J Must we frcvr seek some newer clime, Return wo cannot, may wo not doUy, Or anchor on the shoreless ecu o( time Ev'n for a day ? Lat year she not bel.lo mo on thin stone, And wlilnpcr'd we would look again on tliee; fee me, sweet Lake, but ask not why, alone, Nor where in she 1 toon wns thy murtnur 'nenth yon roky caves, The sullen cliff so ilidnt thou Idly beat,' While the llht foam that rippled off thy waves Fell on her feet. One eve, dt thou remember ? sllenee bore Such absolute sway that sound ha. I ceased to be, But for the measured eadouec of an oar Flashing on thee. Buddcn a sound, more sweet than mortal, broko The sleep of Echo lu her lonely cell; Abl how I treasured as the feireu tpokc Each word that fell ! Time, stay your speed, a little 6tay, To let us taste the Joys you briiitf; Do not each moment brush away Some pleasure with your wing. "Where sorrow pines, or labor delves, On, there iu mercy linger not, But leave the happy to themselves, Forgetting and forgot. "In vain, In vain! Time seems in scorn More rnpldly to urge his flight ; Sweet night, endure 1 And lo 1 the morn Already ehaseth night. "Oh, let us, then, lu mere despair Of holding lihu, with him press ou, And love the more Intensely, ere The Lour for love be gone." Too jealous Pow'r, must that enchanting enp From which the draught of love and plea-sure flow Tail, ah ! bo soon, and wilt thou ne'er dry up "The urn of woe ?

Thou past Eternity, thou dark abyss, The years by thrie engulfed, oh, where are they ? ' Give back, give back the youth, the boundiug bliss Born far away! Lov'd lake, mute rojks, grotto, and waving groves, You whom lime spares, or wastes but to renew, Eternal be the memory of our loves, At least with you 1 Keep It, dear lake ! both In thy calm and storm, In ev'ry varied aspect of thy shore; In these dark pines, in you rock's rugged form . That beetles o'er, Threat'nlug thy beauty; in the light warm gale That wreathes thee Into smiles, in ev'ry souud That Echo wafts o'er thee while mooubeams pale Hallow all rouud. Let the soft-sighing rose, the murm'rJng wind Breathing her name, the bird that flits above, All, all that through the senses wakes the mind, Record onr Love ! X.X2EXIATUXIX3. Ji J VIEW OF NEW BOOK 8. Rbminihoencks of Kbi.ix Mendklsnoiin Bar tholdy, by Elslo Polko. Translated from the German by Lady Wallace. Published by Ley- poldt & Holt, rniladeipniii Agents: (jluxlon, Kcmsen & llaffellluger. This work Is designed as a commentary on the letters of Mendelssohn, whicli have been given to the public within a few years past, and as a sketch of his life aud works in anticipation of a more, complete biography to bo prepared at a later period. Madame Polko writes with enthu-fciai-m, and while her sketch is lacking in the details of an elaborate biographical work, it rhows a thorough artistic appreciation of Men delssohn's genius. Her meeting with the com poser Is remembered as a. brilliant epoch in her life, and the personal reminiscences of him and his beautiful wife have a charm that might be lost iu a more . elaborate work. Besides her own re collections, Madame Polko has gathered her ma terials from the dearest friends of the musician, and she has verified her dates by the sketches of Wilhelm Lampadius, which appeared immedi ately after the death of Mendelssohn. The translation has been admirably executed by Lady Wallace, and the value of the work has beeu enhanced by several letters hitherto unpublished which have been added to those collected by Madame Polko. This book has beeu issued in handsome style by Leypoldt & Holt, to match their editions of Beethoven's, Mozart's, aud Mendelssohn's letters, etc., aud It will make an attractive addition to their library of musical literature, which now includes some nine or ten Toluinve. Pishing in American Waters. By Genlo C. tecott. Published by Harper & Brothers. Phi ladelphia Agents: Claxtou, Kemseu & Haffel finger. , . This work has been written con am ore hy a, thorough sportsman, aud it is none tho less valu able ou account of the familiar and entertalnlug stylo adopted. The author, Indeed, while apolo gizing for a lack of artistic finish, contends, Uiat his sketches are correct in all the essentials. For thoroughness of information about the fishes of American waters, their habits, appearance, and the most approved methods ol entrapping them, this work Is superior to any that has yet been given to the public. Part first treats coat and estuary fishing with rud aud Hue, and it gives some valuable hints about the general characteristics of fishing, aud full descriptions of the various kinds that afford the best sport to the angler. The second part is devoted to fresh water fishing with fly and bait; the third part to commercial fisheries; the fourth part to ancient aud modem fish cul ture; and In part