Winter cometh see the trees
Wear no more their robes Of green
Hark! the pinching northern breeze
O'er the world is whistling keeni
1t hath left a region where
Winter ever reigns supreme;
Snow-built castles tower in afr
Icy spires resplendant gleaml
Winter comethl from the land,
Smiling Summer hath not seen;
Hath not spread with tasteful hand
Der its hills a mantle green.
No clear brooklets wander there
No lovely howrets grow;
And cast their fragrance on the air,
In those wide wastes OF snow.
Winter comethl on my ear
Falls the rafting Of his car,
And his piping voice hear,
AS he hurrieth from afar.
He shall soon assert his reign
Where but lately Summer smiled,
Spread his robe DER hill and plain,
And solitary wild.
Winter comethl little rill,
Thy glad song must cease again;
The voice of tempest loud and shrill,
Shall be our only music then.
1t shall pipe a requiem long,
DER The desolation here,
Ere gain thy merry song
Bursts upon the gladden'd ear.
Winter comethl harki bewarel
3 He's a fearful chap | ween,
Blooming fops and bellies, take care,
Winter loveth nothing green!
Cloaks and furs in time provide,
Ere he greets you with his storms;
Harkl he seemeth to deride
Now, your fraiI and shivering forms!
Winter cometh gifts impart,
For the poor are with US still;
Let no winter Of the heart,
Kind and generous feelings chill.
Make a summer in the souls
OF those who humbly crave your aid,
BY him who winters rage controls,
Shall the kindness be repaid.

P O Il Y
A Legal Ballad.
BY j. G. SAKE.


An attorney was taking turn
In shabby habilments dressed;
His coat was shockingly worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His breeches had suffered breach,
His linen and worsted were worse;
He had scarce whole crown to his hat,
And not half crown in his purse.
And thus, he wandered along,
A cherries and comfortess elf,
He sought for relief in song,
Or complaningly talked to himself
"Most unfortunate man that am,
My only client is grief
The case is, I've no case at all,
And in brief, have ne'er had brief
"The professions already so full
Ofawyers so full of profession,
That a modest young man like myself
Can't make the smallest impression.
'They grant Pm acquainted with grants,
Can devise devise or plea,
Can make good deed in fee simple
But ] can't get the simplest 'iee."
'I've waited, and waited in vain;
Expected an opening TO find,
Where an honest young lawyer might gain
Some reward for the toll of his mind"
While he thus wandered along,
His eye accidentally fell
On very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to himself, ut is wELLn
10 curb his emotion, he sat
On the curb stone, the space of a minute,
Then cried, Here's an opening at last
And in less than jiffy was in it.
Next day twelve citizens came,
The 'coroner's' inquest to attend;
To the end that it might be determined
How that man had determined his end.
"The man was lawyer, it seems,",
Said the foreman, who opened ofcourso;
"A lawyer aas!" sighed another,
ale undoubtedly died ofremorse"
A third said che knew the deceased
An attorney, well versed in the laws;
And as to the cause of his death,
Twas no doubt for want of cause"
The crowners' at length gave verdict
Which finally settled the matter;
t'.rhat the young man was drownded, b
cause
He could not keep his head above water
