THE INDIAN SUMNER.

From Dr. NJ Henry'S WaLthaan."
Twas noon, and mild and beauteous shone the day,
For meek November sm'd as sweet as May!
As from a easement Ellen and her sire,
An Indian-summer's lingering charms admire,
Which Freedoms land can more serenely cheer;
Than all the seasons of the circling year.
IT'S true, the woods gay verdure is Withdrawn;
The faded leaves lie scattered Ger the lawns
IT'S true, the maize, the pride Of culturd fields,
No more its fring'd and tasseld grandeur yields;
Nor the wild warblerss of the earlier year,
From woodland coverts hill and valley cheer;
Yet the bright kindlier glory sheds,
Ger heavens cxpanse milder azure spreads,
Save when the ruddy morn, or balmy eve,
Through screens of downy mist his smiles receive.
Then Bits e. ethereal gauze before the view,
And shews the moving scene in purple hue "A
The mountain glimmers through the prospect dim,
Rocks, woods and streams in fairy landscapes swim,
More sprightly zephyrs Wanton in the shades
Aud livelier wild-deer bound along the glades;
And fresher springs than summer heats allow,
Yield purer dews and sweeter murmurs now
Now wandering birds in airy journeys rove,
And beasts disportiDg, march IN many drove;
All animation joys to be alive,
And dying swasms to sweeter life revive -
A sacred feeling, grateful and serene,
= At natures cheering gray and fading green,
Ger mans pleased soul epyenng influence throws,
As oft lfe's lamp burns brighter at its close, ~
And much it feels this Pennsy lvanian charm,
Whose smiles the years declining age can warm!

of this Society, was held in this town on the
| 10th inst. When the circumstances attending
it arc taken into view, it may Justly be consd-
cred the most satisfactory and gratifying exf1i-
bition of the kind that we ever had. The
whole of the day previous, and the Gay of the
show, till into the afternoon, were unusually
stormy and Indictment, to that degree that an
almost entire failure of the show was antici-
pated by many. But the result has shown that
those who have looked upon these exhibitions
merely as fair weather shows, or as holiday
sport, to be dispensed with for triAing cause,
have mistaken both the object of the Society,
and the depth of the interest which they have
excited. Notwithstanding the torrents of rain
which were poured down upon us, the exhi-
bltlon, as whole, is believed to have been
equal, if not superior, to that of any former

solid, and yet more supple. This bark is
the best substance for making ink mixed

liquor drawn from this bark appears blue
