The Unshe1tered Herd.

rx
Swift drive the chill blasts DER the withercd
And wavering bend the periled stacks of grain
The shivering cattle in tumuluous train
Forsake the stormy fields;
The monarch of the herd--his shaggy form
Wise with the instinct of presaging storm
Assails the air with believing alarm
And Pity toned appeals.
He sees the waning taper's fitful CLEAN,
And, cycling oft the couded Moons pale beam,
He hears the murmur of the hoarse-voiced
stream,
Delayed by Winters grasping chill.
Conc is the verdure Of the meadow lands.
The dead grass lies upon the frozen sands,
The leafless limbs outstretcth like waving hands
On yonder wind-swept hill.
Now gaze on that unshcltered, moaning herd,
And is their melancholy cry unheard?
And is no heart with mercy kindly stirred,
Amid tempestuous night?
o cruel man rouse from thy slumbers warm,
And hear the beating of the driven storm,
Nor haply dream, with joy surrounding charm,
Nor robed in peaceful quiet,
But, see thy snow-investured shivering kline,
Like quivering clods, upon the earth -ecline,
And hear the gathering gale, with hail combine,
To robe their drowsy bed
See how, with instinct of kindly age,
The aged herd the youngcrs' woes assuage,
And shelter spread mid housclcss, stormy rage,
With lent, protecting.
Learn then, the sleepiess rigors of untempered
wind
May startling dreams thy visioned eyes unblihd,
And funeral trains, with bowling fends COM
bincd.
Breed riot in thy brain.
Until the pale December's sterile sun
Blazons with fire the drowse-dispeiling dawn,
And circling clouds and icy pangs undone,
Forsake their bed of pain.

Twice Mistaken

Captain A., of Missouri, is known
all the way on the Mississippi from New
Orleans to Dubuque, as big hearted, jovial
fellow, who does not stand on the ceremony
OF an introduction before commencing an
acquaintance. The Captain is fond of u
drink, and moreover he does not like TO
drink alone. 1t so happened that business
called him to Washington, and he had as
conpas non dc royage, a stout, thick set
man, we'll up in years, who wore wig, and
who presented striking resemblance to
the late Lewis Cass To beguile the tedum
of the voyage, they chat,ed together and
they drank together.
Captain A., one evening after his ar
rival, thought he spied his companion in
the densely crowded Office of Browns Hotel,
and stepping mp to him, he briskly slapp, d
him on the hack, and remarked, "Come, old
fellow, let's take drink"
"Iou mistake your man., replied the
other with great gravity. "My name is
Cass, Senator Cass, from Michigan
The Captain, it is hardly necessary to
say, was greatly disconnected, and skunk
away.
In the course of the evening, however,
he was certain that he spied his man, and
rushing up 10 him, broke out with great glee,
"Well, I've found you at last. He he he /!
Capital joke to tell you. Hell he! he
Don't you think. met old Cass, and took
him for you. He! he! he! Clapped the
old fellow on the back, he ! he !! he! and,
says l, come, lets take drink, he he he!
and when he told me mistook my man,
didn't l slope, he !! he! he! The Captain
observed, however, that his companion did
not appear to appreciate the joke, but for
time preserved a rigid countenance, and
then broke in upon him, Il, sir, am Lewis
Cass, as told you before, and l cannot
allow you to indulge farther in these famil-
iariiies."
The Captain made no further attempts to
hunt up his former companion. He is yet
hale and jovial, but he is not fond of boat
ing how he made the acquaintance of the
late distinguished Senator from Michigan

The weather, on Saturday, as we
predicted it would be, was quite win
terish, being cloudy and cool, with
the wind from the northwest. The
river here had risen about seven
inches during the twenty-four hours
ending at 3 o'clock Saturday, and was
nearly stationary. Under the inhu-
ence of the heavy and protracted rain
of Friday and Friday night we do
not apprehend any immediate decline
of the river here. At Cincinnati the
river was falling on Friday.
