long, and the middles thrown out with a
sweep 17 inches wide. One furrow to a

Fair Helen.
Deep-set and darkly glowing eyes
Look out from Helen's youthful face,
A challenge to the cruel skies:
Half-orphaned by the Destinies,
That heart of fire, that girl of grace.
She stands on morning's shining brink
And wists not what the day may bring
Thirsting for life, her pulses drink
The promise of the hours which link
The past unto her flowering spring.
She fears not all the storms that throng
She laughs when lightning cuts th<
cloud;
Strong in herself, in nature 9trong,
She feels her energies belong
To storms, as they as wildly proud.
Less of the maiden than of fire:
Less of the woman than of wind ;
Her thoughts in brilliant jets expire,
Or over sea and clond aspire,
Mount, fly, and leave the world behind.
In her is nothing meek and frail,
She come upon us as when June
Sends o'er uslrfm* health-giving gale, .
Freshening the heart, while all the vale
Fergets the languor of its moon.
