MABEL.


The shining sickles the reapers WELD
Are bright in the sunlit morn
They 20 10 The opulent harvest field
To reap lis wealth OF corn;
The coral winds of the morning chant
A harvest song of praise,
And the mellow sunlight shines aslant
Through the Autumns golden haze.
No more to bind the amber sheaves
With the reaper bands 60
stand where the rays IN the gabled caves
From the orient softly flow.
The days OF my life old and sere,
But my heart is glad and young,
For the songs of the singing birds hear,
Are the melodies once they sung,
am old, but Hope never decay,
And why should my spirit care
The sun sheds blessings on locks Of gray,
And hallows an old mans hair.
My prOuder and passional days are flown,
But the light on the valley shines
And from odorOus woodland still is blown
The balm of the balsam pines.
My Hopes aresplumed with the wings of doves.
And away from earthly things,
In the amaTanth visions of early loves
Find rest for their weary wings.
o phoenix hopes, such lest We found
When We rose from a heart of fame
To a heaven Of Love, TO gather around
Our simple sylvan name.
Mabel-dream of the years that fell
That fell by the eaper Time;
1t here in the affluenl harvest dell
When my youth was in its prime
1t was down in the harvest pride, unshorn,
We stood with the reaper bands;
And love to our hearts was thrillingly borne
In the tremulous clasp of our hands.
The golden radiance Lent your face
The hyacinth hue of the grain,
And flushing your cheeks with maidenly grace,
BlOom-roses there were lain.
And owe saw mysteries in your eyes
Twin stars in the mellow morn
And dreamed in your red lips PARTED dies
Of pearls amid the corn.
So the sweet vision of gentle Rnth
Is aanaled in orient lore,
When The Syrian nobleman gave his Youth
To her4Beauty for evermore.
And was the Lord of the lands from whence,
In the Autumn's amber pride,
Your virginia. beauty and innocence
Was bonea welded bride,
That night there was joy in the gabled rnarse
When home were the harvest wains,
The young and the beautiful met in the dance,
To the bounding mnsc's strains;
And the trusting love in Mabel's eyes,
In their Gle and holy shine,
Was the love-oh spirit in Paradise,
When last they looked in mine.
Thou hast gathered home to thy garner, God,
The sheaves of my golden years;
But thou leavest hope in the sepulchre clod,
And smiles in world of tears
The pines are green ImmOrtalitiez
When the Elder blossoms die
And the passion that sinks with the sunset, secs
sweet peace III the star sowu sky.
Softly the wings of the Autumn sing
Their coral song Of praise,
And prophecy thus TO my soul they bring
OF its slowly parting days
Oi the sleep that shall coldly and gently glide
On my eyes from chilly Hand
OF the dawn, with Mabel by my side,
In the calm of another Land.

81 Attorney General Critenden has reversed the
opinion OF his predecessor, Mr.. Johnson, and has
decided that under the existing law, the department
printing ought to be given TO the two papers having
the largest regular and permanent subscription list,
without regard to the frequency of their publication.
These papers, in the District of Columbia, are now
ascertaned to be the National Intelligencer, and the
National Era, the Free Soil paper.

For the SIM.


MIR. EDIToR:--The article of your corresnon-
dent /. relative to the Lowell Museum, leads me
to relate my own experience.
In traversng the streets of Lowell, last Satur-
day, TO see what manner of buildings, elephants.
&C., were there,-I noticed a large building de-
slgnated as the Lowell Museum, and supposing
that IT was merely fictitious application to cover
place for theatrical entertainments, as is the
case in Worcester, inquired and ascertained
that this was bona fde Museum, that had a verv
respectable cabinet Of curiosities but it had also
theatrical attachment, like the Boston and New
York Museums
AS to the character of the pieces played there,
found by the "bills'' that they were Of the same
stamp as those played here, which you so Justly
designated last sprlng,as slow coarse heatrcals''
and for the character OF the actors. and ACTING.
would refer TO the following communication
which appeared in the Lowell Daily Morning
News, OF Friday last. The pieces spoken of here
are believe, the same performed on Saturday,
evening, when your Correspondent P. was SO
much pleased.
Our Museum should be place of popular and
strictly proper and refined amusement. where an
evening might be spent pleasantly-if not pro6ably
to both sexes and all ages. The PLAYS sbould he
above suspicion as TO their tendency for immoraity
ana the performances should be made in manner
corresponding with the character of the PLAYS. We
wou'u simply say, that in our opinion, neither the
pays are selected or the performances of the actors
resraIned-or promPted-wilh view to such an
effect. ~ an
he past week has seen the performance of the
bronze Horse, varously proceeded by the esTbree
ohaws," and the "Bloomer out on a Sly,'' and in
terspersed with "iancy'' dances, with an occasional
dirty allusion from the old gent-and songs-good
Lord, save the mark from lady whose an.
pearance on the stage is anything but becoming.
~ we have no objection to dancing, singing or in
d'herent performing on the stage, but when we see
decidedly bad things passed off as decent-we 90 in
,o y, word The daneng of the two ladies at the
museum IS IN bad taste-the singing of Miss Mans.
neid IS truly circulating, the nasty illusions are not
nj to be spoken before intelligent audience while
the general performances Of the actors, with the ex
cept'on oil the manager and lady, MIR. Joyce, and
feet.
II this is the character of the Lowell .'Muse-
nm,' and if p is correct in the opinion that it is
superior to any thing we have had here, shall
pray the City Fathers to revoke all licenses thew
may have granted to such companies @.
