The Parting Of Summer.

Bl MkS. HfMAHS
Thou'ri bearing hence thy roses,
Glad Summer; fare the well
Thou'rt singing thy last melodies
: In every v ood and dell.
But in the golden sunset
OF thy latest lingering day,
Oh tell me oe'r this chequercd earth
How thou hast past away.
Brightly sweet summer brightly
Thine hours have foated by,
To the Joyous birds of the wooalsnd bouGhs
The rangers Of the sky:
And brightly in the forests
To the wild deer bounding free;
And brightly midst the garden flowers,
10 tse happy murmuring bee.
But how to human bosoms
With all their hopes and fears
And thoughts that made them eagle wings
To pierce the unborn years
Sweet summer TO the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
or the woods with all their hopes and leaves,
AnG lhe Dlue reJocltt stTeains
To the ewasted and the weary,
On the bed of sickness bound;
In sweet, delicious fantasies,
That changed with every sound
To the sales on the bllovs,
In longing wild aud vain
For the gushing iouu,s aud breezy hills,
And the home of earth again.
And unto me glad Summe-
How hast thou flown To me
M chainlcss footsteps nought have kept
From thy haunls Of song and glce.
Thou hast flown in wayward visions,
la memories OF the dead
In shadows from a troubled heart,
Ger sunny pathway shed -
In brief and sudden strivings,
To fling weight aside
Midst these thy melodies have ceased,
And all thy roses died
But oh thou gentle Summer
ii greet thv flowers once NOR,
BrIn9 NE again thy buoyancy.
WherewIlh my soul should soal
Give me 10 hail thy sunshine
With a song and spirit fee

s.IIow do You spell Boots?"

The following anecdote is going the
rounds, and is probably intended as del
icate piece Of sarcasm upon some rich
mushrooms, whose ignorance renders them
the burlesque of the better educated, tho
more humble artisan. However, it is
said spelling is not natural to all; perhaps
it may be so in this case:
The N. Y. correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, tells an amusing story
of wealthy Wall street broker, who lives
in great style in the fashionable quarter,
and ranks as one of 'sthe upper ten." It
appears that he recently purchased splen-
did fire-proof safe, in which to secure his
valuables against the devouring element,
in which he had affixed that new inven-
ton for protection against thieves, called
the combination lock. These beautiful
pieces of mechanism are so extremely
complicated that you may lock them, hand
the key to the manufacturer, even, and the
chances are as one to ten thousand, that
he will not be able to open them. The
wards and interior arrangements of these
locks are alphabetically arranged, and you
select word in the language, take the
letters and lock the wards answering to
these letters, one by one. Thus, take the
word Chair-you lock c, then h, then a,
then 1, then r. Now it must be unlocked
in the same way and unless you hit upon
the exact word, you will never be able to
unlock it. Well, the broker in question
locked his safe according to the word
shoots" but after working at it an hour
or more the next morning, he could not
unlock it, and gave it up in despair. AS
his funds were all locked up, he had no
money with which to pay his notes and
carry on his business that day, but as his
credit was good, he raised sufficient for
the purpose by borrowing of the banks.
The next morning the manufacturer of the
lock, according to request, called to in
qrire into the difficulty. He said he had
no doubt he could unlock the safe, if the
gentleman wonld tell him the word to
which he locked it. "Boots" was the
word, and to work he set to unlock to
shoots" Well, he tried, sanguine of sue
cess; but shoots" would not unlock the
safe. He tried again and again, but was
no more successful. He tried an hour,
two hours, three hours, but with no sue
cess. Finally, a happy thought struck
him. He wiped the respiration from his
face, took drink of water, examined the
key again, and looking at the broker in
the eye, said: ''Sir, allow me to ask how
you spell 'boots?'" GLOW do l spell
'boots?'" said the broker, "why, l spell
it right; how do you spell it," ooh, new
er mind,' said the man of combination
locks, chow do you spell i,?'' "B-u-t-s,
to be sure,' said the broker. "The ID
you do" said the lockman, "and if you
spell boots, 'buts,' l will unlock the safe
BUDS" and he did unlock it in the twin
king Of an eye.

