Sweep and swell the billowy breast of moor
and moss
East and westward , and tle dell their
slopes enfold
Basics iii purple , glows in green , exnltn in
Glens that know tho dove and fells that hear
the lark
Fill with joy the * nipturous fclnnd , ns an ark
Full of s.pc 'ry wrought from herb and
( lower anil tree.
None" would dicaiu that grief even here may
disembark
On tlu * wrathful , wofnl innrgo of earth and
sea. *
Rocks emblazoned like .the mid shield's royal
bos
Take the HIU with all their blos.som broad
and bold :
None "A uuld .dream that all this moorland's
clow nnd gjos-s
Could be dark us tombs that ntrike the
spirit a"-cod !
Even in eyes that opened here , and hero
behold
Xow no.Kim relume from hope's belated
spark
Any comfort , nor may enrs of mourners
hark *
Though the rijx ) woods rinjf with golden-
th routed glee
While tliU'MKil lies shattered like a atranded
bark
On tho wrathful , woful margo of earth and
wsa.
Death : iiid doom are they whoso crested tri
"

On prciad pluni'jd waves whence mourning
notes ate tolled ;
Wail of perfect woe and moan for utter losi
Hake the bride-songthrough tho graveyard
on tho wold
"Where tho bride-bed kcejw the bridegroom
fat in mould :
Where the bridewith death for priest and
doom for clerk ,
Hears for choir the throats of waves liko
wolves that bark.
Sore anhungered , off the drear Epenjiierio ,
Fain to spoil tho strongholds of the .strength
of S-irk
On the wmthful. woful marge , of earth and

Wind whose wings are spread for flight that

Lightly dies the joy that lives by grace of

Love through thec lies bleedinghope lies eold

"Cob and
[ Wallace's Monthly.l
Tho descriptive ) words "robs" nnd
"backs , " as applied to particular types
of lior.scs , arc of limited use in "this
country , and .some of our traders seem
to suppose that th sy Jir used to dosijj-
nate certain brcods'tltat arc known by
these names. Tins is : i mistake. Tho
terms are not used to dcsignato a breed ,
but to indicate the typo of an animal ,
in his f.iy.0 and conformation , ( indif
ferencewhat bis blood or whether ho
has any blond. A "cob' ' is a short-
lejjged , stout , block and compactly built
animal , varying in * height from thirteen
hands three inches to fourteen hands
throe inches. ' 'The "hack" is the same
type of an animal , varying in height
from fourteen hands { hree inches to
liftcen hands three inches. The hack is
larger than the eob and the cob is larger
than the pony , and thy sizes we have in
dicated are after tiie best English usage.
Tito Morgan Imr.se. in his original type ,
would have been tho Englishman's true
ideal of the cob.
