An OlA-Ye&r Song.

A lonely minstrel OF the WOOD 60.

When Apritrounded Into May;
Thy life shall hall no second dawn W.
Sing, little bird! the spring is gone.
And emember-well-a-day!
Thy full-blown summer ronndeny,
AS when behind broidered screen
Some holy maiden sung unseen
with answering notes the woodland run9,
And every tree-top found tongue.
How deep the shade! the grove how ialr
Sing, little bird the woods are bare.
Bu. now the summers chant Is done
And mute the choral antiph0n;
The birds have left the shlvering pines
TO fit among the trelllsed vines,
or fan the air with scented plumes
Amid the love-slck orange blooms,
And thou art here alone-alone-
Sing, little bird the rest have hoWn.
The snow has capped yon distant hill,
Al morn the running brook VIII still,
From driven herds the clouds that rise
Are like the smoke Of sacrifice.
Ere long the frozen sod shall mock
The plowshaIe, changed to stubborn ROCK
The brawling streams shall soou De dumb
Sing, little bird the frosts nave COME
Fast. fast, the lcngtheuiug shadows creep,
THE songless fowls are half asleep,.
The air grows chill; the setting sun
Nav leave thee ere thy song Is done,
The pulse that warns thy breast grow cold,
THY secret die with thee untold
The lingering sunset still is BRIGHT,
Sing, little bird! twill soon be night.

A Southern Lawyer taken for a Coun-
trymaTn.

MIR. Calhoun Blank, of Columbia, S. c.,
came to New York a few days ago and put
I'D at the United States Hotel. On Monday
evening he started TO 60 to Mr.. Daly's new
theatre. On passing through Fulton street,
on his way, he met very nice-lookiDg gen.
tleman, who, after a moments hesitation,
advanced with outslrdched hand, and said !:
"Why, Mr.. Blank, how do you do? How
are the folks in Columbia 70 How do you
do, sir" replied Mr. Blank, "but you must
excuse me for not calling your name, do
not remember your "Why, don't you
remember Harry Stevens? In the telegraph
Office, you know. How are Howard and
Cathcart?"
Now, it SO happened that during the war
Mr.. Blank had been in the Telegraph Blu
reau, and he thought he might have met the
gentleman before, especially rs the names he
mentioned were those Of two gentlemen
well known in Columbia. So Mir. Blank
told him where he was going, and the gen.
,lcman was SO well pleased at meeting his
old friend that he must needs 60 with him,
sud SO they went up Broadway together.

the st. Nicholas MIR. Stevens remembered
