As the Peach World will be pressing, and the

It is desired, so that they may be prepared for

rzsH DxISa SUMMER.

Fiery Summer now is dying,
Shorter daily grows her breath;
Soon,her beauty win be lying
InAthe cold embrace Of death.
Short her reign of golden splendor;
Brief thetrismph Of her power;
All her pomp she must surrender
To the sovereign Of the hour.
.rsrant-like she ruled and reveled,
Hredless Of her subjects pain
Tyrant-like, she shall he eveled
Low into the dust again.
Days of restfuncs' re diwning,
breathing life and hope once more,
Whispering uf that l;,ircr morning
On the brighter letter shore.
Stll, o dying one, in sadness
Linger we thy couch around;
Tears are mingled with our gladness-
See, they drop upon the ground
Queen and tyrant though we found thee,
Crushing even life away,
Yet the beauties spread around thee
Almost made us love thy sway.
Perfumes. Of ten thousand flowers
Charmed our seDses half to sleep.
Snow-white lilies, rose-twined bowers,
Carpets green, where violets creep.
JessamfDe and orange grove,
Myrtle and magnolia tree,
And o Ter head the cooling dove
Such.thy haunis Of revelry;
Fading now, so slowly, sadly,
whitening, lost, thy royal WREATH
All the wealth once used SO madly,
Fails thee in the hour of death.
Ye, who led by fierce ambition,
Stake your all on earthly power,
Take solemn admonition-
From the Summers dying-heur.
Learn that all the pomp and glory
OF your loftiest, proudest dream
But vain and empty story
in the hour OF death will seem!

TELEGRApHIC COMMUNICATIONS WITH
THE PLANETs.--Thc latest and most fam
tastic suggestion in the way of telegraphy
is that of French enthusiast, who, like
inventors and originatorS Of grand ideas,
is now being heartily laughed at in Europe
for his pains. The old plan with discov-
ercrS was to rack or burn them; the new
plan is to cover them with riliculc. Per-
baps in this case the punishment is not
ill-descrved. Our enthusiasts proposal is
not to fly to the moon, but to commune
cate with the planets. lie wishes to mount
Il gigantic mirror, capable of being readily
moved and to give flashing signals to
Jupiter and Venus. Ills theory is, that if
these are repeated regularly at given inter-
walls aud in equal numbers of times, the in
habitants of the planets will come to dis
Germ them, to understand that they mean
something, and to return them. Should they
do this a code Of signals could nnanfcstlv,
without much difficulty be devised. The
propoSer of this curious scheme points out
that even now bright spots arc occasional.
ly seen on some of the planets, and sug-
gcsts that they may possibly DO similar
signals from the Inhabitants Of these orbs
to each other and to Us. The idea is said
to have been discussed before now, and to
have been abandoned; but, however im-
practicable or absurd, it has been thought
worthy of serious attention by the French
Academy OF Sciences.
