POETRY.
CHILDHOOD AND ITS VISITORS.
by c. t. bclweb.
Once on a lime, when sunny May. .
Waa kissing tip ths-April showers,
I .aw fair Childhood bard at play
Before a bank of blushing flowers.
Happy he Knew not whence or hw j
A nd smirting who con'd choose lut love b'nit
For not more glad than Childhood's brow
Was the gay heaven that laughed above him.
Old Time came hobbling in Lis wrath.
And that groen vallc-y'a calm iovadt-d ;
The brooks grew dry beneath his ath.
The birds were mote, the lilfies faded ;
A Grecian tomb Mood full in sight,
. And that old Timea be? an lo batter,
But Childhood watched hia paper kite,
Nor heeded he one whit the matter.
With coiliog lip, and rye askance.
Golft gased upon the acene a minute.
But childhood s arc My simple gl .nee
Had such a holy spclf within it
That the dark demon to the air
Again spread forth ita baffled pinion,
And bid hia envy and despair.
Self-tortured. In hia own dominion.
- i
Then stepped a gloomy phantom np,
Tale ijprefa crooned, night'a woeful daugh
ter, And proffered 1,1m a fearful cup,
Fall to the brim of Litter water;
Bays Childhood' "Madam, what's your name?"
And when the beldame ot I erred '-Sorrow,"
Then cried, "0oo't ioterrnpt my game,
I prithee call again tomorrow."
The muse of Pindos thither came,
Ai d wi-oed him with the a- fieat bombers
That ever scattered wealth and farao
Upon a youthful poet's slumbera.
Though sweet the lyre and sweet the lay,
To Childhood it waa all a riddle;
"Good gracious I" criod be, "a end away .
That noisy woman with a fl Idle I"
Then Wisdom slolo bit hat and! ball.
And taught him with most sage endeavor,
Why bnhblea rise and acorna fall.
And why no j-y raa last forever;
8be talked of all the wondrous laws
Which Nature's open book discloses;
Bui Childhood, when be made a pause,
Was fast asleep among the roses.
Sleep on, sleep on 1 Palo manhood 'a dreams
Are all of earth) pain or pleaaure ;
Of glory's toita, arabitioo'a aclienj'.a,
Of chorisbed lore or hoarded treasure ;

SINGULAR CASK-NEARLY BURIED ALIVE
A Inter from Cleves, Hamilton cmin-
ly, Ohio, says r-UWat Cckman, a weal
thy citizen of this place, was taken vio
lently ill on the morning of the I5th,
and by having the prompt . and kind
services of two 'erudite Bsciilapiuses.
received his ."quiet us" about five o'clock
the same day. Next morning the d
fnnct Eckman waskirxily stowed away
m nis comn, ana joitea in a market
wagon to the Borea Church, a distance
ot two miles, where ; a funeral sermon
was preached by the Rev. Wm. Lee.
The solemn thing was about coucludrd,
the last hymn was read, and the choir
was about to', "strike up," when they
were suddenly annoyed by discordant
and very unmusical sounds, aud kick?,
which it seemed obvious were going on
inside the coffin. You may posi-ihly
imagine there was some consternation
in that meetinghouse about that time
well, there was nothing else for a few
minutes: At least half of the congre
gation broke fur the door, and the bal
ance were about to "fol'ow suit, ' when
the Rev.: Mr. Lee descended from the
pulpit, and in a loud voice ordered the
coffin t he speedily opened,, which was
done, when it was -found-, that Wat.
was not only alive and kicking, bi.t
was struggling manfully to' free him
self from his to him mysterious con
finement., "The blood , was . flowing
freely from his mouth and nose, bnt in
a very few minutes . he was able ..' to
speak. He was carried to the house of
Abraham Patterson, Esq., about two
hundred yards from the Church, and a
physician sent for. who remained with
him until the next morning, when he
was able to walk about the room.
