Above the Storm.

The winds OF winter have breathed their dirges
-, + ar over the wood and the leaf-strewn plain
Inty nave passed, forlorn, by the mountain yerges
Down the shores of the moaning main;
And the breast of the smitten sea divides,
iii the voice Of winds and the voice of tides
Seem tlent with the roar of the central srgeS.
" nose frultleSS burrows are s0wn with rain.
The pines look down, and their branches shiver
On the misty slopes of the mountain wall,
And | hear the shout of a mountain river
Through the gloom OF the ghOstly georges call;
While from drifting depths OF the troubled sky
outringeh the eagles wild reply,
50 shri that the startled echoes culver;
And the veil Of the tempest is over all
o groaning forest, wind that rushes
ntcttercd and fierce as doom nalign!
How the pulses leap, how the heart-tde Pushes
The temples and brow like the flush of wine
As pause, as | harken the vast connection
OF the air, of the earth, of the Weakened ocean
Aud my soul goes forth with the storm that brushes,
With She battling foam and the binding brine.
Y ca, my soul is rent by tempest stronger
Than Natures with ruin rife,
And the flame OF its lghtnings can bde no longer,
Ensheathed at the core of clouded life
And its pent up thunders Embossed at last,
Keep time TO the rhythmic rage of the blast,
/ or my spirit, half maddened by Fates that wrong
her,
Is shaken by passion, and hot with strife.
All God! for the wings of the eagle above me.

An God. Tor an impulse like theirs TO move nae,
In endles. courses of upward flight;
The clondS may billow. the yapors heave,
But still his pini0ns the darkness cleave;
And proudly serene in those realms above hue

I'LL at length. his great, broad vans at even
And stately poise on the airy stream,

His form outtaShed like winged beam
And ask, "Shall my spirit soar like this.

OF the shining heights and the glory given

A commercial centre Of a very peculiar
character was some years ago established
at Boquilla, New Mexico, forty-fve miles
from Fort Stanton. At first the settle
ment consisted of three or four pioneers,
and it has now grown to forty men and a
proportionate number Of women and chill
dren. 1t is a colony of horse traders, and
they trade altogether upon other peoples
horses. They have gathered in thousands
OF them from the territory round about,
and no horse that goes into the Boquilla
stables is ever after seen by his owner
The stables are supposed to be under
ground and are as yet unexplored by the
upper world. The centre of this com
merc!al village is a sort of fort. Several
descents have been made upon it, when
not a man could be found within its walls,
or, in fact, anywhere in town. 1t is be-
lieved that they disappear underground
by means OF concealed shafts, which COM
municate with subterranean passages to
the nearest rayines Thus the men escape
when their village is about to be visited
too nnmerously or inspected too closely.
Everything above ground looks fair and
honest, but the outside appearance of Be-
qullia is sham. The village is a shell
its business is robbery, and its pretensions
are hollow A squad Of cavalry recently
made descent upon it, but found only
two or three unimportant men-none of
the leaders, who are said to be three Mex
leans, named Chavez, Macs and Ligas. 1t
has been resolved to explore the village
both above and underground.
