A SUMMER TERROR.

And gazed out over the sea;
And the scene was full Of quiet,
And tranquil as could be;
When strange unearthly groaning
Like voice Of fate was he ard.
And the leaflets erst so quiet
by its frightful sounds was stirred.
And the maiden shrieked in terror:
" It's the fierce AID dread cyclone;

And its wierd, wild, w1efal tone -
But the yonth, though pale, was fearless,
And he sad, 20, bear Thy pain;
