November.

The woodland foliage now
Is gathered by the wild November blast;
Even the thick leaves upon the poplar's bough
Are fallen to the last
The mighty vines. which around
The forest trunks their slender branches bend,
Their crimson foliage shaken to the ground,
Swing naked to the wind.
Some living green remains
BY the clear brook that shines along the lawn
But the sere grass stands white DER all the plains
And the bright flowers are gone.
Ger the wide plains, that lie
6esolate scene, the FIRES Of autumn spread,
And nightly on the dark walls ofthe sky
ruddy brightness she'd
But these, these are thy charms
Mid airs and tempered light upon the lea;
And the year holds no time within its arms
That doth resemble thee.
The sunny noon is thine,
Soft golden, noiseless as the dead of night;
And hues that in the flushed horizon shine,
And eve and early light.

Amid the crowd there walked youth,
Whose heart seemed charged with wo;

Who's that Knocking?

BYD.A. TAYLoE, Washington, n C.
uocle sam's White House was fine situation
For any one TO have, and attend to the nation
And good many came TO the door and Knocked,
Bat Uncle Sam sung, while the door was locked,
WHO'S that knocking atthe door
Oh who's that knocking at the door?
Is that you, Zachl No, MS Cass--
Well, you aint Santa Anna
And you've got TO Pass,
So there's M use knocking at the door any more,
o.! there's no use knocking at the door.
Then the Barnburners cane with dakies in their ranks,
And Uncle Sam laughed at their foolish pranks-
For they brought Martin yan who had lived there before
And Uncle Sam sung, while they knocked at the door,
Who's that knocking at the door!
On. who's that knocking at the door'
Is that you Zach No, ris Van,
Well, you can't come IN,
You're "a used up man."
So there's no use knocking al the door any
on there's no knocking at tie door.
Then the People came with Brave Old Chief
Whose brows were bound with a laurel wreath
Andhe went night ahead as he cid in Mexico,
And Knocked like a soldier bold, at the door
AMI who's that knocking at the door'
Oh, who's that knocking at the door!
Is that you, Cass! No, tis Zach
Well, walk IN, General,
For YOU never turn back;
So there's no use knocking at the door any morei
There's no use knocking at the door.
And when old Zach removed his home
From soldiers tent to marble dome,
The People sung both rich and poor,
Long live Taylor and Fillmore.
And who's that knocking at the door7
Oh who's that knocking at the doorl
It's not Van Duren, nor Lewis Cass,
But it's old Zach Taylor,
And he'll always pass.
So there's no use knocking at .he door any more,
There's no use knocking at the door.
