A WINTER PIECE.


Put winter has yet brighter sceues-ho boast
SpIcudcTs beyond what gorgeous summer know,
Or autumn, with his many fruits, and woods
ADJ fush'd with many huss. Come, when til
rius
Have glazed The snow, and clothed the trees wit
ice:
While the slant sun Of February pours
Into the bowers q food Of light. Approach!
The iucrlstod surface shall upbear thy steps,
And tio broad urching portals Of the grove
Welcome .hy entering Look! the massey trunk
Are cuscd 10 the pure crystal; each light spray,
Eodting and tiukling in the breath Of heaven,
Is studded with its trembling water-drops,
That stream with rainbow-radance as they move
Bu. round the parent stem the long low boughs
Bend, in Offering ring, and arbors hide
The CLASSY floor O you might deem the spot
The spacious cavern Of some virgin mine,
Deep IN the womb Of ear.h-where the gems
grow,
And diamonds put forth radiant rods and bud
Win 0meiAys; and topuz-and the place
Lit mp, most royalty, with the pure beam
Ofhiry palace, that outlasts the night,
and fades not ia the glory Of the SUM
Where crystal columns send forth slender shafts
md crossing arches and fantastic aises
Wind from the sight in brightness, and are lost
Among the crowded pillars. Raise thine eye
Thou scest no cavern roor, no palace vaulti
There lie blue sky and the white drifting cloud
Look in. Again the wilder'd fancy dreams
Ofspouting fountains, frozen as they rose,
And fx'd, with all ther branching jets, in air,
And all their suices seald. All, all is light
Light without shade. Put all shades pass away
With theucztsm. Fromnnmherless vast trunks
Loo,eu'd tie crashing ice shall make sound
Like the fur roar Of rivers, and the eve
Shall close OYER the brown woods rs it was wont.
And Il is pleasant, when the noisy streams
Are just set free, and miIder suns melt Off
The plaslly snow, save only the firm drift
in the deep glen or the close shade Of pines,--
lis pleasant to behold the wreaths Of smoke
Roll up among the naples Of the HILL
Where tlc slrill sound Of youthful voices wakes
The ,hr.ilar echo, as the clear pnre lymph,
hat from the wounded trees, in twullmg drops,
Falls, mid the golden brightness ofthe morn,
]. GATHERED in wiki Drumming pals, and oft,
Welded by sturdy hands, the stroke ofax
Makes the woods ring Along the quiet air,
Come and float calmly Off the soft light clouds,
Such as you sec in sumner, audEthe winds
Scarce stir the branches. Lodged in sunny cleft
Where the cold breezes come MOI, blooms alone
The little viud-dower, whose iust-open'd eve
lH blue as the spring heaven it c4z.s at
Startling the loiterer in the naked groves
With unexpected beauty, for the time
OF blossoms and green leaves is yet aiar.
And ere it comes, the eucounteriug winds shall of
Muster their wrath again, ami rapid clouds
Shade heaven, and bounding on the frozen earth
Shall fL their voileyd stores, rounded Ike hail.
AND white like snow, and the loud North again
Shal. buffet the yexd forests in his rage.

Ills wife before marriage was a ward in

the match, and the Master in Chancery
also withheld his consent for some time.
Both finally yielded to the entreaties of

she was subsequently murdered by her
infamous husband. He was finished

LOOK FOR WORCESTERSHIRE Fair
mount V5rgi'a5an tells the following an.
ecdote of Rev. H. G. Dean, of Iowa, re.
Gently elected Chaplain of the q. S. Sen.
ate, and formerly stationed in North
western Virginia:
While preaching one day at a church
situated few miles from Paramount, he
was annoyed by the inattention of his
congregation as manifested in turning
their heads to see everybody who came
in. Brethren " said he, cit is very
difficult to preach when thus interrupted.
Now do you listen to me, and I will tell
you the name Of every man as he enters
the Church. =" OF course this remark
attracted universal attention. Presently
some one entered, Brother William
Satterfeld ? called out thepreacher, while
that brother seemed astonished beyond
measure, and endeavored in vain to guess
what was the matter. Another person
came in: Brother Joseph Miller bawl-
ed the preacher, with like result; and
so perhaps in other cases. After awhile
the congregation were amazed at hearing
the preacher call out in loud voice, 4" A
little old man with a blue coat and white
hat on don't know who he is! You

ST. LOUIS BY NIGHT.-The St. Louis
News gives the following gloomy picture
Of that city after nightfall;-
No sooner is the shadow Of night
drown over St. Louis, than blood-thirsty
fends, desperate williams, coarse rowdies
and brutal ruflians creep from their lairs,
and sally forth to make night hideous with
their hellish orgies. Quiet, law-loving
people may rule the city by day, but
blackguards, black-legs, rullians and dev-
lis sway the sceptre at night. They
gather 10 sacrifice innocent and unso-
phisticated victims upon the altar of the
table; they parade the streets in strong
squads, going from saloon to saloon, gulp-
ing down the liquor that is to fire their
blood and madden their brains for the
better execution Of the deeds Of deprav-
ity that are to fill up the latter part of
the night. Hardly a night passes in
which one, if he listened and watched
could not see the glittering dagger flash
IN the air hear the shrek or croan of the
assassin's victim. Thieves prowl the
city over, from midnight to sunrise, break
ing bolts, picking locks, and with bold
ness and daring almost inconceivable.
searching the houses from cellar to attic.
for the hard earned money of honest
sleepers."
