Excerpt: . . . we not from the earth drawn juices Too fine for earths sordid uses Have I heard, have I seen All I feel and I know Doth my heart overween Or could it have been Long ago Sometimes a breath floats by me, An odor from Dreamland sent, That makes the ghost seem nigh me Of a splendor that came and went, Of a life lived somewhere, I know not In what diviner sphere, Of memories that stay not and go not, Like music heard once by an ear That cannot forget or reclaim it, A something so shy, it would shame it To make it a show, A something too vague, could I name it, For others to know, As if I had lived it or dreamed it, As if I had acted or schemed it, Long ago! And yet, could I live it over, This life that stirs in my brain, Could I be both maiden and lover, Moon and tide, bee and clover, As I seem to have been, once again, Could I but speak and show it, This pleasure more sharp than pain, That bafiles and lures me so, The world should not lack a poet, Such as it had In the ages glad, Long ago! J. R. LOWELL. THE tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; Along the sea-sands damp and brown The traveller hastens toward the town, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Darkness settles on roofs and walls, But the sea in the darkness calls and calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls. The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls; The day returns, but nevermore Returns the traveller to the shore, And the tide rises, the tide falls. H. W. LONGFELLOW. FOR a cap and bells our lives we pay, Bubbles we buy with a whole souls tasking; Tis heaven alone that is given away, Tis only. . .

Excerpt: . . . yourself aside from all the approaches and allurements of incontinency; for this evil works insensibly, and, from small beginnings, advances to great results, which are always more easily avoided than cured. Human bodies are like glasses, which cannot be carried together, touching one another, without running the risk of being broken, or like fruits, which, though ever so sound and seasonable, yet by touching one another are impaired. Water itself, in a vessel, be it ever so fresh, being once touched by any beast of the earth, cannot long retain its freshness. Never suffer any one, Philothea, to touchyoufamiliarly, either in the way of sport, or in the way of love; for though perhaps chastity may be preserved in those actions rather light than lewd, yet the freshness and flower of chastity always receives some detriment and loss; but to suffer yourself to be touched immodestly is the utter ruin of chastity. The source of chastity is the heart, and the body is its subject; and therefore it may be lost either by the exterior senses of the body, or the interior thoughts and desires of the heart. It is impurity to behold, to hear, to speak, to smell, or touch any thing immodest, the heart entertaining itself, and taking pleasure in it. St. Paul says positively, let not fornication be so much as once named amongst you. The bees not only have an aversion to carrion, but avoid and hate extremely all sorts of stench which proceed from it. The sacred spouse in the Canticles1 has her hands distilling myrrh, which is the 1 Cant. v. 5, iv. 3, iv. I, i. 10, vii. 4. antidote against corruption; her lips are bound with a scarlet ribbon, the mark of her modesty in her words; she has the eyes of a dove, to signify their cleanliness; her ears have gold. . .
