bachelor, was coming to dine with him on the
following Sunday. Great were the prepara-

The September Gale.
Er OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

I'm not chicken; have seen
Full many chill September,
And though was youngster then,
That gale well remember;
The day before my kite string snapped,
And my kite pursuing,
The wind whi>ked off my palm leaf hat
For mc NO storms were brewing,
1t came, as quarrels sometimes do
Wien married folks get c.ashig
There was heavy sigh or two
Before the fire was flashing
little stir among the clouds.
Before they rent aslnder-
ii tie rocking of the uees.
And then came on the thunder,
Lord! how the ponds and rivers boiled,
And how the shingles ratt,ed.
And oaks were scattered on the ground
AS if the Titans battled;
Il above was in howl,
Aal ali beioy clatter-
The earth was like a frying pan,
Or some such kissing matter.
1t chanced to be our washing day,
And all our things were drying:
The storm came roaring through the lines,
And set them all flying;
saw the skirts and pet.icoats
Go riding OF like witches;
lost-ah bitterly wept-
lost my Sunday breeches
saw them straddling through the cir,
Alas too late TO win them;
saw them cha the clouds as if
The devil had been in them;
They were my dlrlings and my pride,
My boyhood's only riches
Farewell FAREWELL | family cried
my breeches 0, my breeches ~
That night saw them in my dreams
How changed from what | knew them.
The dews had stepped their faded threads,
The winds had whistled through them;
saw the wide and CHASTITY rents,
Where demon claws had torn them
A hole was in their anpl-st part,
As ii an imp had worn them.

And tailors kind and clever,
But those young pantaloons have gore

GLEASON ONCE MoRE IN TuR FIELD We
have learned, incidentally, says an Atlantic
exchange, that Frederick Gleason, Esq.
whose retirement from the publication of the
Flag of Our Union and Gleason's Pictorial
some years ago, when those admirable week
lies were at the height of their widespread
popularity, oeeasioned (t will be remem-
bered) both astonishment and regret through
out the country, has now on the tapis new
literary enterprise of greater magnitude and
attractiveness than those by the projection
and successful operation Of which he had
earned the high reputation with which he
then quilted the newspaper world. We well
come Mr.. Gleason back to the profession as
one who has, in every sense, done honor to it !;
and, we make no doubt, the editorial frater-
nifty everywhere will join us in congratu -
lating him upon being released from the Oh
legations assumed by him on selling the
Flag and Pictorial to their present proprietor,
not to resume the publishing business. 1t
appears that, for "a valuable consideration, -
(about sos ,0o0,) Mr.. Gleason has purchased
the right to return to vocation in which he
has no superior in the world and as he ha:
both the inclination and the most ample
means to surpass all his previous enterprises
the public may expect soon to see weekly
family newspaper that will make their eve,
