Rh Heaven Is Not Reached at a Single Bound.

(A FRAGMENT.)

The Battle of Blenheim.

was a summer's evening,

Old Kaspar's work was done,

And he before his cottage door

Was sitting in the sun;

And by him sported on the green

His little grandchild Wilhelmine.

She saw her brother Peterkin

Roll something large and round,

Which he, beside the rivulet,

In playing there, had found.
