[Yovi T1i1 NZWO.] THE DEAD XTIR. Fair buds of Summer time, are Bashing back The last bright beam, from Sunset's golden track, And merry sounds of gladness 511 the air, As if, were over dry, grief's bitter tear! All shows the frost of Winter's- reign dis pell'd, In mute obelsande, by sweet zephyrt- held, Save that still ohamber of the Mother dead, From whence, the signs of joy have frighted fled But there, in vain, the soft, kind breezes play, Fanning the ice- bound form of senstless clay, It may no; vt:he to life or love again, To friendship's sinie-sor sorrow's fearful pait?! The flow'rs she'loved t6"pluck, lie with'ring near, - Strown by her children's hands upon her bier, And clinging, childish, kiis'is wildly prest, Upon the brow, forevermore, at rest But stay-a strain of imutic sweeps thle sky, Struck from the harps of cherub hosts on high, No deeptoned notes'of mourning or of woe, But one triuinphnt song of ceaseless flow : While from the angel choir, the chorns leaps, 'Fear not; she is not dead-she only sleeps !" Ah yes-she sleeps, and if her spirit meek, Could touch those marble lips and bid then speak, They would but whisper low, her sweet "good night," Her good night blessing, for the morrow's light - The morrow, of a gi'eat, immortal Day, Lit by that Sun's eternhl shining ray, Which no'er goest6wn'-and where no shade of night, Is needed, for the calm, undazzled sight C. Jo1 Billings on Skating. Having herd tnuch about skating parks, and the grate amotnt ov ltcalth wnd muscle they woz imparting tew the present generashiin at a slitt, adtvance from cost, I bought a ticket and went. withiml the fence. I found the ice in a very slippery con. dishuini. covering about 5 akers of atyfi -ihial water, which was owned by a stock compamny, and froze tew ordor. Upon one side ov i lie pond was orek ted 'little grosery btildings. where the -'n-imn So, on benches while the f6-lers (kivvored with b'ushes) hitched tlie magio iron tew their feet. It woz a most exciting scene ; the sun wnz in thu skkv-the wind wns in the air-and the birds ware in the South and the snow waz on the grotnd-and the ice lay shivering with a bad kold and angells (ov bot h genders) fluktnai ted past me pro and cotn, 2 and fro, hero a little and thare a good deal. It waz a most. exciting scenco ; i wan ted tew holler 'J,lLy," or lay down and rool over. But i kept in and aked with glory. Health was piktered on menny a no. bil brown. An the femail angells put out of the pond, side by side with theo mail anigells, it waz the most powerfull scenet i ever sto',d behind. 'rThe long red tape from their necks swam it the breeze, and the featherz in their Jockeys fluttered in the breeze, and other things (tew much to mention) fluttered ini thy breeze. I don't think i ever waz more crazy before in mi life-on ice. For 2 long hours i stood and gazed with dum excitement. I ftelt like a kanal hose t.urned sudlde,, ly out, tew,grass. I didnt't kito how tow proceed. As one ov the angells, more sudden than aiwl ithe rest, cum flieing down the trak, 3 lengths ahead ov her mail angell, awl eyes were gorging witth her heaven. ly bust of speed; she seemed tew have cut luce fronm earth, and wats hotund South, for the Cape of G<xd Hope, when awvl tow onst. with gorgutre swoop terriffick, down crumbling into a limpid heap site went, wvith sguteal terriffick ; a living lovely mass ov disastrus skirt and fapring ankle. Awl gathered around, the busted an tell; but, Jo I in a minuitt's space, her Wimgs agim was plumed, and evry feath. er was ini its lawful pladee; andI onl 8he fled, Ianhig like Wine thru its buateous liltshes. ii had saw enuf'-more haqpyness tharri belonged tow me rand as I.
