Ore OF the nSugeestOnsy In Hawthorne's Notes,
published m the last AttaRtjc Monthly, has been
worked up BY q writer in the Boston Post. II is
tnat hint OF stery whose incldents tall within the
Rleam OF street lamp and its catastrophe simulta-
he wI.n s last sxprng Geam scb snOoG an % not
save unOer its stimulation, says the writer:-
Out of the ale-house. Swablan,
Out in the binding sleet;
This way over the foot bridge;
Ware of the slippery street.
'Tis Hans, the bluff ire-warden.
Blowing bis midnight horn
Aloft on dim st. Clements;-
Twere better you meier were born.
There is frenzy in thy senses;
There are devils in thy sight:
This way over the footbndge
In the streak OF its hickering light.
What runs In thy veiny courses9
ls't blood, or the chill OF blight?
Ist warmth for thy mumblng senses,
Out in this fearful night?
Out in the fearful midnight,
Twere better ones head we're clear;
Has the glare of this storm-ewept lantern
A devils rollickihg leer?
wouldst mock at this watchlight, Swabian,
AS If 'twere some registering form?
Dost think that fickering phantom
Can brave so dread storm?
Out in the fearful midnight
battle OF gust and beam
An angry heaven above thee;
Below, an angry stream.
There's yawning gulf, 0 Svabian,
Where the storm, in its whirling wrath,
Has torn from the skeleton timbers
The planks in thy trembling path.
Out in the fearful midnight
Here by the fitful light,
Think OF thy souls reversion,
Think of its pristine might.
Beware thy one step further,
And the lanterns beckoning leer;
There's death in the sliding torrent
There's brink to the jarring pier.
wall in the fearful midnight;
In the ravening tide--a splash
The sleet on the lantern rattles
But the night has caverned its flash!
