A~Spring Halla?!. A gush of golden sunlight, A muBic mid the leaves Of early bloom, whose joyous tune, I Into tho spirit weaves Dreams of delight and welcome bli?? For wealth l'a not forego. Sweet blooms and light, crowd on my sight,"j By these the spring I know. Thc frozen mould, silent and cold, Touched by a secret hand, Grows wondrous rife, till bloom and life. Crowns all the pleasant land; Sweet breezes murmur pleasantly. The ice-bound waters How; And voung buds leap from their wintry steep, By these the spring I know. i rove thc thicket and the grove, I breathe the balmy air, Euch sound seems fraught with gentlest love. New life holds cbnqueat there; I listen! Through the forest leave? Sweet voices como and go, The voice of twittering choristers - By theso the spring I know. I've wreathed a fragrant chaplet, A chaplet wild, yet fair, 'Twas nurtured in the mountain wilds, And nursed by wintry air; Primroses and violets sparkle in't, The daisy peeps below; And leaves of green push out bet ween By these thc spring I know. Low flitting clouds of wintry gloom Have rolled in shade away Light comes on wings of choice perfume To charm the sweet spring day; I reach the summit of the plain, Fresh breezes round me blow, So sweet, that there I'd rove again By this the spring I know. Spring-time, thou hast a charm for me, I've loved thee well and long, And thns I humbly weave to thee A glad and grateful song. When on the strangely pondering soul Comes thy congenial glow, My heart leaps light with ecstacy By this the spring 1 know. THE ICEBERG. [CONTINUED. 1 "Well, I wrote and told the lady al about it, and she sent for her and tin baby, and called her 'Mrs. Sands. ' "Esther wouldn't give me back tin letter with that in it, though it wa written for me; but I didn't care sc long as she was happy. '? took her down there, and all tin way down she did nothing but cr and talk about Sands. I took her t< the owner's house, and she saw th? lady and the boy, and I left her there and went another voyage-not North though, you may guess I'd ha? enough of ice for some time. I ha< money enough to stop ashore, but never felt quite easy about it; so settled some of the money upon mo ther, and the rest upon Esther, with out lier knowing it, and went off. "I got a letter from-the owner' son, I suppose I ought to call hit now, instead of 'the boy,' seeing h waa quite the gentleman in the count ing-house now. "It's here in the pocket of thi book. " He took the letter, old, crossed an yellow, from the pocket, handed : me, and with his leave I copied : afterwards. It ran thus: GLASGOW, - st., Aug. -, 18-. DEAE BEN: I told you I'd writ soon, so I'm now going to fulfill m promise. I'm in the counting-hous -got the drudgery to go througt Governor says that no boy's fit fe anything as a clerk till he's done th lowest work of the office. You an he think alike; I recollect tarring dow that back-stay by your orders now. don't get much pocket-money, sti enough, you know, Ben; and Aur Nelly has given me a couple of pi tols. I can hit a card six times ov of ten-at twenty paces. I hf ven't got much more to sa;; My neck has got all right, except scar; and there's a scar on the le leg, where I hit it that day I fell o the blocks. That puts me in mind of Mr Sands. I say, Ben, was she Mr Sands, after all? You know what mean. "The boy," as you used i call me, is quite out of mother's goo books, and Mrs. Sauds', too, beeaus he won't tell for the ten thousandt time the story of being on the ici I've had to tell so many people, I'J sick of it, and mother wants me 1 'tell it over and over again; and as fe Mrs. Sands, she's always both erin me to know how he died. I like Sands well enough, yon know, but didn't see him die, and was stupi after I saw the sail, so I could tell hi very little. She's marked in hi prayer-book the prayer the doct< read over him when he was buried. Everybody says you're next door 1 a fool for going to sea again ; but suppose you know best. Mrs. San< is, after all, a nice woman, and mi ther takes to her uncommonly-trea her more like a daughter than a se vant; and she's more like one, to I know many girls that ain't half ? ladylike as she is, spite of their silk I've got my clothes under her, and haven't had a button off for week I used always to go about with a I of string or cotton somewhere for button. I say, Ben, if you were stick up to her, she'd have you, know. I saw ber cry over your lr. letter in her room. "I'd mentioned Sands in it," sn Ben, by way of explanation. She's only a widow, after ill; ai any one might be proud of that you Sands, he's such a jolly little chap as strong as possible; we're qu friends. He seems to like me, a Mrs. Sands is never happier th when I'm nursing him. She says I been near him, and he would ht nursed him. She means Sands. Good-bye, old fellow. Thanks feeding me with a bone spoon. ? ther keeps it in her pocket, I thii If you want a friend, Ben, or mon or anything, you know where to fi ml your* own "boy." Ile ain't a boy now, though. Your own, FRED. TRELAWNEY. "I had one or two more letters that voyage, but nothing in thom that's about my story. He used to write about himself; boys mostly do, I think. Sometimes he mentioned Esther; not often much about her just said she was well, sent her love, or something of that kind. "I was gone about a twelvemonth; and, of course, when I got back. I went to see them at Glasgow. "The owner's wife, she shook my hand, and Esther kissed me as cool as could be, just as if I'd been her brother, while I could have held her and never let her go, if I'd not been careful of myself. She was going away from there to take care of the old people at home, so we Avent toge? ther; and all the time she talked of Sands, till I was nigh sick of it; still I didn't show it, because 1 liked to hear her talk; she'd got a pleasant way with her that made you feel happy, no matter what she said; and you never would have made her see j that Sands wasn't the pleasantest I subject to talk to me about. "We got home-I lived with mo- j j ther, and she with the old folks. 11 ? got a berth at a ship-yard, as foremau I ? rigger, and I didn't care to go to sea j j again. "I went to seo her every day, and i nursed the youngster; he soon got to I know me, and called me "Pa." She I didn't mind a bit-rather liked it, I ; think. "One day, after I'd been at home j about six months, mother says to me : " 'Ben, you might as well go and ask Esther to live with you; you I spend so much of your time there i that people talk about it. ' " 'I wish to God,' says I-quite red, I know I was-'that people wonid mind their own concerns. ' " 'Ah, well!' says she, 'they won t, and never will.' "That evening, I went down to Esther, and I said to her : " 'Esther, I can't five like this much longer-Esther, I'm getting ill, and the river looks too pleasant in the moonlight to make me feel safe. I shall do something desperate; I'm not quite my own master at times. Esther, I want you to be my wife. ' " 'I couldn't make you happy if I was, Ben-I can uever forget poor John.' " 'Esther,' says I, 'if you'll marry me, I shall be happier than I am now. I want a companion, and I'm always up here after youfand people talk about it-not men, you know, ' says I, 'for I'd soon find a way to stop their mouths.' (Ben's clenched fist cer? tainly looked at this moment a very effectual remedy for a fast tongue in an unwise head.) 'But it's the wo? men, Esther, and I can't stop them saying what they like. They're so j kind always to one of their own sex, i too, that's had a misfortune. ' ' " 'So they talk, do they, Ben?' j " 'Yes, they do; and it's better, I unless I'm to goto sea, or away again, that we should be married. ' " 'Ben,' says she, 'it isn't every man that would make that offer to a woman like me, with no good name .and a baby.' " 'I do, though, Esther.' [CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT.") H. E.
