THE YANKEE.

A Yankee is Yankee over the globe ; and you might know him, if you met him on the mountains of the moon," in five minutes, by his nationality. We love and honor him for it, where it is not carried to a binding prejudice. He remembers his school house, the peculiar discipline in which he was reared, the place where he played, skated, and bathed in his blithe morning of life, where are the ashes of his forefathers, and where he was baptised, and married. Wherever he ''trades and traffics," on distant seas, rivers, or moun- tains, he will only forget his native accent and his natal spot, when his right hand forgets that cunning for which he has such an undeserved celebrity.

4 MAY MORNING.-DAWN. Throw up the window. 'Tis morn for life h its most subtitle luxury. The air
 Is like breathing from the rarer world; And the South wind seems liquid, it o'er-steals My bosom and my brow so bathingly!
 1t has come over gardens and the flowers . That kissed it are betrayed; for, as it parts With its invisible fingers my loose hair' Iknow it has been trifing with the rose, And stopping to tie violet. There is joy For all Gods creatures in it. The wet leaves Are stirring at ;;s touch, and birds are singing, As ito breathe were music; and the grass Sendg up its modest oder with the dew, Like the small tribute of humility. Lovely indeed is morning; have drunk Its fragrance and its freshness, and have felt Its delicate touch, and 'tis kindlier thing Than music, or a feast, or medicine.

THE SOUTHERNER.

The Southefner is much the same over the whole globe. You may know him by his olive or brown complexion, on which the sun has looked in his wrath. You may see in his countenance the tinge of bill- ious impress, and that he has inhaled mic asma and breathed morning and evening fogs. You may note in his peculiar gait, and in his erect and lofty port, that he has compared himself with an inferior race of human beings, as they have walked before him to their daily task. His generous dis regard of expense and economy as he trav- els; his spirit, ardent and yet generous, " sudden and quick in quarrel" his proud preference of his own country, his pecul. far dialect, his reckless disregard of con- seuuences. and a variety ot mixed traits seen ina moment, and yet difficult to de- scribe. mark him even to an unobservan eve. as .
