TIE FALLEN LEAVES.
BY THE HON. MRS. NORTON.

We stand among the fallen leaves,
Young children at our play,
And laugh to see the yellow things
Go rusting on their way;
Right merrily we hunt the down,
The Autumn winds and we,
Nor pause to gaze where snow-drilts lie.
Or sun beams gild the tree.
With dancing feet we leap along,
Nhere,with I'd bounhs are strown;
Nor past nor future checks our songs
The present is cur own.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In youths enchanted SPRING
When Hope (who wearies at the Ias,)
First spreads her eagle vino.
We tread with steps OF conscious strenptl
Beneath the ieaiiess trees,
And the colo kindles in our cheeks
AS blows the winter breeze
While, gazing towerd the cold cr ev skv.
Ciouded with snow and rain.
We wish the old year all past bv,
AND the young spring come again.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In manhood's naughty prime
"nen first our pausing hearts begjn
10 love ":he o!den time;''
Ana, as we gaze, we si.rh TO think
How many year hath pass'd
Since meath those old and faded trees
Our footsteps wandered last;
And Old companions-now perchance
Estranged, forgot, or dead
come round US, Us those autumn leaves
Are crusn'd beneath our tread.
We stand among the fallen leaves
IN our ONyS autumn
AND, tott'rlng on with feeble steps,
Pursue our cherries way.
we look not back-too long ago
Hath all we loved been lost:
Nor forward-for we may not live
10 see our new hope cross'd:
But on we go--the SUMS faint beam
feeble warmth i-apa.ts-
Childhood without lis joy returns
The present fills our heats,

Jefferson. from Madison. from Munroe, and
from Adams jun; he was elected Senator in
Congress by the Legislature ofOhio. & Rep
:esen,a,ive by the people OF Hamilton, The
declaration Of MIR Grundy, therefore. is
equivalen, TO saying, that Washington and
his five next successors, the Legislature, and
the people Of Hamilton, are "nobody."-

him wise. prudent and brave" Of course
he is nobody" MIR Niles. The newly ap-
pointed Postmaster General. wrote life OF
Perry in which Gen II. received the mos.
fa,iering notices Mr. Niles is ''nobody."-
Neither is Mr. Richie, who recommended the
General for Secretary of War, many years
since. A Congress of,he United States vo-
ted him medal and the Legislatures OF
Kentucky returned him votes ofthanks. But.
says MIR Grundy, they are all "nobodies. -
Less than four years ago some millions Of
people voted him for President They were
"nobodies." too. We might 60 on for an
hour, or day, with Mr. Grundy's mo
