Yet unto me tbe stillness This burden seems to bring— “ Patience 1 tbe earth is waiting, Waiting for tbe spriDg ” Strong ash and sturdy chestnut, Rough oak and poplar high. Stretch out tbeir sapless branches Against the wintry sky. Even the guilty aspen Hath ceased her quivering. As though she too were waiting. Waiting for tbe spring.

O blackbird t O thrush ! why dost not singt Ah ! surely they are waitiDg, Waiting (or the spring.

It was this incident that suggested to Moore his song of the '• Evening Bells.” As Moere is not so much read now as he used to be our young readers: Those evening bells, those evening holla— How many a tale their music tells. Of youth and home, and that sweet time When last I beard their soothing chime, Those joyous hours have passed away, And maDj a heart that then was gay Within the tomb now darkly dwells And bears no more those evening bells.

Communication to the New York Graphic. Arthur McArthur, Judge of the Supreme Court of tbe District of Columbia, gave me an account of Pike last summer. Said he “ I beard of Albert Pike as being an Indian or Texan ranger, or something. He came to our court and stood tip thero like Moses or some patriarch. His long, gray hair in ring lets fell down his back and shoulders. He stood between six and seven feet high, and stout in proportion, weighing, I should think 300 or 400 pounds. A look of the frontiers man, tbe poet, and the lawyer seemed mixed in his face, w ith a type of something heathen and antique. He had a big bandana handker chief in his fist, clenched it into a little ball Ever and anon he drew this across his nose, and then seized it in his fist again. And then ho rolled off law and learning, solemn and right on the line of his argument, as prac tical ns could be, but his illustrations and quotations were rare and unusual. I was as tonished." Albert Pike is a man history has stepped over. There is no man in the world of so many sides to his character, and so plain withal. He was born at Newburyport, Mass., the son of a shoemaker. A willful poetical spirit took him to Mexico, and he re turned invi pack-train as a mule-driver, from Chihuahua to Fort Smith. Settling down in a printing office at Little Rock, be became an editor, lawyer and chief of the Whig party which be led with unflinching consistency through perpetual minority down to tbe civil war, fighting meantime in tho Mexican war and doing tbe government business of the Cberokees. He became rich and celebrated Quarreling with Jefferson Davis soon after the rebellion begaD, he withdrew from tbo Contest, and at tho close was poor.

His taste for books fxtends to their covering, and he has a pas •iou for elegant printing in common and col Ored ink, all his own volumes on Masonry and Hindoo philosophy being produced in this way by his amateur disciples. Fine words, dueling pistols which he has used on the field, a collection of elaborate pipes, which be smokes pretty much all the time, and si range things of virtu, are parts of his sur roundings. His poems have been collected and reissued within tbe past two years, and he boa written a series of books on Masonry, which queerly enough, have carried him from his apparently trivial theme back to mediae val Jewish and finally Sanscrit Masonry, as be believes. Not being a mason, I am only aware that, either as a poet or scholar, Pike has traced the germs of Masonry beyond the vestibule of history. He is a Sanscrit scholar, and has composed some abstruse treatise, now undergoing publication in London, which is spoken of with expectancy by his friends. t3T Any one familiar with Washington City within the past few years will readily recog nize tbe description given above of Gen. Al bert Pike, who is in many respects one of the most remarkable men in America. We made his acquaintance in the winter of 1868—'69. Ho was in company with Col. Elias Boudinot tbo first time we met him—who is also a man of note. They created a sensation wherever they promenaded “ the avenue,” and were the “ observed of all observers. ’ Col.
