FATE OF THE WITCHES.

The Witches are dead both the small and the great,
At Salem long since, did their crimes expiate-
Nolonger on broomsticks careering on high
They sweep the light c5bweb from out the blue sky
Or fastering perchance on some Iuckless wight
They bride and lash him all through the dark night
And leave him at morn at his cottage door,
Afrightcd and covered with scratches all o'er.
Or minging their shrieks with the voice of the Storm
They whirl through the dance, and their bowling.
prolopg,
From the wi.ching hour Of the Silly midnight,
Till frighted by morning they fee from the light.
And shattered old houses now tenantiess stand,
Without any fear of the carousing band,
Who sought IN their mischief FOR just such shelter
And fed approach with terrible skelter.
The horse shoe no longer is nailed Ger the door,
Or heated to redness is held the churn DER,
To keep out tho witches, or dispel the charm
OF the ugly old hag who wishes harm.
And goblins, and ghosts, being warned by the fate
Of the weird wretches of the Puritan State;
And impressed with awe for free institutions
Have left us our church yards free of intrusions.
Hollow groans spectral lights! and visages grim,
Haunt not the traveller in the twilight dim,
And the nurs'ry tales must needs be imported
That to frightn the children, ofl'n are quoted.
Let the Kingdoms of darkness turn out their hosts,
The Yankee may never more quake In his boots
In Salem the witches all went by the board,
And the natien rid of the miscreant horde.

When Shelley and Byron went to

Spezzia and Byron to Leghorn, thsJ
were accompanied by their friend. E. j.
Trelawney, wealthy Englishman with
nothing to do. Mr. Trelawney's. histo-
ry so far as we are interested in il, was
begun and ended within brief space cf
time. He met Shelley at Pisa T; Byrcn
few days later, in the same city. An
intimacy ensuei. He built them each q
boat. He rambled, rode, walked. talk
ed and drank with them. He hired q
house for Shelley on the bay shore, and
he finally accompanied him to his boat,
and watched him till out of sight, on
that stormy afternoon when he and
Williams were lost Then he built the
CRATE, and pan to burn their bodies he
kindled the funeral pile, poured the lib
ations of oil and wine over the dead
poet, gathered the ashes with his own
hands, byron and Leigh Hunt stand

Odysseus, the last of the rebels; confiH-

ENTHUSIASM IN a SUNDAY ScHooL.-s
The following acknowledged good yarn
is copied from New Hampshire paper:
A few years since, some roguish boy6
in small town not a thousand miles
from the capital of New Hampshire, per-
suaded Joseph N, or as he was gen.
orally called, "J3e," TO attend Sunday
School. Joe was an overgrown, half
witted, profane lad, and the Boys antic-
ipated considerable fun out Of him but
the answers to tie various questions pre-
pounded, 8ere given SO readily and corr
rectly, that no one could for moment
suppose that he was not fully versef in
theological lore.
Joe was duly ushered in and placed
on settee in front of the one on which
his friends were seated, and the recita-
tion commenced.
The teacher first questioned fhe class
On their regular lesson, and afterward;
turned to Joe.
"My friend" said the teacher, "Who
made the world we mhabitg'
"Eh 2" said Joe. turning mp his eyes
like an expiring calf
"Who made the world we ibhabit I"
just as he was pvohably about to give
the answer, one of the boys seated be-
hind inserted pin into his (Joe's) pants.

buttons on his coat. God Almighty"
answered Joe, in an elevated tone, at
the same time rising quickly from hIs
seat.
"That is correct replied the teacher.
"but it is not necessary that you shonld
rise in answering; a sitting posture is
Just as well.'
Joe was seated, ard the catechism
proceeded.
"Who died to save the world r.
The pin was again inserted, and Joe
replied, "Jesus Christ" in a slilf lctder
voice, rising as before from his seat.
"That is also correct, but do not man
fest so much feeling; do Be more COM
posed and mere reserved in your man.
ner," said the teacher in an expostulat-
ing tone..
After Joe had calmed. down, the ex-
animation went on.
"What will be the final doom of all
wicked men ~ was the subject now up
or consideration, and, as the pin was
lgain "stuck ill.," doe thundered out.
With higher elevation Of his body

"My young friend" said the instruc-
or, you give the true answers to all
hese questions but while You are here,
We wish you to be more mild in your
words. Do endeavor, if you cam to re-
train your enthusiasm and give less

The Gan,ins OF Paris.

There are no mistortunes SO great or Grim
inals of such a deep dye, that some fun is
not attempted to be made out of them by
the ob!ique hilarity and love of contr adic-
lions of some classes.
On the 9th Of February the immense an
nual cattle fair OF Poissy will have been
held. At this fair it is customary to
choose out the fat OK for the carnival that
is paraded about the streets decorated with
ribbons, and forms no uncomfortable portion
of the procession. This unfortunate animal
was baptised in advance by the gam,as Of
Paris, by the name of "Nana-Saib.'
The gamn Of Paris is represented in New
York, though feebly by the newsboy--there
il one essential difference between them, that
is that the New York boy yociferates for
living, the gdmin scorns to exert himself in
any way, the only duty he ever performs be.
