| MAxIMUs MELANGE.
love the bright and bubbling briefs" that
thrill, invite. inspire,
That kndle in the rowing eye the interested
fire,
That shine upon the reading world like stars
upon the sea,
That kiss the solemn depths of mind and throb
with grief or gee,
In varying colors laid for man and maid
Take all your long-run stories hence and trim
their chestnut hairi
Give me the clustered epitomic thought OF
everywhere;
The cream of every mind and soul and action Of
the day
Chnrned in the modern journalists most fascin-
ating way,
Spread more aud ever more the pages DER.
The eagle at q sweeping glance beholds the
countryside
At dawn, and ere the dews have gone views
ocean wild and wide.
He sees the storms sweep DER the land, he sees
the children play,
He sees the horrid rush of war, he sees the
sports of May
And /, too wish to see so handily.
Oh! crush those drowsy homilies, electrify the
air.
Let scores of fresh-cut gems replace the bulky
i solitairel
Bring forth the trenchant pen and Ill each drop
of ink with thought.
And let no child OF misbeltef stand frowninG
by nnfought
While yet the sanetum power may guard thu
hour.
love the bright and brainy 'briefs" that thrill
invite, inspire,
J That kindle in the busy eye an interested fire,
That shine upon the reading world like stan
upon the sea,
That kiss the solemn depths of mind and throt
Il with grief or glee.
In varying colors laid for man and maid.