ALWAYS THE sAME.-It would seem
that the Journeymen Printers in France
have been among the most jealous in eff
forts to bring about the late revolution in
Paris. Here, az there, many printers are
but in our country they
can advocate their peculiar views without
appealing to "the barricades." The Lon
don Chronicle speaking of the Revolution,
says: "Another and very serious cause
of alarm is with respect to the working
and pressmen of Paris. They
are a formidable and very turbulent body,
to upwards Of sixteen thousand
men. Hitherto they have taken little or no
part in the affair of the reform banquet,
but to-day they have given notice in al
most all the printing establishments that
they will not be at their work tomorrow
as they have to attend the procession to
the Champs Elysees. They are almost
all communists and socialists, and l need
not remind you that they were the first
movers and the principal contributors to
the revolution of July"

A Picture.

At the very moment that the journals
of the European monarchistS are predict
ing the overthrow of American institutions
on account of the war with Mexico--even
just after GUrzor was talking in the as
surance Of safety and prerogative, of pre-
serving the balance of power on the North
American continent-in the midst of the
vapid eloquence of Lord GEORGE BEN
TIMEX, in favor Of seizing Cuba-and
while every representative and dependent
Of privilege abroad is feasting his eyes
upon the hope and the belief that the Uni
ted States are fast fastening to prema-
ture grave--a few French workmen, Sin
blouses," begin to sing song of liberty
in the streets of Paris, which is presently
responded to by thousands of others, I'M
til at last an attempt is made to drive them
back to their dwellings, when in all in
slant the slnothered embers Of revolution
burst into blaze, which Immediately con-
sumes all the instruments and ensigns of
monarchy, driving the Chamber of Peers
into the highways, and causing LOUIS
PnrLIppE himself to run for the unter.-
Thus in few short hours, vanish all the
expectations of our enimies! Thus Des-
pair takes the place Of hope! Thus, by
the unseen power of Providence, is the
mighty stricken down in the midst of his
greatness!
1t is difficult to show in which aspect
of the late movement in France, the fin
ger Of God is most distinctly seen-wheth-
er in the fact that it must ultimately be
productive of grave and healthy conse-
quences to this country, or to the whole
civilized Europe. We remember how
the plots Of Europe in reference to the
war with Mexico have been counterfeit
ed and defeated by this movement or rev.
olution--how the predictions Of our enc
mics have been disappointed in the antic-
ipated consequences Of foreign interven-
ton in that war-and what vast CONNER
cial benefits to our country may follow
when we see all this, we might be induced
to regard ourselves as the exclusive OBJ
jects Of this mighty revolution--if, at the
same moment, we did not hear the glac
sounds Of the masses released from the
chains of power in another land-if, at the
same moment, we did not see monarchy
fleeing before the wrath of an arouse,
people, and calling upon the hills to COW
er and to hide it!
Truly is it great and an exciting pic.

The New Workers aud the lirSl
French a. revolution.

The following anecdote, which is also
taken from the manuscript Of Judge PoR-
TER, has peculiar interest at the present
crisis of France, and may properly be re-
garded as fit historical illustration Of the
popular feeling then existing in this coun-
try in regard to the French Revolution
and the war then pending between Eng
land and France. The events occurred
when he was in New York:
.aThe French republican frigate T. .am-
b,.scade, which was lying at anchor near
the Battery, received a challenge from the
English frigate Boston (then lying of
Sandy Hook J to combat. This challenge
was promptly accepted by the Frenchman,
and the Ambuscade put to sea to meet her
antagonist amid the cheers of assembled
followed down the bay by nu-
merous small crafts, filled with passeng-
4rs DESTROYS Of being spectators of the en-
gagement. The meeting between the fri
gates took place in pursuance of the chal-
lenge. But while they were warmly en-
gagged, the approach Of French Squadron
to the New York harbor compelled the
Boston to withdraw from the contest, and
make her escape.
"The French Fleet entered the lorbor
and sailed up to their anchorage n the
Hudson, accompanied by the Amb,scade,
which vessel, bearning the marks Of her
recent hostile encounter in tattered sails,
wounded spars, &c., was an Object that
produced an enthusiasm bordering o, fren-
zy among the multitude who had :ssem-
bled on the Battery to greet her return.
Shouts and cheers filled the air. The
Battery was literally crammed with hui
man beings. In the midst of these loud
manifestations of sympathy for the F'ench,
an extraordinary excitement arose n one
part of the crowd, the cause OF whih was
soon apparent. A man was seen elVated
above the heads of the multitude. over
which he passed as rapidly as possible,
until he reached the enclosure at tie adj
joining street. Over this enclosure he
was unceremoniously tossed among the
boys and stragglers, who pursued him
with screams and jeers and all sortsofvile
missiles until he was out of sight. The
offence which had brought on him ills dis
play of popular Indignation was merely
that in conversation with fellow citizen
in the crowd, he had said the French
were no match for the English in sea
fight, on equal terms.
"These and similar manifestations of
poular feeling produced the celebrated

