The Trustees OF the Public Library of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gift Con-
cert announce the postponement of the
Fourth Gift Concert until Tuesday, the 3lst
of March next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two mouths paralyzed the business of

has prevented thousands from investing in
tickets The epidemics pervading almost
tue entire South have cut Off large and
available market. And, too, the public

ed to invest without more positive assur-
ance oCthe drawing taking place on a fixed
day.
All interested desire full drawing, but
for the reason Just stated this could not be
had on the sd of December, but the short
postponement now announced will secure
1t.
The management has met with unprece-
denied success. The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to over a MILLION DOLLARS,
with a number of agencies in this country
Thus a drawing SCALING tho gifts one

BY George d. PRENTICE.

Young wanderer from Southern cline,
Forgive, pray, this humble rhyme,
That welcomes thee, with heartfelt tone,
To colder skies than thou hast known.
May love and hope and joy cpfold
Thy young form like mist OF gold;
Aud msy no Northern blast have power
To chill the tender Southern flower.
All, Emma, Time has set bis sign
Ofgray on these thin locks Of mine;
Yet thy dear memory will remain
A "thin9 Of beauty" in my brain.
Twill be as if q lake, unstirred,
Should catch the shadow of bird,
Aud the sweet image still should stay
When the bright bird had passed away.
oh, Emma, thou art wondrous fir,
A new moon waxing in the air;
The love-star, with tender beam,
lowering above it like dream.
] love 10 muse 10 reverie,
On what thou art, what thou Wit he;
And hang with Fancy's magic art,
The angel picture in my heart.
The gentle swan that oars his 1by
Upon the waters OF the bay;
The cloud that seems to move in sleep
Upon the b'ue and upper deep;
The slender willow, 1.-the and frail,
That sways before the singing gale,
Are emblems of the grace that dwells
In all thOd art, young queen OtbelleE.
Time passes 90, but msy'st thou live
To share each good that life can give;
May every year upon thee fling
Rich blessings from its dewv wing;
May gentle lovers round thee thrOns,
With smile and sigh and vow aud sDUg,
And ali thy life, with tears uDwe',
BE a sweet song 10 music set.
But All! il may be thou wilt not
Escape dear Eomsn's common lot;
Each lovely rose that now adorns
Thy path, may tear thee with its thornE
Each fouut that WOos thee now TO lave
Thy red lip IN its cooling wave,
May shrink away from thy embrace
Aud leave but dust within its place.
Well, If it must be so--if Fate
Shall make thee sad and dosolste--
Ifall the stars that o'er thee barn
Shall into lurid darkness turu-
If every cloud, now white, shall hold
the hghtuings in its dRrkening fold,
Then, then, Oh! loveliest one, be strong
To battle with the cruel wrong,
Or o'er elrth's atmosphere to hv.
And wander III the open sky,
And see in doubt and darkness hurled
