THE CAwING OF THE CROW.

BY LII BILLINGS SPALDING.
o well do I remember, in the month of
brown September,
As 1 wandered through the woodlands
when the trees were ali aglow,
For the tints of fall were on them, and I
sighed and thought upon them,
Till my reverie sad was broken by the
cawing of the crow.
Then I'd creep from out my haven, and
watch the moody raven,
As she fluttered through the branches
that creaked above my head,
While listened there with longing in hopes
she'd change her cawing
To notes of warbled sweetness, song, if
nothing more;
But she only mounted higher, and spread
her wings on air,
With herofcawing, cawing, cawing, re-
peated DER and DER.
o well do l remember, as I sat before the
fender,
Fcrgettul of the lesson unlearned upon
my knee,
And saw within the embers, that flashed in
fiery splendors
istrA ge visions of odd cities that persisted
u z ago;
And lostsin vagrant dreaming, lost in for
getful seeming,
Twas startled to the real, by the cawing
of the crow;
Then I'd gaze from out the window, then
on the waving cinder,
As l shuddered at the groaning of the
wild winds fierce and low,
But she moved her wing as slightly, and
took her way as lightly
As when summer suns were trailing DER
the hills with fiery glow.
o well do remember, when falls rare fad
ing splendor
Had wellnigh spent its brightness that
blushed at autumn's call,
When l wandered forth to gather the nuts
which wind and weather
Had dashed from off the branches-the
offering of fall
When filed the trimming casket-a round
and uncouth basket
And drew myself up proudly in readiness
to go;
thought heard a rustling, and 'mong the
leaves hustling,
And started half in wonder at the cav
ing of the crow;
For she claimed her share of booty, very
likely twas her duty
To lay up stores for winter, ere the cold
north winds should blow,
And with fear she futtered DER me, her
pinions dark above me,
And her cawing cawing, cawing, repeated
DER and DER.
Dwell do / remember, though LIES varied
September
Hath tinted youths bright summer with
the sombre autumn's glow,
And these memories steal before me in the
wool of life's strange story,
Glad in living-seeming real-at the cav
ing of the crow.
How strange the life of mortals, here in
these gloomy portals,
Where we have so little summer, and so
much of wintry woe;
And life links closely woven, too strong to
e'er be cloven
By just such little triies as the oa,0ing Of
a crOlg.
And we love to think upon them, when the
muse has kindly clothed them
In strange and dreamy real Of a startling
natural glow,
And we reverence each slight pleasure that
in youth we loved to treasure,
And even stoop to cherish THE GAMING OF
GROW.

The following extract is probably what

to General Hancock by the two hundred

the Chicago Tribune says:
Among quite number Of the signers
claiming to hail from the North are about
dozen with g Maryland placed after
their names. One Of these is Henry Green,
the financial manager Of the New Orleans
Times, who has probably lived in the South
for nearly half a century, and Is as bitter q
confederate as 1t contains Another is
Edward Hancock, Of the same paper, an
other bitter confederate, who passed his
time at Nassau aud Havana during the

evidence Of bis loyalty. On the contrary,
among the worst secessionists New Orleans
OF the South ever had were Northern men
and the worst Of these were rather likely
to hail from Massachusetts OF some otheI
New England state.
