NOVEMBER.

The red sun gathers up his beams
70 bid the Withered earth farwell
And voices from the swelling streams
Are ringing with the evening bell:
The cold lake throbs with restless grlef
Where late the water lilies grew,
While autumn fowl, and autumn Leaf
Are sailing down the river blue
Forsaken are the woodland shrines,
The birds 20 warmer lands have lied:
And winds are wailing through the pine
A dirgc for summers glorious dead:
Fen man torsakes his daily strife,
And muses. on the radiance flown.
A. il in natures changing lite
He saw the picture OF his own
| often think, at this dim hour,
As evening weeps her earliest tear.
And sunset glds the naked bower,
And waves are breaking cold and clear,
OF that glad time, hose memory dWeIi>
Like starlight DER LIES hazy tide,
When side bv side We roam the dell
OF dear New England's ocean side
Twas on old Plvmouth's stored shore
One calm November night with thee,
watched the long light trembling DER
The pillows OF the eastern sea;
The weary day had sunk to rest
Bevond the lines OF leailesS wood;
And guardian clouds from south to west
Arrayed in bues OF crimson stood
We climbed the hills OF noble graves.
Where the stern patrlarchs OF the land
seemed listening to the same grand waves
That freed them from the oppressor 5 hand
We talked OF spirits pure and KIND,
With gentle forms and loving eyes,
Of happy homes we lett behind,
IL wales beneath the western skies
A few brief days-and when the cart
Grew W hite around the traveller : feet.
And bright fires blazed Oh every hearth.
We parted never more to meet
Until / 90 " here thou art gone,
From this dark world OF death and blight
Aud walk with thee above the sun
That sank upon thy grave tonight.
| hear the m,ttfied tramp OF wears
Come stealing up the slope OF Time;
They bear Il train of smiles and tears,
OF burning hopes and dreams sublime
Eat future wears may never fling
A treasure from their passing hours,
Like those that come on sleeping wing
From mcmorv'S golden plain OF flowers.
The morning breeze of long ago
Sweeps DER my brain with soft control
Tanning the en,bers to glow
Amid the ashes round my soul;
And by the dim and tiickering light
see the beauteous form appear,
Like one returned from wandcrineS breh
To bless my lonely moments here.

POETRY
THE LAST LEAF.
BY o. W. HoLHBS

| saw him once before
As he passed by the door;
And again
The pavement stones resouhd
As he totters DER the grouhd
With his cane.
But now he walks the streets,
And he looks at all he meets
SO forlOrn;
And heshakes his feeble mead
And it seems as ii he SAID;
They are gone
The messy marbles rest
on the lips that he has pressed
In their bloom;
And the names he loved 70 near
Have been carved tor many YEA
on the tomb.
Iii should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them smile as | do now
At the old torsaken bough
Where cling"
