Last night, how quiet was my mind ; And howr devoid ofev'ry grief; 'Twns tranquil at the Southern wind, Which scarcely agitates a leaf : 'Twas milder than the clear blue sky Without a sing'e cloud ; and then, So calm, that il forgot to sigh, Or think, that oh ! ’twnuld bleed again ! A form arose before my mind ; Oh ! how it ninde my bosom thrill ! The Spirit never can he blind, 'Mid the world’s deepest, darkest ill ! What caus'd this vision,—this sweet dream, Which was so heav'nly bright and fair ; Causing my bosom then to seem, -As if there was no sorrow there f 'Tie not so now ; 'tis gone, ’tis fled ; I fear'd it was ton sweet to Inst : It was a light which round me shed, A brilliant ray ; but now tis pest. Oh ! I was never form’d for Ibis ; Why was it ever sent to me ? Was it to yield a transient bliss, Then drown in deeper misery f The cause, alas ! I know it well f I felt it then—l feel it yet: It was not that I hid farewell, Or cherish'd aught of deep regret! Thera is a form, a lovely one, That I do worship fearfully ; For thus to love this form alone, Is loss of heav’n eternally ! And there were eyes that seem’d to shine, Far brighter than they shone before ; And cheeks on which there did recline, A blushing smile, I did adore. Methouglit those eyes did rest on me, And tell me what the tongue would not ; That smile too, oh how thrillingly It waken’d thoughts, I've not forgot ! But now, those eyes are dim again ; Those cheeks arc colorless—and strange, I mark the sigh, which speaks of pain, Instead of joy ;—why is this change ? And if per chance those eyes now meet Mine, with tlieir eager searchingnoss, They do not gaze as brightly sweet, As once they did—with spriglitliness. Why is this change in cheek and eye ; In ev’ry index ofthe heart ? Oh ! thought, be still ; to this I’ll fly, Thou wilt not say that wa must part * I've known, have felt of Earth's deceit ; Hare purchas'd hope with deadly cost ; And now 'liescatter'd at my feet; I almost feci that I am lost. jFHfgfrltang. Tailing the Starch out of'em! BY THE YOUNG ’ UN. A knot of idlers stood upon the end of a pier which ran out into the Hudson Ri. ver. in one of the small towns near Alha r>\. il few days ago, amusing themselves with hurling stones into the broad stream, each vieing with his neighbor in the en (leaver to pitch a missle at the farthest dis tance from the shore, when a tall, rugged lmilt, Vermonter, direct from the Green Hills, suddenly made his appearance in theii midst, and for a while remained n quiet observer of their movements. He was a brawny, strong-looking Yan kee ami very decently clad. The effirts of the little party had been exibited ovet and over again, when the stranger quietly picked up half a brick which lay nearhim, and giving it a jerk, it fell in the water u long way beyotmd the line which bad as yet been reached by the foremost of the crowd. At the conclusion of this feat, a loud “ bravo!” went up from half a do zen voices around him. It was a cold, clear day in October, and the men, determined not to be outdone renewed their attempts; but the Vermon ter, without saying a syllable to any one* entinued to pitch the pebbles far out into the stream, which seemed to annoy one of them in a green jacket the apparent leader of the gang, who declared he wouldn’t be a "feller right stiait out o’ the woods, no how and sidling up to the stranger, he determined to make his acquaintance. “Where do you come from,neighbor !’’ inquirer! the other. “Mel Wal, 1 hails from Varmount, jes’ naow, friend.” “ Haint been in these parts long, I reck’n." ** Wal—no. Not edzakly, yere—but up and daown, sorter.’* “ Yis—so 1 ’sposed.” “ Yaas,” continued the green ’nn, care lessly, and seizing a big billet of wood, he twirled it over his head, and it landed sev eral rods from the shore, in the water. “ You’ve a little strength in your arms neighbor.” “ Some * pum’kius’—is them flippera_ T7p in amir tsO-VTt, rtjore'n a BOOK AND JOB PRINTING Will be executed in lie neatest style, and upon the most favorable terms, at the Office of (he SCTJTZEPsIT TZIBIITZ, -BY WM.

" May be you don't b’lieve it." ‘Not much,' answered the crowd. “We aint r try green, down here in York— tee aint,” Raid the fellow in th* green jacket ; “ we’ve been about, you see." "Wal.jes yeu look yete, friend,” con tinued the Vermonter, in the most plausi ble manner ; “up in aour canunty, we’re a putty big river, considerin'—lnyun Riv er, it'a called, and may he you’ve beam on it. Wal, I hove a man clean across that river t'other day, and he came down fair and square on t’other side I" * Ha, ha, ha /" j elled his nnditors. " Wal, mow, yeu may lass, but 1 kin deu it agin.” . "Do w hat ?” said tho green-jaket, quick* iy- "I kin take and heave yeu across that rivrry yender, jest like open andshet!” "Bet you ten dollats of it.” “ Done!” said the Yankee ; and draw ing forth an X (upon a broken Down-East bank !) be covered the shinplaster. " Kin yeu swim, feller?” “ Like a duck," said green jacket—-am! without futther parley tho Vermonter seiz ed the knowing Yorker stoutly by th® nape of the neck and tiie seat of his pants, jerked him from his foothold, an almost superhuman eff .rt, dashed him heels over ftom the end of the dock—some ten yards out into the Hudson River. A terrific shout rang though the crowd, ns ho floundered into the water, and amidst thejeors and screamsnf his companions, the ducked loafer put buck to the shore am! scrambled up the hank, half frozen hy this sudden and involuntary cold hath. " I'll take that ten-spot, if you please.” said he, shivering, advancing rapidly to the stakeholder. "You took trs for green horns, eh?— We’ll show you how tee do things down here in York”—and the fel low claimed the twenty dollars. “ Wall, I reck’n you wont take no ten spots jes’ yit, cap’n.” " Why ? You’ve lost the bet.” " Not edzactly. I didn’t calkilate on deunin’ it thefust time —hut I tell yeu, I kin deu it,” —and again in spite of the loafer’s utmost efforts to escape him, he seized him hy the neck and tho seat of his over-alls, and pitched him three yards far ther into the river than upon the first trial!
