IN OTHER SKIES.
/ went across the snowy fed.

1 went across the snowy field.
An eelie wind swept whistlihg by,
Far off church bell slowly pealed.
Than silence filled the hollow sky,
AS if the daylight held lis breath
The very seal and soul of death.
So late the sparrow's pipe did drown
Murmur Of leaves and wash OF air,
The biuebird shook measure down,
The robin whistled everywhere.
The bobolinks wild squirt of song
Bubbled and sparkled all day long.
So late from coyerts o: tie wood--
Stars trembling, flowing waters still
The spirit of the solitude
Sang soft, sang far, the whippoorwill,
And thrushes made the glad tears start
While dim strange JOY half broke the heart
So late, so late from every bough,
Mad music troubling far and near
As if the sunshine sang, and now,
The frost of empty silence here.
So might dead world sink and swoon
Beyond the dark side of the moon.
Oh, songs of unforgotten moods.
In joyance hitler have you flown?
Within what sweeter lattudee,
On what serener breozes blown?
Upon what bloom, what golden bough,
Oh, singers, do yon MARBLE now?
Within what other heaven showers
The lavish measure of your tune:
Are other skies mole soft than ours?
Are other skies more fair than June?
All crystal safe from sun OF drouth,
Is there land more south than south?

CHARLES AND TITAN.


Titan had painted the portrait of
Charles several times, but now being
called to the court of that prince, he
painted his portrait just as he then
appeared in the latter part OF his
life; and this picture greatly pleased
the renowned emperor; so much so
that he would never sit to any other
artist; and for every portrait Titan
took of him, he gave him thousand
crowns in gold.
Titan, in all, painted three por-
traits OF the emperor; and when he
last sat to him, at the conclusion of
the picture, Charles said with en-
phasis, "This is the third time have

ISAAC WATTS.

DIR. Watts's inclination for learn
ing was very early displayed. 1t is
stated, that while he was very young,
before he could speak plain, when lie
had any money given him, he would
say 10 his mother, "a book, book!
buy a book" He began to learn
Latin at four years old. When
about seven or eight, he was desired
by his mother to write her some
lines, as was the custom with the
other boys, after the school hours
we're over, for which she used to re-
ward them with farthing. Isaac
obeyed, and presented her with the
following coupIet:
81 write not for farthing, but try
How | your farthing writer's can outvie."
1t is even said that he turned
everything into poetry. His father,
who was averse to 80 much rhyming,
at length forbade it. But to no pur-
pose; it was but rhyming still. At
last he threatened punishment; but
as the threat did not operate with
sufficient power, the punishment was
to be executed. On his knees, with
the rod over his head, he only said :
"Dear father, on me pity take,
And Will no more verses MAKE"
1t is almost needless to say that
the father was obliged 10 abandon
his plan.
When about seven or eight years
old, he wrote the following acrostic
on his own name. How fully the
power of prayer here offered was
answered, even the youngest readers
need hardly be told.
am vile, polluted lump Of earth:
So rye continued ever since my birth;
Although Jehovah grace does daily give
me,
AS sure this monster Satan will deceive
me;
Come, therefore Lord, from satan's claws
relieve me.
Wash me in thy blood, o Christ.
And grace divine impart,
Then search and try the corners Of my
heart,
That in all things may be TT to do
Service to thee, and sing thy praises, too.
