ENGgTcaU e.. EsaY5es,

Has just been removed from the office
OF Postmaster at CooperstowA, Otsego
county, aud Robert Darts appointed in
his stead. Mr.. Barber was the able and
efficient Editor Of the OIsego Republican,
a leading Wing paper, up to the Inaugura-
ton of Gen. Harrison, when, at the unani-
nous request Of the " higs, he was ap-
pointed Postmaster at Cooperstown, and
al once gave up his paper. He had the
Office little over year. when he finds
himself thrust out for Robert Darts, one
OF the bItterest and bascst Loco Focos in
that benightcd county, who, we see it
stated in The newspapers, was guilty of the
black outrage Of hanging General Harri-
son in cDsy before his own door in 1870.

From the Southern Literary Messenger.
"Call them, let me see them"
MACBETH.
] see them now--I see them all
The shadowy tram Of by-gone days
On Memory's mirror see them fall
With still increasing rays.
The playmates of my childhcod's hours!
With undimn'd eye and unburnt cheek
Natures young and starry flowers
| almost hear them speak.
And that ,rweet girl now woman grown
Now Vuniehing with fairy tight
Like bloom and blossom, fruit all gone
Alas The early blight.
Companion Of maturer years
With laurel'd brow---where Genius placed
The zeal which still each heart endears
And never was disgraced.
] see thee too whose every look
Impaired JOYS rpurest rays
Tnou'rt goue--u rose Leaf on a brook
Form'd, seen, then swept away.
On. on still glide the airy crowd !
With noiseiess footstcp till they move;
The good, the bright, the sad, the proud,
One "hatlo,red form" Of Lore !
A gloom is swelling OH my brain,
A darkness deepens in my breast
That thus recalld, the mirror'd train
Should sadden,at the best.
'Twere better far the glass to SILVER,
Than joys revlv'd to dim with tears,
To steep in Lethe's wave forever
All thoughts of by-gone years.
