TO II POET, r. II. STODDAR
On reading his Songs Of Sse,uasT.
BY W, L, SHOEMAKER.
BY W. L. SHOEMAKER,

thank thee for thy book ofSuThmer Songs
book whose beauty DER my spirit filings
The light and glory of all Summer things,
That seem TO rise supreme DER Winters wrongs
rhou singing: yes, see againIhe throngs
That follow Summer with delighted wings;
hear their hymns aud wild bees mumurngs,
Counting each Hover that unto her belongs.
Thou brngest back the rose in all its bloom,
In shadowy arbors where the lovers heart
Is heard to throb amid the tender gloom
And eyes look love that words could ne'er impart
Youth, beauty, love- fairer by Thy art,
Even when thou twnest garland round their tomb
Such praise is thine; but more than this is thine:
Native to every cline Thy spirit seems
And all their passion thrills along thy line:
With thee stroll by oriental streams,
Or lose myself in sweet, volupluous dreams
Where Summer suns DER hills Italian shine;
Or from the Past, undyng splendor gleams,
Ger wales Sicilian, and old Greece divine
Nor seldom thou h CHER theme dost try
Higher, and OF mors potent melody:
We thrill to hear Demcters angushed cry.
Searching in vain for lost Persephone;
And, awed and charmed we follow in its quest
The passionate heart that sings "1he Burden of Unrest
sat and read them in a Winter night,
These Songs of Summer when the lght-winged SNOW
Streamed from a dismal sky, and earth below
Lay, like corpse, wrapt in It's pail ofwlnte;
And winds roaring with a voice OF might,
That sometimes sank 10 sounds OF wall and woe
The while my spirit felt Summer glow,
LuIea by sweet music, Tapped in soft delight.
These little songs, nesting i'll snow-white leaves,
Seemed like small birds warbimg, in orange bowers,
Notes, now ofjoy and now of loves sad smart,
blessed the art that swectly so deceives,
With gracious magic, Winters darkencd hours,
And makes Summer in the willing heart.
Georgetown, d. c., Jan. %, 1857.

The average cost Of American RAILWAYS has
been estimated to be 500 a mile, which il

railways have cost, on an average. SG40,000 .

French railways, $4,000; The German rail
ways, SjG,l00 Many reasons may he assi,.,-
ed for these variations. The Gerlaan and
American roads nave, in general, bat one track,
the French and English, two. The principle
pursued by the English engineers, who also

ring the past fifteen years the value Of the trade
OF the Lakes has swelled from 500, 100000 in

OF this grand aggregate, with the exception Of

The Government win depend chiefly on volunteer
troops for that SERVICE and upon " pile OF money
which must be obtained by resort to new loan,
Fonr hundred millions will fnl far short of the ex-
pense of this war. 1t will cost nearly as much az
the estimated expenditure upon the military expenses
Of the East India Government in the suppression OF

accounted as failure, unless the Mormon nsurree-
