But the Enquirer was not prompt in secouding
this motion, and not until some days after did

THE DEAD SUMMER.

All how she camo and went 60 stealthily
That ono can make the short-lived periods seem,
Even with their wreath of blooms and song of birds
No other than dream
And yet the summer has withheld no gift
Such ms God annually sends. The grateful shower,
Tho glorious sunshine, and the healthful breeze
Have blessed each passing hour.
The seed time and its cheerful promises
of rich reward for labor have been given,
With luscious fruits and flowers, like f!led
With the sweet breath Of heaven.
Evon now, while wrapped in royal drapery,
Lteless upon her bier the summer lies,
The hills, as if unconscious OF her fate,
Still wear their rich green dyes.
So quietly she left us, and SO fair
The bushing blossoms looked that last she kissed,
Wo did not deem that anywhere earth
So soon she would be missed.
But now the sunlight falls with paler beams,
And sadder look upon tho tender grass
And winds, ah me, the plantive, wandering winds
Chant dirges MS they pass
While The lone cricket by my cottage door,
All tendency to lighter moods restraining
Breaks the deep stiffness Of this autumnel eve
With the rythmical complaining.
Somewhere n summer waits that in due time
viii como and smile upon the dead one's sleeping
And open into bloom the folded buds
! Which spring has in her keeping.
And those who wait and watch will greet with cheers
| Each joyous signal of her queenly coming,
And nature will break out in songs again,
! Sweet as the brook let's hummng.
! Thus ono by one the hurrying seasons pass,
| Each cycle narrower to our human seeming,
Till, glaucing upward, 10 the brief years lie
Like some deusiye dreaming.
Only the good and true, of all our acts,
Like tmid stars, from out tho darkness stealing
Strike their pure lights along tho slope of time,
Lfes real worth revealing.
