Thy eye is bright, thy cheek is fair, Yet 'neath; thy curlsof jet, A little look of silver hair Seems there so strangely met. Thy step is light, and gay thy tone - Thnt foats upon the'air; iiow found that lock of grey a home With one so young and fair? Witlk oneso young and bright as thou, :.-A child ulmostin years; - Yet'on-ty eali and lovely brow, That bedeor time appears. 'twoild seen thy heart of Spring's sweet prime, While in its careless flow, Was met by frost of Winter time, That left a fake. of snow. 'Twould seem as though life's early stream, Reflecting the clear sky, Was cheel'd as with a sudden gleam Of sorrow.passing by. . And wasILttaen the breah of care That left that loek of hoar, That mingles with thy sunny hair And shadest thy temple o'er! Oh! if eelips'd by sorrow's dart, Ilas been thy pleasure bright, Still pure and good it le't thy heart, Tho' e'en subdued in light. And oh ! it left miy gentle soul, lu teirssas e'en in joy, Beneath love's soft and sveet control, Uns-.llied with alloy. It left thy spirit free and pure, la-tenderness and truth, While all affetion's bonds endure Of thy sweet loving youth. Then do not grieve, or in sa-I dream, That luck of white regret 'Tis beautiful as a silver stream, '.Midst waves o.f glusisy jiet. But down life's ealn and'ienaeful glade, May longyears real away, E'er griers chill hand, or sorrow's shade, Anotler loek turn gray. GLlIPSES OF TIE "SPIRIT." PORTER'S New "Spirit" is already turn ing out good things in abundaiuce. Its longer and more elaborate articles ae as yet the best; but some of the short ones are far from being bad. We give two or them, thinking a reader here and there may relish a little fun " fresh fro'm the faitory." The first is of a New. York Drummer, who was hoaxed most "oudaciously," as he rode fron Talladega (Ala.) to Uenton Point, in the gcod year 1840, " along with" Bill Martin. He fQud qt frorp I~il A new way to make a well. Bill and the Drummer were riding along, and stopped to get somec water at a newly Jocated farm itt the lower part of Benton Cotquty. 'P~w farmer hazd set fire to an old pine stump near tLh frptnt floor, and at the ~inie our t'avelers stopped, the fire was in the tap root, some two feet below the sur face, all the wood above the ground having been consumed. Tihe smoke issuing from a large bole in the ground, attracted the attention, of the Drummer, and turing to Bill, he asked the meanitng or it. " Why," says William, " my friend Thomp son, here, is burning out a well." "Burning oart a well! WVhat do you ' mean! "Just what [ say," rejoined Bill ; "he. is burning out a'*411-:-have you never seen it .done?' ". Never,-nor did I ever hear of such a thing ; I would like to have it explained." -N~othing sitmpler," says-Bill. " Through out thik section of the coutry the soil is strongly imnpregtnated wiib- highly inflamma ble salts, atnd all we have to do when a well is needed,,.is to dig a hle at foot deep and rour feet squai-e at the to1p; wtet the ground around the surface to keep the' fre frbrii spreadiug; ill, tfie Ihae with pine knots, set fjre to'the'kttots, andt ini a week's tim'e you ~ave a first rat'eivell." " "4 Doiell !'' exclaimed the wondering Goth amite. - - 'Yes," said Bill, warming ithd the sub - jeet, "the fire-burns stra!igt'-do\'vn; just the size of the holetit the top; it burns slowly, and thus bakes the sides as hard as 'brick, nhd continues td burtt until it reaches waster, -whetn, of course, it enses to hurn." ' "But," sys the Drummer, " I should tink the mass of ashes and -cinders would etinguish: the fire long before'" the ' water is adsehed."' i . S A very natpral pr'mafacia.conclusion," replied Ball ". but this is the strang7est of the whole prosess,-there are no ashes.

