POET 7.7.
From the Essex Gazelle,
The Frost Spirit.
Ho comes, he comes—the Frost Spirit comes!
You may trace his footsteps now
On the naked woods, and blasted fields,
And the brown hill's withered brow;
Ho has smitten the leaves of the gray old trees,
Where their pleasant green came forth,
And winds which follow wherever he goes,
Have shaken them down to earth.
Ho comes, he comes—the Frost Spirit comes !
From the frozen Labrador,
From the icy bridge of the northern seas,
Which the white bear wanders o'er;
Where the fisherman's sail is still' with ice,
And the luckless forms below,
In the sunless cold of the atmosphere,
Into marble statues grow !
Ho comes, he comes—the Frost Spirit comes!
On the rushing northern blast,
And the dark Norwegian pines have bowed
As his fearful breath wont past;
With an unscorch'd wing ho has hurried on
Where the fires of Hecla glow,
On the darkly beautiful sky above,
And the ancient ice below.
He comes, he comes—the Frost Spirit comes !
And the quiet lake shall feel
The torbid touch of his glazing breath,
And ring to the skater's heel ;
And the streams which danced on the broken rock
Or sang to the leaning gram,
Shall bow again to their winter chain,
And in mournful silence pass.
He comes, ho comes--the Frost Spirit comes!
Let us meet him as we may,
And turn with light of the parlour fire
His evil power away ;
And gather closer the circle round,
When the fire-light dances high,
And laugh at the shriek of the baffled fiend,
As his sounding wing goes by !
MIC:j3:aLANZOT7O.
MRS. SIMPSON.
A Story rounded on Fact.
"Do justice for truth's sake, and the conscience,"
[Shalceveare.
They were the sweetest eyes I ever beheld, as I
caught an occasional glance through their dark silken
lashes, as she bent in silence over her sleeping boy.
Who con she be V I societally exclaimed ; so
young, so unprotected. Pilaw! what matters it to
me who she is.
The twilight of an autumn evening was fast
deepening into night, as the coach in which we
were fellow travellers whirled rapidly along. I drew
my cloak around me, and tried to compose myself
to slumber. For a time, that oblivion which is not
sleep, but a continuance of enduring thought, over
powered me; but my dozings wore restless—the
imago of the bankrupt Simpson rose before me, and
the four hundred pounds I shall lose by his insol
vency disturbed my reverie, and rendered me fidge
ty and uncomfortable. True, my income of three
thousand a year would not be lessened by it nor my
rent roll decreased: yet still I felt galled, as every
man does who loses four hundred pounds.
.Well I've refused to sign his certificate, so the
fellow will not profit by my loss,' thought I : that's
some consolation;—and with this noble feeling of
revenge against a man I had never seen, (for Simp
son has incurred his debt by becoming security for
a faithless friend) I again endeavored to , seal my
eyelids down, and steep my senses in forgetfulness."
But it would not do; and after twenty fruitless
efforts to woo and win the dulleyed god, by shifting
my position from corner to corner of the side I alone
occupied, I gave it up in despair. In silence, then,
I contemplated my oposite companion. She, it
seemed, was wakeful as myself, and ever and anon,
113 the coach stopped to change horses through the
night, she drew a folded paper from her bosom, and
by the dim light of a lamp at the inn door, or the
occasional gleam cast upon us by the ostler's lan
tern, threw a tinted, yet anxious glance over it, as if
to ascertain its safety, and again deposited it in her
bosom.
With the early morning we reached the market
town, to which the coach was destined ; and my
horse and gig awaited me at the door of the hotel
at which wo stopped. On alig,hting,my companion
demanded of the waiter hew far it was to Fairlight
House, and if any public conveyance went that
way 1
Tho man glanced at me, and replied It was ten
very bad miles, and a coach went past it only trice
in a week, and not before Monday,' (this was Sat-
•
urday.)
• Then I must proceed on foot,' replied the ques
tioner, with a sigh. Oblige me with a ben of
milk and some bread for my little boy, and instruct
mo the road I must take.
