O TURN again that gentle eye,

It seems with fondest love to glow,

And pleasant is a dream when I

Reality can never know.

But what could give that tender blus Buch likences to the world above, Unless the language stealing through

Were mirrored from the springs of love P

O turn again that gentle ayé,

A tear upon the lash may be, And O'twould be a heaven if I

Could fancy it were shed for me; And yet I would not have thee weep,

Or wako from those dear lips a sigh For all the pearls in Ocean deep,--- Then turn again that gentle eye.

I watched it as I should a star

.

Too beautiful for earth's endeavour, Its brightness blessed me from afar, And memory made it live for ever. Within my brain its glance shall roli -A darling spell o'er land and sea,. In mirth its light shall be my soul, In andaess it shall weep with me. -W. H. Rogers,

THE VOYAGE OF THE "JETTIE."

Two hundred winters' snowing, Two hundred summers' glowing,

Had passed on Bearcamp River;

And between its flood-tora shores,

Bped by sail or arged by oars, No keel had vexed it ever.

Alone the dead trees yielding

To the dull axe Time is wielding,

The aby mink and the otter,

And golden leaves and red,

By countless autumns shed,

Had floated down its water.

From the gray rooks of Cape Ann Came a skilled sea-faring man,

With his dory, to the right place; Over hill and plain he brought her, Where the beatless Bearcamp water

Comes winding down from White-Face.

Quoth the skipper: "Ere she floata forth, I'm sure my pretty boat's worth,

At least, a name as pretty." On her painted side he wrote it, And the flag that o'er her floated

Bore aloft the name of "Jettie."

On a radiant morn of summer,

Elder guest and latest comer

Saw her wed the Bearoamp water;

Heard the naure the skipper gave her, And the answer to the favor

From the Bay State's graceful daughter.

Then a singer, richly gifted,

Her charmed voice uplifted

And the wood-thrush and song-spatzow Listened, dumb with envious pain, To the clear and sweet refrain,

Whose notos they could not borrow.

Then the skipper plied his car, And from off the shelving shore

Glided out the strange explorer Floating on, she knew not whither, The tawny sands beneath kor,

The blue sky bending o'er her,

Amid the tangling cumber. And pack of mountain lumber

That spring-foods downward force, Over sunken saag, and bar Where the grating shallowe are, The good boat held her course.

Under the pine-dark highlands, Around the vine-hung islands,

Bhe plowed her crooked furrow; And the rippling and the paddling Bent the river-perch skedaddling,

And the muskrat to his burrow.

Every sober elam below her,

Every sage and grave pearl-grower,

Shat his rusty valves the tighter; Crow called to crow, complaining, And old tortoises sat crazing

Their leather nooks to sight her.

On she glided, overladen With merry man and maiden

Sending back their song and laughter, While, perchanco, a phantom drew,

In a ghostly birch canoe,

Paddled dumb and swiftly after !

And the bear on Ossipee

Climbed the topmost orag to sea

The strange thing drifting under; And, through the base of Augustų Passaconaway and Paugus

Looked down in sleepy wonder,

All the pines that o'er her hung

In mimic ses-tones sung

The song familiar to her;

And the maples leaned to screen her

And the meadow-grass grew grèsner,

And the breeze more soft to woo her.

The lone stream, mystery-haunted,

To her the freedom granted To scan its every feature, Til new and old were blended,

And round them both extended The loving arms of Nature.

Of these hills the little vessel Henceforth is part and parcel;

And on Bearcamp shall her log By kept, as if by George's

Or Grand Mondp the surges

Tessed her skipper through the fog.

And I, who, half in kadness,

Recall the morning gladnesa Of life, at evening time,

By shance, onlooking idly, Apart from all so widely,

Have at her voyage to thyme,

les now the gar persistence Of song and laugh in dietanes; Alone with me remaining The stream, the quiet meadow, The hills in shine and shadow,

The sombre pinse complaining,

And masing bere, I dream Of voyagers on a stream

From whence is no returning, Under sealed orders going, Looking forward little knowing,

Looking back with idle yearning.

And I pray that every venture The port of peace may enter,

That safe from anag and shoal,

And siren haunted islet,

And rock, the Unser Pilot

May guide them to their goal,
