And art thou coming Winterl
In thy wild and stormy might
To cast o'er earth's lovely things
Thy pale and withering light?
Av, here he comes DER the drcary world.
feel his breath-ah me. how cold.
He wears the same wild haggard brow,
Which he wore when in his prime,
And he sngeth the same shril song,
Which he sang in the olden time;
The same hoarse moan DER the field and dell
Ahl ha. old Winter. l know thee we'll.
Thou art coming, icy Winter
To tell the same sad tale,
OF bright things passing from the earth
With sigh and moan and wall;
OF fair flowers fading one by one,
As thy sable banners cloud the sun;
A chant from the polar choir peals out,
Wildly and full of wo,
Asmarch thy fierce escadrons forth,
From their battlements of snow:
A requiem it's DER pale summers form,
Or the deep war-cry of the gathering storm,
Thy cohorts with their night black plumes,
Shut out the bright blue sky;
All nature mourns the fast decay,
Of Summers blazonry:
Now murmering low, now shrieking wild,
She sorrows DER her dying child,
The lips of the prattling brooks are sealed,
And the singing birds nave flown,
Away, away to come bright land
To thee and thine unknown,
And even man in his pride grows pale,
And trembles at thy fierce assail.
Thy trumpet rings thro' the mountain pass,
With ftful, rid halloo,
And the halestones drum on the hollow trees,
With a mournful rat-tat-too.
Oh spare in thy fearful marches, spare,
The fruitful field and the gay parterre.
But the fierce battalions filing on,
Nor hear nor heed my cry;
And dirge for the fair and flowery field,
Swells through the darkened sky;
And showers of icy javelins fall,
The only answer to my call.
But 10 flag of truce hangs out
In spotlessfolds on high,
And the snow fakes wheel in light plstoons,
Through the dark and troubled sky,
And now, ike the ghosts of murdered flowers
They seek the earth in countless showers:
They fall on the mountains giddy height,
In the dark raviLe they fall.
And Ger the distant city's domes
Z They spread their radiant pall,:
That beautious snow like winding sheet,
Isspre.d over forest and field and street.
On the storried monument it falls,
Plots out the studied verse,
And covers all the high and low,
With one unsculptured hearse.
Methinksit lies more lightly on
The grave of the broken hearted one,
The folds of Parian turban now,
Ihs sviilage spire doth hide;
Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1858-02-18
And seel it dresses the old yew tree
AS gay rs a bonny bride.

And seel it dresses the old yew tree
As gay rs bonny bride.
With an ermin cloak it wraps the plain,
And shuts the blast from the growing grain.
Come on. CONS on old Winter!
Spring wears winning smile,
And Summer has lulling art,
To charm and to beguile,
And autumn is in beauty drest,
But thy rough form love the best,
Thou tellest me of long ago,
OF childhood's spotless day;
Of boyhOod's freaks by the old fire side
OF friends now passed awayj
Albeit to me thy accents drear
Tell that life's winter draweth near.

DESTRUCTION OF A Court House IN MIS-
sIssIrPI-Slo0, 900 Loss.-The fine brick
Court House, at Kosciusko, Atala county,
Miss, was destroyed by fire on the 10th ult.,
the work of an incendiary. The Chronicle OF
that town says the loss will be about $780,
900. In the second story all the offices were
kept, the lower story being used for the
court room, il had cost from first 10 last, in
GLIDING repairs, not less than $25, 900. The
county is very heavy sufferer; so is the
Sheriff, who lost some $4,000 in cash,
besides his papers. Messrs. jackson and
Scarborough, Circuit and Probate Clerks,
lost immensely, particularly Mr.. Scarbo-
rough, who had not less than $40, 900 worth
of promissory notes, besides other valuable
papers in his desk Captain Sanders lost a
large amount of valuable papers Mr.. Niles,
a valuable law library, &c. This calamity
will be felt for years and years to come, as
it has destroyed every proof of title to thou
sands of dollars worth of property, all the
records of the Probate Court, wills, &C., all
the papers appertaining to suits in the Cir
cult and Chanccry Courts.
There are many counties in this State
daily liable to a like disaster, from the
wretched arrangement of the buildings oc-
cupied for Court Houses, and the negligent
manner in which every thing about them is
conducted. Every Court House ought to
have fire proof vault in which all the pub
lie records should be constantly kept.

GEN. CAss' AGE AND WEALTH.-The &C.
casional correspondent of the Philadelphia
Prezs says: .-.-...s
Gen. Cass, who must be nearly eighty,
is feeble, but is hard at work. This extra
ordinary mans career is alike study and
an example. He has lived a blameless life,
and has grown to distinction almost entirely
by his own efforts. He is now one Of the
richest men in the Union. He invested
heavily in the town of Detroit, Michigan, of
which he was pioneer, and the growth of
the West especially since the railroad sys-
tenn has extended its powerful influence, has
vastly appreciated his property. He is said
to lie worth four or five millions. And yet
with all his wealth, he lives a frugal and
abstemious life. The management of his
vast estate IS confided TO his enterprising
son-in-law, Mr.. Ledyard, who resides in
Detroit.

