From The Nev World.
THE FIRST SNOW STORM.

BY EPEs SARGENT.
Asfor the first wild flowers,
II the early time Of Spring
AS for the sum, er shower,
When eaIthis languishing-
As for the rainboW's blending 3d..
As for the day stars glow
have watched for the descending
OF the Winters virgin Snow 81.
It comes on pinions airy
The gentle fakes alight,
Like the torn plumes of fairy,
Or the fruit-tree blossoms white;
With nndulating motion
They float and kiss the ground,
And melt into the ocean
Without breathing sound .....
Why watch thus the falling
Ofthe first December snow?
Because its mystic calling
Is the voice Of long ago. ..
Because it ever blendeth
With the memories of the boy
Each fake as it descendeth,
Enshrouds perished joy!
Oh! for those days when rushing
Into the snowy air,
felt the free wild gushing
OF spirit without care!
How through the drifts that wh.tened
Our window silIs at home,
dashed with heart Enlightened,
Like dolphin through the ioaml
And then the merry ringing
Of the sleigh bells at the door,
And the Winter evening, bringing
4 thousand pleasures more!
And the dear friends who surrounded
My fathers liberal hearth,
And the old songs that resounded,
And the hours ofblameless mirth.
Alas! Snow of December.
These Joys thou dost recall,
But with them | remember,
They shall no more befall!
Companions have departed,
With whom that season fled
And some are broken hearted
And some are with the dead!
