Hark, through the dim woods dying,With a moan,

Faintly tne winds are sighingSummer's gone !

Tnese , when ny hjuied heart feeletli ,And the pale moon reveuleth.Darkly my footstep stealeth,

To weep alone;Hour aster hour I wander, JBy men unseen ;

And sadly ir.j wrung thoughts pundorOn what haih beenSummer's gone!

There in our own green bowers,Long ago,

Our path ihrnugh the tangled fioweisTreading .low ; .

Oft hand in hand entwiningOft rid? by side recliningWe've witrhf'd iu crimson nhining

The Miot-- i glow;Dimly th s rn now burnetii,

For me aloneSpiir a'rer piiug leturneth,

Thou art goneSuimner'sgonol

Still nn my wa.m cheek playothThe restless breeze,

Still in its freshness ttrayethBetween ihe trees;

Still the blue streamlet gushed.Still the broad river jusheth,Still the calm silence hushsih

The heart's disease;But who shall bring our meetings

Back a;ain?What shall recall thy greetings,

Love in vainSummer's gone!

OLD Wlt.TER IS COMING,ur Hugh Moor.e.

Old Winter is coming again alack!How icy and cold is he! W

He cares not a pin for a shivering back,He's a saucy old chap lo while and blark.He whistle his chills with a wonderful knack,

For he comes from a cold country !

A w'.tty olrl fellow this tVinteris;A mighty old fellow for glee!

He cracks his jokes on the pretty sweet Jlis,The wrinkled old maiden, unfit to kis,And freezes the dew on their lips (or this

Is the way with such fellows as he!

Old Winter's a frnlicksome blade, I wattle is wild with his humor, amyree!

He'll whi'llr along for the 'want of his thought,'And set all the warmth of our furs at nsugtil,And ruffle the laces by pretty girls bought;

For a fioIickso.Tie fellow is lie !

Old Winter is' blowing Iris gnsts along,And merrily shaking the liee!

From morning till night he will sine his song ;Now moaning, arr3?ort now howling and long ;

His voice is Iouda lungs are strongA merry old fe.iowsshe!

;Old Winter! a wicked old chap, I weenAs wicked as ever you'll see!

'fie withers the flowers, so fresh and greenAnd bites the pert nns of the Miss of sixteen,As she trippingly walks, in maidenly sheen!

A wicked old fellow is he!

Old Wlnte'sa Inugli old lellow cr blows!As tough as ever you'll see!

He will trip up our trntters, and rend our clothes,And stiffen our li.nhs frpm singers to toesHe minds not the cries of his friends or foes ;

A lough old fellow is he!

A cunning old fellow is Winter, they say,A cunning olrl fel'ow is he !

He peeps in the crevices day by day.To see how we're passing our time away,And narks all our doings, from grave to gay ;

I'm afraid he is peeping at me.

NO O'S.I am about to impart to you gentle rea

der, in confidence, a misfortune of an unusual character, en incident which willmake you smile as it sell to my lot, butwould have made you laugh on the otherside of your mouth had you been its vic-

tim.There is a certain jourual in circula

tion dedicated expressly to tho theatresand the movements of the stage ,the col-

umns of which arc filled up with theatri-cal advertisements, and the dramatispersona: of representation. 1 he journalffrculittes to a certain exten", and soilsfor a cent, when it is sold nt all.

There was much wisdom in an obser-vation of M. Vontour -- when a martfinds that ho cant pay bis rent, he oughtlo live in hh own freehold." ""whetherthe journal was, or wasj not able to payits printer, I cannot take upon me todecide; but, at all avents, it purchased aprinting office; not a handsome, new,:littenn:j, lirst rate printing oltice, madeup of the sweeping and refuse of otheroffices; the press was alhmatic from ageand exhaustion; the types were worn outand br ken; f's without a head, and amass ofshapeless crippled and incompletehieroglyphics.

One of these mornings, as tho princi-

pal editor was busily occupied in the im-

portant duty of preparing his copy, theforeman made his appearance, pale, who,begone, and big with some mysteriousand awful secret. Requesting a privateconference, he addressed hts principal to

.his esfect: T-

"We shall not feahle'togct tho paperout to day, sir. Tnere are some infernalscoundrels in the world!"

"What's the matter now, pray?""A parcel of worthless scum ""What do von mean?""Thieves!""Where are vou driving?""People without delicacy, honor or

principle !y.

"How now?""Enemies of the press!"

Two hours afterwards tho anxiouslyexpected article made its appearance, enclosed in tho following epistle:

Genius can never recognize or submitto any restrictions; and I will not cliptlfe wings of mv imagination' angel.Herewith you have my article: I mustdecline mutilating it, or becoming so out-

rageously o ssivorous.The paragraph commenced this way :

On Monday was performed tho operaof Cosimo accrding to order, before thesovereign of the French, King Leopold,the Dukes of Nemours and Joinville.Cholet, according to custom, acted withprodigious power; his voice on this occa-

sion, seemed endowed with more thancommon melody, &-c- .

A DANDY IN -- THE BACKWOODS.Scene in i. Hotel in Tennessee

Landlord 'Certainly, whenever youplease, sir.

But 1 want a room to my sell, sir:1'I do not know how that will be,' re

'I can't go it sir!' replied tho dandy,strutting up and down; 'never slept in a

room wnh any body in my lite, sir: ananever will must have a loom, sir!'

The landlord now laughed outright nt

the airs of the coxcomb, and then said

'Well, well, I'll go and tall;with mywise and see what she can do

landlady.'He is a trifling fellow,' said the land-

lord, 'but is we can accommodate the poor

little man, wc had better do so.'The landlady professed her readiness

to discharge the rights of hospitality, butdeclared there was not a vacant apart-

landlady's pretty niece. 'I will sleepkvith tho children, or any where you

please.' The young lady was a visiter,land a great favorite, and tne otaer laoy'was altogether opposed to putting her to'any discomfort, particularly on account'of such a rude man. But the" tieice car

'Why not, sir?' inquiredlandlord.

'It's not clean! I can't sleep in it!' re-

peated ihe dandy, strutting up and downwith the most amusing air of

'I would'ut sleep there for a thou--san- d

dollars!''Take care what you say,' said tfia

landlord; 'you are not aware that I keeptho best house i:i all thia country, andthat my wise is sinned for the cleanlinessof her house and beds!'

'Can't help it,' replied tho dandy, verydeliberately suiveing himself in a mir-ror, 'very sorry sir, nwjtward business to-b-

It was nearly breakfast time when therrest-taiie- n stranger made his appearancein the morning. To his surprise, hissteed, who had evidently- - fared as wellas himself, stood ready saddled at thadoor.

'Pray, sir,' said he to his host, in anhumble tone, and in a manner whichshowed him at a loss how to begin thconversation, 'pray, sir, at what hour doyou breakfast?'

'We breakfast at eight,' was the reply,'but the question is one to which youhave little interest; for you must seek abreakfast elsewhere.'

'Surely, my dear sir, you would nottreat a gentleman with such great indig-

nity :

'March!' said the landlord,JMybill i

'You owe me nothing; I should thinkmyself degraded by receiving your mon-

ey.'In another moment, the nt

mortal, who tho evening before had rid-

den through the town with such a con-

sciousness of his own dignity, gallopedaway, degraded, vexed and humbled.

PADDY AND THE ECHO.Patrick! where have you been this

hour or more? you must not be absentyourself without my permision.'

'Qch, niver more will I do the liko,sir.'

'Well, give an account of yourself,you seem out of breath.'

'Faith the same I am sir, I never was in
