Some people desire a weather calender in

in j
kn.n f. n, as an eioust; for not accenting
iuvitittion uf a lrieiid to male an excur-
aiou wi;h him :
The hollow winds begin to blow.
The clouds look black, the grass is low ;
The soul fulls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cohwe .a peep.
Latt night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her held ;
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
For, sec a rainbow epaus the sky.
The walls arc damp, the dilchej smell.
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel).
Hark .' how the chairs an I tables crack.
Old Ebtty's joints are on the rack ;
Loud iiai k the ducks, the peacocks cry ;
The distant hills arc lojkiug nigh.
How fm'lemm tr th anortiug atvine.
The busy flics disturb fbe kine ; "'' - : ;
Low o'er the grass the sw; l ow wings ;
The cricket, too how sharp he sings;
Tush on the hearth, with velvet paws,
fits, wiping o'tr her whiskered j.iws.
Thnugh the clear strcr.iu the fi.lu-s rise
And iiimMy catch the incautious tiies ,
The g'.or worms, numerous and bright,
Illumed the dewy dell, last uight.
At dusk the iiulid toad was seen.
Hopping and crawling o'er the green ;
And in the rapid eddy plays;
The frog has changed his yellow vest,
And iu a rdsset cout :s dresl:
Through June, the air is cold and still ;
The ii ei ry blackbird's voice is shrill.
My d.ig, so altered in his taste,
Vuits multou bones, on gras to feast ;
And see yon rooks how odd their flight
They imitate the gliding kite,
And seem precipitate to fall,
As if they felt the piercing ball.
