denomnated by the poet ''the saddest of the

pensive and often gloomy feelings that pervade
the thinking mind at this season of the year |?
In the true lover of nature, the cause may
readily be traced to asympathzing heart. He
who has watched her, from the first blooming
OF her sPring-iime flowers, through the blos-
somiDg OF her summer roses; who caught
glimpse at her earliest budding plant, and OBJ

PRETTY GOOD.

The Editor Of the Knickerbocker Magazine
generally manages to fill his ''Table" with mat
ter of the most 1aughter-provoking character
Among the good things contained in that ster-
ling periodical for the present month, we find the
foliowiDg:-
"We have often heard Of persons talking with
angry vehemence to inanlmaie objects which dis
pleased them and we have even heard of these
objects being put upon their good BEHAVIOUR as
in the case of the sailor who reminded his staunch
craft, when she was sailing beautifully before the
wind, that if she would behave equally well du-
ring the voyage, she should have handsome
coat of paint the very day after she arrived at her
destined port. One of the best things of this
| kind, however, which we remember 10 have
heard, was told us the other day by friend,
whom no good thing ever escapes. vessel in
the Mediterranean, loaded 10 the gunwale with
rich cargo of figs. was wrecked in tremendous
storm; the captain and mate being saved by a
miracle. The next day, by one of its sudden
changes, the blue ocean was as smooth as glass ::
scarcely cat's-paw of wind could be traced as
| far as the eyes could reach. The captain of the
wrecked vessel, however, walking along the
coast near Lisbon, surveyed the scene with a
jaundced eye. 'Oh yes said he mighty still

A GOOD ONE.

A correspondent Of the "New Y DIRK Spirit"
relates the following
"Some years since, a North Carolina Law
yer, yet living, undertook to convince a
Methodist preacher of some celebrity, that his
manner Of preaching, in threatening his audi
tors with Illumination, was injudicious and
that arguments and exhortations Of a milder
character, would be more successful. After
listening patiently, the preacher replied-aMy
friend, you are mistaken. Sin is like ter

FROM THE PHILADELPHIA ENQUIRER.
N e " e r NV K UP
AN INCIDENT OF REAL LIFE.

'Never give up it is wiser and better
Always TO hope than to despair;
Fling oil the load of Doubts cankering fctter
And break the dark spell OF tyrannical care
Never give up! or the burden may sink YOU
Providence kindly has mingled the cup,
And In all the trials or troubles, bcthink you,
The watchword of life must be- Never give up -
We recently published a capital song, entitled
"Never give up" A passage is quoted above.
There is manly energy in the doctrine that we
should not permit ourselves to be overcome by
commonplace or even extraordinary reverses of
fortune. "Never say die''-s'never give up''--
are capital notices, with regard to enterprise,
business, and the things of this life generally
Ii we give way TO depression of spirits, and, at
the first reverse abandon the chase of fortune as
hopeless, we will soon sink into dependency,
gloom, ldleness, and perhaps vice. But let us
determine that, come what may, we will struggle
on, that, while life and health remain, we will
sui make an effort to achieve independence, and
In majority of cases, sooner or later, success
will come.
A friend stepped into our office, day or two
ago, and in the course Of conversation, related an
incident well calculated TO illustrate the force and
Propnety OF energy and perseverance. He had
visited Washington, few weeks before, and,
while standing in Pennsylvania avenue, gazing
at some object of interest, he was accosted by
a stranger, as one ne had seen and known in
All !--nqured the other-when and where ?
Alter some conversation, in the course of which
degree OF confidence was inspired between the
two parties, 1t turned out that the stranger had
reference to period of twenty years before, in
PhlladelPhia--tbat he was then a poor boy, and
was in the habit of visiting the workshop at
which the other was engaged, for the purpose Of
collecting chips and shavngs. The kind man
ner OF the apprentice had made favorable impress
slons upon the heart and mind of the then bare
looted urchin, and, although period of quarter
OF century had elapsed, he recognized the friend
OF his early days at glance, and was anxious in
some way to testify his appreciation of the kind.

