POETRY.
scENE IN A VERMONT WINTER.

IT'S fearful night in the winter time.
AS cold rs II ever can he;
The roar Of the storm is heard like the chime
or the waves on an angry sea-
The moon is full, but her silver light
The storm dashcs out with his wings tonight (;
And DER the sky, from south 10 north,
Not star is seen as the winds come forth
In the strength Of a mighty glee.
All day the snow came down-all day
As il never came down before,
And over the earth at night there lay
Some two or three feet or more.
The fence was lost and the wall Of stone
The windows block'd and the well-curb gone
The haystack grown to n mountain lift
And the wood-pile looked like a monster drift
As it lay at the farmers door
As the night set in, came hail and snow,
And the air grew sharp and chill,
And the warning roar of a sulcn blow
Was heard on the distant hill
And the Norther see on the mountain peak,
In his breath how the old trees writhc and Shrek
He shouts along the plain, ho, no
He drives from his nostrils the binding snow,
And growls with a savage will
Such a night as this to be found abroad
In the snow and the singing air
shyering dog, in the field by the road.
When the hail through his shaggy hair
The wind drives hard, doth crouch and growl,
Aud shut his eyes with dismal howl
Then to shield himself from the cutting slcet,
his nose Is pressed on his quiyering feet
Pray. what does the dog do there
His master came from the town tonight
And lost the Travelled way,
And for hours he trod with main and might
path for his horse aud sleigh
But deeper still the snow drifts grew
And colder still the fierce winds blew
And his mare, beautiful Morgan brown,
At last DER a log had houndered down,
That deep in huge drift lay.
Many plunge, with frenzicd snort,
She made in the heavy snow;
And her master strove till his breath grew short.
With word and gentle blow
But the snow was deep and the tugs were tight,
Ills hands were numb'd and had lost their might
So he struggled back to his sleigh again,
And stroye to shelter himself in vain,
With his coat and his buffalo.
He has given his last faint Jerk with the rein
To rouse up his dying steed
And the poor dog howls to the blast in vain
For help in his masters need
He strives for while wstful eve
To catch but glance from his heavy eye,
nhu ways MS TAN IL the rude winds hap
The skirts Of his coat across his lap;
And whiu0s that he takes no heed.
The wind goes down the storm is o'er
'Tis the hour of Midnight past
The forest writhes and bends no more
In the rush Of the mighty blast.
The moon looks out with silver light
On the high old hills, with the snow all white
And the giant shadow Of Camel's Hump,
or ledge, and tree, and ghostly stump,
On the silent plain are cast.
But there are they-by the hidden log
Who came that night from the town
All dead the man aud his faithful dog,
And his beautiful Morgan brown
lie sits in his sleigh his face is bland
With his cap on head, and the reins In his hand I,
The dog with his head on his masters feet,
And the horse half seen through the crus,cd slect
Where she lay when she floundered down