pie in the wars growing out Of the French

concerned, required that Maj. Gen. Scott
should be suspended from command, pend
ing the investigation.
| Where then, is to be found that "pre-
judgement" and punishment so bitterly
complained Of? Certainly not in the &C
ton of the Governmeut---and even if found
there, wherein am l responsible for it?--.
But, If Gen. Scott means that public opin-
ion has ''prejudged and ''punished'' him,
still less can | be held accountable for the
decision of that tribunal---it Judges men
according to their acts. Public opinion Is
a severe, but upright judge, before whom
'the i'snoeont have nothing to fear---the
guilty nothing to hope" 1850. ,z-
AS regards my own case, l have not
been "pre-acquitted," nor have l been
s'rewarded.'' If
The charge of Maj. Gen. Scott against
me have not been dismissed, nor do de-
sire they should be. ! am prepared to
meet, not only the specific charge prefer
red against me, but also that t'other pro.
bable matter" wherewith l have been
mentioned. But, as the charge preferred
against me, by Maj. Gen. Scott, was bas-
ed upon my appeal .s the Government
against the injustice Of that officers to-
wards myself, the Government, in accord
ance with law and justice, has suspended
the accusations against me, until those pre-.
viously preferred by me shall have been
disposed of.
In reference to the t'reward" spoken of
by Maj. Gen. Scott, he can only mean my
assignment to command, according to my
brevet Of Major General, by the President
Of the United States. If correct in this
conjecture, the allusion is most unfortu-
nate; inasmuch as the President, by this
act, only did, in accordance with law, what
Gen. Scott had done, in violation of it,
nearl y one year before---the proprietv of
which act, On the part of Gen. Scott, |, at
the time repudiated.
Gen. Scott has been pleased publicly
to announce that, at the end of this court,
he shall be done with him (me) forever

ing that the ties Of friendship, formed from

ton, and strengthened, for thirtylfvc

About FIVE years ago, a dear old friend
died suddenly, and a widow and six chill
dren, with no legacy from him but good
character, and good education, and abso-
lutte poverty, wept over him. We stood
beside hisye warm corpse and there were
others there, strangers to the family who
said they came to watch with his body that
night, to arrange for his funeral, and pre-
pare the grave. And we heard the voice
of blessing amid the widows signs, as
those men spoke kindly, and told her all
would be WELL We wondered who they
were, and whence they came, and where
fore their sympathy and aid. The funeral
was long, and nearly all were strangers,
yet they gathered tenderly, that solemn
band, around the receptacle Of the dead.
We saw no imam of God to repeat the mel
ancholy ritual, but, from among the throng,
one came forth, and with words Of purest
eloquence, committed the body to the dust,
and with prayer fervent as that of Ha-
bakkuk, commended his spirit to God its
father. And then with solemn tread, that

sprig of evergreen and departed. Nor
was this all the widow and the orphans
were their next care. A hundred dollars
were placed inthe widows hands, a COM
Portable house was provided for her and
hers, and extended influence brought en-
ployment for the needle of mother and
daughter. We looked upon all this with
wonder and surprise, and asked where
fore? 1t was answered. "He was a broth
err" The truth flashed upon us, we
sought the secret workshop of the brother
hood, knocked for admission, and there
we saw picture that would have enrap-
tured the soul of a Howard. We stood
in the presence Of that wondrous benevo-
lence that is secretly working great
good in the land, and we blushed for
shame at the blind prejudice which had
so long kept our hands from working and
our hearts from sympathizing in those
holy labors. We had entered the pale of
ODD FELLowsH1p, and not shade of re-
greet for the step has ever yet passed over
our mind.
