NEW POEM BY WHITTIER.
The Bay Of Seven Islands,


with its tin-roofc'l chapaie stood
iiaif hid in the dwarf spruce wood:
Green-tnrfc' iowcl-sown, The last outpost,
of summer upon the dreary coast
with lis gardens small aud spare,
Sad In the frosty air,
Harl by wher,, th,, sLinnpr's sehoonerI Law
a fiSherrnan's cottage looked away
Over isle and hay, and behind,
On mountains dim-deiined
And thar, twin sis,,,. r.ir AND v,,,uy
Laughed with their stranger guest, and sung
In their native tongue the lays
III The old ProNcncaldayS-
Alike were tbey saye ,hn fgi,t outline
OF "A scare on suzcttc's forehead fine;
And both IL SO hctcll,
Loved the hereto stranger well.

But the heart of the skipper claye to me;
Tho less hy his eve than heart
He knew the twain apart.
