POETRY AUTUMXAL STAXZ\S.— (ANON.) 1 The winds are pillowed, the sun is shining mi S delighted to cheer the land, ougi Autumn's tints are around declining And Decay rears altars on either hand. er western mountains the dark clouds hover, oreto ling the chili of approaching showers, The summer pride of the woods is over, And droop in languor the seeded flowers. 2 Behold the FIELDS that so lately nourished R ui'°!Ln ('leir treasures of golden grain. ,E GARDENS that lately flourished Tt .1 'J I l'le sPie:idours of Flora's train E.L LE GROVES that with leaf and blossom U|mureu at eve to the west wind's sway, Lo proclaiin to the pensive bosom, V e are of Earth—and we pass away."— 3 Oh. thus hv the wimpling brook's meander, T On P. Sahhath morn when all is still, -t is pure and serene to ror Peace enoirnpasseth vale and hill; nd tlie waning tints ot" the Earth before u?. And the chastened hues of the Sky above, Azid the red ash leaves that dangle o'er us, Like lessons of Faith to the Spirit prove. I 4 t is now that the thoughtful heart pervaded liy a spell that quenches til outward strife, n submission broods o'er prospects faded, And in co.ours real sees mortai life Oa. shame be now to the dark revealings Of anger and spleen towards brother iran wr e t0 Guilt and all sullied feelings Which midnight conscience shrinks to scan. 5 When we list to the Hermit Kobin singing W:th a warning voice mill fading flowers, Think we not then how life is winging On to the tomb, which must soon be ours? The past-the past-like a mournful story L es traced on the map of thought unfurled, And the future reveals the promised glory Of unending Spring in anofher world. 6 Where are the visions .that flashed and cheated rp. -Aurora beauty our youthful sight? The hopes we nursed are they not defeated? Are the loves that blessed us not quenched in night? And thus in abstracted meditation Over vanished Beauty the spirit grieves Joys ost- Friends gone to Death's silent nation Are to the heart but its withered leaves. CHARADE. My first that was so fresh and fair Has faded, faded from thy face, And pale decay has left no trace Ol bloom and beauty there. And round that virgin heart of thine My eeond winds its cold caress, Konnd that pure hear', whose tenderness Was passion's purest shrine. Roses are springing o'er thy clay, And there my whole, obscurely bright, Still shews its little lamp by nigh*, And hides i: still by day. Aptly it lights the cypress bower, For even so thy truth was proved, Most brightly seen, most fondly loved, In sorrow's darkest hour. PRA ED. RLETIP IN DAN OR, A TRIP OVER THE BORDER. A New Song being a Parody on Burns' Bonnie Lesley Written by A Juvenile Whig," And sung with much applause at his M njesty's Theatre, Downing-street, by "LITTLE JOHN NOBODY." O saw ye bleth'rin Dan, As he ga'ed o'er the border, ne's gane, ou), Agitator, To spread rebellion farther. But see him once, you'll ken him, And ken him weel for ever, If Nature made him what he is, She ne'er made sic aniiher Thou art a KinO', bi" Dan'el We abject slaves before thee; 1Yc and cringe like We hate—yet must adore thee Slander! She could na scaith thee, c, .r,a,gK,hat wad belang thee •-lie <1 [no* into thy brazen face. And say—" canna wiang thee." The powers bdow will tent rhee- ria steer Ihee; » hou rt like himself, s' unlovelv, The De'il will scarce come near thee. Return then, bleth'rin Dan, Return from Caledonie That \\e Whigs mav brag—we've still the man 10 lie and cheat Vairist ouy
