OLD WINTER'S SOLILOQUY.
Old Virinter jumped nji frozn,liis icy bed,
And thus to himself said bet
Ah ha! old'AUlumn at last is dead:
'!'hued leaves are lying around his 'head
lie left all his business to me, (he said)''
Now what 'a to be done ?—let 's see..
Tlc 's ripened the fruits of the teeming plain,"
Ile•said, as he went his way;
" the rich green leaves and the waving grain,
Ilc 's tinged with a golden hue agnin;
And the farmer has reaped for his toil and pain,
. Now what can I do, but play ?"
Old Winter passed on, inAtis robe of snow,
• ~,et frolicksome might is be:
And he said to hint.clf, " I'll go,
And whistle along, as a sort Oa beau,' •
For those ladies who'd like a better, you know,
Out have to take nit with me!" •
Old Winter indulged, in his schemes of bliss,
'Till he thirty shook with glee;
" Oli!" said he to Wmseif," what a capital kiss
I'll have on the cheek id(he; itert young miss,
'Till her. blushes are red as a rose at this—
Whit matter is that to me?
O'er hill and o' e r dale I'll ride along,
And wither the herbage green; ,
And sing a snatch of my favorite song
As I rave and rattle the boughs among,
''Till all the people shall say I'm mime
in my sparkling ear, I ween."

by t h e eight of a group near the cabin-stairs,
on thequarter-deck. • I paused 'a moment,
and carelessly 'strolled toward them. The
crimpank 'consisted of some six or eight;

and to receive their parting adieus, Of

a victint.of that siren, Consumption. Oh !
cotild you see its ravages in
that pale, emaciated .countenance, those
attenuated that feeble Step.; -how
forcibly. did all iheie'apeak of decay and
'dissolution !
The young man before me, for be was
scarce threerand-tWenty, stow] surrounded
by his frjends, who seemed anxious and
solicitous in the extreme for'lds well-being.
ndced he was one that could not fail to
interest, even arthe first sight., He was
pety9l7 'tall, yet of full height; his coun-
tenance singilarly impressive; his forehead
boldly developed and well pio.portioned ;..
and the very black hair that hung
. over'his
temples contrasted singularly with the al-
Most marble whiteness of his brow. His
eye- was full and dark ; not piercing, but
expressive of thought, decision, and cner-,
gy. Yet there was in'his , look something
that told of calm despair—a despair of re=
covery ; while at the-same time the soul
seemed almost to triumph within him, that
it was so soon 'to pass, into a higher and
nobler state of existence. I paused and
1 1
gazed' upon the, youth, and tried to fancy
his feelings his frame subdued by the in
sidious disease which, baffled all human
skill, till it was well nigh tsaSted away.—
' Certain, certain death !' murmured I, half
aloud ; 'man knows that lie is liable to die
at any moment; yet when he feels the cer
tainly of the immediate approach. of 'the
Destroyer, how do s that feeling . chill his
heart and unner him!' But the young'
pan needed not my pity; nay, I rather
gathered strength and took courage,at the.
-sight - of him ; and . :the feeling that first:
moved me gave place fo every different

of the hours of sadness and 'grief which
she had endured. Yea, the mother stood i

The youth had Ito this moment controll

friends with a firm countehance ; ;and even
now the presence of the numbers on board
made him strive hard, to command him

bear. 'He struggled to retain his , natural

EVERY thing was ready, and the Ship
was about to get mnder way._ The friends
of be . thvalidhad . tpken their leave ; yet
she still remained. ':„Alut the moment arriv
ed when she :too - ntfiet go.- Her brother,
who accompanied her, warned her that
there could be' no more delay. I watched
with anxiety the effect of the separation
upon both. The lovers, as 1 afterward
learned, had bid each other a . fond farewell t
before coming to -the vessel : still they.
Were anxious to take that loselook which
all of us knew sinks so deep into the heart,
and is never forgotten. Both. had promis
ed to act composedly if MARY was permit
ted to make one of the company to the
ship; and until now both had redeemed
their promise. The young man had taken
a seat before his friends left; for he was
too much exhausted to remain long. stand
ing, and Mary had advanced next..him, as
each friend shook 'tier lover's hand, and
with a cheerful tone wished him a pleasant
voyage and a safe return. All this she had
borne.
But the creel moment bad come. The
voice of the-captain-was . heard in prepira
tion for immediate departure. Leave him
she must; and despite the natural modesty
of her nature, and the delicacy of her situ
ation, she sprang toward him and knelt at
jiis.feet and sobbed aloud. What then to
her were all the miserable forms and cere-
monies of an Unfeeling world? What the
presence of strangers or friends? She.car
ed•not for these—she thought not of.thern.
She thought only of . her lover; and with
that thought .came the feeling that could_
not, would not be repressed, .that they
should never meet again. Oh, William;
