The evening had come, by my window sat-
And nothing was stirring, not even o rat,
The moon thro' my window was shining so bright,
That nature looked lovely, yes, even ut night.
! thought that Dame Nature resembled maiden,
On whom sore affection was heavily laden =
She smiled, as she wept pearly dew-drops of sor-
Smiled, for her bright hopes would return on the
morrow.
The mantle she wore, like mourners was dark,
On my cheek her warm breath came SO bslmy-
bnt harkl
Tap. tap, tap, SO audibly heard at my door,
That bid it "come in" but thought It a bore"
TO be interrupted while thus in my muse;
But tho't I, some friend perhaps has the "blues,"
And wants to come In to while out an hour
Not stay long, tho't !, for III look awful sour
To the door, for the purpose to see what 1t meant
But 10 no one stood there, gazed with surprise,
But thought l, perhaps, d" II IS all in my eye"-s.
But what can il be, say, is itan elf?
Or say, can it be the old ID himself2
listened again, tap, tap, tap, on the ceiling
1t must be spirit some message revealing -
81 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 I can
tell
Whether you are friend, or fend of yoD hell"
felt strong impulse to go to my stand
Before scarce knew 1t my pen was In hand
am great Noah Webster-you have heard Of my

vention,

My pen ceased its ramble, friend Noah had An
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 1t was true,
And found that friend Webster had named but
few
Of his Books and his Stationery. And here
would say,
Like Benjamin Franklin, the lightnings obey
His beck and his nod-througi his agency news
Is sent to all quarters, where'er you may choose.
Whatever he has not and you should chance
need IL,
Just leave him your orders, he surely will heed IT,
And now of his Stock you should want to know
more,
Near the Bridge, upon Main street is coPKLAsD's
Book SToRE.
