a grassy slope, amid verdurous ruins of the

which antiquarian truth has ascribed TO the

his sepulchre. In one Of those mental

BY BRYANT.

The melancholy days ale come.
The saddest Of the year,
or waillng winds and naked woods.
And meadows brown and sere.
Heaped IN the hollows of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead,
They rustic to the eddying gust,
And to the rabbits tread:
The robin and the wren are flown.
And from the shrub the jaw,
And from the wood-top calls the crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair voung ao,yors
That lately sprung and stood
In brighter light and softer airs.
beauteous sisterhood?
Alas! they all are in their graves,
rhe gentle race of flowers,
And lying in their lonely bed,
With the fair and good of ours;
The rainis falling where they lie,
But cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth,
The lovely ones again.
The wild flower and the violet,
They perished long ago,
And the wild nose and the orchis died
Amid the summer glow;
But on the hill the golden rod,
And the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sun-hower by the brook.
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven.
Asfalls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone
From upland, glade and glen.
And now when cones the calm, mild day,
As still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out theirwintry home,
When the sound Of dropping nuts is heard,
Though all the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light,
The waters Of the nll
The south wind searches for the flowers,
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And signs to find them in the wood
And by the stream nomore.
And then think of one who in
Her youthful beauty died
That fair meek blossom thatgre up
And faded by my side;
In the cold moist earth we laid her
When the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely
Should have aiife NO brief;
Yet not unme<f it was, that one
Like that young friend of ours,
So gentle and 80 beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers.

TaImadi'enl AiIexory.-'The spirit or sole.

A venerable old man toiled through the
burden and heat Of the day, in culivating
his field with his own hand, and in strew-
ing with his own hand, the promising seeds
into the fruitful lap of the yielding earth.
Suddenly there stood before him, under the
shade Of huge linden tree, divine Wis
