The rivulet, late unseen,

Where bickering through the shrubs its waters run,

Shines with the image of its golden screen,

And glimmerings of the sun.

The sun had set when we descended the hill and walked down the valley, following the path of the torrent, thus hoping to reach the Elbe and then Shandau. The mountain gorge was grand beyond description. Rocks of the most singular and fantastic shapes rose up in lofty grandeur on each side of the dark ravine. Their grey uneven sides spoke to us of the storms and deluge that have swept over the world. Not a living thing was to be seen, and the babbling of the brook was the only sound that broke the stillness of the air. Dusk deepened into dark. On we wandered, at length we began to fear that we were lost in the mountains, and the legends of the ghosts and goblins that haunted these mountains crowded in our mind. Our fears were allayed by seeing a light glimmering in the woods; and with lightened hearts we made for it. It turned out to be a small cottage, and, after much difficulty, we made out from the cottager that Shandau was distant twelve miles. He pointed us out the right path, and weary and hungry we trudged on. "It is a long lane that has no turning"; about 12 p.m. Shandau was reached. After much ringing we roused the inmates of the inn, and a snug room, warm fire and supper soon made us forget our miseries. Then occurred to me in their full force the poet's words—

Whoe'er has travelled life's dull round,

Where'er his various course has been;
Must sigh to think how oft he found
His warmest welcome at an inn.

-Finita potestas denique cuique

Quavam sit vatione atque alte terminus hærens."

WHEN the light leaves are lifted away
Over and far from the moaning trees,
Do they remember the bygone day
When they clustered and pressed i' the breeze?

Do they remember the deepening shade
There by their gathering foliage made,

Do they remember the children that played,
Do they remember the young ones that strayed,
Do they remember the old ones that stayed
Lingering long i' the leafy glade?

Do they remember the acorns that fell
Deep thro' the leaves to some tiny cell
I' the springing green grass?—I never could tell.
Whether in shade or whether in sun

It mattereth not, so the work be done;

We may remember, and sigh for the sun;
They may forget-for their work is done.

So the bells' clear tones are done,
So when their sweet sounds cease,
Sweet when departing, sweetest they run

On in some silent peace.

While the harp-o'-the-heart, when her tunes are o'er, Makes answer with murmurings sweet,

Let echo ring on in shade or in sun,

For who need care when the work is done,

So the work be found complete?

OUR CHRONICLE.

HERE is but little to record of the past Term.
The New Chapel is rapidly approaching com-

pletion, and we hope in our next number to give an account of its opening, an event which is fixed for the 12th of May, and will, it is hoped, be marked by a large gathering of old Johnians.

The College has had its full share of success in the Senate-House during the Term. In the Mathematical Tripos no less than fourteen of the Wranglers, and among them Mr. Elliott, who was bracketed second, and Mr. Carpmael, who was sixth, were Johnians. Mr. Elliott subsequently gained the first Smith's Prize; the Senior Wrangler, Mr. Hartog, of Trinity, carrying off the second.

The College has also, for the third time in the last four years, gained the great Classical distinction of the Craven University Scholarship, Mr. W. E. Heitland being the successful candidate of the present year.
