Now the East wind came with chilty wing, and the North wiad tode on icy pinion; yea, they met on high, and together coursing came tu Barth, and chill buimidity was ip their breath; yea the nipping air, and man was querrulous and cross, because of the unzenial season.

The moon had waxed ripe and round, yea in tall ro- tendity, sublime, she calmly coursed the great cerulean deep, with conntenance al! smiles. Yes, Nicht was ruried in her beams for she had made another Day, and all the clouds stood back and did her reverence. Yea the myriad starry watchers in her presence paled with homage. :

The mighty Tides came at her bidding, and vasty evelled along the shores of Ocean, and all the Bays were filled, and, navigable Rivers to their far off bounds were over full; and from the stormy beach, where igh billows toppling dashed their crested fronta, the strand- od Barque was floated, and bigh up things ail dry with age, beyond the common billews brim, unte the deep were carried ; yea, in the rugged visits of the swollen ‘ides the sedge grass. caught nutrition up, aad she, the Moon, was Potentate of Tides.

To tHe Epitor or tik Examiner. Mr. WarELan;

Sir,—Do vou know the reason why the Telegraph staff at the Garrison yard is not yet “ pipe-e!nyed, belted vnd ready for duty,” when it is so long beyond the usual period for that ceremony to be perforined ?

You say you do notknow! Well, do you think it can be owing to the majority of the House of Assembly having tied up His Excellency’s hanas se that he can- not pay some Tory favorite the sum of three pounds for the performance of a twenty shilling job, as has hereto- fore been the case? You say yon cannot believe that

to appear so! But if I teil you that some of the Liberal Merchants of this town are willing. out. of their owr funds, to pay for the replenishing the Telegraph staf with the necessary cordage, &c., and fino » man to ge' it ready for ita regular use, that the above excuse, evei if it came from Sir Donald himself, would be a reasona- ble onc, and thst a majority of the public will believe

Now when the Chief Ruler heard all the Pecple’s! People had deterinined against him, the terror of his! boson was great, and he said unto himself, Verily §}Co\coial System, and to the assurance given thet all the m.tst save myself from the indignation of the People’s} jritie) North American (*.! nies as weil ag all the
