Spring from Lyra" may not please the worship
ers of Thomson's Seasons, but they have the
true lyric touch notwithstanding. W
The mantle of the May
Was blown almost within the summers reach,
And all the orchard trees,
Apple, and pear and peach
Were full of yellow bees
Flown from their hives away
The caow dove upon the dusty bonn
Fluttered it, little wings in streaks OF light
And the CAV swallow twiItered full In sight;
Harmless thu unyoked team
Browsed from the budding elms and thrilling lays
Made musical prophecies of brighter days;
And all went jocundy. could but say,
All well-a-day -
What time spring tbaws the void.
And in the dead leaves up sprouts of gold,
And green and iibby blue, that after hours
Encrown with flowers;
Heavily lies my heart
From all delights apart,
Even rs an echo hungry for the wind,
When fail the silver-kissing waves TO unbind
The music bcdded in the drowsy strings
OF the seas golden shells-
That sometimes, with their honeyed murrnurinsS
Fill all its underswclls - N
For DER the sunshine fell shadow wide
When Lyrs died.
One more extract must close our present article,
and that shall be the picture of mid autumnsl
beauty suggested by the fading glories OF October
OCTOBER
Not the light of the long blue Summer,
Nor the fowery huntre-s, Spring,
Nor the chilly and moaning Winter
Doth peace 10 my bosom bring
Like the hazy and red October,
When the woods stand bare and brown
And into the lap of the south land,
The flowers are blowing down
When all night long, in the moonlight
The boughs OF the rooi-tree chafc
And the wind like wandering poet
Is singing mourniul wall;
And all day through the cloud armies,
The sunbeams coquettishy rove
For then In my path frs; uniolied
The sweet psssoniower oil love.
With bosom as pale the seashell
And soft as the flax unspun,
And locks like the nutbrown shadows
In the light of the sunkcn sun,
Came the maiden whose wonderful beauty
Enchanted my soul from PAIN
And gladdened my heart, that can never.
No, never be happy again.
Far away from hies pain and passion,
And our Eden of love- she went,
Like pale star fading softly
From the mornings golden tent
But oft, when the bosom of Autumn
Is warm with the summer beams,
We meet in the paid shadows
That border tho land OF dreams.
For seeing my through the splendor
That hovers about her above,
She puts from her forehead the glory,
And listens again TO my love.
FANCIEs OF A WHIMSICAL MAN BY tho author Of

With numerous Alterations and absurdl-

life. In place of the sportlve humor of which we
have occasional bursts we find quite too liberal

dom anything salient, genial, or spontaneous in ito
attempts at wit; and after reading it for little
while, is put in low spirits for the rest Of the
day by its forced trials to raise laugh. A great
deal of the merest commonplace is vanished over
with thin coat of original expression but the
bright color rubs off and we come down to
pine wood Of the most porous texture. Such
whim-whams and spurts of personal feeling as com
pose this volume need to be relieved by genuine.

Still we do not despair o., Of him. Let him fling
away his Alterations. With more simplicity,

romance. The volume comprises the substance
Of the graphic letters Of the writer which have
already appeared in the correspondence of TIE
