To A U T U M N.
OWFET Autumn! how thy melancholy
O grace
Steals on my heart, as through these fhadcs I
wind :
Sooth’d by thy breathing figb, I fondly trace
Each lonely image of tli* pensive mind.
Lov’d Genes, lov’d friends, long lofl ! around
me rile,
And wake the melting thought, the tender
tear :
That tear, that thought, which, more than mirth,
1 prize ;
Sweet as the gradual tint that paints thy year!
Thy farewell smile, with fond regret I view,
Thy beaming lights, Jolt gliding o’er the
woods j
Thy diflant tandfeape. touch’d with yellow hue,
While falls the lengthen’d gleam, thy wind
ing floods.
Now veil’d in fliade, save where the fkiff’s
white fails
Swell to the breez*, and catch thy dreaming
™y.
But -now, e’en now, the partial vision fails,
And the wave Indies, a lwccps the cloud
away :
Emblem of lif e ! thus chequer’d in its plan :
Thus joy fuccecds to grief ; thus 1 miles the
varied man.
From LONDON PAPERS.
The young ladies finding that the
thrifty fafhion has done no good for them,
iiave oflate increased tilt waift,and thus,
difeovered a wish to \wl\ form body rather
than nobody, ‘idle crjlus is now two in
ches lower than formerly.
We are told that the ladies arc now
beginning to extend the length of their
waists, and to fix the zone in a temperate
region, equally removed from the ex
tremes. it is fortunate that the female
lhape is so pliable as to yield to every mo
dification of elegance which falhion may
determine, and to please in a form which
a few months ago would have been iineer
ed at as vulgar, and again to captivate
with case in a dress which woulda-t pre
sent be as much ridiculed in a polite af
femblyas the purapharnalia of a female
Hot t. mot.
Thole Pigeon hearted lovers whom a
smile is fgincient to enfiave, or a glance
to captivate, mult be utterly overpower
ed when, in addition to these long-tried
weapons, they are assailed by the new in
vented artillery of love—the irrefiltible
force of a fair iad y’selbozvs.
