The Return of Spring.

Dear as the dove, whose waiting wing
The green leaf ransomed from the main,
Thy genial glow, returning Spring,
Comes TO our shore again;
For thou hast been wanderer long,
On many fair and foreign strand,
In balm and beauty, sun and song,
Passing from land to land.
Thou bring'st the blossoms to the bee,
To earth robe of emerald dye,
The leaflet to the naked tree,
And rainbow in the sky;
feel thy blest benign control
The pulses of my youth restore;
Opening the spring of sense and soul,
TO love and joy once more.
will not people thy green bowers
With sorrows pale and spectre band;
Or blend with thine the faded flowers
Of memory's distant land;
For thou vert surely never given
To wake regret from pleasures gone;
But like an angel sent from Heaven,
To soothe creations groan.
Then, while the groves thy gaflands twine
Thy spirit breathes the flower and tree,
My heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship God in thee:
And in some calm, sequestered spot,
While listening to the choral strain,
Past grefs shall be awhile forgot,
And pleasures bloom again.

M MISCELLANEOUS.
Aneedote of Jefferson.

Mr. Stansbury, in Arthur's Home Gazette,
relates the following ahecdote of The Sage of
Monticello:
He had perched his country seat on noun.
tain height, commanding a magnificent pros
pect, but exposed to the sweep of wintry winds,
and not very convenient of access. Not FAR
from Monticelo, and within the bounds of his
estate, was a solitary and lofty hill, so situated
as 10 be exposed to the blasts of two currents of
wind. coming up through valleys on different
sides of it. Mr.. Jefferson thought this would
be an admirable position for indmiIl; and nav
ing recently invented model for sawmill, TO
be moved by vertical sails, he sent for an engn-
eer, and submitted it to his judgment. The man
of professional sciences examined The plan, and
listened with profound attention and Difference
to Mr. Jefferson's explanations OF it. and TO bis
eloquent illustration of the advantages it would
secure; having heard him through, and being
asked by the philosopher, "Whst he thought Of
lt?" be replied, with great sincerity, that it was
most ingenious idea, and was decidedly the
best plan for a saw mill he had ever seen. Jef-
serson was delighted; and forthwith entered into
a written agreement for the erection Of such a
mill on the neighborng height.
The work went bravely on, the inventor very
frequently mounting his horse and riding over 10
see how it proceeded. When the frame was
up. and the building approached its completion.
the engineer rode over TO Monticello, TO obtain
a supply Of money, and TO get some directions
about the saws. Jefferson kept him to dinner;
and when the cloth was removed and wine set
upon the table. he turned to guest and with an
air of much satisfaction. exclaimed:
"And so, Mr.-,you like my mill
Il do. sir, indeed, very much; it is certainly
one Of the greatest Improvements in the con-
struction OF a sawmill ever Witnessed
"You think the sails are so hung that it cam
not fail 10 work wel?"
"Certainly; il must work--it can't help t."
sand there's always a wind on that hill; if it
does not come up one valley. it is sure TO come
up the other; and the bill is so high and steep that
there is nothing TO interruptihe full sweep OF the
wind, come which way il will. You think, then,
on the whole. that the thing cannot fail of COM
plete success2"
II should think so.. sir, but for one thing.n
"Ali! what's thai?"
Il have been wondering in my own mind how
you are 10 gel np your saao logs.n
Jefferson threw up bis hands and eyes: 81
never thought ofthat." The mill was abandon

The Loved and Lost.

She sleeps-that still and placid sleep
For which the weary pant in vain:
Though cold her couch, how dreamless, deep,
That rest of heart and brain!
Oh! never more above her grave
Shall behold the wild flowers wave.
They laid her where the sun and moon
Look on her tomb, with loving eye,
And i have heard the breeze of June
Sweep DER it like sigh!
And the wild rivers wailing song
Grow dirge-like as it stole along. o
And have dreamed in many dreams,
OF her, who was a dream to me,
And talked to her by summer streams,
In crowds, and on the sea-
My guide TO good, and shield from i'll,
My gentle guardian angel still!
IT'S years ago! and other eyes
Have beamed in beauty Ger my youth,
And lovely lips have breathed me sighs
And words which seemed like truth.
But harsh the music which they gave,
To that still lingering round her grave.
And | have left the cold and dead
To mingle with the living cold;
There is a weight around my head
My heart is growing old!
OH for refuge and home
With thee, dead Ellen, in thy tomb!
Age sits upon my heart and brain;
My spirit fades before its time;
But they are all thine own again,
Lost partner of their prime!
And thou art dearer. in thy shroud,
Than all the false and living crowd.
Rise! gentle vision of the hours
Long flown, like birds, which come not back!
And strew, though not with funeral flowers,
Life's lone and dreary track!
oh! for the wings that made thee blest,
To fee away and be at rest.
