BY J. G. WHITTIER. .

A sound as-if from balls of silver,
Or elfin cymbals smitten clear,
Through the frost pictured panes hear.
A brightness which outshines the morning,
A splendor brooking no delay,
Beckons and tempts my feet away.
leave the trodden village highway, Il
For virgin snow paths g1immering through
A jeweled elm-tree avenue.
Where, keen against the wall of sapphire,
The cleaning tree-bolls, ice-embossed,
Hold up their chandeliers of frost.
tread in Orient Halls enchanted,
I dream the Sage's dream of caves,
Gem-lit beneath the North Sea waves.
walk the land of Eldorado,
l touch its mimic garden bowers,
It's silver leaves and diamond flowers.
The fora of the mystic vine-world,
Around me lifts on crystal stems
The petals of its clustered gems.
What miracle of weird transforming
In this wild work of frost and light,
This glimpse of glory infinite!
This fore CLEAN of the Holy City,
Like that to- him of Patmos given,
The white bride coming down from Heaven
How flash the rank and mail-clad alders,
Through what tsharp-glancing spears of reed
The brook it's muffled waters leads.
Yon maple, like the bush of Horeb,
Burns unconsumed; a white, cold fire
Rays out from every grassy spire.
Each slender rush and spike of MULLEN,
Lowland shrub and dropping fern;
Transfgured, blaze where er turn.
How yonder Ethiopian hernlockj
Crowned with his glistening circlet, stands
What jewels light his swarthy hands?
Here where the forest opens southwark,
Between its hospitahle pines,
AS through door, the warm sun shines.
The Jewels loosen on the branches,
And lightly as the soft winds blow,
Fall tinkling on the SHOWS below.
And through the clashing of their cynlbals,
hear the old familiar fall
Of water down a rocky fall
Where from its wintry prison breaking,
In dark and silence hidden long
The brook repeats its summer song:
One instant flashing in the sunshine,
Keen as sabre from its sheath,
Then lost again the ice beneath.
hear the rabbit lightly leaping,
The foolish screaming of the jay,
The choppers axe-stroke far away.
The clamor Of some neighboring barn-yard,
The lazy cocks belated crow,
Or cattle tramp in crispy snow.
And as in some enchanted forest
The lost knight hears his comrade sing,
And near at hand their brides ring.
So welcome these sounds and voices,
These airs from far-off summer blown,
This life that leaves me not alone.
For the white glory overawes me;
The crystal terror of the seer
| OF Chebar's vision blinds me.
Rsbuke me not, o, sapphire Heaven
| Thou stainless earth lay not on me
| This keen reproach of purity!

CAPT. E. WELLS, Port Tobacco,
Dear Capt., IL send you the enclosed "Ex-
tract from the works of an old author, who
wrote it more than hundred years ago, which
any well read person will readily recognize
If it will cause the laugh among any of your
numerous readers, as it did me, when you are
at loss for something better to fill up your
paper, it will, think, be well worth inserting,
if it is only on account of the Style SO different
from the generally verbose, long-worded, diff
fuse, milk-and-water, wish-a-washy and long
winded style of the present day.
Very truly yours,
w. II. S. TAYLOR.

Let the strange frost-work sink and crumble,
And let the loosened tree-boughs swing,
Till all the bells of silver ring.
Shine warmly down, thou sun of noontide
On this hill pageant, melt and move -
The winters frozen heart with love.
And soft, and low, thou wind south-blowing
Breathe through veil of tenderest haze
The prophecy of summer days.
Come with the green relief of promise, ea
And to this dead, cold splendor bring,
The living jewels of the spring.
