A LAZY MAN.

A worthy old citizen of Newport,
who had the reputation OF being the
lazies, man alive among sthem hi
locks, so lazy indeed, that he used to
weed his garden in a rocking chair. BY
rocking forward to take hold ofthe
weed, and backwards to Nproot it
bad "a way of fishing peculiarly his own.
He used to drive his old white-faced
mare 10 a spo: where the tautog
(black fish) might be depended on for
any weight, from two to twelve pounds
backed his gig down to theswater
side-put out his line, and when the
tautog was safely hooked, started the
old mare, and pulled him out.

A DRUNKEN GENERAL.

A correspondent oftbe New Orleans
Times gives the following account
of Valencia's conduct at Coutreras,
which agrees with what Santa Anna
says of him :-"Valencia was more
than half drunk, and had spent the ear :
ly part of the night in alternate freaks
of good and bad humor; in one minute
cursing, and the next promoting his
officers, and dispensing commissions
on every hand Santa Anna seemed
to be fearful of some accident, and at
one time sent an aid to caution him a
gainst he probable intentions of Gen.
Scott, but old Valencia told the messep-
ger to go to - "a al CARGO, J
he could take care Of his own division
without Santa Annals assistance &c.
Whenever any one Of his own officers
would bring him report of the move
ments of the Americans, he would
drive them from him with curses of
'cowardice,' the worst epilheis in the
vocabulary of Spanish blackguardism.
To this fact is to be attributed, IN a
grea. measure, the quick destruction
of his force, as he was utterly unpse-
pared when the attack was made"

saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like Silence. listening
To silence for no lonely bird would sing
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn,
Nor lowly hedge nor solitary ihorm:-
Shaking his languid locks all dewy bright
With tangled gossamer that fell by night,
Pearling his coronet Of golden corn.
Where are the songs of Summer?-With the
sun,
Op'ning the dusky eyelids Of the South,
Till shade and silence waken up as one,
And Morning sings with warm odorous
month
Where are the merry birds?-Away, a way.
On painting wings through the incement skies,
Lest owls should prey
Undazzled at noon day,
And tear with horny beak their lustrous eyes.
Where are the blooms of summer?--ln the
West,
Blushing theirlast to the last sunny hours,
When the mild Eve by sudden Night is prest
Like fearful Prosegpine, snached from her
flowers
To most gloomy breast.
Where is the pride of summer---the green
prime
The many, many leaves all .winkling?-
Three
On the messed elm; three on the naked lime
Irembling-and one upon the old oak tree!
Where is the Dryad's Immortality
Gone into mournful cyprus and dark yew,
s Or wearing thelong gloomy winter through
In the smooth holly's green eternity.
The squirrel gloats DE- his accomplished
hoard,
The ants have brimmed their gamers with
ripe grain,
And honey bees have stored
The sweets of Summer in their ilucious cells
The swallows all have winged across the
main;
But here the Autumn melancholy 'dwells,
And signs her tearfulspels
Amongst the sunless shadows Of the plain.
Alone, alone,
Upon amossy stone,
She sits and reckons:up the dead and gone,
With the last leaves for ove-rosary,
Whilst all the withered world looks drearily,
Like dim picture of the drowned past
Inthe hushed minds mysterious far away,
Doubtful what ghostly thing will steal the
Into that distance, gray upon the.grsy.
o 90 and sit with her, and be o'ershaded
Under the languid downfall of her hair:
She wears ,coronal of flowers faded
Upon her forehead and face of care:-
There is enough of withered every where
To make her bower-and enough of gloom;
There is enough of sadness to invite,
If only for the rose that died-whose doom
Is Beauty that with the living bloom
Of conscious cheeks most beauties the light
There is enough of sorrowing, and quite
Enough of bitter fruits the earth doth bear
Enough of chilly droppings for her bowl;
Enough Of fear and shadowy despair,
To frame her cloudy prison for the soul!
