noticing very successful operation performed by a

he had been so suddenly gifted; was the medium

The Season.
BY THOMAS HOOD.


SUMMERS gone and over!
Fogs are falling down!
Aud with the russell tinges,
Autumn's doing brown.
Boughs are daily rifled
By the busy thieves,
And the Book of Nature
Getteth short of leaves.
Round the tops OF houses,
Swallows as they fit,
Give, like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.
Skies Of tickle temper,
Weep by turns and laugh
Night and day together,
Taking haIf-and-hali.
SO September eudeth-
Cold and most peryerse
But the months that follow
Sure will pinch us worse!

And Eden lJwers in freshness spring
Beneath its morning ray:
Love breathes s,ft rapture in its ear,

Time passed on-its leaves are scar,
Aud falling one by onei
Stern manhood hath its falling IsdrssI

How friends that round youths pathway strayed,
