 To one another 
 I licar men sa}- — 
 
 Alas ! my Brother, 
 lis winds blow bitter, 
 
 Our Christmas suns 
 No longer glitter 
 
 As former ones !— 
 If this be so, 
 
 Then let us borrow 
 From long ago 
 
 Surcease of sorrow ; 
 Let dead Yules lend 
 
 Their bright reflections 
 Let fond friends blend 
 
 Their recollections — 
 Let Love revive 
 
 Joy's ashen embers, 
 For Love is Life 
 
 Since Love remembers.

OWN the St. Lawrence winter storms begin, 
 
 Deep, deep the snows and hard the frost sets in ; 
 
 The smaller streamlets first to cease to flow. 
 
 And often buried in the drifting snow. 
 
 The "habitant" with capote snug and warm, 
 
 Drives his rude sleigh and battles with the storm ; 
 
 His smart, small palfreys gallop gaily by 
 
 The well-filled barns that near the road may lie ; 
 
 He pours his patois French in ditties gay, 
 
 And love or war beguiles the whitened wa\'. 
 
 -J. K. us Toy. 
 
 ND here a mighty people shall arise, 
 A people nurtured in full liberty ; 
 Yet, not forgetful of the Mother land 
 Who scans with kindly eye her child's career. 
 
 Wafting a blessing o'er the mighty sea. 
 
 • ••..••• 
 Such may thy future be — not great and lone 
 In never-sated commerce — rather great 
 In all that welds a people heart to heart ; 
 Among thy sons may many a leader spring, 
 By whom the ship of state well i)iloted. 
 Thy haven of wide Empire thou may'st reach, — 
 An empire stretcliing from the western wave 
 To where the rosy dawn cnilanies the seas, -

O improve the world we live in, 
 I Folded arms will never do ;

 Wrongs himself and Heaven loo.

 Never faileth Heaven to smile on 
 All who thus its advent aid.

 ESPER appears wlu^n f!i)\ving gales 
 Have filled the sunset's fervid sails, 
 
 When down the low, dim orient hills 
 The purple gloaming soft distils 
 To nestle in the crooning vales. 
 
 To fretted hearts whom want assails. 
 Whom }outh, nor hope, nor love avails 
 
 To loose their wear\ing load of ills, 
 
 Hesper appears.

MOTHER England, you would scarce believe 
 The things we do aiid say for love of you I 
 The sprig of holly that we kiss and kiss, 
 And deck our Christinas table with — three leaves, 
 Two berries, and a plentitude of stem — • 
 Is far the dearer portion of the feast. 
 A pot of wallflower or a primrose root, 
 A linnet or a lark within a cage, — 
 Iluw carefully we cherish them, and seem 
 To see through them the dear and distant land, 
 The ancient churches and the ivied lanes. 
 The baby bridges and the tiny streams, 
 The crowded gables and the diamond panes, 
 Arthur's Tintagel, Shakspere's native strand ! 
 
 ~S£IiAJVUS, 
 
 OLFK and Montcalm ! two nobler names ne'er 
 graced 
 The page of history or the hostile plain ; 
 No braver souls the storm of battle faced. 
 Regardless of the danger or the pain. 
 They passed into their rest without a stain 
 Upon their nature or tlicir generous hearts; 
 One graceful column to the noble twain 
 Speaks of a nation's gratitude, and starts 
 The tear that valour claims and feeling's self 
 imparts.

HOrCiIT otlior skies may be as bright, 
 
 And oilier lands as fair ; 
 Though charms of otlicr chmcs invite 
 
 My wandering footsteps there, 
 Yet there is one, the peer of all, 
 
 Beneath bright heaven's dome: 
 Of thee I sing, O happy land, 
 
 My own Canadian home. 
 
 A noble heritage is ours, 
 
 So grand and fair and free ; 
 A fertile land, where he who toils 
 
 Shall well rewarded be, 
 And he who joys in nature's charms, 
 
 Exulting, here may view 
 Scenes of enchantment, strangely fair, 
 
 Sublime in form and hue. 
 
 Did kindly heaven afford to me 
 
 The choice where I would dwell, 
 Fair Canada that choice should be-- 
 
 The land I love so well. 
 I love thy hills and valleys wide. 
 
 Thy waters' flash and foam ; 
 May God in love o'er thee preside, 
 
 My own Canadian home !

 Touched louvre and cathedral spire;

 H ! dear is the northern forest home, 
 
 Where the great pine shoots on high ; 
 And the maple spreads its soft, green leaves, 
 
 In the clear, blue, taintless sky. 
 Though the summer mantle paleth fast 
 
 Into winter's virgin veil, 
 There is health in the fierce, quick lightning blast, 
 
 And strength in the icy gale ; 
 And life glides on in a quiet calm. 
 
 Like our own great river's flow ; 
 And dear to the hearts of her children all 
 
 Is our own Fair Land of Snow.

PON the deep tide of my tenderness, 
 As in a dream I feel your spirit drift ; 
 The little waves pulse eagerly, and swift 
 From heaven falls the wind's divine caress; 
 Anear the brink a white and wavering press 
 Of water lilies, like shy thoughts, uplift 
 Their glances to the sky. Above a rift 
 Of clouds the stars their answering thought confess. 
 
 Ah, love ! the tide flows deep, the tide flows deep ! 
 The petty storms that trouble shallow streams 
 Cannot come nigh us while the lilies keep 
 Their gaze upon the sky, and answering gleams 
 Of countless starry eyes attend your sleep. 
 Sweet rest be yours, dear love, and blessed dreams '

SONG begun— begun, but never ended; 
 
 A rose-tree that has never borne a rose; 
 A love that with no other love lias blended ; 
 A story with beginning but no close ; 
 
 A life half lived, its duties half completed ; 
 
 A soul tliat never joined with oilier soul ; 
 An army, tire it ever fought, defeated ; 
 
 A racer started that ne'er reached the gual ; 
 
 A picture merely sketched but never painted ; 
 
 A sky from which the sunlight all has ile<l; 
 The lint of purity grown soiled and tainted ; 
 
 A hope half uttered, and so, wholly dead ! 
 
 Had fate been kinder, then the song were finished, 
 The picture painted, and the story told. 
 
 And love through want of love had ne'er diminished, 
 Nor hope had vanished, growing dead and cold. 
 
 So runs the tale, the pitiful, sad story, 
 
 So sad, so freipieiit -then why try at all ? 
 
 So dimly shaded lies the road to glory. 
 
 Why make endeavour that will likely fall ? 
 
 Glory is dross 1 The nobler aim is duly. 
 This freely do thou ; forego the rest I 
 The honest purpose makes the truest beauty — 
 What matter if thou fail? Do but thy best !

 Nay! for our young Canadian land

 It stretches wide on either hand 
 
 Between the world's two mighty seas !

 Spreads our Canadian fath . 'and !

NAMED her name in the silent wood, 
 
 And my thoughts swift back to her flew; 
 For I'd left my love in the distant town, 
 And longed to look on the trail of her gown 
 A-sweep o'er the light morning dew. 
 
 I could see but a glint of the sky, 
 
 Through the veil of the trees above ; 
 Yet 1 wanted no chart or beacon's ray, 
 To brighten my path or show me my way, 
 But the eyes of my Ros'lind love. 
 
 So until I found the lost irack 
 
 That led from the place where I stood, 
 1 painfully carved her dear name on the bark 
 Of ev'ry tree round, from noontide till dark, — 
 Then cursed the black flies in the wood.

 While the birds returned and the hills grow green,— 
 Have you heard the first seen vessel's gun ?
