had once served TO divide the parlor from

character Of the lands in the neighborhoed
Of Lexington, being rich and fruilhful.-
There are many fine trees in the immedi-

can scarcely imagine more rural homo
than Ashland once was, for such man as
Henry Clay. But glory has departed
Henry Clay's home is razed 10 the earth.
1t was with mortified and disappointed
spirit that we left Ashland, and directed
our way towards the cemetry, which is
on the other side Of Lexington from Ash
land, but near the closely inhabited part
of the city. 1t is an exceedingly well Sc
lected spot, and contains many handsome
monuments. Our chief desire, however,
was 10 see the grave Of the Great Com.

DECEMBER.

have December in my heart,
And piercing winds blow cold and keen
They rudely rend the robes apart,
In which my spring time hope was seen.
With frosty hand strive to wind
The scattered things around my frame
And some broad oak TO get behind,
To wake my love fires dying flame.
The hills which once loved to climb
In bucyant toll, with hope in view,
Have lost the spirits summer time,
And wear dread, unwelcome hue.
My souls wide fields Of ripening grain,
That promised golden harvests all,
Are biighted with untimely rain,
And scorching drouths, and sere brown fall
The silver stream that flowed along
lnjoy's bright day. a flashing tide,
Isfrozen; and the boatnan's song
Is hushed-my oar is laid aside
The trees where once ! gathered fruit
Creak with pain of frosted limbs,
And sitting At tlIe saPless root,
The deiying snap lay aisl,i l'qdiss,
Howfsl Lies storms upon Ipy wayi
How pass iifs's years from birth tilldesth !
The spring Is autumn in NY day,
And summer brings me winters breath.
It is December and erewhile
Ny sorrowiug years shall all be past
My dying hope, on Sorrows isle,
Asks, "shall December always last 20
The win sweep by, nor heed my woe
The frost makes crystals Of my tears
While all around the drifting snow
In trackIess plains my grave appears.
Yet comes there, mid the old year toll,
In one faint CLEAN Of hope's pure ray,
Tne answer, " No endure, o, Soul
December shall be turned to May !"

in aid Of the poor. Could the statistics Of
public and private charity be collected il
would probably appear that more than
