POETRY

THE FOUNTAIN OF MEMORY.

TWIN fttAF Va
"Come to the fount with mel
LIES glittering pleasures are on the wing
But fill the cup from the magical spring.
The fountain Of Memory
Then. tho they pass away,
Remembrance will color hours gone by
With many deeper and richer dye,
And gid diem with Fancy's ray.
Come to the fount with me,
Life's all drcam-but the past will show
a holier sights purer glow
BY the power Of Memory"
will not drink from the magical spring.
No JOY TO me past hours bring.
There are some smiles, but many tears
There are some hopes, but many fears
There is some light, but far more gloom
Over the sickened soul to come
For mine has been a maynard fate,
Where Hope has come, but all too late,
My brow was wrcsthcd for the festival,
But one by one the blossoms fell;
And ere the sound Of the dance was done.
The wreath was there, but the flowers gone.
Ny heart was once with music stored,
And pleasure rang in each full chord;
But Fate too rudely touched the string
And il thril'd with joys last quiyering.
Gone are its breathing melodies,
Aud all unstrung and broke il lies.
Then shall now live DER in thought
a dream with gloom and sorrow iraughts
shall awaken new regret?
No-ratheT teach me TO forget.
But life has had bright gifts for thee
Then deeply drink from Memory. 8. ii.

AN ADVENTURE.


The "Philadelphia Gazette" relates the fol-
lowing recent adventure, on the part of Major
IIurlck, the noted Militia Fine Collector.
"On Wednesday afternoon, he was
observed in the vicinity of Noble and
Front street, with roll of Militia Bills,
and his eternal green bag, and no SOON
er observed than the whole neighbor-
hood was in commotion. The streets
we're filled with men and women, cats
and dogs; the windows were blocked
up with human heads-men left their
business to note the wonderful scene.
For time silence prevailed, and the
multitude awaited the shifting of the
scene in breathless attention. "There
goes Hurlick, at length shouted
yellow headed urchin, which was the
signal for the commencement of a
grand attack. "Hurrah for the mad
dog said another, and fmad dog, mad
dog" was heard in all directions.-
Deal him gently" shouted a third,
following the cry with shower of stale
eggs, from barrel full, which had
bced placed at a convenient spot for
the use ofthe mob. Then ensued such
an uproar as the people of the northern
Liberties never before witnessed.-
Hurlick ran-the mob pursued, shout
ed, and pelted-he entered a private
house, went through, and made his cs-
cape by the back door, but was seen
and followed. He jumped into a pig
pen, but was glad to escape with the
loss of his coat tail. Again he ran and
again he was pursued, the cry of ''mad
dog" still resounded in his ears. As a
last resort, when nearly exhausted, he
opened cellar door and jumped down.
The cellar was half full of water, and
souse went the unhappy collector, up
10 his middle. Here he remained for
some time--the mob seeing the pre-
dlcament i'll which he was placed, mo-
Tested him no further, and after time,
he was taken out and sent home.
