V0TlID NOT WAKE TIE PAST AGAIN.

Sweet lady, though the ambient air
Meier floated sweeter strains
Than ,remble on thy heart.strings now,
And hold the soul in chains,
pray thee cease that gentle lay,
And wake bolder strain;
would not yield to saddened thought,
Or wake the past again.
Won moon that scars in azure blue,
High up the vault Of Heaven,
Still pours its holy light on earth,
Soit as the dews OF even.
And wonder stars that gem the sky,
Still burn as brightly on,
As when they first together sang,
Upon creations morn.
And earth is still as beautiful,
As bright the summer flowers,
As when plucked them for thy hair,
In childhood's sinless hours;
There is no change ir earth or sky,
They're bright as e'er before,
Yet, lady, to a saddened heart,
They seem not as Of yore.
Ah! Time hath wrought weary change,
A weary change indeed,
Since love and song have ceased to charm,
And hope's broken reed.
Then, lady, though the ambient air
Meier bore a sweeier strain,
Iwould moi yield to thoughts like these,
Or wake the past again. LEON.

REMARKABLE FEAT OF HoRsE.-A feat
was performed last Monday, at the Falls,
which beats the celebrated Sam Patch all
to patches. As two horses were feeding
upon the grass, near the precipice between
the Ferry and the Horse shoe Fall, one ct
them venturing too near the brink, fell
over and was precipita,ed to the bottom,
distance Of nearly $50 feet, without receiv-
ing any other injury than u few slight
bruises, not being apparently disabled
When discovered, he was taking drink
from the boiling flood at his feet, where
horse never drank before. His mate, i
seems, witnessed his tall, and stood looking
over after him with so much concern, that
the owner was led to suppose that be had
fallen over, and on searching in the direc.
ton indicated by the horse, discovered the
missing animal safe and sound at the. bot
tom. The horse will have to perform the
additional feat of swimming the river to
the ferry to extricate himself from his pres.
ent quarters.

YANKEE DooDLE.--The origin Of this
popular air is unquestionably English.--
Four or five hundred years ago it was :
nursery song, and may be found in old col
lections of English ballads. Il was familiar
to the musicians Of the British army, who,
when they saw the mastering ofthe "awk.
ward sound" Of American volunteer troops,
in the neighborhood Of Boston, struck up
this old air in ridiculo. The American
drummers and ffers, having few airs to
play, eagerly caught and initiated the live
iy measure, which soon became such q
favorite with the American soldiers, that is
was adopted, and has ever since passed for
native air.
