Iv W 3.4 the autumn of the year;
The strawbgrrv,•leaves were red and acre ;
October's airs were fresh and chill, -
When, pausing on the windy bill,
'The hill that overlooks the sea, .
You talked confidingly to me,— •
Ma, whom your keen artistic fight
, J ias,not yet learned to read aright,
Since I have veilealny heart from you,
• And loved you better than you knew.
'You toßme of yobr toilsome past,
The tante honor iron at last,
The trials borne , the conquests rained,
The longed-fin boon of Fame attained:
knew that every victory
But Titled sou away from me,— •
That every.Ftert-pf high emprise -
Put left me lowlier in your eye.:
I watched the diftance as it grew,.
And loved you better than pc. knew.
You did not seethe hitter trace
Of anguish sweep across my face :
You did nut hear my proud lutatt.thesit
Heavy and slow beneath your feet ; •
You thought of triumphs still unworn
Of glorious deeds es 'yet undone:— ,
And I, the whilo you talked to ate,
I watched the gulls giant lonesomely '
Till lint amid the hungry blue,
' And roved py.-1 better titan you knew.
You walk the sunny side of Fare ;
, The wise world Smiles, and caps you great ;
The golden fruitage of success
'Drops at vour feet in plentconaness:
And you hare bl e ssings manifold,—
Renown, and power, and friends, and.gold ;
They h>Zild a wall between us twain
Which may not he thrown down again ;
Alas! for I, the long year through,
Bare loved you better than you knew.
Your proud aim, your art's - high-truths
- Have ki 4 pt the promise-of your youth';
And while you won the crown which now
Breaks into bloom upon your brow,.
My soul cried strongly out to you
Across the oceans yearning blue,
Mille, unremembered and far,
I ustched you, as I watch a star
Through darkness struggling into view,
•
:And hived you better than you knew. - t
I used to dream, in all these years
Of patient failkand.siknt tears,--
That Love's strong hand would put aside -
Thelsartiers of place and pride,—
ti''otthl reach the pathlesa darkness through,
And draw me softly np to you.
But that is past.—lf yon should stray
Beside say grace souse future day,
Pirehance the violets O'er my dust
Will halt betray their buried trust,
And fay, their blue eyes fall of dew,
"She loved you better than you knew:"

I lIATF. at Let' found time enough to begin to
Sate that I - was going on to say, that, such being (as
. showed in toy last letter) the ,Character.of the
dp...e, us all of reliable judgment agree that it is.
N. Everett in writing for it dace that which to Fay
lest its nut very commendable. The moat re
snarlable effect of these contributions has been to
- .rive the paper a circulation in Boston, which. on ae
-mint of the literary-character of that cite. it -could
lever otherwise Las4 - attained. The tone of Boston
aecicty is more decidedly literary than 'that of any
olarreity in the country;-and, the merits, en thtt
Tound,of a paper 1;0014 be easily decided by the fait
that, ben-tie - the papers of "E. E." hem, the .T.erlpir
utet nOceenuragentent in the city of raat winds nnit

it.was hardly the thing ; Becton is honed to
item:need all that Everitt does ; i.e. - concluding that-1
1 Everett knew better than Boston, the sni disco!
Athenktmt inve,did their fnitrpencee in the Ledger.
'Seat sfter this, the great effect predueed has been
one of disappointment with the "Nnunt Vernon
Pa

ZFerett has hurt higaself by the nreit4Ling. Ile
appears, to have a eesrrett estimate of the mental cal.

-to their style - of comprehension, arid by doing this
has nece'ssitv lowered himself. .If he has attempt.

style, who will hear whsle Cobb speaks? If ?lee ;pa

P the mast comical literary performance of
these dirty, and one that might be used to point a
most capital arcasit, as it has been for many weak
ones, was the publication in the 'Ledger of some po

where scattered 'mt4outienms sifting through
row of tottering - chimney% and an awning
torn and drooping. tell, strode hack and forth,
with stiff:ma tense drawn muscle and pecul
iar tread, a cat.
Ilts name was Norval ; on yonder neigh.
boring shed his father caught the Two that
came in scnads from streets beyond Dupont,
in search of flied and strange adventure.
Grin: war he courted; and bit twisted
tail. and spine upbeaving in ihntastic eurve,
and elawa distended; and ears flatly pressed
against a head thrown back defiantly, told of.
impending strife. 1
With eyes a-elear6 and screeching blasts
of v.ar. and steps as silent as the falling dew,
young Norval crept along the sprntered edge,
and gszed a moment through the darkness
down with tail a-wag triumphantly.
Then with an upprecatiOn'and a growl—
perhaps an oath in direst vengeance hissfA—
he started back, and, crooked in body like .n
letter S or rather. like a U. inverted, stood in
.fierce exptetancy..
'Twat well. With eye-balls glaring, anti
ears all aslant, and . open mouth in which two
rows of fangs stood forth in sharp and dread i
confanrni7y, slow up:a- p ost fru:n out the dark .
below a head appeared. -
-A dreadful tocsin of determined strife

passing breeze;, stepped back in puttious in.'

H e was one of the few men connected with

was n tine education and a few hundred
riounds; with these he,souglitibe shores, of
America. and embarked in mercantile pur
iolits and...land speculations; being shrewd
and devoting his whole time to his busitmol,
he soots amassed quite, a snug fortune. At
the commencement o(ihe difficulties between
the two.countries, his el in:Jathies were with
the land of his adopt ion, awl at tht early pat
..f the war he joined the American forces,—
Soon lifter, he raised a company of men whom
he armed, equipped and commanded. They
were brave men every one, and be the bray
them many a deed of daring had
he dotie•roften had he led his company, in the
still hours of the night upon a. small party of
the enemy, taking them priiMrers ; seldom
losing a life, cad. often without firing a mos
kat. By. the means of corresponding agents
in all the cittes of the.ktate, and well paid
spies within die camp of the enemy, he ob
tained information which insured the :summit
of all his forays ; none of his fidlow e es k n e w

that their triun.phi in all their skirmishes in
which tkey were engaged. was owing entirely

it was as often the effect of hid stratag et n,—
