HOT SEASON.
BY OLIVER W. HOLMES.

The folks that on the first of May
Wore winter coats and hose,
Began to say the first of June,
"Good Lord! how hot it grows"
At last two Farenheits blew up,
And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor, with its ball!
Now all day long the locusts sung
Among the leahess tree;
Three new hotels warped inside out,
The pumps could only wheeze:
And ripe old wine, that twenty years
Had cobwebbed o'er in vain,
Came spouting through the rotten corks,
Like Joly's best champaign
The Worcester locomotives did
Their trip in half an hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked the power;
Roll birthstone soon became drug;
And Friction Matches fell;
All asked ior ice, but everywhere
Salt petre was to sell.
Plump men Of mornings ordered tights,
But, ere the scorching moons;
Their candle-moulds had grown as loose
As Cossocks pantaloons
The dogs ran mad--men could not try
If fwater they would choose;
A horse fell dead--he only left
-Four red hot rusty shoes!
But soon the people could not bear
The slightesthint of fire;
Allusions to coleric drew
A flood of savage irei
The leaves on heat were all torn out
From every book at school,
And many blackguards kicked and caned
Because they said keep coOl!"
The gas-light companies were mobbed,
The bakers all were shot;
The penny press being to talk
OF Lynching DR.. Mott;
And all about the warehouse steps
Were angry men in droves,
Crashing and splintering through the doc
To smash the patent stoves,
The abolition men and maids
Were tanned to such hue,
You scarce could tell them from their fr lend
Unless their eyes were blue;
And when left, society
Had burst its ancient guards,
And Battle Sheet and Temple Flaee
- Were interchanging cards!

From theKnickerbocker for June
THE BARON S 1AST B AKeUET.
BY ALDER c. GRRENE.

On low couch th setting sun
Had thrown lis Htest ray,
Where in his lust ar0ng agony
A dying warri1ilay;
The stern Old Bapn Kudiger,
Whose frame htd meier been benz
BY wasting pain,t till time and loil
Its iron strength had rent
"They come around me here, and say
My days OF liz are DER;
That | shall MONT my noole sleeu
And lead my land no morei
They come, andto my beard iaey daro
70 tell me nov that L

That I-ha! hg!-must die!
aAnd what is dlathl I've dared nm OIL
Before the PaInim spear;
Think We he's entered at my gate
Has come to seek me here!
I've met him, faced him, scorned him,
When the iighI was raging hot;
I'll try mis- might Ill brave his power;
DEFY and tear him not.
.'Ho! sound the tocsin from the tower,
And fire the cllverin.
Bid each retainer arm with speed!
Call every yassal in!
Up with my banner on the walls!
The banquet-board prepare;
Throw wide the portal OF my halls,
And bring my armor theTe!"
A hundred hands were busy then;
The banquet forth was spread;
And rang the heavy oaken floor ~
With many martial tread;
While from the rich, dark tracery
Alonq the vauted wall,
Lights cleaned on harness, plume and spear,
Ger the proud old Gothic hall.
Fast hurrying through the outer gate,
The mailed retainers poured
On through the portals trowniug arch,
And thronged around the board;
While at its head, within his dark
Carved oaken chair OF state,
Armed cap a pie, stern kudlger
With girded ialchlon safe.
"Fill every beaker up, my men;
Pour forth the cheering vine;
There's life and strength in every drop
Thanksgiving TO the vine!
Are ye all there, my vassals trueF
Mine eyes are waxing dim;
Fill round my tried and fearless ones,
Each goblet to the brim.
"Ye're there, bnt yet see you not;
Draw forth each trusty sword,
And let me heal your faithful Steel
Clash once round my board!
hear it family, Louder yet!
What clogs my heavy breath!
Up all! and shout tor kudl5af,
Defiance nnto Deathn
Bowl rang to bowl, steel changed to steel,
And rose adeaiening cry,
That made the torches fare aronnd,
And shook the ilags on high,
"IIo! cravens! do you fear INN!
sSaves traitors have ye flown!
IIo! towards! have ye left me
10 meet him here alone!
"But defy him! Let him coHle!"
Down rang the masy cup,
While from It's sheath the ready blade
Came flashing half way up;
Aud with the black and heavy plumos
Scarce trembling on his head,
There, in his dark carved oaken chair,
Old RUplGER sat-dead!

to what is called the Russian method, BY
which it was said butter could be made in
winter as in summer, and with as ittIe chur-
ming. So | set about trying 1he expert

milk back into the pail, and set it into the
kettle of boiling water, till the milk becomes
stalding hot, taking care not to let il boil,
then pour it into crooks or pans, and set it
away in the cellar for the cream to rise in
the usual way. Cream produced in this
way will seldom require twenty minutes to

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
l. AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
L AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
Important reduction in the rates Of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. "a,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig)
The North British Review, Free Church,
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) and
Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine, TORY.
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American Pc
riodicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords a guarantee
that they are established on firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but q small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. II is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer a4d other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appearing in its COLUMNS both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as "The Caxtons" and !" My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer, IN Peninsular Medal, 4"
g The Green Hand" Sand other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publ&hers in this country
have to be reprints by those publishers
from the pages of Blaekwood, after it has
been issued by Meesrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint Of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.