Youis, incidentally, SPIKE. . TOI IODGKISS AND THE WIDOW. Not many squares from Tom's store o.n street, there lives a widow lady, who, until recently, has been one of his " most particu lar friends." This lady had met Tom some where, mIAd dmiriig his principles, and ap. proving his circumstances, had comje to the resolution of making him the husband of her daughter, a very pretty and innocent girl of about fifteen, After making a reso lution, Mrs. I-was not the woman to liesi tate in its execution. She mianeuvered to have him attend her daughter at all the halls and soirees of the season to which site had access, and managed to 'take him to the theatre in their party eon several occasions; and at Church on Sbiday, our friend was to be found occupying a place in her pew as reguharly "as one of the family." And more than this, she even opened an account at his store, and two or three times daily, in fine weather, Miss E- was despatched to purchase some indispensable nothing " that nobodv could select but herself !" Her pitns worked admirably for about three.tsuoinths. Ton's - attentions had been generally remarked, and the gossips of his acquaintance had lung settled it among them salvos that le was " in for it," and the good mother daily expected, 4nd wis constantly on the qui rihc for a Proposal. Tldsl was the posture of affairs, when Tom called one morning about eleven. *ie was shown in the parlor,. and soon. joined by the yotu lady. .After..a.-few- m"tents .of snnl talk h1 requested 41r to be so good as to send her mother'lo him as lie wished to have a few min.ute's conversation with her on husi. ness. We acknowledge' that tlere was.a slight trembling of the hands visible, as-Mrs. I- smoothed ner hair to obey the sumonots. " She had heeti successful! Yes? notwith stanlding the sarcasms of the- widow M-, and the innendoes of the Misses T--, and the oppoosition of the whole street, she had triumphied f' These, and other thoughts of like palenig complexion, caused her cheeks to assume an unusual glow, and there was considerable elation in her step as she enter. ed the room an4 adreectionately greeted her future son-in-law. We have'intimated that Tom is honest and straigh t-forward; and so, without the least circumnlocution or embarrassment, lie at onice approached the delicate matter.

The Madison Visitor concatenates a chap i.r on anutnn, which wo adopt as quite the thing for the season; " worthy of these red leaf-falling days," as the Home Journal re. marks: The sammer, with its long and sultry~ days, is over, and autumn, 'magnificent and primpons autumn"-as poor Ollapod was wont to call it-with trailing clouds of in. numerable tints, with leaves that fill the air with solemn whispers and paint the viewless gusts in hues of beaityi, cometh " with dyed garments of glory." The evening shadows of the year are beginnin. tofdll upoin us, with a pleasant and soothing. sensation of relief, after the glare and heeat of summer while the delicious inornih"s aid evenings make us regret tha't the "Soft twilight of the slow, declining y.ear" cannot last forever. It is a singular faet that nearly all the old English poets speak of this season in the saddest and most mel. anaholy strains. Shakspeare terms it " the chi/#ng autumn," while Collins speaks of it as " the sallow antumn," Wordsworth ad. dresses it as " autumn, inelancholy wight," and Shenstone writes, Oh pensive autumn ! how I grieve Tl3 soirroing face to see, Wheil Izagnid stins are taking leave Of every drooping tree." Further quotattaions of the same clracter nilght he niade. from Chancer, Spanser, Dryden, Milton, Thomson, and indeed the entire list of. early English poets. "' Those of later years, with an occasional exception, have treated the season a little more respect fully, and seem to have appreciated its bean ties. Instead of "autumn, nelancholy u ight," we find sue'i expressions als " g:y autuminial tints," and " A tginmi, thrice happy time, iest poirton of the various year." indeed, one would be justified in believing th:t there had been n great change in the nature of things, since the ud:tys of " Will Shakespeare, the bnliff's son." And yet, we imain"ile, the only ebh:ange has beeni in public entiment. Cowper, the Christian poet, was the tirst to discover that autumn was not a miehmeaeholy season, uand now theie is no lack of Einglish pts who e able to see and apprecia:te eautities in its Iendieape, to which their forelhthers were entirely blind. In the ( es IIf Amleeeiearc loets,,this setason tif the year-seems , always to hve wornma, his po;ms speaks of " The in.elholy days The adlest of dhe Of waii:g winis id nakel wood, ' A till niendows brown an.1 Eere." But he seems afterwards to have repented himself, and writes "Oh autumn: 'Twere a lot too Ie.st, Forever in thy colorel hades to stray." A sweet poetess of the South, now dead, Mary E. Lee,'thus spok-e of autumn: .Teeiy cal: thee brown : but llot because Thy rote is colorcil with a r-svt-ktne, For theiOu hi:.st b.-autiful u ;r.-. an. t ake-t -eien at thy will :a draiepery ever new Not e'11 'mlloneegst tliy Compan'lLilillon) can unet'ohl such btoires or enmerald. top/. rtby, goild."'

Even lhere, in Middle Georgiae, we miss miuch oh the meagnificencoe of the " many cnlored woods" oft thu Norterne Statles, or mole northern poertiones oIf our owna-but with us there is nmuche to bse seen and aidmir ed, :after the season is suafflicrtly advanced. A walk, a few -weeks hence, in the " Ydariegated woods when first the frost ''Turns into beauty all October's charmis," will reveal to the eye "e a beright how of ma ny colors hung upon the forest tops."
