Aud may the beams Of peace aud love
Sc'er from thy glowing soul depart.
FAREWELL all dreams are still with thee,
Hast thou one tender thought OF me?
Ny Joys like summer birds may ay,
My hopes like summer blooms depart,
But there's Que flower that cannot die,
Thy holy memory In my heart
No dews that one flowers cup may fl,
30 sunlight TO lis leaves be given,
But It will live and flourish still,
A. deathess as thing Of Heaven.
HT soal grests thine, unmarked, unsought.
Hast thou for me one gentle thoughtl
Farewell farewell , my far.of friend,
Between us broad blue rivers How,
And forests wave and plains extend,
And mountains In the sunlight glow
The wind that breathes upon thy brow
Is not the wind breathss on mine,
Tho starbeams shining ON thee
Are not tho bAsms that on me shine.
Pat meROry's spell is with me yet
Canst thou the holy past forget'
The bitter tears that thou and
May shed whene'er by anguish by bowed,
Exalted into the noontido sky,
May meet aud mingle In the cloud;
And thus, my much loved friend, though we,
Par, faa apart must live and move,
Our souls, whom God hsth set them free,
Can mingle in the world Of love.

THE Holy GRAIL.-The title Of Tenny-
sons new poem is not generally understood.
The following explanation ~ill make il
clear; "Tha Holy Grail" was Il cup made
Of single precious stone, from which the
Savior is said to have drunk at the last sup
per, and which was afterwards filed with
the blood flowing from his wounds while on
the cross. According to the old legend this
mystical vessel miraculously disappeared
Que day from the custody Of its keeper,
and thenceforih il was the highest ambition
Of all worthy knights to go in search Of it,
aud IL possible TO effect its recovery. "The
,cst Of the Holy Grail" forms a part Of
the old romaTce Of liking Arthur" com
piled in the reign Of Aenry ylI-a work
from which Tennyson has derived the ma.
terals for several Of his Arthurian poems,
Tue adventure was at length achieved by
Sir Galnhad, the Virgin knight in act and
