rae CROW AND rHg SWALLOW.
BY THOMAS D. ENGLISH.

The Crow is an awkward and slovenly bird,
With gait and manner the most absurd,
And bears an unsavory reputation
Throughout creation.
A number of people have firm belief
That the crow is sad detestable thief
Who, evermOre through the corn-felds bob
Goes aIching and robbing.
They wrong him in that; as watched him
one morn
saw him destroy more grubs than corn;
And thought IL was less ofa moral questlon
Than one Of digestion.

Before you dispatch me"
The swallow we know is a graceful thing
As ever yet poised a body on wing,
And playfuily CLEANED in region upper
A n1inikin supper.
Avoiding the rubbing OF twigs and leaves,
He seeks a shelter beneath the caves,
While his throat pours out unkhng tWlttsr
Like strings ofa zither- -r.,-T

And memories OF the dwelling place.

For he flies in straight, unerring line.

While the swallow shows decided notion
For a zigzag motion.
It is proper TO shun the thievish tricks 7 ].
The world agrees on the crow to nx; -
But in seeking goal We had better follow
The crow than the swallow. ftt e

An ANECDorE OF PoE.-While
the late Mr.. John r. Thompson
was conducting the Southern Liter
dry Messenger, Poe was 3 regular
visitor to the editorial sanctum, or,
rather, he was an exceedingly irreg-
ular dropper-in, his normal condi-
ton being, so TO speak, always alb
normal, If judged by the ordinary
human standard. Generally under
the combined influence of poeticsl
frenzy and strong alcoholic stimulant,
and he was likewise celebrated for q
perpetual impecuniosity.
One day entering Thompson's
room, Poe requested a small loan,
saying that he had received sud-
den call to Philadelphia, and was
without funds. 'tWould Mr.. Thomp-
son obige him with five dollars ?
The editor, accustomed to Poe's pc
euiiar ways, met the demand with
easy grace and open hand, for which
he was noted, and Poe, bowing his
thanks, retreated towards the door,
but spausing on the threshold, he
carelessly flung to Thompson bit
of writing, with the remark: "By
the way Thompson, there's small
thing / knocked off last night; it's
not much, but you've been very kind
to me, and perhaps you can make
room for it somewhere in the maga-
zine.n Saying which be turned and
