The Poems of Felicia Hemans
by Felicia HemansOne of her earliest tastes was a passion for Shakspeare, which she read, as her choicest recreation, at six years old; and in later days she would often refer to the hours of romance she had passed in a secret haunt of her own—a seat amongst the branches of an old apple-tree—where, revelling in the treasures of the cherished volume, she would becom..
The Heritage
by Sydney C. GrierNight was falling in the leafless beech forest which covered a spur of the Balkans. There was a thin sprinkling of snow on the rocky ground, but it was frozen hard, and showed no trace of the leather moccasins of the two men who were climbing the slope. Both wore unobtrusive uniforms of dull grey, almost concealed by huge brown greatcoats with hood..
The Highlanders of Glen Ora
by James GrantThe hills of the Western Highlands were still tipped with a golden gleam, but the deep and savage hollows of Glen Ora were gloomy and full of dark shadows.

Summer Morning - A poem
by Thomas MillerMorning again breaks through the mines of Heaven,And shakes her jewelled kirtle on the sky,Heavy with rosy gold. Aside are drivenThe vassal clouds, which bow as she draws nigh,And catch her scattered gems of orient dye,The pearlèd-ruby which her pathway strews;Argent and amber, now thrown useless by.The uncoloured clouds wear what she doth refuse,F..
The Goblin Groom - a Tale of Dunse
by R. O. FenwickThe Author of the Goblin Groom can, on no consideration, be induced to follow the example of the amiable and justly celebrated Madame de Genlis, who, in her Historical Romance of the Chevaliers du Cygne, observes,—“Enfin l’ideè de faire mourir l’heroine de l’histoire des les premieres pages, et cependant de s’occuper d’elle jusqu’ a la fin, est peu..
