For the Advertiser.
NAY DAY.
Ito hpautifnl fInWers

May at last with its beautiful flowers,
it, freshness it's joy-brrathng out the sweet hours
Gladning our hearts with its radiant blooming,
Relishling the ashes from winters chill gloomng,
Cheering old Nature to bring back the shining
Or old sunny smiles meath the green, shady lining,
Tha, spreading afar over hill, dale and mountain,
Is brightly reflected from each sparkling fountain,
Till its svery spray takes the rainbows soft hues.
And love in our hearts falls like evenings light dews,
The May.days lang syne Of our glad careless child
hood,
When rowing at will thro' the shadowy wildwood,
We cued the blue volets, and bright frail wild
flowers,
To twine fresh Crown for some May Queen Of ours
And wrea,hed it amid the soft rnglets that clustered
In sweet golden light, that no storm then e'er
rustled,
Till the tempest of life with its sorrows rude power
Shook the wreath from the brow, gave thorn for
each flower,
And blanching with silver the curls of soft gold,
Left its impress to tell Of The hearts growing old.
And we all can remember our youth when each
May-day,
Renewed all the Spring.tme Of lie in its hey.day,
And weep for the light Of the past that is shaded
Weep for it's flowers forever now faded
Sigh for the bliss that forever is banished-
Clasp the vain shadows Of joy ere they've van
ished-
Pray God, the wild phantoms that we are pursuing,
With earth-wearied hearts tho they heed not our
wooing,
Will change to joyful fruition above,
Where united we'll sing one long May day Of love.

A NEW ENGINE.

now engine and engine-house arc necessary to the
greater security Of our village property; and We un-
derstand that an effort on foot to build the and
obtain the other This is laudable and should be car
red out When it is, there will exist the further
cessty of attending to the exercises Of the Fire Com
pany with tenfod the zeal that has heretofore been
manifested amongst us. Without this, an Engine is
worth little or nothing. With it, much good might
be done and some serious calamities avoided.
Mr.. LEBBscuULrz, Secretary of the present Fire
Company has addressed letters to several Insurance
Companies, requesting assistance in this business.
his applications successful think the owners Of
real estate in town ought to step forward and do their
part likewise. fine Engine might be thus procured,
and new Company formed on sounder basis and
with more vigorous rules of government.

JONES AND BROWN.


This is not bad, which we extract from tn
aumber of RrssEL's MAGAZINE:
Jones had once single bed,
Shorter than his four foot wife;
On shelf, loaf Of bread,
Half fork and broken knife,
Lonesome, empty whiskey jug
Iron spoon and fractured mug
Pipe Of clay, with horrid crack,
Last years Miller's Almanac
These we're all his goods you add,
Jones tho next to nothing had.
True; but though wretched boast,
Jones his next to nothing lost;
And the whole calamity
OF the fire must be endured;
Jones was quite too poor to be
Even, "partially insured"
Brown, the bachelor, next door,
Had q house Of marble fine
Rice, and grist, and meats in store
Casks Of brandy and of wine
Snow-white sugar, silver spoons
Extra boots and pantsloons-
Old cigars and cards in packs
Books in red morocco backs
All that "many men desire;"-
But devastating FIRE
Burned the marble mansion down,
And its fIings up. Did Brown
Weep the confsgration o'erl
Mo- the loss can be endured;
Brown is richer than before
Brown was "heavily insured"