fifth Is given "A Glimpse of Ichthyology." An appendix gives various items of value to sportsmen, including cookery adapted to the manners of tportsmen lu the wilderness aud ou the wave, American gauie laws, etc. The work Is Illuminated with one huirod und eevcntv wood-cuts of the uiost Important lishe described, the various kinds of flies and baits, and a few comical sketche s which suit the jovial spirit in which tho book is writteu. Mr. Kcott goes over a large area of ground, and as he evi dently understands his subject thoroughly in all lis details, his w ork will bo a valuable addition to the libraries of the disciples of Izuak Walton who jdy tho angle u our American waters. A full index is given, which will prove valuable to those using the work. From J. B. LippiucottA Co. we have received 'The Klile aud llouud lu Oylou,"bySlr Samuel W. Baker. The discoverer of the sources of Vo Nile Is not only an adventurous explorer but i. fascinating writer, and his books have a chanu which Is greater than that of the generality of fiction. Elephant shooting has always been cots ildered the sport of Ceylon, and descriptions of this branch of the chase have been frequently given. Other animals, however, afford opportu nitles for adventurous sportsmen to distinguish themselves ns well as tho elephant, and in this work Sir Er.rauel W. linker has endeavored to give an account of all tho Ceylon sports. Tho book is full of exciting Incidents, lu which tho author has recited merely the scenes in which ho participated, and he assures his readers that ho Las in no instance exaggerated, but that Lo bus rother diminished the coloring of his pictures. From Turner Brothers A, Co.. we have re ceived "Tho Ingham Papers," by Edward 10. Hale. Published by 1 i. lds, Ogood & Co. This is a series of sketches and short stories by tho" author of " The Man without a Country." They were, most of them, originally contributed to tho Atlantic Monthly, and they attracted tmfl'.cient attention to induce the author U cvlicct lh';m and give them to the public iu their present thape. The sketches i..o "A Memoir of CijU'it Frederic Ingham, ' "The Good-natured Pendu lum," "Paul Jones und Denis Duval," " Koimd tho World In a Hack," "Friends Meeting," "Did he take the Prince to Rider'' " How Mr. Fry. would have Preached it.," "The Hag Man and the Bug Woman," "Dinner Hpeak'uig," " Good So ciety" and "Daily Bread." The most intere-ting of the sketches is that of "Paul Jones and Deals Duval," in which Mr, Male attempt to complete Thackeray's novel so far as to give a description of the battle between the Bon Hommo Uichard and the Serapis, as It appeared from an English point of view. The same house sends us "That Boy of Nor cott's," Charles Lever's latest novel, which has just been completed in the Comhill Majatiiu) and Harper's Weekly. This is a characteristic work in Lever's latest style, and it is published by Harper & Brothers with all the origiaal illustrations. Messrs. Turner Brothers A, Co. also send us "From an Island," it delightful story by Miss Thackeray, published by Loring of Boston as one of his series of "Tales of the Day;" Ap pleton's Journal for Saturday, April 17, which contains the third instalment of Victor Hugo's remarkable romance entitled "Tho Man Who Laughs;" an4 Our Jloyn and Girls, Oliver Op tic's magazine, for haiio day, April 17. From T. Ellwood ell, Nos. 17 and 19 8. Sixth street, we have received the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth parts of "Zell's Popu lar Encyclopaedia and Universal Dictionary." The valuable character of this work Is more apparent as it advances, and we heartily eom mend it as one of cheapest aud best encyclo paedias published. The April number of The University shows an improvement over its predecessor, and it contains a number of articles which are well worthy of perusal. The contents are as follows: "A Memoir of Rev. William Smith," continued, by Charles J. Stille, LL. D.; "International Copyrights," by Hon. V. C. Brewster, M. A.;" "The Historic Order of Education," by Rev. K. E. Thomrson, M. A.; "What is Philology?" by J. G. K. McElroy, M. A.; "An Ingot of Hy drogen," by Henry Morton, Ph. I). Tho editor gives some opinions ou college matters, aud lu tho uudcrgraduates' department there Is a warn ing against intemperance, under the title of "A Voice from Macedonia," and a spirited transla tion of "Dies Ira," by Horace Castle, of tho Freshman Class. Wc give in full Judge Brewster'b article on "International Copyrights:" So much has been spoken and written upon this subject, that it would really seeui as if an apology were due for any allusion to it. Our attention having, however, been recently called to the matter by an article in a late number of tho London Telegraph, we have reconsidered the arguments for and against