From the Great Western.
LOVE is LIKE THE SUMNER ROSE
Oh, love is like The summer rose
That blossoms when the sunbeam giows--
But when the tempest rusles past,
Its leaves are scattered on the blast
Or by the ram drops beaten down,
They fall and wither on the ground.
Oh, love is like meteor's light,
That flashes mid the gloom Of night:
Seen like foam upon the river,
One moment--and then gone forever,
GIares wildly from the zenilh's height,
Down into everlasting night.
Oh, love is like the flatteiing CLEAN
OF sunlight on the silent stream;
How sweet and quiet seems its rest,
Upon the lakes unrufiled breast
When low black clouds obscure the sky,
And now the sunbeams quickly fly.
Oh, love is like the purple dye,
Ofsunset on summer sky;
All rich and gorgeous in its hue,
But swiftly fading from the view
Leaves darkness with its sombre men,
To reign in silence DER the scene.
Yes! love is like The summer rose!
The meteor's light that ferccly glows--
The fading of the fiful CLEAN,
Tha, sparkles on the silent steam;
And like the purple lines that Ito
At sunset on a summer sky.
The things which soonest change or flee,
Are types OF loves Inconsistency;
Born OF glance from beau,y's eye,
A burning kiss-a tender sigh,
Reigns for an hour with DIES pot rtle.
Then sinks into obIiIlnn's pool.

SLEIGHlNG AND COURTING.
BY Mr.. SAMUEL SLICK.

bf MKs SAMUEL SLICK.
This must be an everlasting fine
country, beyond all doubt, for the folks
have nothing to do but to ride about
and talk politics. In the winter, when
the ground is covered with snow, what
grand times they have slayin over
these here marshes with the gals. or
playin ball on the ice, or going to quill
tin lrolics ofnice long winter evenings,
and then drivin home like mad BY
moonlight. Natur made that season
on purpose for counting. A little tidy
scrumptous looking slay, a real clipper
ola horse, a string ofbells as long as
string ofinions rond his neck, and
sprig on his back, looking for all the
world like a bunch Of aples broke off
at gatherin time, and sweetheart along
side, all muffled up but her eyes and
lips-the one lookin right into you, and
the other talking right at you--is cen
most enough to drive one ravin taring,
distracted mad with pleasure, amt ii?
And then the dear critters says the bells
make suck din there's no hearin ones
selfspeak; so they put their pretty lit
tie mugs up close to your face, and talk.
talk, talk, till one can't help looking
right at them, instead of the horses, and
then whap you both go capsized into a
snow-drift together, skins, cushions.
and all. And then to see the little
critter shake herself when she gets up,
like a duck from a pond, chatterin a.
way all the time like canary bird, and
you haw-hawin with pleasure, is fun
alive, you may depend. In this way
teller gets on to offer himselfas a low.
ier afore he knows where he bees.

The excavation on the site of the old
Calaboose continued yesterday, bu. with
out making any new discoveries. Owing
TO the quantity Of mud and water that had
oozed into the cavern, very little progress
was made. 1t is well ascertained that the
subterranean apartment was built for a
dungeon. We trust that our public au-
thorities will have the passage fully ex.
plored. AS matter Of curiosity and anti
quarian researh, it is well worth the ex.
pense and trouble. The most probable
conjecture we have heard, is that the
prison, now so deep under ground, was,
when first constructed, on the surface.
which seventy years ago, was much lower
than it is now. Since that, the ground has
been gradually raised, by process in
different parts of the city, until the dun
geon is buried many feet below the level
of the street. Whether there be any truth
in this surmise, tits difficult to say. This
much however, is quite certain, that i. is
altogether MYSTERIOUS affair. As such,
we commend the investigation to the anti
quarian and the curious.-N. o. Bulletin.
Crdtitude.--A celebrated advocate. be-
ing on the point Of death, made his will
and bequeathed all his wealth to idiots and
lunatics. On being asked the rea-
son, he replied that he wished to return
his riches to those from whom he had
drawn them.
