| Obedient to natures laws.
! The age of miracles is past;
matter for regret, because
| The tale of Mael holds a suggestion
For settling the eternal Irish Question
| If that great man could come again
And navigate his magic trough,
II he could tie good stout chain
To Erins isle and tow it off
! So far that it would float back never
The, Irish Question would be solved forever.

AN APPLE TREE IN SPRINGTIHE.
[From The English Magazine".l
Against sky of turquoise blue
The apple tree in fairest hue
Stands forth in lovely bridal gown,
With dew-wet eye and blossom-crown-
The perfume of her fragrant hair
Floats on the pleasant springtime air;
The grass grows soft beneath her feet,
Around her dark brown slippers neat
The breeze pours secrets in her ear,
And every leaf bends near to hear.
All things beautiful on earth
Give her their sadness and their mirth
Their joys and sorrows all in one,
Their dark gray shadows and their sun.
