When, wilder'd, he drops from some cliff huge in Furnishing story for glory's bright annal,

With one faithful friend but to witness thy dying, No more shalt thou grieve me, no more shalt thou

The moon looks through the drifting storm,
But the troubled lake reflects not her form,
For the waves roll whitening to the land,
And dash against the shelvy strand.

There is a voice among the trees

That mingles with the groaning oak-
That mingles with the stormy breeze,

And the lake-waves dashing against the rock;
There is a voice within the wood,

The voice of the bard in fitful mood;

His song was louder than the blast,

As the bard of Glenmore through the forest past.

"Wake ye from your sleep of death,

Minstrels and bards of other days!
For the midnight wind is on the heath,
And the midnight meteors dimly blaze:
The spectre with his bloody hand,*
Is wandering through the wild woodland;
The owl and the raven are mute for dread,
And the time is meet to awake the dead!

"Souls of the mighty, wake and say,

To what high strain your harps were strung,
When Lochlin plough'd her billowy way,

And on your shores her Norsemen flung?
Her Norsemen train'd to spoil and blood,
Skill'd to prepare the raven's food,
All by your harpings doom'd to die
On bloody Largs and Loncarty.t

"Mute are ye all: No murmurs strange
Upon the midnight breeze sail by;

Nor through the pines with whistling change,
Mimic the harp's wild harmony!
Mute are ye now ?-Ye ne'er were mute,
When Murder with his bloody foot,
And Rapine with his iron hand,
Were hovering near yon mountain strand.

"O yet awake the strain to tell,

By every deed in song enroll'd,
By every chief who fought or fell,

For Albion's weal in battle bold;-
From Coilgach, first who rolled his car,
Through the deep ranks of Roman war,
To him, of veteran memory dear,
Who victor died on Aboukir.

"By all their swords, by all their scars,
By all their names, a mighty spell!
By all their wounds, by all their wars,
Arise, the mighty strain to tell!
Fiercer than fierce Hengist's strain,
More impious than the heathen Dane,
More grasping than all-grasping Rome,
Gaul's ravening legions hither come !"-
The wind is hush'd, and still the lake-
Strange murmurs fill my tingling ears,
Bristles my hair, my sinews quake,

At the dread voice of other years

"When targets clash'd, and bugles rung,
And blades round warriors' heads were flung,
The foremost of the band were we,

And hymn'd the joys of Liberty !"

ROMANCE OF DUNOIS.
FROM THE FRENCH.

THE original of this little romance makes part of a manuscript collection of French songs, probably compiled by some young officer, which was found on the field of Waterloo, so much stained with clay and blood, as sufficiently to indicate The what had been the fate of its late owner. song is popular in France, and is rather a good specimen of the style of composition to which it be longs. The translation is strictly literal.

Ir was Dunois, the young and brave,
Was bound for Palestine,

But first he made his orison

Before Saint Mary's shrine:

"And grant, immortal queen of heaven,"
Was still the soldier's prayer,
"That I may prove the bravest knight,
And love the fairest fair."

His oath of honour on the shrine

He graved it with his sword,
And follow'd to the Holy Land
The banner of his lord;
Where, faithful to his noble vow,
His war-cry fill'd the air,
"Be honour'd aye the bravest knight,
Beloved the fairest fair."

They owed the conquest to his arm,
And then his liege lord said,
"The heart that has for honour beat,
By bliss must be repaid ;--
My daughter Isabel and thou
Shall be a wedded pair,
For thou art bravest of the brave,
She fairest of the fair."

And then they bound the holy knot
Before Saint Mary's shrine,
That makes a paradise on earth,
If hearts and hands combine:
And every lord and lady bright

That were in chapel there,
Cried, "Honour'd be the bravest knight,
Beloved the fairest fair!"

THE TROUBADOUR.

GLOWING with love, on fire for fame,

A Troubadour that hated sorrow,

Beneath his lady's window came,
And thus he sung his last good morrow:

Composed on the occasion of the royal visit to Scot- Frith of Forth, and will be covered with thousands, anx

THE PATHWAYS AND ABIDING
PLACES OF OUR LORD.

Illustrated in the Journal of a Tour through the Land of Promise. Twenty Engravings on Steel. Quarto. Cloth, $4; gilt sides and edges, 85; morocco, bevelled, $7 50.

"This work, as its title indicates, contains the narrative of a tour through the Holy Land with a special reference to all those places whose names have been rendered familiar and dear to the Christian by our blessed Lord's connection with them during the period of His incarnation. Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethany, the Mount of Olives, the Sea of Galilee, and many other places of like interest, have been fully described. Correct views, too, of many of the most prominent scenes in Palestine, from the pencil of Bartlett, engraved on steel in the highest style of art, have been introduced. These, with the minute explanations accompanying them, present to the reader of this volume as perfect a picture of the actual appearance of Palestine as can well be obtained without a personal visit. Interspersed, too, throughout the Journal are obser vations upon the past history, the present condition, and the physical characteristics, of the land of the Bible, which will be found not only to assist materially in understanding many parts of the Sacred Volume, but also to add interest to its perusal. A volume which thus offers to take the reader upon a walk through the Pathways and to visit the Abiding Places of our Lord, appears not unseasonably at a time when the whole world is preparing to celebrate the anniver sary of His Nativity."
