THE NORTHERN TRAIL.
Now. know the woods on the hin I, are standing
Bare and black on the deep and dTltted snow o.
While the icG-edgod rapids fret the rocky land
And the wind may cry and the stream flow On
Where l no more shall go.
Ont fr,n the citv's reek and flme and thunder
My heart goes back, woods OF the North to
To the chill gray days with the gun. and the wood
The voice of the hounds afar that the shot breaks
Now, the trail leads long. but for me no more
Through the Northland that knew.
Not as knew you in June. with shade and sing
Not thus on your ways the desire of my heart
But bleak and silent save for the bare boughs
And bound in dreams that the low sky hangs en-
That the wind runs through and the gray sun
And snow-whiris stir and fret.
The wild ducks splash and whirr from the marshy
Through the frozen thicket the grouse's piniOns
The buck slips past, and the hawk swings circIing
And high in the clouds the grea. gray eagles hover.
But hunt there no more!

gians are 'Keelies''; the Lancashire men are Tim
Bobbins": while the Lincolnshire folk have long
been called yellow Bellies" after the frogs which
once abounded there. Yorkshiremen, again, are
everywhere "Tykes," a nickname the etymology
of which is not easy to trace; is it less difficult
to say why the inhabitants of Suffolk should be
designated "Dumplings." those of Kent Hogs"
or the Isle OF Wight people Calves"