Bag Some weeks ago, an old story, that
has been current among the members of the
bar in this judicial district for thirty years,
has been repeated in the newspapers several
times and is contained in the Hon. o. II.
Smiths "reminiscences, was botched up and
related in a very pointless manner in the
Princeton Indidnian. The story itself is
good. In an endeavor TO give il some point
and shape, we wrote and constructed the
article anew. II was designed for a select
cd article for the first page, and our young
contemporary would have got credit-as he
has heretofore done in these columns-ior
what he did not fully deserve, had not the
copy got into the hands of the compositor
before il was finished, and being in manu-
script, he set il up as editorial, and the story
came out in our columns half told, and be-
side made US the second or third hand re-
taller of an old joke, an honor of which we
are not very ambitious.
This avidity to claim credit for every
slight contribution to the current paragraphs
that run the rounds of newspapers, does no
very great credit to those who exhibit it
We hare observed at one time fifteen papers
daily copying our reports for months with
out an allusion to the source from which
they derive them. We have often counted
in some country exchanges from three to
seven columns copied at a time from the
JOURNAL without credit-often adopted as
editorials. We have been highly fattered
by these transfers, and We maintain num-
Der Of exchanges solely to keep US apprised
of the interest we succeed in giving our
own sheet. II We succeed in making up
good weekly paper, we are quite sure to see
half of it reproduced in two or three other
localities. When they take nothing from
us as their own, we are mortified, and are
sure We have failed in pleasing our readers.
We would for no consideration part with
our friends who act in this way, as fattering
monitors. o.

Great National Jubilee.

1t is proposed to celebrate the laying of
the Atlantic Cable by grand National
Jubilee, both in England and the United
States. 4 day is to be selected, on which
to celebrate, simultaneously on both sides of
the Atlantic, this, the greatest achievement
of the age. There would be this difference
between such a celebration and many others
that can be named-every man capable of
understanding the object of it would feel the
enthusiasm which he expresses.

FROM CHINA.-Thc Louisville Journal
gives the following summary Of the Chinese
news:
Lord Elgin seems determined TO bring his
Celestial Majesty to terms, il the thing be
possible. The latest advices from China,
left him on the point of advancing UP the
Pei-ho, after having assailed and carried the
formidable forts at the mouth of that river
The Pei-ho, as everybody knows, is the
rivers on which Pekin is situated, lao miles
up-and Pekin, nothing less, is his lordship's
peror in his capital.
What facilities he possesses for doing the
thing handsomely and with handsome effect
does not very definitely appear but we are
assured, generally, that he has the requisite
means within easy reach of his command.
We hope he has. We admire his pluck, and
cordially wish him and his French ally the
most complete success in their novel enter
prise. If they see their way through to this
result however, it is, we confess, more than
we do.
| If the news of their advance up the
Rhine, throws the Emperor into panic, il
may be all very well; but if it doesn't and
he coolly and doggedly deies them, and
sets about annihilating them in the regular
quaint celestial fashion, it will not be so
well, and We really don't see how they can
better it, except by backing out OF the
scrapc As to their capturing and holding
the heart of an empire of 300, 1000, 900 peo-
pie, it is plainly absurd. They might al
most as well attempt to seize and confine
| the PARTICLES of the ambient atmosphere.
Lord Elgin and his colleague evidently
depend mainly for success on the impression
of the strength and grandeur of their coun-
tries which they hope their audaciouS de-
monstration will excite in the mind of the
Emperor. We shall see, ere long, how just
ly they have calculated on his susceptibilities
| Meantime, the American representative, We
learn, prudently awaits the results of theil
operations. We ara satisfied that, on thu
whole, he could do nothing wiser.

The Suicide OF DIR. Beigler, the Abor-
tfOnfst.

The Suicide OF DR.. Beigler, the Abor-
Zionist.
The notorious DR.. Beigler, who was SEN
fenced at Buffalo, New York, two years ago
for causing the death of young woman,
whom he had seduced, by trying to produce
an abortion, committed suicide last week,
by taking aeonite.
DR.. Beigler was sent to Auburn about the
goth of May, 1857, by the Superior Court
of Buffalo, on a sentence Of seven years, for
causing the death of Amelia MUIR by abor-
ton. AT that time he resided in Rochester
with his family, and bis family still reside
there; his son, Dr. Joseph Beigler, succeeded
to his practice aud the management of his
affairs.
lie was, at the time of his death, on his
second term Of Imprisonment. Beigler was
previously discharged from prison by par
don in lS47, after confinement of two
years and five months. His crime was that
of arson, having set FIRE to his own house in
order to procure the insurance. He had
been very low and depressed in spirits for a
long time. All hope of pardon had long
since left him, and he became detected and
sad. He was constantly complaining Of i'll
health, and imagined himself afflicted with
an infinite variety of diseases. He had a
small pharmacy Of his own, which was al
lowed him by his keeper and the physician
and was supplied principally by his son at
Rochester. He had several walls of smother
tinctures," among which was "aconitum,
and here he procured the means by which,
unquestionably, his life was ended.
The Doctor was man sixty years old
and leaves widow and fivegrown children,
whose character and position have been re-
spectacle notwithstanding the crimes of the
father. The announcement of his death has
plunged the whole family into the deepest
grief; for through all the adverse fortune
which has assaulted the deceased, his family
appeared to cling to him with unwavering
fidelity, and now mourn bis death with The
same sincerity that characterized their at.
tachment in life.

G1- A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press says that John Hickman has the en-
tire confidence of his constituents. and will
be returned to Congress by large majority.
In speaking of Mr.. Hickman's address, at
Downington, the same correspondent adds
the following significant sentence:
On the tariff, Mr.. Hickman's views were
frankly and clearly expressed, and / believe
to the satisfaction of all present.
1t seems then, that the tariff question is
under DISCUSSION in Pennsylvania.
