AUGUST NIGHT.

Slowly falls the veil of darkness
O'er the fleeting form of day,
See tile westward moving brightness
Vanish silently away.
Broods the chilly dews of twilight
Der the valley, hill and town,
Where but late, the fiery Day-King.
Sent his seorching missiles down.
Seek the quiet of the valley
Sings the NiGht-bird on the bough,
Grazing are the beasts of burden.
Aud deserted is the plough.
See the farmer, true and faithful,
Honest tenant of the soil,
Homeward wend his way rejoicing,
At the short sureease of toll.
Seek the hustle OF tho village,
Sounds are floating on the air,
Evening bellies arc Gaily mingling,
Groups are standing here and there;
Men are moving, lovers strolling,
On the sidewalks far and near,
All is gayety and hustle,
AS the evening stars appear.
But there's something in the coolness,
Harbinger of coming frost,
Something in the growing 'shortness
OF the daylight cloud embossed
Whispers of the Ice-Ki#G's coming
Casts shadow DER delight,
And q softening melancholy
Der the scenes of August Niaht.

bis real feelings. "The person who could
do such thing mus, have something bad
about his character, and want to have moth
ing to do with him"
GOOD morning, Doctor" said Mr.. Top.
The two gentlemen bowed stiffly and parted.
Top felt very uncomfortable. He finally de-
cided to call at the place referred to in his
letter. Thinking it still might be an ApriE
fool trick, he made few purchases for his
store and gave him name.
"Bepjamin Top" said the person With
whom he was dealing, ''dO you reside in the
city ?" a.1
Top told him tho namo of the village in
which he lived.
"Did you ever receive q letter from this
house ?"
81 did !; but as it was dated the first day Of
April, thought it was an April-fool trick,
and never replied to it,
'sFar from it." answered tho man. CAN
old gentleman from Ohio came here about
that time, and said he had brother living
in this State, and he was in search OF him
or his children. We heard that gentles
man by the name of Top lived in your viii
lage, and dropped him a line; but as no an-
swer came, we thought she information must
be incorrect"
..Where is he DOW ?" asked Mr.. Top.
"Deai. Your sister, Mrs. Jessup. who re-
sides near this city, answered the letter We
wrote her in person. She took him home
with her, and u short time after arriving
there he died, leaving her the whole of his
property, amounting to fifteen thousand dob
lars"
.sHo was my uucle.Y said Top.
"Theu, by not attending to our letter you
are the loser of ut least one-half of his
property"
Top won't home saddcr man than he was
when he left it. He knew that it would be
in vain to appeal to his sisters generosity,
for she was widow, and when poor, with fse
children depending upon her, he had treated
her with unkindness and neglect, and there
was little likelihood of her sharing her good
fortune with him.
Top was, after all, the April fool aud so
great was his disappointment and chagrin
that ever afterward was he known to send
an April-foOl letter, or to play trick on one
of his friends.
