WOULD WE WERE THERE.

Would we were there on that green-clad
knoll,
Whence We two saw the landscape roll
In earthern pillows far away,
Whence we saw distant forests sway
Beneath winds insurgent whirl
But which scarce stirred the truant curl
On your fair forehead; that sweet tress
The toughest winds dared scarce caress!
Would we were there whence we could
The wealth of valley. hill, and tree;
The stream, and hear its angry call
Where, tortured by the waterfall,
1t sprarg in fury! and then flowed
Complaining down it's rocky road;
Would we were sitting where to-day
The winds and unleashed torrents play!
Would that we were! OF late I've dreamed
OF those old days, and it has seemed
That have sat-you by my side
Where at our feet the valley wide
Rolled down beneath the heavens blue;
And have dreamed, that ev'ry hue
That then did glad our eyes was there.
Each charm of landscape sky and air!
Would we again were on that knoll
In sweet communion. soul to soul;
Where spoken language was as naught;
Where thought swift answered unto
thought,
And lips were mute, and for the time
The scene lacked naught of the sublime!
Wood vale and hill. and cloud-iecked
skies
Held some Of the glory from your eyes!
But wishes wipe no miles away:
Dreams never bring back yesterday;
Or, if they do, in phantom guise
Intangible-I'd see your eyes
Sweet purity look up to mine
Soul windows!-I would see them shine
AS they did then! your truant hair
Wind-blown and free! Would we were
there!

Standing close together with that short
rostrum under their feet, they faced
about the ring of horsemen who drew
up around them. The perforated tin

on trampled grass. Behind the mems

trees and the starlit sky, and the ex-

lowered in the midst of the circle.
He could dimly see the Spanish girl,
and he remembered for one instant
how Antywine lay exhausted within
the cabin. She was looking for the
last time at what was to have been

of grief worse than her terror of the
ruffians, what had become of the
gentle housemate who had never be-

fortunately Mahala Cameron's father
now lifted his voice from the back
ground, and in the character of min
lister exhorted Redmond Clary to draw
his followers homeward and cease
abetting the ungodly. Redmond Clary
turned on him and told him to go home
himself, OF he might be neatly laid be-
side his daddy in the Concord burying-
ground.
One word had swiftly followed
another while Lincoln gagged the force
drawn around him. His hair was
rumpled over the arch of his head.
His strong nose and clean-cut neck and
the outward curving Of his lips showed
by fitful light above his shorter COM
panions. Some radiation from his
personality made one of the men ex-
claim:
ABE, we know you're honest. But
IL you're too stubborn to hand over

Redmond Clary flung himself off
his horse and ran at his accuser. The
time for words was past. II the figure
towering above them all had stood
with less assurance, the raging leader
might have led his mob to cruel
murder. But Lincoln's humorous eye
spread a contagion of smiles as he
caught the bull-bodied champion of the
Grove by the collar and flung that mus
cular bulk across the ring to cool.
There was to be a fight. The men
drew deep inhalations of enjoyment.

to see him matched with Red Clary.
