May to April. The following dolicato Httlo poem, by Philip Freneau, was pnbhshed in a volumo or ms writings in 1808: . Without your showers I breed no flowors, Each field a barron waste appears; If you doa't weep, Mv blossoms sleep, They take such pleasure in your tears. As your decay Mano room for May, ; o I must part with all that's mino; My balmy broozo, My blooming trees, torrid suns their snoots resign. For April dead My shades I spread, To her I owe my dress so gay; Of daughters three It falls on mo To close our triumphs in one day. Thus to reposo All nature goes; Month after month must lind its doom; Timo on tho wing May ends thu spring, And summer frolics o'er her tomb. GOING TO THITB?D* There was a small hotel-inn, if you like-in the suburbs of Cam? bridge, kept hy a quondam gyp of St. Mary's, an honest, good-hearted fellow, jack Gossctt. In the cosiest of all cosy parlors, a certain set of ns never failed, about once a fortnight or BO, to try Jack's grills and rarebits, ?with tho best tap in Cambridge. And here it was that I listened to thc following history, which I give, as near as Jean remember, in our host's own words: "I was gyp and waiter in Hall at St. Mary's for nearly twelve years aye, it can't bo far off-and a many pleasant, free-handed young gentle? man I waited upon. It used to bo moro of an aristocratic college, I fancy, than it is now; at least, thero .were few came up to it as weren't well-to-do, good old families, and so on. Let me see; thero were tho Fothergills, of Essex-fine set that was, and wonderful bands at making away with money. I recollect young Edward Fothergill-him as is mem? ber of T-. That was in forty eight. And there were the Mark? ham's, too-" "Confound it, Jack, cut the good old families,' and go on." "Well, I say thero were a real nice set of young men up at St. Mary's, and it was a pleasure to wait on them; but of all the agreeable, pleasant, free-spoken masters, givo me Mr. Harriott. Eh, dear-poor fellow! I can't bear to think of those times. It is not long ago, either. Let me soe. Mr. Perry, you must have been a freshman just after ho left, and I am snro you have heard of him often enough. You all know what a stir his hearty face and jolly ways and full pocket made. Lord's sake! wo used to havo as many SB thirty in at a time to supper. Night after night-champagne and moselle, hock and curacoa, punch and Madei? ra-you never saw more drinking and doings-on in your life. Mauy's the time I'vo waited till near twelve to see a dozen of them back to Unity and St. Jude's; and you'd scarcely believe the rows they kicked up. I don't mean to say but all of you kick up shindies enough now, but I've naver seen or heard anything to equal Mr. Harriott. Every ono liked him, for all hi? scrapes; and I be lievo tho Dean would havo had his name off the books in a week, if it had been any one else. "Well, you see, Mr. Harriott be? gan in this way to be rather fond of his glass. Ho never was more than screwed-just a little gone, you know -but he could stand a good deal, for he was an immensely powerful fellow, and, noraehow or other, it got to be brandy-brandy-nothing but brandy. There was Mr. Clegg, of Unity, and Mr. Tilling, of St. Mary's, and my master, would sit drinking brandy together by the. hour; and the worst of it was, Mr. Harriott always drunk tho bust part of every bottle. I could seo it coming on gradual like. Never easy without his dram; and first thing of a morn ?MM T-1 1 ll I . .T_-l. I --r>. ..?WM &. nuuu iu unit HIHI. ....v.., he'd say, 'brandy and soda; or, wait; bring tho brandy alono.' Ah, when a fellow takes to spirits altogether, it is likely to go bad with him! "I loft St. Mary's that summer, and took this berth. Mr. Harriott used to come and sit in that very chair, Mr. Perry, aa you're in now; and still it was brandy-nothing but brandy. He was for ever going up to London, and nothing would serve him but I must go, too, and take care of him; but, bless y^u, you might as well havo tried to stop a runaway express eugiue. Tho only thing I could do, was to take his purse, when he left the Piazza Hotel; and while he walked into this cafe and that casino, I'd jost step over to Nat Lang ham's and sit a bit; and by-a nd-by, a man would comee 'Mr. Harriott wan * you at once;" and tbere, if you'll be? lieve me, I'd find him owing for a conple of dozen of champagne, and treating every one right and left to ?what they liked. And many a time I've put tho purse, with what remain? ed, into bis hands, and swore I'd wash ruy hands of him; but some? how I never liked to leave him altogether, and generally got him back to Cambridgo, not so much tho worse as you'd have imagined." "Besides, Jack, it must have been pretty pickings for you." "It is all very well for you young gentlemen to talk in that way, but ho was a deal of trouble, I oan assure you; and, besides, I bad to leave my business all tho time. Well, it was at tho end of bis socond October term, when hu drove round hero in bi3 curricle-you know his, Brett has one of them now. They were a cou plo of devils to drive; but he was a splendid whip when bo was sober. Well, I saw he had been drinking; but, thinks I, bo's more likely to do himself a mischief than with mo alongside of him; so up I gets, and tho man behind. Ho drove all right till wo turned i uto tho Trnmpington Road, at the corner tbere, by Hob son's monument, when -would you believe it, Mr. Perry? with thoso beasts pulling and chafing fit to break the hurness, be gives them a cut, flings the reins over their backs -he did, as I'm here-and falls back in bis seat as if be bad done some? thing clover. " 'Lord have mercy on our souls,' says I; and the groom, he slipped oll* i behind, and got a sprained ankle for his pains, and away we went liko thc wind. I never expected to reach the ground alive; hut, as luck "raid .have it, wo caught against the ..ttlo stone bridgo ut the turning, and went over into the hedge. I was so mad, that I don't believe I spoke to him for moro than a month; but this will show bow far he was goue. And I used to bear how ho went to R-'s-you know where I mean-at tho river side, aud often enough had to stay tbero all night, and be brought back to St. Mary's tho next morning. Of course, this couldn't last, and be was rusticated for two terms. On tho night he was to go down, n little lad comes to me and says: " 'You're to go directly to tho Tiger. Gentleman ill there.'

THE LIEE OF THE FLESH IS PUKE BLOOD. Upon this theory alono tho in? ventor of tho Quoen's Delight establishes tho great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. Tho Palo and Shrunken Forms, Yeilow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers. Crippled Rheumatics. Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of Headache, so common in this country, is owing entirely to the humors of tho blood. Vory many other diseases may bo tracod to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exanthema or Elcvure, a rash or eruption on female-; Blotches, Totter, Goitro or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic .

You may take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not bo curod; and, as a proof of it, look around and you will observo tho country, throughout its length and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa Eard?as, extracts and syrnps, claiming to o blood purifiers, and yet wo seo to-day moro eyidenco of impurity of tho blood than ever. Why is thia? Simply bocauso theeo extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth? less medicine*. ( Tho Quoen's Delight is a new compound, and is now the great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by tho profession, patronized by tho highest dignitaries of the laud, endorsed by everybody.
