      Shall stand for sovran right , and rule the world ; And till the woman budding in the soul , Outgrow the savage ; and the nobler man Do acts heroic , to make pale the deeds Of men that stand up tall and beautiful Amid the light of swords , when danger weds With grace , and , strength with wisdom , and beyond

      All life , Love shines a star that never sets . " She ended , and the Father of the World Smote the rejoicing earth , and soon appeared Millions of radiant creatures , some with wings iEtlierial , some with massive pinions stood , Prompt to accompany the Gods to Heaven . Now rose the chariot , and therein enthroned , The God and Goddess and their Godlike mate , Ascended slowly on sustaining winds . Meanwhile , to greet the dazzling host that streamed

      Upward and onward , through the bright ' ning clouds , Hung gorgeous banners , drooping to the earth , While trumpets shook their silver scorn abroad , And music panted in the moaning air . Here wavering arms o ' er rosy feet were crost , And here gold tresses dropt down azure gulfs Of summer weather . In remoter heights Great heads , with garlands , lookt thro' glitt ' ring clouds , And calm glad faces , rising row o ' er row , Crowded the Heaven with beauty . So convoyed Through the smooth air , the mighty splendour flowed , So reacht the stars , and now beyond the stars ,

      Showed like some wondrous fleet beheld m dream , Sailing with ships before and ships behind , In infinite succession , prow and stern . But slowly now the Olympian gates unfold , For life and will were in them , leading down Thro' a great brightness to the sacred towers And golden houses , where the Gods abide In joy antl glory ; nor ambrosia fails , Nor nectar for the feast ; nor for the dance Fails ever lyre or song : but Muse and Grace , Still mix their lovely shadows as they glide ,

      Like breezes ruffling Heaven s transparent floor . Now fainter shone that far-off company , Entering at sapphire portals into Heaven . But when the last of that rejoicing host Stept thro' the gates , Heaven closed inaudible , And hid bis awful beauty from the world . Then darkness came ; but mid the purple gloom , Hung on the sparkling finger of the night , A silver wreath , with stars for letters , told Of Ariadne , crowned by deathless hands , And one lone woman on the Cretan shore , lleheld and understood , and thankt the Gods .

      PANORAMA OF THE BERNESE ALPS . People who hare seen as many , say , as half-a-dozen of Burford ' s circular pictures , are pretty well accustomed to being thrown into fits of deli ghted surprise , chiefly by the natural effect of the distance . If a mountain range enclose the view , they feel it is so much , the better ; and if some of the peaks be snow-capped , better still . So that we may imagine a great many pairs of hands rtibbed together in gleeful expectation of unprecedented wonders , when the news came out the other day that Mr . Burford had been to Switzerland ,, and had , taken his stand on the summit of the

      Faulhorn ; and had looked eastward on the rocky walls of the four cantons , and westward to the Alps of Savoy j and had made a note of Lucerne and Unterwalden , with their stern sentinels , Eighi and Pilate and had jotted down the Finsteraarhorn and Jungfrau , and all the other peaks discernible of the Bernese Oberland ; and had taken account of the pasture-lands and pine-forests , and booked the glaciers , and checked off the lakes and villages ; and , in short , had put down , reckoned up , and brought away in the pockets of an unsuspicious-looking little sketch-book the sum total of the vast pictorial riches belonging to that divided empire of the Terrible and the Lovely .

      How Mr . Burford has done this may be seen by all who will take the trouble to go as far as Leicester-square , any day between nine and dusk . Ah , that old house , standing modestly back in a corner of the square !— . Is it possible we should ever enter at its low , wide portal , and dive into its dusky length of passage , and not be mindful of a time when " Burford's" was to us what nothing can ever be again—a happy dream , to come true regularly twice a-year P Are there not hundreds who love the place , as we do , for its pleasant memories of such a time , not less than of later holidays passed amid the actual scenery represented ? And there is this great thing to be said for the panoramas ; tHat , in considering how much of their former interest was objective , and how much

      subjectivewhat proportion was due to the artist ' s skill , and what to the ingenuous freshness of the boy—the paintings , as paintings , must gain rather than lose place in our estimation . Thus , at no time could we have been more thoroughly impressed with the truthfulness of Mr . Barford ' s pencil than we were the other day in looking at the Bernese Alps . " What was it that we saw , standing on the awful Faulkorn , eight thousand feet above the level of Leicester-square ? Listen . At first the eye wanders round in that endless confusion of upspringing forms , and soon gets wearied with trying to measure objects and distances without some standard to go by . So , for a time , it will be as well

      if we take a narrower range , and gradually accustom our sight to the vastness beyond . The very mountain on which we stand includes a pretty tolerable field of objects for a Londoner to begin with . The inn where they make up some thirty beds for travellers , at an elevation six hundred feet above the Hospice of St . Bernard !—from July to October , that is to say , for the severity of the storms during the remaining eight mouths of the year compels the entire abandonment of the dwelling . Glimpses may be caught of the path which ascends over the Buch Alp from Grindelwald , as Avell as of the more dangerous track , passing the waterfall of the Grieslmeh above the lake of Brienz . We are now

      looking away from the little inn ; and there , below , is the lake just mentioned , from the margin of which this same Faulhorn abruptly springs . The lake appears in two places , and there again—no , that is another and a smaller lake , the name of which wo don't remember . On the opposite bank of the Brienz lake is the town of Brienz—a real town , with a church , parsonage , and two or three inns . We count several of these little wooden villages , standing among forests of cherry-trees , in a district everywhere blessed for the excellence of its kirch-wasser . And now we can venture to look abroad without ho much fear of getting confounded by the number and magnitude of the peaks . Ah we tui-n eastward these rise higher

      and higher , the terrible Shreikhorn topping all . Next it is the Finsteraarhorn , and then come the Eiger , the Monch , and the Jungfrau . There is little else than a jagged chain of snow-covered peaks on this side the picture , where the distant lakes of Zug and Lucerne show as mere strips . Indeed , the whole view is deficient in lake and river scenery , what little there is being at the western base of our mountain . We look that way again , at the sunset , which is so natural as to account at onco in our mind for the shadows which are really gathering below , and which deepen faster as we look . So we look no more , but , pulling greatcoat and comforter close about our ears , descend into Craiibourn-Htreet . Q-
