The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-11-28
ADVENT OF BoREAs.-On last Sunday

ADVENT OF BoREAs.-On last Sunday
and Monday, we of the mountain were
favored with fall of some three or four
inches of snow, thereby forming delight
tul basis for operations of a tintinnabulato-
ry nature. As long as the supply lasted,
"the merrie jingle of the bells" was the
order of the day as well as of the night.
Everybody hereabout owns at least one
horse and sleigh, and as tho inducements
Of "the first snow of the season" are ire
sistible, everybody embraced the opportu-
nifty to have good o!d time-all to him
self, or to himself and wife, OF to self and
"gai, as the case may be.
The approach of Winter is universally
dreaded, but when it once makes its debut,
the ideal terrors with which it is clothed
are in great measure dissipated by the
real pleasures and enjoyments it dispcnses
Winter on the top Of the Alleghanies, too,
is something different from Winter any
place else. Here the silvery bells delight
the senses with an uninterrupted swell of
enchanting melody from November to
March /; in less favored localities sporadic
skifts of half formed snow, evanescent ass
fame itself, and useful for naught but to
enter into the composition Of filthy article
of mud, mark the presence of the Frost
King. Wherefore, webbing of ye noun
ting-throw up our hat for Winter
Our Poetical Contributor, who probably
took advantage of the recent favorable
opportunity to breathe the bracing atmos-
phere Of wintry day at 2:40 pace, fur
nishes the following Hyemal Habnab in
honor Of the occasion
Oh!
The snow the beautiful snow
The crystallized vapor-yclept snow!
Fair as the down from angels wing,
Or gossamer web--or anythiugl
Dreamy, delicious, delightful snow,
Drop ye, like blessings, on all below:
Obscuring the sky,
Likewise the trees
As onward ye fly
In the swift-winged breeze
Clothing the ear,h in white capote,
And other things doing, too num'rous to note
Oh the snow! the snow
You know
FamoUsly rendered per favor of Poe
How now we glide DER the whitening crest |
Care fitting far from our bosoms, I'm blest |
Merrily CHEEKY, the jubilant clang
Of sIIVery cells float on air-gFlang!
OH the snow the snowl
Ho! ho!
Great institooshun to mortals below
drink to thee freely my big thing on ice,
In Heidsi :k-or lager, if such viii suffice
One favor ask, tho that thy grimsoue sid |
form
Be broke to us gently-don't take US by
Kind snowl
All this, of course it is unnecessary to
add, is extremely good poetry 1t con-
tains variety of large things. 1t more
over is of a totally different metrical com.
position from anything down in the books
In short, it is happy originality. We
are proud of it,
