EVENING.

O'sn the heath the heifer strays, Free, the furrowed task is done,

Now the village windows blaze Burnished by the setting sun.

Now he hides behind a hil), Sinking from a golden sicy :

Can the penci!’s mimic skill Copy the refuigent dye ?

Tredging as the plougemen go, {fo the smoking hamlet bound.) @iant-like their shadows crow, Lengthened o’er the level ground.

Where the rising forest spreads Shelter for the lordly dome,

To their high-built airy beds See the rooks returning hone!

Asthe lark, with varied tune, Carols to the Evening loud ;

Mark the mild resp!endent Moon Breaking through a parted cloud.

Now the hermit ow!et peeps From the barn, or twisted brake ; And the bine mist siowly creeps,

. Curling on the silver lake.

Aa the trout, in speckled pride, Playful from its hosoin springs,

To the banks a ruffled tide Verges in successive rings.

Tripping through the silken grass, O'er the path-divided dale,

Mark the rose-conrp/exioned Hose With her well-poised milking pail.

Linnets, with unnumbered notes, Aud the Cuckoo bird with two, ‘Tuning aveet their mellow throate,

Bid the setting sun adieu !

GinuisHh Merament.—-Is there any thing in life so lovely and poetical as the jaw rh and merriment of a young girl, who ati!l in harmony with all her powers aporta with you im luxuriant freedom, and in her mirthfulness neither despises nor dislikes? Her gravity is seldom ag inno- cent as her playfulness; still tess that hauchty discontent which divetts the youttifal \Psvehe mto a call, taick, sbuz- ene, wing-drooping bightmoth, Among a certain Inditn tribe the youth selecied afa feast that meiden?for marriage who laughed in her, sport; perlacs my opr nion 1c] nos the sane way.

could sterreatype this comedy by lay nme it in wedded life, and sor retunek enliven the dull epic of the husdand or hero, by her own come heroic poetry, she would enjoy the delight of winning and enchant- ing both husband and children. Never fear that ferninine playfiilness will exctode depth of character and sensibility. The still eneray of the heart isvever growing and filling itself beneath the ontward glee.

the peanle there, being the want of some contiguous market for their produce, at sufficient remunerating . prices, which they cannot be said to have at present.

SUGGESTION FOR SAFETY IN THumpER “roams. —Sedulously avoid ail conduc- tors of electricity. Do hot shelter under reps, hor go near them; the great me rity of accidents arise from want of tai precaution. Do not hanale or be very close to mnetallic bodies; a servant clean- ing a silver fork ata window, during a ‘hunder-storm, the prongs being outwards, was strack, but not killed ; a young lady during the same storin, sewing near a window, was thrown from her seat and experienced a glow. ‘he centre of a reom, if a metallic lustre is not pendant, is eafe rthan any other part of the apart- ment, It is not safe to be between the win- dow and the door,er fire-place, where there is a.current of air. A bed is ‘the securest retreat, 60 all ye who fear, and fail to éorive pleasure, mingled with awe, in behalding this, the grandest of nature’s wneteors, EnscONCe yourselves within the
