questions by no means touched him so near

the officers Cracrof t and Burton, who trusted
him so fully with their confidence. He was

could claim towas the negative merit of not

Holmes saw dimly the drift of this, and

To My log.
We've wandered oft bywooded streams
'Heath leafy arches bending low,
'Where scarce the penetrating gleams
Of summer suns could cast teir glow;.
We've lain beneath the pleasant shade
Of nodding trees on hill -sides green,
Where breezes from the yalleysplayed
And waving flowers graced the scone:
Together we have climbed the rocks
And traversed oft the boundless plain,
:Midst daisies wild and yellow flux,
Through etubbles strewn. with ripened
grain.
We've sought the covert where the quail
Affrighted rise upon the wing ;
We've heard the ow]et's mournful wail
And marked the rabbit's sudden spring.
We've shared our dinner in the wood,
We've camped beside the river bank,
And by the cooling stream we've stood
And thanked our Maker while we drank.
Let others, faithless, turn away
Before I've reached my journey's end,
Rut through thy life thou'it ever stay
Beaide me still, my faithful friend.
Thou'rt dreaming now before thefire
Of joys and sorrows we have known.
Oh, muses sweet, my pen inspire
To call them back, 'though past and gone,
And may my reverie keep alive
Those forms and colors still the same
While memories dear again revive
To cluster 'round thy sacred mame.

Heartsease.
I found a faded Pansy on the page
Of an old book, long lost, one winter day;
Its velvet heart was dim with dust and age;
The beautyof its tints had passed away.
Why did my eyes gaze through a mist of
tears
Which dropped on that dead flower in ten-
der rain ?
Because unbidden from the vanished years
Old hopes, old dreams, old joys came back
again.
Faded away my quiet fireside nook,
And, on the wings of Memory swiftly. borne,
I stood 'mid purple pansies by a brook
That sang and sparkled in the summer morn,
Rough winds, no longer shook the dripping
trees
Whose leafless branches smote my lattice -
pane:
I heard instead the drowsy hum of bees
Among the roses in a winding lane.
Tune's mellow sunshine lay on all the land ;
I saw the sterr" eyes of daisies shine ;
And from the fingers of a clasping hand
Thie purple Pansy found its way to mine.
Ab. tae 1 To think of all the lonely tears
My eyes have wept since that blue summer
day
When, flushed with trembling hopes and
girlish fears,
In this old book I hid rny bower away.
