ISLES OF SHOALS.
The Home of Celia Thaxtsr CeIebra-
ted in Song and Prose.

Dear Chronicle:
Agreeable to promise l supplement
herewith the souvenir card l mailed you
from the Isles of Shoals.
That little group of islands made
famous by Celia Thaxter is most ro-
mantle. ''Appledore" Island the largest,
has 400 acres, "Star" has 200, and
White" "Smutty Nose" duck, :"
malaga" 'Londoner' and two more
vary from fifty acres on down. cap
pledore" and ''Star' are in connection
by steam launch every thirty minutes,
and twice daily the Sam Adams" runs
around the large island, giving one a
rare shaking up from the open Atlantic.
THE Appledore" is the big hotel. on
Appledore, and 1.-The Oceanic" the
next in size, is on Star Island. On the
latter is also the remains of fort, and
there, too, are the ancient church and
parsonage dating back of the Revolu-
tion. On the highest point of Apple
dore is the cairn or great pile of rocks
said to have been left there by Captain
John Smith when he discovered this
group and named them after himself.
Later the name was changed to ''Isles
of Scholes," referring to the schools of
fish and not to any particular shallow
ness of the water.
The walks around and over Apple
dore" are very picturesque, winding,
as they do, over varying grades and
bringing into view islands, light houses,
fishing craft and the main land with the
intervening Atlantic. Pretty summer
houses attract the rambler when tired,
though many prefer to Chamber down
over the rugged rocks and seat them
selves so near the edge of old ocean as
to feel its very spray in their faces.
The interior of the island is of rolling
formation, largely rocks, but with a lib
eral amount of stunted tree-growth,
mossy clearing, and many wild flowers.
At one point of the same, the explorer
reaches the burial ground of the Laigh-
ton family. On the monument are
the names of the elder Laighton and his
wife and on the four headstones, in re-
lief, the words father" "mother,"
Cedric and "Celia." The latter, as
Is well known, was courted some fifty
five years ago b. a young graduate of
Harvard, and became the noted Cecilia
Thaxter,'' author and poet, who en-
balmed these islands in prose and verse.
And they were worth it, for where
better could one flee for a complete
change of air, scenery, food, thought,
and employment. Returning home l
close this with a modest tribute to
one whose full length portrait hangs in
the public library at Portsmouth, and
whose name is household world in the
homes of America.

CELIA THAXTER.

She lived, and loved, and wrote,
On the gray isles well out at sea-,
And from the sand peeps" tiny throat
Took inspiration, full and free;
When, from the waves, the sun arose,
And the long coast-lin came in view
In her small garden-close,
She brushed from her dear flowers the dew
Not much on "Appledore,"
Save hardy brush and rugged rock,
She welcomed then the oceans roar,
The changing skies, the breakers shock,
The golden rod, the tiny ferns,
The scanty flora OF these scenes,
The streaming light that, faithful, burns,
When naught the hidden danger screens.
She hung her rooms with spoils of arr,
The storm, the calm the fishing fleet,
Priscilla. " pure and true in heart"
And worldly maids with flying feet;
She passed from off the stage of life
But, while the isles of Shoals endure,
True mother. gentle bard, fond wife,
The memory of her songs is sure.
Yours very truly,
F. w. o.
