THE Poet Laureate opens the new monthly magazine , styled the Nineteenth Century , with the following sonnet : — " Those that of late had fleeted far and fast "To touch all shores , now leaving to

the skill " Of others their old craft seaworthy still , " Have chartered this , where mindful of the past , " Our true co-mates regather round the mast ,

" Of diverse tongue but with a common will "Here , iu this roaring moon of daffodil "Ancl crocus , to put forth and brave the blast ; "For some descending from the sacred peak " Of hoar hi gh templed Faith have leagued

again " Their lot with ours to rove the world about ; "And some are wilder comrades , sworn to seek " If any golden harbour be for men "In seas of Death and sunless gulfs of Doubt . "
