The maid 'neath the pale moonbeams

(Don't mind if accents are wrong); they part!

In (excellent rhyme) her dreams

The joy of that passionate farewell kiss

To the silent tomb she bore.

(I could easily write you a mile of this,

But you probably want no more.)


"La Fin du Sea-Aigle(!!)."—The Standard informs us that—

"A specimen of the white-tailed, or sea eagle, has just been shot at Bude Haven, Cornwall. The bird weighed nearly eight pounds, and the extended wings measure between seven and eight feet from tip to tip."
