SUMMERS FAREWELL.
BY ELIZA COOK.

What sound is that7 'Tis Summers farewell,
 In the breath of the night wind signing; The chill breeze comes like a sorrowfuI dirge,
 That walls over the dead and the dying; The sleepless leaves are eddying round,
 On the path which they lately shaded; The oak of the forest is losing it's robe;
 The flowers have fallen and faded. All that look on but saddens my heart. To think that the lovely so soon should depart. Yet why should sigh7 Other summers will come
 Joys like the past one bringing; Again will the vine bear it's blushing fruit;
 Again will the birds he singing; The forest will put forth its .honors" again;
 The rose be sweet in its breathing; The woOdbine will climb round the lattice pane,
 As wild and rich in its wreathing; The hives will have honey, the bees will hum, Other flowers will spring, other summers will come They wifi. they will But ah who can tell
 Whether I-may live on til their coming This spirit may sleep too soundIy then
 To wake with the wsrbliDg or humming; This cheek. now pale may be paer far
 When the summer sun next is glowing; The cheering rays may gd with light
 The grass on my grave turf growing: The earth may be glad, but worms and gloom May dwell with me in the silent tomb! And few would weep in the beautiful world
 For the fameless one who had left ii; Few would remember the form cut of,
 And mourn the stroke that cleft it; Many might keep my name on their lip,
 Pleased while that name degrading; My follies and sins alone would live,-
 A theme for their cold lpbraidiug. Oh! what change in my spirits dream May there be ere the summer sun next shall beam

Girls Breethed, Booted, and Spurred.

A correspondent Of the New York Herald writes from the Berkshire House, at Great Burlington. Mass, letter, which contains some amusing facts relative to Mrs. Fanny kemble Butler and her as. socia.es. He says:
 The two most celebrated points in the neigh. borhood, are Monument Mountain and the Falls of Bash-Pish, on Mount Washiugton; the former is only about miles north. and the latter some Is miles south.
 "One of the most recherche parties that has gone to Bash-Pish this season, passed few days ago. The ilusirious niece of Mrs. Siddons, you know, IS spending the summer at I.enox, fine village m the centre of the country This distinguished Iady was accompanied by friend of hers, who has a very famous school for young ladies in her house. Several Of these beautiful creatures were Of the party, as were also Mrs. Buffers two daughters one of whom (tbe eldes is tall for her age and an elegant looking giri-but most of her companions were what the English cali stout, and one gentle man among the islanders was so much struck with their unsyPh-like appearance that he quantly remarked, all the girls a that school seemed to run to Tat! The expedition was follows: A huge uncovered wagon, drawn by four horses, carrying dozen youDg ladies, tor more,) followed by a single carriage containing the matron and her dri. yer.
