THE SONG OF NIGHT.

AAAI ROlN0 vi ANA041A
When the sun sinks in the sea,
And the world is left to me,
Ispangle Heavens canopy
And call the stars to light.
The fragrant blossom of the rose,
With he evenings breeze close,
While wearied mortals seek repose,
And welcome, welcome night!
Guardians senses | can steep,
Ina deep oblivious sleep,
That lovers may their vigils keep
Unseen of mortal sight;
When the modest maid reveals,
The tender fame her bosom feels,
Who is it that her blush concealsl
Why prudent, prudent night!
Swiftly DER the milky way,
Venus will my call obey
TO realize the dreams Of day
In joys that give delight:
And when Aurora's beamings tell
The time to break loves magic spell,
The dream to which we bid farewell
Returns-returns--with night!
All, yes! the starlight and the moon
Are the suns of Cupid's noon,
And night shall be tine lovers boon,
& While love burns true and bright.
Then who would ever wish for day?
Or, while | thus exert my sway,
Who is there that would wish to say
Good-bye-good- -bye--to-nighta

The Cincinnati Sun, auding to the fact
that the little town of Birkwell, on the Orkney
Islands, isighted with gas, takes occasion to
say that "Cincinnati is not lighted with any
thing" ltis certainly their own fault, if the
people Of that city are invisible TO each other
during the night, for no place in this whole
blessed hemisphere has such facilities forlight.
Every man, woman and child, might carry a.
lighted pigs tail in the hand, without increas-
ing the price of pork the lowest fraction Of a
penny. Perhaps they prefer darkness rather
than light because" &c. They may fill out
the qnotatlon,.ia suit themselyes.--Bo Boston
Tunes.
The tail of "a lighted pig" is a species Of
caudcular appendage which does not grow
in this climate, and every other kind Of pig tail
finds ready market In yankee land. 7-Half
the Bostonians chew pig tail instead Of tobac-
CO because it is cheaper. o the smooth faced,

Let every one ofyou who advocate duellne
read the following from one of Bennet's late
letters. Itisno less severe than Just. Speak
ing OF the modern code of chiyalry, he says,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri are its
chosen land. 1t is only of late years that it
has come over the mountains, and planted its
standard in Washington. The beau ideal Of
the gentleman, according to this new code of
honor, is the s,rangest monster that ever was
imagined. He h armed to the teeth--wears
steel under his waiscoat--has his pockets filled
with pistols-and his bosom with bowie
knives. Rifles, blunderbusses, every species
of weapon is authorized. His choisest Ian
guage to his foe is g scoundrel," "puppy" ell
ar" and "poltroon." He threatens all the
right arms, and walks Penn.
sylvania Avenue in search of conflicts. In
Congress the same language, threats, &c. are
used. How different is all this from the cour-
te,us demeanor, and the chaste language Of
the southern andInorthern gentlemen Of former
Sun.

DARLINGTON, THE PIcKPocKET.--At one of
the music meetings, in ST. Martins church,
for the benefit of the Leicester Infrmary,
noticed tall, handsome man, in scarlet
coat with gold button-hole in black collar,
the fashion ofthe day, moving with gentle
manllke air. This person proved to be the
notorious Darlington, the pickpocket. In 60
ing up the middle aisle, he was invited into
mayors pew, and sat between Miss st. John
and MIR. Ashby, of Queenby, our late Member
ofParliament. One Of the plates was held at
the door by this lady and gentleman, and when
Mr. Darlington laid his guinea upon the plate,
he was kindly thanked by his new acquaint-
ance, and passed on with graceful bow.
The gentry who held the plates retired into
the vestry, to add to their contributions, and
when MIR. Asbby would have placed his
ten guneas on the pla,e, TO his utter astonish-
ment, they had flown from, his pocket. After
considerable amazement, the mystery was ex-
planned by one ofthe company's remarking that
Miss st. Johns pocket was turned inside out;
and that the elegant gentleman who sat be-
tween them had helped himself to the sub
scription he had put on the plate, and some
thing beside. Itis said that Darlington ia
cllitated his operations by instruments, which
he had made for the purpose. Irecollect cir
cumsfance of this kind. He waited upon a
surgical instrument maker, and ordered pair
Of scissors, of a curious form; a few days af-
terward, he called for them, liked them, and
paid two guineas, Which the maker charged.
Afterh he had left the shop, the cutters wife
said, FMy dear, as the gentleman seemed SO
pleased With the scissors, | wish we had asked
him what Ilse thew ware for--he mjoht recom. |

carried their resolution into such vigorous

Fox, then they inquired Of them as to the con-
