THE DECLINE OF SUMNER.

"Alas! the sultry Summers sun hath passd,
The gentle zephyrs cease to blow
Atlast, the Northern winds have cast
gloom on all nature below.
They've chased away the sweltering heat,
And cooled the dry and parched earth
Have compelled mankind to resume his seat.
/ Around the pleasant 6residc hearth.
Dreary November's come with his chilling winds
He's blasted the sun-Aowers vital string
The gentle pink or lilly,
Finds no refuge from its sting.
And so is man like the flowers that bloom
and flourish through the pleasant seasons OF
Spring and Summer-but alas there IS all
Autumnal season when he is cut down from
the career of earthly bliss for the silent and
gloomy shadows Of the grave. Our existence
is too much like the season Of flowers-our
stay is but short-how true the adage, eve

first budding of Spring how we admire its
tenderness, and the display Of its radiant col
ors, how pleasant it is to 60 forth at the grey
dawn of twilight and behold the forest as 1t
begins to clothe itself in Natures green gar
ment, the merry twirp Of the birds as they
skipp from branch to branch, who seem re-
joiced at the bright morn of Spring. The
snowy dew-drops Of June have been dried by
the scorching rays of July sun, and are
soon to be CONCEALED by the howling blast OF
dreary December. A few weeks ago--and
the forest presented a verdant and beautiful
appearance Of foliage-but now, in few
brief days what sad change-their once
green garbs played in the morning breezes,
now, they are torn from their stems and
hurled by November's gales to the cold earth.

Of a man, at Rochester, N. Y, named Cor

dav iaborer until seized with this remark.
able catelepsy. A correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer who saw him, says;
His appearance now is that Of man in
profound sleep. His pulse varies from SO to
| 90. and is weak and tremulous. His muscles
| are very rigid, his body cannot be altered
much from the position it is in, on account Of
the rigidity of,his muscles. His eyelids, gen.
erally. are twitching; touch them and they
are closed at once. His mouth is partly
opened attempt to open it further, and his
Jaws are locked. Stand him up, and his body,
preserving very nearly the same position as
when he lies, stands until he is lain dowi,
again. He is fed principally on milk, by
prying open his mouth. The bowels are not
moved oAener than once week, His cata-
leptic-the symptoms are not those OF cata-
lepsy, exactly, yet It is nearer than any thing,
except perhaps, the 'ecstacy OF the books
sleep has continued, now, these five years and
more, with an aggregate intermission OF about
three days. The last time he was awake,
! vas while he was being exhibited to the fac
+ ulty in Rochester, some time in June. These
waking seasons seldom last more than 20
minutes. during, which time he seems not to
recognize that there is any thing peculiar In
his case. Medicines and medical men have
exhausted their resources to restore him.
He il now in charge of the farmer with whom
he formerly worked, and a Dr.. Cane, who
are exhibiting him to the faculty, and who
intend exhibiting hereafter to the public.
Srxa. Srxa, YE DARKIEs, SrNe.--Some
500 Of the dark visaged sons Of Africa met
on Saturday night in an open lot on Tchoup-
;toulas street, stretched fourth their arms and
sanf, with loud voice. What the assem-
blage was for and what the singing was about
could not for long time be ascertained; but
at length it leaked out that 4 fanatical Ethi-
opian prophet had given to his colored sheep,
that at Ii o'clock on that night, the comet,
which has been switching its eccentric tail
through the upper deep, was to run pell nell
against the earth and knock it into an eternal
smash. OF course, every body was to be
] killed; but those who would be found with
their arms extended to heaveE watching the
coming Of the comet with song Of welcome,
were TO be carried off bodily into Paradise.
! And to this end did the Eve hundred darkies
assemble, stretci, forth their arms and sing.
The police made descent upon the crowd,
and carried off sixty captives. The rest es-
capped. The Recorder required those who
were arrested to pay e5 each, or, instead
thereof to receive fifteen lsshes individually.

OF life and death, and long to see
Into the great eternity.
The locked hands loose, the feet united,
The blank eyes re-illumined
The senseless ashes dei6ed.

The tides of being flow and flow,
From light to darkness, ending 60.

For'youth, little soberer mirth; ;------

A listening for the spirits call,
A reaching up the smooth, steep wall
OftLe close grave, and this is all.
Hoping, we find that hope is vain;
Are pleased, and pleasure ends in pain;
Loving, we win no love again.
We bring our sorrow, wild weight,
Praying inexorable fate
To comfort US, and when we wait
Winning no answer to the quest,
Madly with angels we contest,
Asking if that which is, is best.
So life wears out, and SO the din
Goes on, and other lives begin
The same as though We had not been.
True. here and there in times dead mould,
