UNDER THE SEA.
By SUSAN COOLIDGE.

They were scrambling down the
rocks, gay, chattering procession
pretty Kate with her Captain; DR.. Gray
supporting his invalid wife; Helen, Is
abel, Tom, and their midshipman cous-
in; last of all, Esther Vane-alone. It
seemed to her morbid fancy right that
it should be so. Henceforth she must
be alone-always.
The little guide trotted on in advance
his round, 1O-year-eld face wearing
the vacant look SO strangely common
to that part of the Maine coast, with
its glorious scenery. There the ocean
is considered simply vast depot of
behring's and "porgy OIL" and the
mountains as untoward obstacles in the
way of primitive husbandry. "Blast
'em, wish they was fat" the natives
say, as their plows encounter the bowl
ders at the base; and, if they look aloft
at all, it is to calculate the perches of
"medder-land'' which might be made to
occupy the same area, if the heights were
out Of the way.
Our party felt on the eve of great
things. Having arrived only the day
before, Mount Newport with its won
derful reach of sapphire sea, the bluffs,
the lakes in their settings of dark-blue
hill, were still to them the images of
things not seen. This, their first excur-
sion, they had dedicated to the I" Grot-
to, !" or " Devils Oven," as the coast
people term it; sort of submarine
cave, unveiled and accessible at low
tide only, and q great wonder in its
way. The path grew sleeper. Care
fully they followed its windings, step
by step, sure-footed Kate accepting the
help she didn't need, for that pleasure
in being guided and watched. And now
the little guide pauses, and with q freck-
led fore-finger points round a projec-
ton of rock. All crowd to the spot.
All! there it is-the cave of the mer-
maids!
A shrek of mingled surprise and en-
chantment burst from the party at the
sight. Beneath the low-browed arch
the rocky floor rose, terrace above ter
race, till in its highest recess it met the
roof above. A door for the nereids to
dance upon; floor of pink coralline,
cleaning here and there through pools
of emerald water left by the retreating
tide. And each of these tiny lakelets
seemed trimming with f1owers-the
, flowers of ocean-green whorls, like
chestnut-burs; anemones with their
dahlia bloom; brown and rosy MOSES,
among whose tendrils bright fish darted
and played and snails of vivid orange
color clustered; broad leaves of brilliant
dye swaying and undulating with the
motion Of the pool-minute specks of
life flashingevery irridescent hue EARTH

Light rocka my bonny boat,
A little idle thing,
A,bird Of folded wing,
With happy, careless swing,
Where summer sunsets fling
Their wealth of warmth and gold,
Their purple breaths unrOlled!
Light rocks my bonny boat,
Empty, light and free,
Under caressing sun,
Upon the sleeping sea.
Sleep In my armSOf love, o sleep, sweet baby
Thy mothers breast thy sea, her smile thy warm
sunshine!
Glad rocks my bonny boati
Across the wide blue bay
All through the glowing day
Come gittering as they may
The sparkle ships so gay;
sunbeam each for crew,
Their freight, spice breezes new,
Glad rocks my bonny boat.

By the light waves caressed
In its safe and sunny nest
Within the harbor's breast

At some stern future call

Still calm my bonny boat
Rocks itself half asleep;

The same; DER port and deep.
Sorest, my darling, rest, in calm, untroubled
For life. for death. forever. thy soul is His to
