n frOtt.T-JHL, CABOL1NA; SJEHI M , SUMMER'S GONE. By Mrs. Norton., Hark, through the dim woods dying, ' With a inoao, Faintly the winds are sigbin ;' ' Summer's gone ! p There when my bruised heart feeletb, And the pale moon her face revealcth, Darkljrmy, footstep sjtealeth "To weep alone. rv Hour after hour I wander,. By men unseen And sadly ray wrung thoughts ponder, On what hath been, , , Summer's gone! .. There in our own green bowers, Long ago, Our path through the tangled flowers Threading slow ; Oft hand in hand entwining Oft side by side reclining We've watched in its crimson shining The sunset glow, imlythe sun now burneth For mh alone Spring after spring returnctb, Thou art gone, 1 Summer's gone! Still on. my warm cheek playetn " pThe restless breeze : Still in its freshness straycth f" Between the trees, still the blue streamlet gusficth till the broad river rusheth -Still the calm silence husheth The heart's disease: iut.who shall bring our meetings Back again! What shall recall thy greetings Loved in vain ! Summer's cone! MIDNIGHT MUSINGS. 1 am a lover of the midnight hour. I love to sit on a cloudless summer night, watching the heavens clustered with tremulous stars. I lo ve to gaze upon the serene queen of night, as she progresses along the azure vault, shedding Hoods ot mellow light upon the world below. Xi I f a y i i t i ue enecv is magical ana suoaumg. . very thing that is touched by her silvery beams, is softened and ethercalized. Then the soul sym pathises with the grandeur that nature dis plays. . To me there is nothing so sublime and im pressive, as the silent and quiet midnight liour and to reflect that in this deep and universal hulk, the stupendous globe, and the vast number of flashing worlds that stud the Wue. canopy 01 heaven, are performing their various revolution under the guidance and di rection of Him, at whose fiat they sprang into existence At such a time, the soul is disen gaged from every artificial excitement, and an opportunity is afforded for it to speak its own 1old original language. Society hath its charms. There is a pleas ure in the flash and glare of fashion and beau ty; and under their thrilling influences, those with unwithered hopes, and unbiasted expec tations, tread boldly on. But it seems to me, that if by some untoward accident, the convictions should tasten itself upon me that my Jast hour iad come, I should require no sublimer prepara tion than Yime spent in perfect solitude the vastness, the grandeur, and glory of midnight! what deep and absolute silence broods in the air, and over the earth upon the deserted street, and upon the temples of the living God. Is not this a dream ? ,Will it appear otherwise when daylight shall have come? when we shall go out and pursue the ordinary routine of business; and the street that is now deserted, shall tremblii as the wheels thunder furiously over it, and its dusty tracks be thronged with avaricious men, crying money ! money ! Will this dim moonlight hour appear to uVthen anv more than a dream? And indeed what is our life, but a dream ? Ah! 'tis "nothing more. He, who but yesterday foved the forest with us gathering wild flow ers, listening to the songs of birds or watching the brook bright and sunny daughter of the hill-r-leaping and bounding in its joyous way along the banks of emerald pouring over the tiny cataract, its bright water sparkling in the sun light meandering through the vale till it finally loses itself in the bosom of the silvery She, by whose side we used to spend our leisure hoursjhose presence was our joy; whose smile our happiness; whose eye was not exceeded in brightness by the eye of the o-azelle ; whose sylph-like form was unrivalled for beau ty and symmetry has departed! Does she deem aught but a dream? She who once loved us, whose eye followed our every movement with tenderness and anxiety upon whose- breast we reclined from whose lips we have received instruction and by whose kneee used to say our evening prayer, rests upon her lowly pillow. Does she not seem as a vision, the recollection of vvhicn is pleasing,. yet mournful? Hark! the clock strikes one two! Does the breeze waft the sound to other ears? Who also beside is now awake ? The student upou Whose pale brow the cold sweat stands: whose blood shot eye tells of flecp and intense thought, is now poring over iiis books, regardless of-presect ease hoping for future fame. And the debauchee stretched on a bed of flame thro' whose veins the mad fever runs whose burning temples are kissed by the bree zy in mdekery. And the wife who waits the return of him she -V.esrrom Re gaining house the counterpart of hell. . . And the young mother who wakes and sighs nS riyuh !e has buried.
