"A season long ago;
The pleasantcst Pve ever known
Or ever now shall know.
Bees, birds, and little tinkling rills,
So merrily did chime
The year was in its sweet spring tide
And j was in my prime.

From every bending spray;
I've never pluckcd such primroscs.

Yon moory down, SO black and bare,
Was gorgeous then and gay
With golden gorse-bright bIossomiug--
AS none blooms now-a-day.
The blackbird sugs but seldom now
Up there in the old lime,
where hours aud hours he used to sing
When l was in my prime.
Such cutting winds came never then

More softly fell the silent shower
More balmily the dew

IMPORTANT Discovery by CLAIRvoY-
aNT.-Dr. 3d., of Paris, is gallant practi-
toner, cultvatng with equal SUGGEST the art
of healing and pleasing--which caused one
of his friends TO say that he was possessed
of the love of science and the science of
love. while since the doctor was called
TO administer his potions to seamstress,
when he discovered that she was of a nervo-
lymphatic temperament, this is TO say, par
ticularly susceptible Of magnetic influences.
No later than week since, the doctor
conidcd his young and charming wife to
sure friend, and after dinner repaired to the
seamstress' donicil, when after few pass
es, he put his putient into a comfortable
sleep.
Hardly had tho young girl succumbed TO
the influence of the magnetic fluid, when
the man of potions leaned over her fading
lips and covered them with kisses of fifty
years ripening--then seized with fit of
scientific ardor, ! sought to study the ef-
fleets Of his salutation upon the somnambu-
list, and demanded of her in most serious
tone
"What course have just pursued with
your"
90 Exactly what your friend is jas, about
10 pursue with your wife, y replied the art
less girl, moinentarily endowed with second
sight.
The doctor did not cven wait 10 see IL
repeated. Without stopping TO awake his
subject, he made all speed possible for
home, to interrupt his friends attentions to
his wife. Whether or no he arrived in
time, is not said.
