TilE MUSEUM. From Blackwood’* Magazine. THE ELM TREES. Oh! may these trees be ever green, Perpetual spring enwreath them, May bloom on every bough be seen, And lovely flowers beneath them ! Be fresh each leaf, be strong each form, No biting winds impair them ; And may the red wing of the storm Pass ever by, and spare them! Twas here, in boyhood, that I stray’d, When not a care molested; With her I lov’d, beneath this shade, On summer days I rested. 1 feel those years revive again, So aweet and far departed— Ah! thoughts like these are worse than vain, They mock the broken-hearted! It is a melancholy scene To view the woodlands yellovl, And winter’s snow, where late serene Wav’d Autumn’s harvest mellow; But ’tis a more desponding truth, To feel that we must sever From all that gave delight to youth, Despairing, and forever! As in a mirror, vanished years This well known view is raising. With lightning glow the pas appears, As thoughtful I am gazing! May no rude hand this spot deform, No biting winds impair it; And may the red wing of the storm Pass ever by, and spare it. WHIMSICAL ANECDOTE. The following anecdote is related of a Calloway clergyman, who was much cele brated among hia coteinpo anes lor his wit and his humor, and who is even supposed by some to have been the r al author id ‘•Maty’s Dream,” a ballad, which, brief at.d unpretending as it is, probauly opens mote beautifully than any poem in the English language, and which, in the absence of al most every other proof of literary excel lence, has long been celebrated to the name of Lowe. From this individual’s manse to the margin of the Dee, was only a step, and “many a time and olt,” when tired with study or fatigued by business, tie found it delightfully refreshing to spot t amidst its waters, exclaiming with the poet, Life owns in every pause the refreshing power And one short shudder warms through many an hour. On one of these occasions, the bather had no sooner regained tiie gteen sward, than he observed 10 his astonishment, that his clothes were completely covered with a swarm of bees, which, assisted by the warm weather and without once dreaming id the theories of Malthas, had emigrated from a narrow territory. Poets are said to be naturally fund of bees ; no man, we believe, can ies his admiration of these insects so far as to al low them tobivouack on his coat snd small elothes-tparticularly when he is himself in want of/such accommodations. At least 30 telt 4c minister of . Unwilling i to remain longer in tlie water, and yet a fraid 0 proke the hostility ot the angry m sects'ne made several timid efforts u* re gai Jut property; but the winged phalanx where on the alert, and he only ftS ilpei* from a thorough stinging by plung ji/repeatedly into the Dee. In ’this di 1/nma he betook himself a little longer to ■fe exercise of swimming, in the hope that Time kind neighbor would pass by, and ei her furnish him with anew suit of clothes pr dislodge the enemy from the old one. But in this hope he was disappointed— the /ti-.ie was wearing au iy—the water was getting rather chill—and he appeared to have nothing for it but to run home with all his might ; yet even this was a disagreea ble alternative. Thedistance was not con siderate, but still be might be seen—might be met on the way, and what would his pa rishioners think, if they were told that their Minister was observed scampering through the fields in a state of nudity ? These wete puzzling reflections; but-ne cessity has nol iw.and at last the eccentric par9on fairly broke from his confinement at all hazards. Faking the irost circuitous route, lie bounded over the “Ward with the agilitv of a young savage., and iri despite ot thorns and pricktrs, cleared bushes and hedges like a first ra e hunter. At this rate he ai riv and within a fen- paces of his own door, Unno:icfd and uokiiotvr, : but here, two or three individual*, employed i:i carrying’ clothes to the bleaching green, became ter ribly alarmed at the unwonted apparition of a nuked man. In an instant, down went band ha;row, tub and watering pan, and nimble as his reverence was, he was fairly out; un by those he was <o anxious to avoid, but whom he now appeared to be pursuing. • IV."serve me! preserve me ! Saw ye ever tiie like a’ tln r p Whaur’s the body rinnin ? lie's mad 1 lie’s mail ! Open the door 1 O, open the door, or we’ll drap down wi* par lect fear!” were the only sounds that salu ted tiis ears ; but if it was bad to advance, t ■ ’•etrrat would h ive been still woise; and the w-. thy pa ?on bolted in at the manse and ‘.>r,and hurried to his bed-room, in deti- E-.ce >t every obstacle. lice he bad Jeis- U'j t * milect on this singular adventure; I a. and ..ere he determined never again to veil-; t• ■ r*- > * the Dee, without taking precau-1. tin t> against the intrud'd: of the bees.
