The evening had come, by my window sat-
Aud nothing was stirring not even rat,
The moon thro' my window was shining ~ bright
That nature looked lovely, yes, even at night
| thought that Dame Nature resembled n maiden,
On whom sore affection was heavily laden =
She smiled, a. she wept pearly dew-drops Of sor-
row
Smiled, for her bright hopes would return on the
morrow
The mantle she wore, like mourner's was dark,
On my cheek her warm breath came 50 balmy-
but bark
Tap. tap, tap, so andby heard at my door, =.
That bid ii "come in," but thought Il bore "
To be interrupted while thus in my muse;
But thot l. some friend perhaps has the "bues,"
And wants to come in to while out an hour
Not stay long, thot ], for III look awful sour.'-
Tap, tap, tap, again heard so plainly, went
To the door, for the purpose to see what It meant
But 10 no one stood there, gazed with surprise,

Or say, can il be the old ID himself2
listened again, tap, tap, tap, on the ceiling
1t must be spirit some message revealing =
II conjure you," cried, ''if you are spirit,
To rap as before so plainly can hear it,
When three raps came louder then ever before,
So earnest they came, doubted no more.
Then please let me know by what means can
tell
Whether you are friend, or fend Of yon hell"

My pen ceased its ramble, friend Noah had fin
ished,
But yet my great duties were nothing diminished,
To make these things public that Noah had said
Though some "would believe not, though one left
the dead,")
| visited COPELAND, and found it was true,
And found that friend Webster had named but q
few
Of his Book. and his Stationery. And here
would say,
Like BENJAMIN franklin, the lightnings obey
His beck and his nod-through his agency, news
Whatever he has not, and YOU should chance
need it,
Just leave him your orders he surely will heed il.
And now of his Stock you should want to know
more,
Near the Bridge, upon Main street is CoPElASp's
Book STokE.