THE MQCKING BIRD.

Bird of tho wild and wondrous song,
hear thy rich and varied voice,
Swelling the greenwood depths among,
Till hill and vale the while rejoice
Spellbound, cntranccd in rapture's chain,
list to that inspiring strain
i tread the forests tangled maze
The thousand choristcrs to sec,
Who mingled thus their voices raise,
In that delicious minstrclsy
search in vain each pause between
The choral band is still unseen!
IT'S but the music Of dream
An airy sound that mocks the ear
But bark again the eagles scream;
1t rose and fell, distinct and clear
And list-in yondcr hawthorn bush,
The redbird, robin, and the thrush
Lost in amaze look around,
Nor thrush, nor eagle there behold
But still that rich aerial sound,
Like some forgotten song of old
That DER the heart has held control,
Falls swcctly on the rayished soul 4,
And yet, the woods are vocal still
The air is musical with song
O'er the near strcam--abovc the hill
The wildcring notes are borne along
But whence that gush of rare delight?
And what art thou or bird or spritc
Perch'd on yon naples topmost bough,
With glancing wings and restless feet,
Bird of untiring throat, art thou
Sole songstcr in this concert sweet,
So perfect, full, and rich each part,
1t mocks the highest reach of art
Once more, once more, that thrilling strain
Ill-omcn'd owl, be mute, be mute ,
Thy native notes hear again,
More sweet than harp lovers Lutte /;
Compared with thy impassioned tale,
How cold, how tame, the nightingale
Alas capricious in thy power
Thy "wood-note wild' again is fled
The mimic rules the changefu hour,
And all the "soul of song'' is dead.
But no-to every borrowed tone,
He lends a sweetness all his own!
On glittcring wing, erect and bright,
With arrowy speed he darts aloft.
AS tho his soul had taken its flight,
In that last strain so sad and soft,
And he would call it back to life,
To minglc in the mimic strife
And ever, to each fitful lay
His frame in restless motion wheels,
AS tho he would indeed essay
TO act the ccstacy he feels
As tho his very feet kept timo
To that inimitable chime
And ever, as the rising moon
Climbs with full orb the trees above,
He sings his most enchanting tune,
While echo wakes thro' all the grove
His descant sootbcs in cares despite,
The weary watches of the night
The sleeper from his couch starts up
To listen to that lay forlorn-
And he who quaGs the midnight cup
Looks out to sec the purpling morn !
o. ever in the merry spring,
Sweet mimic, let me hear thee sing

lasted have deserted him, aud as their adder
tongues were once nippant in his praise,
so now are they industriously engaged i'll
spreading his faults and fall to the world.
That the drunkard is happy, his whole
appearance denies. He may steep his soul
in the Leathean draught, until forgetfulness
creeps over his stnpefied senses, and for
time renders HIM dead to the owlul conse-
quences of his course; but the spell IS
soon broken, and he awakes but to feel
the more keenly the knawing Of the worm
within. There is to the drunkard no peace,
no happiness, no hope. He feels the full
weight of the curse which, like an incubus,
presses him to the earth, and W; he clings
to his destroyer until, with all the horrors
of death produced by inebriation, he sinks
to fill an ignominIous grave, unwept and
unmourned. His suferings on earth are
ended; but is it so with the family who
have just consigned him to the tomb? They
yet live to feel the blight and mildew of a
drunkard's heritage.
1t is reflection we'll calculated to i'm
press the free mind with the deepest emo
tons, and the thought is forced home
who would be drunkard! No one surely
ever commenced life with the remotest idea
that such would be his end: yet thousands
of those who once only partook of the ex-
hilirating beverage of fashions shrine, now
feel the full weight Of the drunkard's woe
the drunkard's curse
"Look not upon the wine when it is red
in the cup, when it moveth itself Alright
at last it bileth like serpent and stingeth
like an adder"
