THE shortage in the yield of grain this
season is attributed to the cold spring which
prevented it from stooling; also to lack cf
water when the grain was filling. Our
farmers feared to put the water on as crops
were late at best. and it would keep them
green toolong and an early frost might do
more damage than the lack moisture would
do good

Dibdin, Campbell and Wordsworth.

Christopher North, in the National Review.
Dibdin was no sailor and had never
been at SEA, but by living on the
water edge he picked up sea terms,
and though his songs are full of mis-
takes and III constituencies the sailors
never found 1t out, being quite salts
fed with hawserS, bow-lines, and few
sea phrases here and there. How is it
that Campbell's great ballads, Ye
Mariners OF England" and The Bat
tie of the Baltic" are never sung? |
have asked sailors, and they never
heard them. There must be some
thing wanting in them, and, indeed,
what should sailors know about the
meteor fag"2 They would say there
is no such flag in the British Navy.
"Then, what is the meaning of the
cannou's roar quelling the deep be-
lowe" l once asked Campbell, who

mine to find out his meaning. | fancy
he alludes to the fact that continued
firing has the effect of quieting the
surface of the sea around. How
strange a contrast there is between
Campbell's rotations and Words
worth's-the former in a thin weak
voice, settling now and then the curls
of his wig, reciting without power his
greatest lyrics; Wordsworth, with a
severe and simple dignity, giving a
tone to his recitation, which has often
after hearing him on hillside walk
thrilled me for days after. He has the
most remarkable power, in that way,
of any man | ever heard. 1t seemed
like inspiration, and could almost i'm
agine that he spoke by revelation.
Mr. G. spoke of aa unpublished
poem of Wordsworth's, written in
preparation for "The Excursio j." on

mind" which his friends declared to
be very fine. Il remember" said

ROMANCE IN REALITY.
MY LOVE ADD !.

We love each other. my love and !,
And the wind sighed low through the tasNeleo
corn,
The bobolnk sung in the dewy morn,
And the brook ran merrily by.
We loved each other, my love and L.
And the quail piped low mid the yellow corn
And heard In the distance the huntsmens norm
And the leaves were brown and dry.
We looked to the future, my love and L;
The future so crowded with hopes and fears,
That turns our smiles so often TO tears,
AS the days pass YEARLY by.
We spoke of the time when we two should
dwell
Together beneath fair southern skies,
Where roses in its fragrance mover dies,
And love hears parting knell.
The corn Was garnered long yesrsagoi
The boboIink' $ song Is heard 10 more:
ONLY a shadow falls through the door
Where he used TO come and go.

Where the flowers bloomed dead leaves no" lie,
And the grass DER his grave Is green
