1t is not generally known, that on DAY
that gold medal, furnished by cltizcrs Of
New York, was prosecuted to Colonel Bliss,
a, the White House, giror curry ami, fur
ni.hcd by citizens Of the same great State,
was presented to Gen. Taylor, for the benefit
Of" Old Whitley, the Prcsidcn, war.horse
Governor Seward was the orator on the occas-
ION. az all the ahsurdities that have been
transacted in Washington during great many
ycars, this strikes us as the most absurd
The donors Of the curry.comb must have been
badly or for a vent for their enthusiasm, when
they expended It IN a blt Of plate for horse.
We should think, too, that Colonel Bliss must
have felt fattcrcd at having himself associat-
ed with the old strcd in the affections aud hon
ors Of New York. Gifts and hunors from the
Empire State will have a new value, now

THE FADING YEAR.

THE FADING YEAR.
The year is waning in decay,
And IN the groves the w,thercd leaf,
Fit emblem of mans silent grief,
Falls slowly all the mazy day.
The songs nf birds arc hnshed, and grose
And meadow rest in calm, profound,
Save when some wandering step is found,
Along the rustliny path to rove;
Or family thro' the silve,y haze
The huntsman's horn comes winding slow,
In sweet and me lancholy How,
Like dirge o'er pleasures hy-gone days.
We wander forth-alas! We see
The giories Of the summer gone,
And all the moaning trees upon
The gray moss nutter tremblingly.
The flowers. that gentle sisterhood,
No more with fragrance load the air,
We seek fnr them hut vainiy, where
They smiled amid the vernal wood.
srwsa:d seem Is II shsyan had asd
Unto some kindlier cline to opc;
Again to glad the heart with hope,
And weaken dreams Of rapture fed.
And sadly o'cr our spirits steal
The thoughts that like the gentle flowers,
The joys that giad'iened by-gone hours,
But transient pleasure did reveal.
We feel We vainly sigh for bliss,
That all our hOpes hut pass away,
And leave the heart without ray
or joy to cheer its ineliness.
But 10! . change-when spring shall come
From SUMMER climes, the flowers will wake
And as when smiles OF MOI ming break
And giid with gentle light the tomb.
So, DER the earth the flowers shall throw
Their smiles to glad the weary heart,
And to the gloomiest scenes impart
pure and sweet and radiant glow.
And o'er the soul spring will she'd
A gieam golden as the dawn
Ofhy-gone hours in hopes young morn,
And wake anew the bliss now dead.
Tho shending monrnfnlly abave''
The shrine where JOY now PROSTATE lies,
Again we'N greet in Paradise
The spirit of our earlier love
Ifhy the soul with care opprest
Keep faith AMI firmly struggle on,
Remembering that when grief is gone,
The promise is. ssye shall he llest."
