Poetry.



In the valley still and lone,
Where the brook in merry glee
Leaps Ger many mossy stone.
Grows the Wild Anemone.
Sweetest harbinger of Spring,
Earliest flower that decks the lea,
First to hear the blue-bird sing.
Beautiful Anemonel
Often have I wandered there
Happier ne'er could moments be-
Hand in hand with maiden fair.
Plncking the Anemone.
Gentle maid of beauty rare,
Oh, she was fay TO see,
When decked her raven hair. =
With the bright Anemone.
Often sat I with my love,
By the patriarchal tree, =
:, That with arms outstretched abore.
Blessed the gentle maid and me;
And we thought The world own.
Twas King, and Queen was she,
Reigning In her flower crown,
OF the wild Anemonel
But the world with change is rife.
And our dream of loyalty
Was as fleeing as the life
OF the frail Anemone.
Time hath borne the flowers away.
And my love is fsr from me-
Yet / dream again TO day
OF the Wild Anemonel
For the elfns of the bowers,
With their gladstone revelry
Soon will wake the zephry- flowers,
From their siumber on the lee.
And with bounding heart ween,
VIII haste to glen and tree, -
There to greet my summer-queen
And the wild Anemope.

temporaries of the Cincinnati Gazette, seem,
like ourselves, to have been hoaxed by Mr. Bu-
chanan, but the "sell7 seems to have touched
them more on 1.-THE raw" than it did US.
They say:
After Mr. Buchanan had read his voluminous
Message to his Cabinet, and received the con-
CALCULATIONS of the sages he has collected about
him. he must have felt infinite degree of self
complaicency; and when this, his first state pa
per- which he knows will be bound up with
Presidents Messages, and handed down with
other state papers to the latest posterity, was
actually delivered to Congress, his qualification
was so great that in his excess of satisfaction,
he telegraphed to all his postmasters the follow
ing-"The Message has been delivered TO Con-
gress."
Some of the postmasters did not know OK
actly what to make of the dispatch; but suppo-
sing of course they were expected, when hon
Ored with private message from the President,
tn answer it, telegraphed back to Washington
their Congratulations on his safe delivery.
Others supposed that advanced copies for the
press had been mailed to their care, and that
this was the signal for their distribution
So, too, the telegraph operators and the press
understood, and the newspaper men all gathered
round the local postmaSterS, waiting night and
day for the copy" When 1t was known that
it would not be forwarded to Chicago or Louis
vile, agents and dispatches from these and other
cities poured into Cincinnati, for the message.
They waited late Tuesday night, but no mes
sage. All day Wednesday, with no better sue
cess. Wednesday night, the post office clerks
were fed on oysters, etc, to keep them at the
office, that they might open the late mail, and
deliver the message, but no message came. 1t
was then ascertained that no advance copies had
been sent, and newspaper men all went home TO
wait for it by due course of mail.
The dispatches of the President to his post
masters were probably rightly interpreted by
we're forwarded IN the exuberance of Mr.. Blu
chanan's joy on his first born message seeing
the light Those pOStmasters who neglected to
honor the dispatch by forwarding their congrat-
ulations, are said to be in great trepidation, and
We should not be surprised if every postmaster,
who neglected to reply, will soon h. honOred
with another dispatch, which will Iea thus:
