Here lies his form in ri,
Beneath this bank with briars eycrgrown,
How many characters as worthless, lie
Meath some importing stone
Nor column points our loss:
MOI giaring eop invite us froin afar
Although he lived a follower Of the cross.
And member of the bar.
IT'S whispered through the street
For SANDERS fangs our purest men assail--
That every time he'd print a holy sheet,
He puli'd the deUil's tail.
The Pandemonian king
Give him due reverence, but a monk or biar,
Would check the melody he used TO sing,
When busy with his quire.
The golden rule he priced,
And left it as a token Of his love
And all his deeds, corrected and revised,
Are registered above.
Though now in deaths en- brace
A Wondering heap our luckless brother lies;
He'll ~ro-appear on Gabriel's royal chase,
And frisk-it to the skics.

IT'S THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER
IT'S the last day of Sammcr,
Now fading away,
As behind yon blue mountain,
The sun hides its ray ;
And the low breeze is signing,
So chilly and drear,
That, methinks, the wood whispers.
Stern Autumn il near!
IT'S the last day Of Summer,
And sad is the smile,
That now lights up the gloom,
Where il fingers awhile;
Whilst the cloud hat is wrcathing,
So gaily the west,
But reveals by its brightness,
The tempest's dark crest.
IT'S the last day of Summer,
And feet as its ray
Hath departed, so fleetly
Doth life speed away,
But beyond this drear gloom,
Is a resting place given,
Where the spirit shall bask,
Ia tho summer Of Heaven.

Pohatchong Mountain, about a mile and
a half IN a south west direction from the
village of Mansfield. II is commonly called

forgotten its botanical name, as also the
class and order TO which it belongs.-We
have never seen IT in summer, hut at this

leaves which remain upon it,. Durinp
frosty nights OF autum two leaves of ice
spring from opposite sides Of the stem
near the surface Of the ground. which are
generally melted off during the day and
again renewed at night. These ice leaves
are OF the lanceolar form, three or four in.
ches long, one hall or three quarters of an
inch broad, and half a line ia thickness

formations may be obtained by imagining

frosty weather are frequently observed in
pioughed fields where the soil is wet and
graveily. II is many years since we came

the mountains and have never since had

we ever been able to meet with a single
