Lenox. by C. K. Tuckerman. Soft summer sounds salute the air, Cool country colors greet the eye; Around the wide piazza chair The hay-blown breezes swoop and sigh. The level lawn of gracious green, The odorous line of gay parterre, The clear cut paths that run between-- Content the claims of cultured care. Near by, the neat New-England town, In latent strength of thrifty ease, Scatters its squares of red and brown Beneath the old familiar trees. The white church gleaming on the hill Beside its patch of village graves, Lifts, like a lighthouse, calm and still, Above the dark green swell of waves.

At a trial made in 1853, under the auspices of the British Board of Admiralty, to determine the comparative general merits of various descriptions of anchors, their comparative merits were decided to be as follows, the Admiralty anchor being taken as unity: — Trotman1.28Honibal (or Porter）1.09 Rodgers1.26Aylen1.09 Mitcheson1.20Admiralty1.00 Lenox1.13Isaacs.73 Notwithstanding the numerous recent modifications claiming to be improvements, an anchor differing little from the oldfashioned type, excepting that even the very largest sizes have iron stocks, still maintains its place both in the navy and merchant service of the United States.

t psalm-tune he ever learned was the 34th Psalm,—Through all the changing scenes of life, in trouble and in joy; and Wicklow he first heard at a singing-school in Belleville (part of Newburyport), where there were lots of boys and pretty girls. In later years, and, indeed, to the end of his life, it was his habit, each Sunday morning, to go through these, accompanying himself on the piano with one hand (he could never master the bass); and the strains of Coronation, Heborn, Ward. Denmark, Lenox, Majesty, and other familiar tunes, would waken the sleepers above, who, claiming their Sunday morning privilege, were still lingering in their beds. He had a great fondness for pet animals, especially cats, who instinctively recognized him as their friend and would come and jump into his lap at first sight and without invitation. From earliest boyhood he had one or more pussies, and his first great sorrow was being compelled to drown an old favorite whose days of usefulness were conside
