MY HOLIDAY.

The town is blackning on the sky,
Its muffied thunders roll away,
To weary heart and languid eye
There beams holier light Of day,
o row-lined and throbbing brow,
Long pressed against the bars of toll,
What ecstasy awaits thee now
On yOnder sunny stainless soil!
The opening landscape stretches wide,
An endless swell of hill and plain,
With, through the golden haze deserted,
distant glimmer Of the main,
The woodland minstrels carol clear
From ont each green sequestred nook,
And meath their leafy haunts hear
The laughing answer Of the brook.
And losing here all sense Of wrong,
feel no more the clutch of care,
And dream a word Of light aud song
Where all are happy, all lie fair,
But DER me steals the enyious eve,
And spreads n veil Of sober grey,
When, as take reluctant leave,
glory dies along the way.
The fading landscape Ills with change.
The flowers grow sadly pale and droop,
And writhing trees with shadows strange.
Across my darkened pathway stoOp.
Long branches thrust from bank and crag
Seem, in the dim and dubious light,
Bare withered arms OF some lone bag,
Whose ineantatous thrill the night.
Again the engine ihunders on
My car Of triumph hours before
The visions and the bliss are gone,
Yet Memory boards her golden store.
And there, perchance, may hurst CLEAN
In after hours OF weary noise,
That may recall this passing dream
ofhappy signs and holy joys.

She walks in beauty like the night

And all that's best Of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed TO that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more,-cne ray the less,
Had halfimpair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens DER her face;
When though. serenity sweet express
How pure is their dwellinR-place.
And on the cheek and DER that brow,
So soft, SO calm. yet eloquent.
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell Of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below.
A heart whose love is innocent.

SINGULAR Discovery OF ANoIBNT Cons
The New Orleans papers report the discovery
Spanish house in the Second District Of that
city. The story runs TO the effect that an old
negro woman had complained frequently to
her mistress about an evil spirit which
haunted the place, floor, walls and ceiling Of
the kitchen, TO her great terror and the de-
struction Of her rest at night. On Sunday
night, March "a, this woman locked herself
in the kitchen with her little grandson, and
began search for money, which she nat
urally associated with the spirit. She dug
under the hearth, and discovered a heap o.
old silVer coin, the value of which has been
estimated by abroker at $3.50. Who buried
the money must remain q mystery. The
money, Of course, falls to the lady living in
the house.

ORIGIN OF THE TERN HUMBUG.-Among
the many issues of base coin which from
time to time were made in Ireland, there
was none to be compared in worthlessness to
that made by James H., at the Dublin mint.
1t was composed of any thing on which he
could lay his hands, such as lead, pewter,
copper and brass, and so low was its iu-
trinsic value, that twenty shillings of it was
only worth two pence sterling. William III
few days after the battle of Boyne, ordered
the crown piece and half fcrown should be
taken as one penny and one-half penny,
respectively. The soft mixed metal Of
which that worthless coin was composed,
was known among the Irish as Ulm bog,
pronounced Uirm bug, 1. e., soft copper, !. e.,
worthless money; and in course of their
dealings the modern use Of the word hum6ug
took lis rise, as in the phrase, .That's piece
of mmbog." Don't think to pass off your
uim6og on me" Hence the word humbug
came TO be applied to any thing that had a
specious appearance, but which was in
reality spurious. Oh
