No sooner Summer comes with all Her fertile fields to please, Then comes his wish for Autumn's fall, And her luxurious ease. lie seos her glories all expire, And point him to the tomb. And in his heart springs up desire For Winter's weary gloom. Man f aring Time's too quick decay, And trombli.ig at his fate, Still wishes Moments, Months away, Nor ceases till too late. To gain one toy, dere endears, Or fancv gives a charm, lie oft annihilates whole years. Nor thinks of death's alarm. But when possessed, the value flies Anticipation gave ; Tears till his dim and aged eyes, He ponders on the grave. Fain would he give the gaudy toy, And all iN pleasure flown. But to regain the soul felt joy, His youthful years had known. Milfokd Bard.

LIF.IJTF.N AN 1 LUFF, All you that are fond of wine, Or any other stuff, Take warning by the dismal fate Of one Lieutenant Luff. A sober man he might have been Except in one regardHe did not like sft water. So he took to drinking hard. Said he, let others fancy slops. And talk in praise of Tea, But I am no Bohemian, So do not like Bohca If ine's a poison so is Tea, Though in another shape ; What matter whether one is killed By canister or grape ? According to this kind of taste Did he 'indulge hit drouth, And h.-ing fond rf Port, he made A ?or-hole of his mouth ; A single pint he might have sipped, And not been out of sorts ; In Geographic phrrvse, the rock He split upon was Quartz. To "hold the mirror up to vice" W ith him was hard, alas! The worse f r wine he often was, But not " before the glass '" No kind and prudent frit nd he had To hid him drink no more ; The onlv chajucrs in his course Were at the tavern door. Full soon the sad effects of this His fVaim began to show, For that old enemy the gout Had taken him in toe. And joined with this an evil came Of quite another sort, For while he drank, himself, his purse Was getting " something short." For want of cash he soon had pawned One half that he possessed. And drinking showed him duplicates Ih forehand of the rest ; So now his creditors resolved To seize on his assets, For why, they found that his halffiay Did not half pay his debts. But Luff contrived a novel mode His creditors to chouse, For his own execution he Put into his own house! A pistol to the muzzle charged, He took devoid of fear. Said he" this barrel is my last, So now for my last bier." Aginn hiis lungs he aimed the slugs, And not against his brain. So he blew out his lights, and none Could blow them in again! A jury for the verdict met, And gave it in these terms We find as how as certain tlugs Has vent him to the ivcrms."
