"Fly on wings, like the wings of a dove;
Changed to a dove, with her wings of
white!
Leaving him, faint with the longing of love,
Unable to follow her flight."

"BELL
from the North hath journey'd hither,
She brings the scent of heather with her,
To show in what sweet glens she grew,—
Where'er she trips in any weather,
She steps as if she trod on heather,
And leaves a sense like dropping dew.
ROBERT BUCHANAN. |

"Even the fourth-rate work
of a master has always some suggestion of the masterly about it,
which is beneficial to those not yet trained to appreciate other
than fourth-rate work. I rejoice when men of genius like Alexander
Smith, or George MacDonald, become Occasional Easy-writers, and do
an "On," "About," or "Concerning." Their pot-boilers may not
always be "first chop," to use a vulgar expression; but be
sure if they do three of them, one will be a work of merit—"

"I kneel to my father for his grace,
Right lowly on my knee;
But I stand and look the king in the face,
For the skipper is king o' me." |
She turned and she sprang upo' the deck,
And the cable splashed in the sea.
The good ship spread her wings sae white,
And away with the skipper goes she. |
