The Old GriSt Mill.
BY r. II. SToDDARD.

BY r. II. sToDDARD.
The grst-mill stands beside the stream,
With bending roof and leaning wall;
So old, that, when the winds are wild,
The miller trembles lest it fall.
But moss and ivy, never sere,
Bedeck it DER from year to year.
The dam is steep, and wceded green;
The gates are raised, the waters pour,
And tread the old wheels slippery steps
The lowest rounds for evermore.
Methinks they have a sound of ire,
Because they cannot climb it higher.
From morn till night, in autumn-time,
When yellow harvests load the plains,
Up drive the farmers TO the mill,
And back anon, with loaded wains;
They bring a heap of golden grain,
And take it home in meal again.
The mill inside is dim and dark,
But, peeping in the open door,
You see the miller fitting round,
And dusty bags along the floor;
And by the shaft and down the spot,
The yellow meal comes pouring out
And all day long the winnowed chaff
Floats round it on the sultry breeze
And shineth like settling swarm
OF golden-winged and belted bees;
Or sparks around a blacksmith's door,
When bellows blow and forges roar.
love my peasant, quaint old mills
1t minds me of my early prime.
'Tis changed since then-but not so mucI
AS am-by decay and time.
Its wrecks are messed from year to year,
But mine all dark and bare appear.
! stand beside the stream Of life;
The mighty current sweeps along;
Lifting the floodgates Of my heart,
1t turns the magic wheel Of song,
And grinds the ripened harvest, brought
From out the golden field Of thought.

us that the Post, with It's usua! reck-

that the edito. Of the Post cannot be
sufficiently Informed upon these great

raud to devote more oil his valuable
time in explaining them TO him. We
think, too, that an article, or series OF

Qualification of vice President King.

A letter from Matanzas, published in the
New Orleans PicayuHe, gives an account of the
swearing in of the Vice President OF the United
States, from which we extract the following
For the first time in the history of the Re-
public, has the man chosen by the people for the
second post of honor, taken the oath of office
in Il foreign land. William Rufus King was on
the 4th instant, sworn in Vice President of
the United Stats, at the Cumbre, near Maintain
zas. The day most beautiful one the
clear blue sky of the tropics over our heads, the
emerald carpet of Cuba beneath our feet,
and the delicious sea breezes of these iatitudes
sprinkling its GOODNESS over all of us. Early in
the morning, Consul Rodney, leputed by Judge
Sharkey to administer the oath, left town on
horseback for the CuHbre, accompanied by sew
eral American gentlemen. \ pleasant ride of
three miles brought TO the estate where Mr.
King was residing. called lie COn,Gre, (the peak, }

order to ride into Mntanzas before the sun should

forming an escort around the carriage. accom-
panied the Vice President TO town. Mr. King
left Matanzas on the same day for the estate of
Mr.. Chartram, in the partido of Limonar, about
eighteen miles from Matanzas. His health is
very poor, and no one accustomed to see par
tients with pulmonary disease in this climate,
but knows he cannot survive very long. He
may live for months in this mild climate, but
he can never be better. The old statesman
views his coming fate with calmness, as one who
has fought the good fight and will lay hold of
eternal life"
