SUMMERS GONE.


Hark through the dim woods dying,
With a moan,
Family the winds are signing
Summers gone
There when my bruised heart feeleth,
And the pale moon her face Tevealeth,
Darkly my footsteps stealeth
To weep alone;
Hour after hour wander
by men unseen
And sadly my young thoughts ponder
On what hath been;
Summers gone
There is our own green bowers,
Long ago,
Our path drought the tangled flowers
Treading slow;
on hand in hand entwininp--
Of side by side reclining
We've watched in lis crimson shining,
The sunset glow
Dimly the sun now burneth
For me alone
Spring after Spring returneth,
Thou art alone;
Summers gone!
Still on my warm cheek playeth,
The restless breeze;
Still in its freshness stayeth
Between the trees
Sill the blue streamlet gusheth--
Still the proud river rusheth--
Still the calm silence husheth
The hearts disease
But who shall bring our meetings
Back again2
What shall recall thy greetings
Loved in vain
Summers gone

nder Sentence Of Death in Moyamensing Eriso
Softly, now the night steals on
All beauty of the day is gone,
Rest from care-from labor free
Oh, Lord, would commune with thee,
Humbly trusting in thy love,
All sin and sorrow to remove.
Naugh, escapes thine all-seeing eye,
Nor wilt thou fail each tear to dry
Come, Lord, and pardon all within
Open faults or secret sin
Light Of day will shortly be
Ever wholly lost TO me
May !, Lord, then dwell above,
And, Heavenly Father, TO thy praise,
Name Father Son and Holy Dovel
Summer is past and gone,
And autumn doth appear,
Leaves dropping, one by one,
Give warning 10 prepare.
May each and every heart,
With love and pity share,
With their poor neIghbors, what
The Lord has given to their care
That the whistng winter wind
May from their dwellings keep,
And that they may not freeze 10 DEATH
While their poor bodies sleep
And when, at last, death shall dsrobe
All of what they have possessed,
May their benefactors meet their Lord,
To dwell forever 6iest!

REVOLUTIONARY "REMINISCENCES.

REfOLU llONaNf NEhlNlCOI-NSG'.
To the Editor Of the Tribune:
On my return from Sharon Springs in Ssptem-
Der last, passing through the County of Mon'gome-
ry, stopped to dine at the beautiful little village
of Glen, now called Chenille, Formerly known as
Voorheesville,) about four miles west of the Me-
hawk river, between Amsterdam and Fonda.
On the steps of the hotel sprighty old
man, leaning on his staff, and relating some inte'
resting incidents of our evenfu revolutionary strug
gle principally some spirt-strring scenes in which
he was an actor-having been either volunteer
or minutc-mau during nearly the whole period o.
the war. He was Il native of the place where he
now resides, formerly Charles,own,) and has lived
there for the last forty years, and IN good nur-
pose as his neat, wsll-arrenged, well fenced ana
we-cultivated farm, which we passed near the VII
age abundantly ,estities, and proving the old gem
,icman to be as good citizea In peace as ne must
have been soldier IN war
But to the story. Among the scenes wildly H.
lated 10y him, and which seemed to renew all MS
youthful ardor, was the following, which do not
remember to have seen in print, and which, with
many others like it, ought TO be lost:
Aiser Gen Lee had been taken prisoner by the
British it was determined By Captain Piatt, who
commanded the corps to which our hero belonged,
To retakc him if po.sisle-at all events Gas Colonel
Miller said at Lundy's Lane) to "try." Cart. T.
Immediately mounted his horse, and rode round
among the regiments of militia stationed at Gran
henry, n. j., soliciting volunteers tor an expedition

IL was understood LSe had been carried, aecompe-
MED by music, axd singing the following Song 10
J.
give the song verbatim as repeated 10 me, copy
ing 1t at the moment with my pencil the back
OF letter. and though it may exhib, the rude lit
erature and imperfect poetry of the time, yet it
shows what for our cause far preferable to lit
erature or poetry-the pure patriotism, and heart-
felt love OF coustr, which then animated brave
countrymen:
Rise up brother minuc.men,
And let vs. bear chorus;
The drawer and the holder we,
The more they will adore
Our Country calls for swords and balls,
Our drums aloud do rattle
Our hfers charms arouse TO arms,
When Freedom call, 10 battle.
There is noble Congressman
Elected for nurses,
And every Jolly farmer will
Asss, US with their purses.
''Bu, let them stay al home, We say,
And enjoy their wives and pleasure,
While we will GO and fight the fec
And save their lives and treasure.
And when do return again,
Ii will be all the glory,
For them tha, de remain at hons,
To hear valiant story.
They will draw near aud glad to hear-
Not doubling at the wonder
That pglaute men, for one to ten
Should bring the Tories under.
