WINTER SONG.

the blazing midnight fire,
Heap the crackling faggots higher ;
Stern December reigns without,
With old Winter's blustering rout !

Let the jocund timbrels sound;
Push the jolly goblet round;

Care avaunt, with all thy crew,
Goblins dire, and devils blue!

Bark ! without the tempest growls,
And the affi ightesi watch-dog howls;
'Witches on their broomsticks sail,
Death upon the whistling gale !
neap the crackling faggots higher,
Draw your easy chairs still nigher;
And, to guard from wizards hoar,
Nail the horse-shoe on the door!

Now repeat the freezing story
Of the murdered traveller gory,
Found beneath the yew-tree sear,
Cut his throat froth ear to ear !

Tell, too, how his ghost, all bloody,
Frighten'd once a neighbouring Goody ;
And how still at twcJve he stalks,
Groaning o'er the wild wood walks!

Then, when Fear usurps her sway,
Let us creep to bed away ;
Each for ghosts, but little bolder,
Fearfully peeping o'er his shoulder !

At the last Concert at Salisbury, a very beautiful
glee was performed, which came from the pen of al
amateur; the words are taken from JOHN LILLYE, a
Poet of the Elizabethan age:
Cupid and my Campaspe play'd
At cards for kisses : Cupid paid ;
He stakes his quiver, bow and arrows,
His mother's doves, and team of sparrows;
Loses them, too then down he throws
The coral of his lip, the rose
Growing on's cheek (but none knows how),
With them the chrystal of his brow,
And then the dimples of his chin;
All these did my Cantpaspe win.
At last he set her both his eyes;
She won, and Cupid blind did rise.
Oh, Love ! has she done this to thee?
What shall, alas! become of me?

plauded his ingenious industry:

ter; George Duke, of Sonaersham ; William Marquis, of Stoke-
Icy ; Edward Earl, of Hartford; Robert Lo,d, of Worsir ;

RUSTIC WIT.—AS two would-be Wits were" push-
ing along" in their gig on the road to Brighton, on
Sunday morning, elated with the expectation of ob-
taining a peep at Majesty and a sight of the Palect!
Chapel, under the guidance of a" gentle Shepher,i,"
they overtook a clod pate on the road, blowing oil
his fingers, which were benumbed by the COLL
Well, John," said one of our Wits, have yolt
met a swarm of bees on the road this morning'"
" Why, no," replied John, with the archest look
imaginable, " but I saw two confounded rest
drones though."
Tuesday, when the York mail arrived at the Cross
Keys, in Hull, about six o'clock in the morning, a
hen was discovered roosting on the top. On inquill
it turned out that she had come all the way trout
York in that state. She had chosen that place ler
her night's lodging some time previous to the co.tch
being brought out, and, undisturbed the liar'
nessing of the horses, or the motion of the vehicle,
had. remained stationary the whole of the way. There
were no outside passengers, and the night was
as well as excessively cold.