the proposition that England and America should exchange copy rights to their respective authors. It must appear, at first blush, that the reading public have nothing to gain by the enactment of. such a law. They are of course interested iu tho cheap reprints of foreign publica tions. But a-iJe from the pecuniary view of the question, which should always be discarded when we. are considering its mo rality and propriety, should a stranger have a monopoly here of his writings? The author is eutitled to a reward for his literary labors. He frequently Impresses hi thoughts upon the lite rature of his country lor all time, and should command his reward. Uufortunutely for Milton aud a score of others, ibis honorarium was more of an insult to genius than an acknowledgment of worth. But this broach of duty by society does not impair the author's right. The question then recursj how should he be rewarded? Clearly by giving him the exclusive profit from the sale of his works for a given number of years. All .civilized nations aet upon this principle, and protect the writer by copyright laws. Thus far tho man of genius docs not complain. But, he says, you should go farther. The Con gress of the United States aud the Parliament of Great Britain, he claims, should secure to him the monopoly of both cnuntrios, aud thus make the domestic law international. The effect of this upon our citizens can be seen by a glance at the statistics of publication. During the year IMS il; u'e were published 1918 books iu the United States. Of these 14.V), or two-thirds, were Ameriean works, 3.VJ were re prints of English books, and 10SI were transla tions from French and other continental authors. Of the whole number, 1 t were works on history aud biography poetry and drama claimed 1:47 while trade, commere . and political economy received attention from but 41 publications. Nearly one-fourth, then, of our reading would be subicct to the foreL.i tax. Should wo adopt stub, a svstom ? Has the stranger any claim iu morals upon us, tg tax ourselves for his rewaui ? It is dilllcult to un derstand upon what right lie claims this emolu ment. Tho man of science secures nothing for his discoveries, however important, unices they assume the shape of some machine or process. The law denies all right of patent to the dis coverer of ether as tin ana'sthctic, and yet, be yond all question, he was the greatest benefactor of his race. Sir Humphrey Davy, for his safety lamp, or Franklin lur his kite and key, received neither dollars nor guineas. It is also noticeable that the authors hum, clamorous for this law are from England, und we believe Mr. Dlckcus leads their race. Wn would not co.itei.d for a moment that the justice of a proposition is to be decided by the merits of Its advoe.iies. Hut Mr. Dickens, aside from his questionable el ;lms upon the American public, has really ivr. iv .,1 for advanced sheets as large a reward as perhaps he could have expected from a copyright. On the other hand, b ivo not foreigners repaid our appropriation of i'roinle croft; olTsctted M;u :t:ilay witli Motley Grotc. with Irving, i'reseott i.nd Kirk ? If they hurl at us the charge of Floating "Lit tle Nell' and "I'lelrw !ek." mav we not call them to account for I'nele Tom," "Uuecehy ," uud the "Wide, Wide Won.i?" ' There is, then, not only an absence of leal claim, but manly onVi .leney In this deiiiand"lo tax the many for the lotilot the few. Our English cousin may complain, but we must pay them iu "villow Livers,'' rather thau iu "greenbacks." "Wreck-Elections f tt Busy Life," published by Kellogg & Bulkley, designed by J. Bowkif, and sold by the American News Company, is a remarkable performuuee to which confess our irabllity to do fall justice. Tho title surtlcOtit'y indUates the character of tho work, which con thts of some twenty or more pictorial ex po-il1 lions of events In tho life of tho whHo-eotfe.( j hllopopher of the Vriliune from tho cradle to not the gtave, but to his withdrawal from tbd New York Constitutional Convention. The cover is embellished with a portrait of Horace In th.j act of writing his famous "Recollections of a Busy Life," aud we are invited to Inspect tho contents of this rather broad burlesque lu the fol lowing stanzas: "Would j oil view the nineteenth womler, l uiiiili st thlnn that e'er was seen, Pe,tcli.Irlsh, blond and thunder, Ureuey I 'Wearing of the ureenv' . ' "Look within and see the critter, ' llutiy, boy, anil Rrnwniip uian; And II you're compelled to titter, lie as soler as you can," Tho artistic qualities of Mr. Bowker's designs are not such as we can conscientiously commend, but the deficiencies In this respect tiro more than compensated for by the breadth and pungency of the entire, and there are doubtless many bu-:e enough to esteem the brochure excellent fun.
