That I am helpless in its grasp, content To drift alonij. At first I know not ’twas Love’s sea I had Set sail upon, So, happy, floated on, with half-closed eyes, Through shade and sun; What heeded I which way I went, with him My boat to guide?— TYhat dangers had the unknown soa, if he IVas by my side? I woke to find myself in waters strange, No land in sight; All things seemed radiant, new. A mighty flood Of rare delight Swept o’er my startled soul; sho sky, the waves With glory shone, A# was revealed the rapturous thrill of lov«* Till then unknown. And now let shadows fall, let storms arise. On bis dear breast, Shielded and safe, I lie, while shelt’ring arm* Fold me to rest. Tho night may come, it bolds no dread for me; His tender kiss Soothe* all my fears,and fills my happy heart With perfect bliss. —Frank Leslie's.

The agile chatterers that were once within these soft jackets were shot last October in the Maine woods,and their furs were t mned and sent to me at the same time by an enthusiastic sportsman of my acquaintance. The preserved ordinary way in which these skins are in the country, is by merely tackiny them upon a good broad shingle, sprinkling# little salt over them and then setting asi* T a week to dry. For almost a year have these furs been upon my wa\ soft, pliant and dry condition, as tu,, should be. Last Tuesday, though, when the atmosphere was so excessively sat uted over the sui face.
