ourselves OF all such feelings, and,

THE BOATMAN.
A maiden sits in tiny bark,
Singing so sweetly,
The bOatman he is grim and dark,
Rowed SO freely.
The stream is narrow, the banks are fair
"Rest thee, good MASTER"
Idle her longing, vain her pray'r,
lie rows the faster.
Amen, they float on the river wide,
A mighty river,
Instead Of flowers by the water-side,
Pale aspens culver.
And 10, woman where sat the maid
,u, Who sang SO sweetly;
Ihe boatman, grim and undismayed,
Still rows tleetly.
On and on, till they reach the sea
That flows for ever;
And DRIFT away on the ocean free,
Returning never.
And vain it is for earthly eye
To follow thither
And vainly mortal tongue may CRY,
"GOne-whither, whitheri"
