THE PIMPERNEL. 



E. W. MASON. 



With the rising sun it opens — 

 Sweet herald of the matin time! 



On the sea strand, softly spangled, 

 With the fragrant dew of clime. 



It whispers low to the ocean, 



When its hushed blue waters shine, 



And laughs at the gray gulls wheeling, 

 And the pranks of the playful brine. 



But ah! should the heavens darken, 

 With the presage of coming rain, 



It closes its cup of scarlet 



Till the skies have cleared again. 



A flower like this with blossoms, 

 Love unfolds in the human heart, 



As sweetly fair, and as timid, 

 When sunlight and warmth depart. 



WHAT SPAIN LACKS. 



They say Spain's schools are few and poor, 



and so 

 It isn't strange in war she's very slow: 

 She lacks our teachers, wise, profound, 



acute, 

 To teach her young ideas how to shoot.
