The unresting moon , the love-beloved ; The planets , and pale constellations ; The cloud-stars , where the soul , reproved , Dreams of immensity , and quivers ;
And . ever-changing clouds , that flee Before the wild wind ' s inspirations , Like oceans dark and gleaming rivers , And in tempestuous exhalations Work change eternal o ' er the earth and sea
As heaven upon the deep descendeth , God—or whate ' er that Spirit ' s name , Whose torch lit up the undying flame That lampeth in the eyes of space—Falls on the mind :
As light and wind Blend on the many-colour ' d ocean ' s face , So with our common thought that Spirit blendeth : As the sea shakes the earth With every billow ' s birth , The mind with all its strife Shatters the nerves of life ! - * W *

borne along rapidly on the strong current . If there were danger in the process , the men seemed insensible of it , for they screamed with laughter . They were in their holiday clothes , and coming across from the Virginia side , as I learned on their landing , for a merry-making , it being Christmas eve . There was a stirring excitement in the transit undeir such circumstances , which

Xhe sun had now set . Four or five of the negroes disembarked , and off f ~ d of
other two were about to pu ^ li r ' n ' s ^ icon d cftrjjo their comrades , when I asked metn if they \ y 0 iild''jgive"h > £ a passage across ? * Yes , mpss . a , * Wfls the really reply .
