POETRY.

S--t i CTTO F' R THE BERAT.D. CJIcoin of Ah If mm. - Ha:l y s'giung son? of &3rrow, 4 . View with me the autumnal gloom; 7earn from hence your fata tomorrow Dead, perhaps laid in the toomb. See all nature, fading, dying, Silent all things sem to mour; Life, fam vegetation fl-'ing; Call to n ind the mouldering ur. Often Autumn's tempest failing, Makes the lofty fore-1 hod; ' Scer.ee of nat(ire,hovv surprising, Read in nature, nature's God. . See our sovereign soul creator, t. T- i' cs eternal in the skies; nile we mo-tals yield to nature, , iocm awhile, then fade and die. Mature fall? by dread Balona, Through the tyranny of King's? Just like plants iu pale Pamona, Palls to riae in future springs. Mournful scenes, when vegetatioa Dies by frost or worms devour; Doubly mournful, when a nation FalLi by neighboring nations power, Deithand war my mind lirrsses Autumn shewsmy own decay, Culls to mind my past distresses V aras me of my dying day. Autumn makes me melancholy, Strikes dejection through my soul, While I mourn my former folly, Agaves of sorrow o'er me roll. Lot Ihearthe air resounding, With expiring insect cries; ' Oh, to me their moans how wounding Emblems of my own demise. Hollow winds around me roaring, Jioisy waters round me riae; While I sit my case deploring, Tears fast streaming from my eyea. What to me is Autumn's treasures, Since I know no sartnly joy; Long I've lost all youthful pleasure. Time must yield and health destroy. Pleasures once I fondly courted, Blooining like the flushing rose; Aa to me where once I've sported, Now embitters all uiy woes. Age aad 6orrov since have blasted, Every youthful pleating dream, Quivering age witli youth contrasted, U how short the glowing gleam. As the annual frosts are cropping, Leaves and tendrills from the trees S; my friends are yearly dropping, By old agt and dire disease. Fast my sod of life's declining, Soon 'twiil set in endless nigut; Then my hopes are past repiniBg, Bless'd in future life and light. Cease my fearing, trembling, sighing JJeath will b eak the sullen gloom; Soon my spirit fluttering, flying, Must be born b yond the tomb. When a few more years are wasUd, , When a few more days are o'er, When a few more griefs I've tasted, I shall fall to rise no more. o-:t:s:-o From the Ariel. O pledge me not in sparkling wine, In cups with roses bound O hail me at no festive shrine, In mirth aad music's found. Or if you pledge me, let it bo V.ien none are by to hear And in the wine you drink to me, For me let fall a tear. Forbear to breathe in pleasure's hall, A name you should forget ; Lest echo's faintest whisper fall On her who loves thee jet Or if you name me, let it be When none are by to hear ; And as my name is sigh '4 by thee, . For me let fall a tear. O think not when the harp shall Bound The notes we lov'd again, And gentle voices breathe around, I mingle in the strain. Oh! only think you hear me when The olght brew whispers aearj

In hoars of thought, and quiet then For me let fall a tear. Seek me not in the mazy dahw, Nor let your fancy trace Resemblance in a timid glance J Or distant form and face. But if you eeek me,be it whe' Ko other forms are near ; And while in thought we meet agaie. For me let fall a tear

ON A GENTtEMAlf WBO EXPENDED BIS FOt TUNE IN HORSE EAC1NO. ' Jack ran so long, and ran so fast No wonder he run out at last; He ran in debt, and then, to pay He distanced all and ran away; Fiom the Bofton, Transcript AVe publish -d yesterday an anecdote from the Christian Index, which we are' as sured by an octogenarian, is a corrupted version of the original. He insists that the following is the real imoa rurc; . i In the olden times, when it was the custom in many parts of New England to sing the psalms and hymns by kde coning" them, as it was called, that was by the deacon's reading each Ime previous to its being sung, one of thes church dignitaries rose, and after lookin" at hi- book some time, and makinij several attempts to spell the words apologized lor the dimculty he experien ced in reading, by observing. 'My eyes indeed are very blind.' The choir, vtuo had been impatiently waning iw u wuoie uue, inin&ing uus to be the tirst ot a common metre hymn, immediately sang it. The good deacon exclaimed, with emphasis, u "I cannot sen at all" 1 This, of course, they also sung, whea the astonished pihar oi the church cried out, "I really believe yon are bewitch ed!" Response by the choir. u really "believe you are bewitched." Deacon, "The deuce is in you all." The choir finished the verse by echoing the last line, and the deacon sat down in despair. ORIGIN OF THE VEIL. The origin of the veil is referred by the Greeks to modesty and bashful, ness, properties which partake equally of timidity. They used to tell a pleasant story on the subject, for which we are indebted to Pausanius. About 30 furlongs from the city of Sparta, jcari. us placed a statute of Modesty, for the purpose of perpetuating the following incident 'Icariua having married hi daughter Ulysses solicited hissou-in-law to fix his household in Sparta, and re. main there with his wife, to which Ulysses would not consent. Frustrated in his application to the hasbard. h made the like request to his daughter, conjuring her not to abandon him; bufc seeing her ready to depart with T,rles, for Ithica, he redoubled his effort to retain her, nor could he be prevailed upon from the following the chariot on the way. Ulysses shocked at rh desperate situation of his father-in-l.iw, and wearied with I is importunities, ad dressed his wife: Vou can nsrtthis request; it is yours to determine whether you will remain with your father at Sparta, or depart with your husband ior Ithica: vouare mistress nf the decision.' The beautiful Penolope, findh cr herself in this dili blushed, and without makihi? ihe least reply, drew her veil over her face, thereby intimating her denial tf her fathers request, and sunk in th arm of her husband. Icarius, rery senn bly affected by this behaviour, and be ing desirous of transmitting- it. conse crated a Statue of MnrlAsf v nn the i-tr spot where Penolope had thrown the veil over her face. that, after her. it might be a universal svmbol of delica cy with the fair sex." A person travellinersomewhere above Natchez, chanced to ston at a Cabin..' where he found an old woman shaking with the Afriie. PilrinfT her situation. he accosted her "This appears to be a sickly neighborhood, old lady, yo seem to shake very hard." She replied Oh do. sir. we dont be sickJv here at all, but a quarter of a mile above herc tney do snake powerful. A man's own rood breeding is tfiA best security against other people ij? maoucrf,
