List to the wild winds waihng
Through forests lone;
Telling of flowers decaying,
With saddened tone.
Nature seems whispering round thee,
Thy transient stay,
Thy Joyous summer hours,
Where, where are they.
The stream bears on its bosom
Thy faded flowers,
That flourlshed once beside thee,
In sunny hours.
A sound is with its murmur-
A saddening breath,
That seems requiem given
For summers death.
Pale is each grove, and bower,
And rustling leaf,
Proclaim its fleeing hour,
Its stay so brief,
And Autumn's frowning storm clouds
Around thee lower,
It's tell of thy departure,
And wintry hour.
Enrewell! but theu art cherished,
In memory's urn;
And round thee oft shall cluster
Light, in its turn.
And may that Ii ght around me-
Like music's breath,
Be, like a trembling harp string,
Still sweet in death.

that neighhol hood as McCoy's Cave, when
one Of the gentlemen, observing that the
floor of small apartment which they were
in, sounded as though there was hollow
beneath, he searched carefully Tor an aper-
ture, and at length found a large salactte
that had evidently fallen from above he
removed it with the assistance of the COM
pany with him, and saw an or ening about
thirty inches in diameter. They attached
a lamp 10 q number of handkerchie's tie /
together and lowered it as far as they would
reach-and saw that the bottom was no
more than ten or eleven feet below them
The light was SO dim that nothing could be
Observation-Disclosures. they Immediately
lowered a small ladder that had been bro'.
for the purpose of exploration and one of
the gentlemen descended; he stepped on
an object that was unlike the rocks in other
parts of the cave, and upon looking at it,
discovered to his horror, that it was the
BODY Of man.

knee Ohe remainder Of The BODY being

1t was dressed with a pair OF buck-skin

four buttons; stockings that seemed to have
been made Of yarn, bul only small por-

attached, and u broad fat gold key with Il
steel barrel.
In his pocket were several pieces of sill

smaller one, besides two trunk keys, with
a ring to tasten them together. Many
speculalions were made as 10 the probable
time OF his death, all conceded in the opi
Mon that he had fallen through the opening
at some period long before, where, unable
TO get out, he persisted.
