Ho! youth of the downcast eye.
Why shouldst thou talk of sinking now,

THE SABBATH.

from the new edition of the Poetical Works of S
ard Lytton Bulwer.
Fresh glides the brook and blows the gale,
Yet yonder halts the quiet mill;
The whirling wheel, the rushing sail,
How motIunless and still !
Six days of toll, poor child of Cain
Thy strength the slave of Want may be;
The seventh Thy limbs escape the chain
a God hath made thee freel
All! tender was the Law that gave
This holy respite to the breast;
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave,
And knoW-the wheel may rest!
But where the waves the gentlest glide,
What image charms lift thine eyes
The spire reflected on the tide
invites thee to the skies.
To teach the soul its nobler worth
This rest from mortal tolls is given;
Go, snatch the brief reprieve from earth
And pass-a guest to Heaven.
They tell thee in their dreaming school,
Of Power from old dominion hurled,
When rich and poor, with juster rule
Shall share the altered world.
Alas since time itself began,
That fable hath but fooled the hour;
Each age that ripens Power in Man,
But subjects Man to Power
Yet every day in seven at least,
One bright republic shall be known;
Mans world awhile hath surely ceased
w hen God proclaims His
Six days may Rank divide the poor,
A Dives, from thy banquet hall
The seventh, the Father opes the door,
And holds His feast for all.

INDIAN SUMMER.

We do not know the author of the following pie
SAINT poem, which we find in recent number of t
Musical Review. A swceter fancy of the Indi
Summer" we have never seen:
There is a time, just the frost
Prepares to pave old winters way
When Autumn, reverie lost
The mellow daytime dreams away;
When Summer comes, in musng mood,
To gaze once more ON hill and dell,
To mark how many sheaves they bind,
And if all are ripened we'll
With baImy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up, and give
Their sweetest incense, ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live,
She enters meath the woodlands shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones OF its grief.
At last old Autumn, rising takes
Again his sceptre and his throne,
With boisterous hands the trees he shakes,
Intent gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer signing, flies the plain
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Sees mser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think its all for him.
