TIE FALL OF TIE YEAR.


TIE FALL OF TEE YEAR.
Coldlv and bright draws in the day;
Gloomy and drear it steals away;
! For slowly now comes up the sun,
His summers ardent labors done;
Aud low his golden wheel declines
Where Winter slows his starry signs.
No more tc earth the fervid beams
Give beauty such as poet dreams;
No more deScendS the glorious ray,
The rapture Of the summer day.
The Sky'S deep blue is waxing pale,
The suns inspiring feryors fail;
The slanting beam ne gives is chill
Within the vale aud on the hill;
And now with many jealous fold,
The clouds would all his cheer withhold,
Nor would on plain or height bestow
The soothing Of his waning glow.
The flowers are gone, save those that still,
Like friends who ceave to US through i'll.
Outbrave the bitter wind that blows,
And deck their season to It's close.
The leaves that late were only stirred
By geutlest breath, that only heard
The sonS-bird's note, round these the blast
, Blows keen aad fierce, and rude and fast
The rising gale Aings far and vide
Their wilhered bloom and idle pride.
The birds have fed; the wind alone
Makes song in many a sullen tone.
But sudden through the bursting sky
The sun again comes out on high;
The clouds fall back to Weld him way.
And fly before his eager ray;
And gladneSs fill tae breast amainr-
The glimpse Of summer come againl
All! sweet the beam, but like the smile
With which the dying would beguile
The mourning hcart-ihe last sad ray
Love gives to cheer our tears away.
The light is gone, the moments bloom
Is sunk again in cold and gloom.
So pass away all things Of earth,
Wbate'er we prize of love and worth
The form once dear; the VOICE that cheercd;
The friends by many tic endcared;
The dreams the aching heart forgetS;
The hopes that fade in cold regrets.
Sweet scenes, dear haunts, that once knew
Ny heart yet fondly turns 10 you.
Let seasons change and be We bright
With all the summer-tide's delight,
Or let the winters gloom be yours,
Your beauty still for me endures;
For memory keeps unfaded yet
What Love would have me not forget.

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

The disk of the moon, as is very
apparent: is not of uniform bright.
ness, but is diversified by dark
areas here and there. These dark
areas are so arranged as to repre-
sent the eyes, nose, and mouth of
a human being, and the whole
disk represents, passably well,
human face. Not all people, how
ever, can see this resemblance.
Some who cannot see the face can
see man and woman carrying
between them bucket ofwater.
The man stands on the left side of
the disk, the woman on the right.
10 some the dark spaces appear
to have the same Shape as North
and South America, as if the
Western Continent was reflected
10 the moon. ...

but their man in the moon is 8

ears stand erect, and before him is

The Emperor Rodolph, who Of:

astronomer, Kepler, saw upon it

Great FOOLS said he, ARE they

they see is an illusion. It is
caused By fatigue Of the eye,

ment the surface of the moon ex-

tend in every direction like

The telescope dispels all those
resemblances which are so ap-
parent to the naked eye, but even
with this aid not all people see
alike. One likens the moon to
green cheese, while another
thinks it resembles q body Of
water frozen over with the rifles
on its surface, and the craters are
air-holes in the ice. Another
simile, perhaps the most ridicu-
lous of all, is that of a pot of boil
ing mush, the craters being the
| bubbles of air as they come up
and burst on the surface. Some
see only cold, dcsolate, dead
