THE OLD COUCH.

Mr.. EDITOR,
ON small estate, which descended
to me from my grand father, stands ven
cradle mansion which is terribly lacerated
Try the hand of time, having stood the buff
lettings Of more than one hundred years.
This edifce, and all the furniture apper-
tanning, | have ever estee med too superan-
nuated Tor my occupancy, and too sacred
for that Of 0notker: its doors have there
fore been long sullenly closed, except to M
occasional visits and these have recently
been very frequent. / often fly ,hiher as
to a refuge from the insipid and enc, vatrg
rounds of idleness and dissipation. Here
the drawing room is my favor,e haunt
it was furnished in the true taste of 1860.
Several devices in rehev0, of exquisite
workmanship, adorned the chimney piece:
the hangings were principally composed Of
Scripture pieces, family paintings and he
raelry. Passing, however, over the profu-
sion of antique lumber with which this "a
partment is filled, | will only notice an an
cient couch, on which | used to recline, 50
years ago, with my old granddad, and hear
him, with vast attention, talk Of the re-
gulars,' and describe the battles of Bunk
er's-Hill, Monmouth, &c. till I often fell,
involuntarily, into the arms of Somnus, and
left the old codger responding with the
crickets. He and his much honored spouse.
with the principal part Of their household,
having been long gathered to their fathers,
and again reclined on the same old couch,
and in the same apartment, where, with
them, many of my inian,ile hours were
passed away-she awful silence which
reigns forever here, and the natural retro.
spection, which the mind takes on things
that zuere--especiially amidst the obsolete
trappings that surround me, all contribute
to- hllme with sensations altogether undcs-

Ane~oi auld Clootie's muckle host,
An yelpin choir,
Sic as he keeps to shelp and roast
W. brunstane FIRE:
Did We but ken the pangs feel
To lay and list your cursed squeel,
Ye wad ma grind anisher peal
Sac harsh and deep;
But gang in pity to the dell,
An let me sleep.
There is ma musick in your din,
Nay, sic a discord We begin,
Ye Jar the very windows in
WI tortured tune;
IF murder be deadly sin,
YEN rue it soon.
To please the dell auld Orpheus played,
And for his wife i'hddlin paid,
OH dophin's tail Aron rade,
The pillows stripin,
Bath drew the oaks frae hill to glade
BY dint o'ppin-
But We we'd do thing greater still
Your noise would drown water mill,
Ye'd scare the woods and split the hill,
Sac great your power;
And any mortal wight ye'd kill
In half an hour.
If pilgrimage to holy shrine
Wad slap your unco glatln whine,
Or souse ye in the Red Seas brine
For aye to sleep;
Right soon I'd make the penance mine,
And think it cheap.
But if ye heed nor prayer ror spell
AND Wilma slap that cronking yell
For poor bard can sing or tell,
Or ony boon;
III try il brickbats can avail
To change your tune.
