CLOUDS AT SUNSET.
Ye floating clouds, vast solitudes in hc9V*n*e
Expanse; thy edges fringed like angel's
Wings, with gold, and then the roseate hoe '
: So aolUy o'er ye thrown, as blushes seen
By moonlight on a mainden's check to rest.
Whence arc yo? and whither do ye go? We
Sometimes deem the c floating isles, with spirits
Thronged to watch us through the night; and then
We say,thou art the light’ning’s home,the burnished
Conch on which the thunders sleep—the lever
Whereupon tho whirlwind sets his foot, when
-From the centre to its bounds he shakes the
Quaking globe. But ye are fading, fading .
Out, and like the beauty of a woman’s -
Face, when comes the night of age, thy gold and
Ruby tints arc vei|od,by twilight’s deep’ning
Shades. And such is life! We bask awhile in
Ray* of borrowed light, until some question
With distrustful voice, whence come ye, and
Whither do ye go ? Scarce is the answer
Given, ere shades of death steal o’er our brow,
And hearts in .which we were so late enshrined,

The Phrenologist.

I never recollect a warmer enthusiast
than Professor Leyden. When lie spoke,
he seemed to forget all other worldly
circumstances,' all other subjects, save
the one engrossing topic on which he
was engaged. His eye, widely dilated,
.declared that lie- had passed it to'the
nest, who in his turn denier? all knowl
edge of it, as did the' rest of the com
pany.
• -Every one had-seen it, every one had
handled it, but none could now produce
The room was searched, the serr
saw no object save the bright imagery
created by his fertile brain. His voice
was impassioned. His every pulse
heat high. The Professor, at the timdC
I speak of, was just two-and-thirty,
and ranked himself as the very leader

and the ccllnr-cooled Laffiite stood
temptingly, on a table, around which
about a dozen joung men, with the
worthy Baron and the Professor sat.
It appeared that, in the height of his
enthusiasm, Leyden had, to please the
company, examined* their heads, and
with many wise looks pressed the
bumps which he declared to be the un
erring indications of the human charac
ter and passions. Some unfortunate
