Text Appearing Before Image: He sees lofty towers Rising to the moon !He sees httle soldiers Pulling them all down.Worlds rushing up and down, Blazing with a flare, —See how he leaps, As they glimmer in the air. For all so sage he looks.What can the laddie ken ? Hes thinking upon nothing ;Like many miglity men. PICTURES, FANCIES, AND MEMOBIES. 141 A wee thing makes us think, A small thing makes us stare, —There are more folks than him Building castles in the air. Such a night in winter May well make him cold ;His chiu upon his chubby hand Will soon make him old.His brow is smooth and broad, — Oh pray that busy careWould let the wean alone With his castles in the air ! He 11 glower at the fire. And he 11 glance at the light !But many sparkling stars Are swallowed up in night ;Older eyes than his Are dazzled by a glare —Hearts are broken — heads are turned With castles in the air. —James Ballantyne. U2 CHILD LIFE.

Over the sea.Lady Moon, Lady Moon, whom are you loving 1 All that love me. Are you not tired with rolling, and never Resting to sleep ?AYhy look so pale and so sad, as forever Wishing to weep ? PICTURES, FANCIES, AND MEMORIES. 143 Ask mc not this, little child, if you love me : You are too bold :I must obey my dear Father above me. And do as Im told. Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving ? Over the sea.Lady Moon, Lady Moon, Tvliom are you loving ? All that love me. ■ —Lord Houghton THE NEW MOON. Dear mother, how prettyThe moon looks to-night I She was never so cunning before ;Her two little hornsAre so sharp and so bright, I hope she II not grow any more. If I wire up there.With you and my friends, I d rock in it nicely, you d see ;I d sit in the middleAnd hold by both ends ; Oh, what a bright cradle twould be ! I would call to the starsTo ke
