POETRY.

William Winter, the sweet and genial crit.
&c of the New York Tribune, has endeared
himself to all the lovers of art and music IN
this country by his appreciativc critiques and
his rare and discriminating TASTE Many OF
his admirers will read with pleasure the Iol-
lowing little poem recently written on Old
Times which contains the sentiment OF the
old veteran heart:
Rosy hours of youth aud fancy
Happy hours of Long Ago
All the playful, pictured memories
Let us catch them as they flow
Galaxies of blue-eyed Marys,
With Julia or Jane,
Or troop of little Lauras,
Laugh and blush and ronlp again.
Moonlight meetings, evening rambles,
When the night was still around,
And a sweet voice, softly murmuring,
Or kiss, the only sound
These remember and remember
How the kind stars shoue above,
Keeping, in their softened splendor,
Watch and ward upon our love.
Youth is as a diamond dawning-
a Bold it breaks to gorgeous day.
Heavenly lights of power and beauty
Glance and CLEAN along its way.
Far within the mighty future
There be solemn voices heard;
Shaped to mary stately anthem,
Floats the music of word.
But that music, in the present,
Softly droops with sad decay,
Till IT'S echo n the spirit
Fants and falls and dies away.
Green be then the tender memory
Ofthe Past forever sped Il
That our youth may be immortal,
Though its days and dreams are dead
