POETRY. 5 The Happiest Laud. 1 TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN, BY H. W I LONGEELLOW. There sat one day in quiet, By an alehouse on the Rhine, Four hale and hearty fellows, And drank the precious wine. The landlord's daughter tilled their cups, Around the rustic board ; Then sat they all so calm and still, And spoke not one rude word. But when the mniil Hennrteil. A Swabian raised his hand, And cried, all hot and Hushed with wine, "Long live the Swabian land! " The greatest kingdom upon earth Cannot with that compare; With all the stout and hearty men, And the nut-brown maidens there." "Hal" cried the Saxon, laughing"? And dashing his beard with wine, "I had rather live in I upland, Than that Swabian land of thine! " The goodliest land on all the earth, It is the Saxon land ! There have I as many maidens As lingers on this hand ! "Hold your tongue 1 both Swabian and Saxon," A bold Bohemian cries; "If there's a heaven upon the earth, In Bohemia it lies. There the tailor blows the flute, And the cobbler blows the horn, And the miner blows the bugle, Over mountain gorge and bourn." * * * * * Ant then the landlord's daughter Up to heaven raised her hand, And said, "You may no more contend, There lies the happiest land." A Lay of Love. I1Y 9EORGF. D. PRENTICE. Yet onee again I've seen thee, And my every thought is thine, Ay, I kneel to thee in worship As to an idol shrine. In my spirit's silent chambers, Where hope may never be. One lonely light is burning? Tis a holy love of thee. I sec thee?oh, 1 sec thee In the shadows on the river, I see thee in the moon's sweet beams, That on the bright lake quiver; I see the in thee mists that move Like spectres o'er the streams, And at midnight deep I sec thee In the Bhadowy world of dreams. I sec thee?oli, I see thee In the gentle (lowers of spring, And in the tint the rainbow wears Upon its fleeting wing. I see thee in the sunset hues That gush along the west, And I see thee in the dew-drop That gem's the rose's breast. I hear thee?oh, 1 hear thee In the murmuring of the waves And in the soft and twilight gush Of fountains from their eaves; * I hear thy voice's music In each sound that wanders bv? In the cadence of the night bird, And the wind's mysterious sigh. , I hear thee?oh, I hear thee In the chimes of evening bells, And in the tone that o'er the deep < At solemn twilight swells; < I hear thee in theforrest lyres , Swept by the breath of even, And in the low, deep spirit voice That tells the soul of Heaven. I love thee?oh, I love thee? There's nnught in the bright blue skies, No lovely thing on earth but brings Thy sweet form to my eyes; I love thee, and there's not a sound, A tone to my spirit dear, A breath from Nature's lip, but gives Thy voice to my ravished ear. I love thee?oh, I love thee? Thou art in the darkest hour To my soul, a star, a fount, a bird, A music-box, a flower! I love thee, and the dear thought thrills Each fibre of my frame, like heaven's own lightning, and my heart In each throb calls thy name. I love thee?oh, I love thee, And I would these words were borne To thee on every holy breozc Of eventide and morn; I love thee, and I would those words VV nPo liri?i Hon AH tlw. ab?. v,.. o?jr, And on each star and flower nnd leaf ( Thut greet thy gentle eye.

(at'lllH Of TllOll^llt. A good action is its own reward. It is better to suffer wrong than to do it. Goodness thinks no ill where no ill seems. Truth, like roses, have thorns about them.
