INDIAN SUMMER.

There is time just when the frost
Prepares TO pave old Winters way,
When Autuma in 4 reverie lost,
The mellow daytime dreams awayj
When summer comes, in musing mind.
To gaze once more on hill and delI,
To mark how many sieaYes they bind,
And see if oil are ripened well.
With balmy breath she whispers low,
The dyigg flowers look up and give
There sweetest incense ere they 60,
To Him who made their beauties live
She enters meath the woodlands shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently whore are lsii
The loved and lost ones OF its grief.
At last old Autumn, rising takes
Again his scepter and bis throne,
With boisterous hand the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all bis own,
Sweet Summer signing, flies the plain,
And waiting sinttr guant and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think it's all for him.

"MY LORD Out Of the love bear to

TO shift OF your attendance at this Parliament;
. for God aai mau have conceived TO punish the
wickedness of this time And think not
slightly Of this advertisement, but retire your
self into the country, acre you may expect
the even. in safety. Fer though there be no
appearances of auy stir, yet, say, they will
ressIve terrible blow this Parliament, aud yet
they shall not see who hurts them. THIS coun

II will BE- observed that the length Of time
wtilo the plot was maturing, tho number Of
+ persons engaged in it, and the anonymous let

noide with the incidents Of John Browns

But here The parallel ends. Lord Monteagle

be distrusted its authenticity, instantly took
measures to detect aud suppress the cOnsPira-

explicit letter in his hands, gives 40 hint Of it.

! sion come.
/ And whya in Lord Mon,eagie's day theye
were no elections pending that could be infu-
ence3 By silence aad coDcealmen:; in cur day
there are.
There IS much reason to fear that the letter
to Secretary Floyd was wiifully suppressed
that the government, HliIa wovsliog against
the possible success OF the movement, permits
ted it to be made sbat it might charge ii upon
