DY FREDERICK MELLEN. “ And to look lisi’ning on the scatter’d loaves “ While autumn winds were at their evening song; " These were my pastimes '-Iâ€"-” They spake of a bright and fairy land Far ofl'in the golden wast; Where the wild flowers bloom’d on the yellow sand, And spirits of air had rest. The; spake of those who were dead and gone, Who had passed to that sunny shore: Who waiider’d back when the moon grow wan. To their own green woods once more. And often when the summer eve drew near, And t'alnt from the distant glen, The glnysome shout foll sweet on the our, From the wouricd harvest men; At the hour of rest. when tlie‘busy hum 0f the world had pass’d to sleep; Bright forms were said from their homes to come, 4 O'er their childhood’s haunts to weep. Those were life's young days, and the forest gloom For me had a holy charm. When the wither’d leaves sought their mossy tomb, In the autumn’s twilignt calm. For the voice of the falling leaf to me, Vt’as the voice of the your by-gone; And the doe-toned wind, the ininstrelsy That niourufully sped it on. And as I gazed on the glorious light. That slept on the distant hills. And heard through the coming shades of night. The laugh of tho leaping rills; The spirit sigli’d for the sun-bright land. That legends had pictured there ; And ot't4tiinos touch’d by the wild-fancy’s wand, “would wing through the evening air. To those far blue hills, and list to the sound 0f the joyous World below : Where strange wild music was breathing round And the bells rung sweet and low. Those Were youihlul days; they are ' pass’d and gone ; And the fairy lands is no more i For the dream of life hath sped quickly on, And boyhood’s vision o'er. 0 would tliatjtlie gush of the youthful heart, Would linger in ripor years 2 That its playful spirit Would not depart. In the hours of grief and tears. Itinuiun. “mash RICHMOND III '“ Leif Sound Reason’wetgh morewz'tlz' oat/ran Popular Opinion.” U LL, F stun, NOVEMBER - e1. tees. M Toefy.
