The Summer is Over.

BY ENELTNE :. sMIlH.
Softly Autumn winds were sighing
Over pale, sweet iowcrets dying,
As rOamed tho garden trying
There to find one lingering rosc.
Mid the hricry bushes creeping,
Under tndcd leaflets pceping,
Here and there still vaimiv Keeping
Hopeful search till dnylights close.
Disappointment then stole DER me;
thoughts of Winter gloomed before mo:
Time. said |, may nc'er restore mo
Summers blisslul scenes again.
Had only priced the roses,
Priced its days of cloudless closes,
Prized its balmy eyes rcposcs,
Less were now my grief and pain.
But, alas those hours went stealing
Like vciled beauties by. coucealing
llalt the charms, whose full revealing
Might have left this heart aglow-
Might have left fond mcm'res beamipp
On the spirits after dreaming;
Tender bcacons softly cleaning
Where Lifc's d0rkcn'd waYelets flow.
List, ye maids now dancing lightly,
l!ist, sc mouths so gay and sprigtly,
Use your summer moments rightly,
Gather roses while yc may.
Life hath but ono June. remembers:
Quickly comes its chill November,
Followed soon by wild December
Sweeping all fair flowers away.
Think how sad, when summer closes,
IN" great Natures hcnrt rcposes,
rms fond searching after roses,
When the roses all are dead
Wisely. then. while Spring smiles o'cr We.
piuck the flowers that bloom before yc--
Flowers whose sweetness shall restore ye
YOUTHS delights, when youth has fled.

How THEY HUNTED BUFFMo.-Frank
Lcslic's paper has full sized i'lustra-
ton of the probable method in which
% my lord Cavcndish" and his accom-
panying sprigs Of nobility hunted buf,
falO ON the Red River OF the North.
The picture represents them mounted
on flying courscrs, who are securing
the prairie with the speed of the wind,
the gallant riders all excitement and
energy, with big buffalo-not before,
but behind each rider whose furious
looks denote that kingdom come is
near at hand for the valorous hunters
Each particular hair on the heads OF
the johnny Balls stands a different
way, and the upturncd eyes invoke
Heaven to witness that if they hevcl
get 'omc again they will leave buffalo
alone. We believe the picture doe:
our IIcnglish friends injustice, as they
certainly did kill two buffalo calves
a prairie wolf and several horses. Blu
my hcycs, it wouldn't do to hint to tn,
f young lord Johnics that they though

A FATAL BEAR FIGHT.--A correspon-
dent writing from Portchester, \. Y.
says that the citizens of Rye and Har-
rson have been seriously annoyed by
what has turned out to be a large
grizzly bear. The monster having
been tracked to swamp. he was
found snugly ensconced in the crevice
of large clump of rocks. Mr.. Mer-
rift 5. Clark, accompanied by two col
ored men named Thomas Wilson and
Tilley Jackson, the latter armed only
with clubs, made an attack upon Brn'
in, Mr.. Clark giving him the contents
of a well-loaded gun. The colored
men followed up with their clubs,
when the bear turned upon them, in.
stantly killing Wilson, and injuring
Jackson so that he is not expected to
recover. Mr.. Clark having reloaded
fred agar with good effect, and Other
parties coming up, the bear was sum
marily dispatched. The writer of the
letter says that the bear is of the
largest size, but where he came from
is a mystery.
