Far on the deep ; .Sport of the winds and waves. That from ^Eohis' eaves O'er men, their willing slaves.
Stern vigils keep :

Of God behold- As fearless ye pursue The waste of waters through. "Mid scenes for ever new,
Your journey bold:
When "to the heavens je mount. Ills wondrous deeds recount His praises sing I

And by it steer — Wide o'er the pathless sea. The Cross your pole-star be. And ne'er to vind or lee

��I send 3'ou flowers, To make the hours
L'ass pleasantly and sweetlj^ When flowers decay, We know that they
Have duty done completely.
They never cloy, Nor lessen joy, Hut add thereunto often;
��And many know^ That pain and woe Their presence serves to soften.
The flowers I send
Full soon will blend Their beauty with the dead dust ;
But that which gives,
For ever lives, — My love, esteem, and trust.

Dear Sir: — in looking over the list of portraits named in yom^ last num- ber, as being in the State House, I was pleased to see that it embraced the name of my old college classmate, at Norwich University, Col. Jesse A. Gove, " the gallant Jesse," than whom a more genial companion never lived. I was also pained to see that yon had omitted
��from the list my first army commander Gol. E. E. Cross, of the fighting 5th and my army associate. Maj. Edward Sturtevant, the first soldier in Ne^^ Hampshire to enlist in 1S61. There is no need of any ])ortraits to perpet- uate the memory of either, so long as brave deeds are remembered by our people.