As she spoke she took up a small box in ono
hand and her child in the other, and was entering
the inn. I advanced and stated, I hope respectfully,
that I was myself going towards Fanlight, and as
my servant would proceed on a saddle horse, could
accommodate herself and child with a seat in my
gig. I added, smiling, as I saw a hesitation in her
countenance. You may trust me, madam ;my
horse is not very spirited, and I am u careful driver.
I will accept your offer, sir,' was the modest re-
ply, 'more on account of this poor boy than my
.lf; for toy cagr•rnese to get to Fairlight would
\-,,,l3aaDUcE) cD. dpiael34
make the way seem short, and, if possible, I mus t
return to London by to-night's mail from this place.'
Our first mile was passed in silence.
We then spoke of the weather, that favorite topic
of an English people, when they want something
to say. In truth, the morning was beautiful enough
to call forth admiration from the most unobserving.
The dew yet glittered upon the hedge-row blossoms
that threw out their fragrance as we passed; the
birds were pluming their wings, and pouring forth
their maths song of joy and liberty ! All nature
was smiling, and the eye that can look coldly on
such a scene, should forever be condemned to the
smoke and sameness of a crowded city, nor profane
the charms of natttro by its unworthy gaze !
When we had discussed the weather, I ventured
to inquire "if she knew much of the master of
Fairfield?'
Nothing personally,' she replied and little by
report, but that little was unfavorable. She dreaded
the interview, yet must see him, though hers was a
painful errand.'
• He may not be so unpleasant a person as report
has represented him madam,' replied I; •at least,
for your sake we will hope he is not:
My horse was a fleet one, and accustomed to the
country roads, and in less than an hour I pointed
out the white turrets of Fanlight house to my com
panion, rising amid a beautiful cluster of trees.—
In a few minutes more I drew my horse up at a
small wicket gate.
"That path, madam,' said I, "will lead you
across the park and lawn to the mansion, proceed
straight forward and your road is clear.'
Hastily assisting my companion with her chili
out of the gig, I hardly stayed to her the expression
of thanks breathed from the sweetest pair of lips I
thought I had ever beheld. Dashing down a lane a
few paces further, I gained the back of the premises
and was in the diningroom of f`airlight house be
fore the young matron, for such I judged her to be
with her little charge (whose tiny footsteps seemed
but ill to keep pace with his mother's anxiety to
mind as she gently led him along.) hod entered the
shrubbery conducting to the lawn. My directions
were protnptly given, and when the hall bell rang;
and a female voice inquired of old Steady, the but
ler, • is Colohel Belville at limner an answer was
given in the affirmative, and the lady was shown
into the little breakfa.st parlor, that acted both as my
morning -room and library. Befreshments were car
ried in, with Colonel Belville's coMpliments, and ho
would attend her immediately.
Changing my travelling dre . ss as quickly as might
be, though I fear .I did pay a little extra attention tO
the tie of the cravat, and the et eeteras of the toilet,
inn short time I stood before her.
When I opened the door of the library she had
risen, and was standing as if awaiting my approach;
one hand, of delicate symmetry and whiteness lean
ed on the chimney piece, supporting a cheek whose
hectic flush told the emotions that were agitating
her bosom, while in the other hand she held an opeii
paper. The little urchin was playing on the hearth
rug at her feet. • She is lovely !' woo the thought
that passed across my mind as I entered and advan
ced into the room.
Starting from the reverie in which it seemed she
had been plunged, with evident surprise she deman
ded, if she saw the master of Fairlight 1' With
a degree of aristocratical pride, for which I after
wards cursed myself, I answered, was the unwor
thy representative of that ancient house." Laying
the paper on the table before which I stood, with
the most taper finger I had ever beheld,—it might
have served the sculptor for a model of Venus' self,
—she pointed to a blank space in a list of names.
Your signature, Colonel Ilelvillc, is only wanting
to complete the list. Will you refuse to an anxious
wife what she has travelled so far to obtain ? It
will make up the four-fifths the law requires.' Her
voice faltered, and she paused for my reply.
The feelings of that moment may I never know
again ! With a cheek crimsoned by shame at my
former refusal, and a hand almost nerveless flout
emotion, I subscribed Charles Belville to the certifi
cate. Oh, woman ! how strong nrt thou in thy
