The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1874-03-28

An esteemed friend sends US the fol
lowing seasonable lines written by lady
of rare culture in the last century, some of
whose poetry we have formerly published,
furnished by the same correspondent. In
the letter accompanying the following and
other poems he says: "Copied while con-
fined to the house in my leisure hours, and
if these old relics of the past are of any
worth to you, my labors will be amply re-
warded.'

Pretty Susy was not left long in doubt,
for Fred, having drawn from Mrs. Sawyer
the confession that she "thought it duty
to tell the Belknaps the first thing,
fastened over 10 his bcthrothed wife, to
give vent to his indignation against all
tattlers and mischief makers, and very
soon Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Seymour's
wedding cards put the final contradiction
to tie Mvrtleville scandal.

BY BRASA ALLEN.
Haste. haste, We hours. quick away,
And bring again the rosey day,
With genial sun, and birds that sing,
To tell me It's the cheerful Spring.
The blghted meads no verdure show,
But snow, and angry winds that blow
Now chill the tuneful plumy race,
And chase the smile from Natures face.
All how it pains my breast to see
The bids that sweetly sang for me,
Now, dropping, hop from spray to spray,
To want and freezing cold a prey.
Hase, haste again, We lovely hours,
When seated in the muses. bowers,
I'll here the thrush's dulcet lay.
To tell me Winters past away.

the Indians the advantage in the fret serious
engagement that takes place that the dangers
which now threaten our frontier settlement
may be averted, and the Indians taught q les
