A NEW POEM by BRYANT.

We give below the concluding lines of
William Cullen Bryant's new poem "The
Flood of Years." the whole of which will
be found in Scribner's Midsummer Holt
day Number" This poem will have for
many an interest akin to that of Mr.. Long
fellows "Morituri Salutamus.''
Sadly turn, and look before, where yet
The Flood must pass, and behold a mist
Where swarm dissolving forms, the brood
of Hope,
Divinely fair, that rest on banks of flowers
Or wander among rainbows, fading soon
And reappealing, haply giving place
TO shapes of grisly aspect, such as Fear
Molds from the idle air; where serpents lift
The head to strike, and skeletons stretch
forth
The bony arm in menace. Further OH
A belt of darkness seems to bar the way,
Long, low and distant, where the Life that
Is
Touches the Life to Come. The Flood of
Rolls toward it, near and nearer. 1t must
That dismal barrier. What is there beyond :?
Hear what the wise and good have said.
Beyond
That belt of darkness still the years roll on
More gently, but with not less mighty
sweep.
They gather up again and softly bear
All the sweet lives that late were over
whelmed
And lost to sight-all that in them was
good,
Noble, and truly great and worthy of love-
The lives of infants and ingenious youths,
Sages and sanity women who have made
Their households happy-all are raised and
borne
BY that great current in its onward sweep,
Wandering aud ripping with caressing
waves
Around green islands, fragrant with the
breath
Of flowers that never wither. SO they pass,
From stage to stage, along the shining
course
OF that fair river broadening like a sea.
AS its smooth eddies curl along their way,
They bring old friends together hands are
clasped
In joy unspeakable; the mothers arms
4 gain are folded round the child she loved
And lost. Old sorrows are forgotten now,
Or but remembered to make sweet the hour
That overpayS them; wounded hearts that
bled
Or broke are healed forever In the room
Of this grief Swallowed Present there shall
be
a Present in whose reign no grief shall
gnaw
The heart, and never shall tender tie
Be broken-in whose reign the eternal
Change
That waits on growth and action shall
proceed
With everlasting Concord hand in hand.

BARNUM As YoUNG LOVER That was
a big book p. T. Barnum wrote about
himself. 1t is very complete, too, but
there Is one little incident which he either
forgot to mention, or which got pied when
the forms went to press. 1t occurred when
the great Snowman was young man, and a
resident of this section. He was paving I'M
petuous attention to young lady living in
Newton. Being son Of poor but honest
parents, he was obliged to walk over to the
village which contained his adored, on the
Sunday nights be visited her. When there
he labored under another and more awk-
ward disadvantage. The young lady's father
conceived a singular and most violent dislike
of the amiabe emorytic Snowman. This
necessltated extreme caution on the part OF
the lover, and he was equal to the emergency,
as matter of course. His ingress to the
house was BY window on the second floor,
which he reached by springing from the cover
of a eistern curb, and catching hold Of the
window ledge. His egress was effected by
hanging full length from the ledge and then
dropping to the cistern cover, tall OF about
six inches One Sunday he took with him
on the visit young man who now carries his
silvered hairs behind a Danbury grocery
counter. They reached the place, the young
lady saw the signal, opened the window and
the famous Barnum sprung up into bliss.
