THE COLUMBIA PHONIXT
[Original.
Shadows-I.
When gray thc miss descend of eve,
A siiah?vv rises oa ray view,
lt Si.vk.< ntv* out at midnight, loo.
And w?ars lite look of one I grieve.
The hopes of y?uth, the bliss, the pain,
The all that time to love endears,
In progress of the perished years,
That mournful shadow brings again.
As sinks the wan and orescent light,
It rises slow beside me now;
I aee the pure and pallid brow,
H ilf shaded by the growing night
r
Yet, with a brightness all its own,
Expressive, through tho gloom, o'er all,
lt. holds me fixed in dreamy thrall,
Aud fills my soul with all the known.
1 cannot doubt the instinct rare,
That knows without the sight, and feels
At once, each portraiture reveal*,
And she that once was mine, is there.
So wan! so sad! as if, though bless'd.
Ia happiest realms where bliss is sure,
She sonow'd still at my unrest,
And shared the grief she cannot cure.
Sweet spirit! by those heavenly airs,
Thai, with thy coming, round me spread,
By ?.ach sweet sanction of the dead,
That bring? thc blessing through the tears:
i give thee welcome, though thy shade
Xb more restores that youth of bloom,
That ehecr'd HIM long through years of gloom,
And nil mr life's best solace made.
Dearer thamany mortal bliss,
The consciousness that still thou art
A loving watcher o'er the heart,
That eeeks its world no moro in this.
W. GILMORE SIMMS.
HAVE You ?KEN THE GUARD?-One
evening last week a soldier willi three can?
teens slung around Iiis neck, entered one of
tho bar rooms hi this place and bargained
for throe quarts of whiskey. As Ilia last
canteen was'filled, soma half-dozen sol hers,
armed with gun-!, rushed in and the leader,
:u the sternest louas, inquired of the ap?
parently frighted soldier, "what bc was
doing, and why ho was away from his
coran:an<i?" Tho soIJier meekly replied
that he wAiitedto purchase some whiskey.
Arrest bim und pm l.imjundcr guan', was

Do you suppose you can-do-the landlord
in the Lady of Lyons? said a manager to
a seedy actor in quest of an engagement.
I should think that q'aite in^?ny line of
business, said he, for I've been doing noth?
ing else but landlords thia long while.
Madam, said a cross-tempered physician
to a patient, if women were admitted to
Paradise, their tongues would make it a
purgatory. And some physicians, if allow?
ed topraotice there, replied the lady, would
make a desert.
