How shoif, nml dark these winter days That come with fall ol snow utid rain Wilt winds that roam the untrodden ways, Ami sob at dusk outside'fhe pane. llow bleak and lone the bear fields lie That in the purple distance merge ; Haw cheerless looms the laden sky Along the dull horizon’s verge. Tho barren woods uo longer ring With summer carols of the lay ; The robio plumed his russet wing, And with tho Autumn passed awuy.

Outside the window where,the vino Hang", shivering, stripped of all its leaves, The iciclos like daggers shinoX Down pointing from the jagged caves. The gray dawn loiters on its way To touch tiie sombre east with light; Ami, like a timid fawn, the day Plies startled at the step o! night. In feathery Hakes the silent snow r Palls earthward from the chilly cloud, And wraps the frozen earth below In wintry whiteness like a cloud.

A Lively anif Picturesque Ylar- Ket-Piaee. Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 16, 1868. The stranger to Montgomery who may happen to reach the city on Snt urdny, if anxious to pick up an item or two, cannot da bet'er than to visit llio market, which is generally opo.i by three in the afternoon, continuing open till late at night. The market place is a miserable structure at b St, and pos itively disgraces tho city; but, as the preacher observed when caught kiss ing a colored sister, 1 it's the best there is.” The upper part of the main build ing does double duty as a Council chamber and as a po’icj elhee, while the lower part is vilely daubed with blue and red paint, making it loos fil thy in the ext.emo. Tlie stalls in the meat market rent for something like SIOO each per year, and the butch ers are perhaps the jolliest fellows one would like to meet with, each taking his “tod” at early daybreak with sent pulous regularity The quality of their meats is wnerallv qsnu bait- end Hui who go ttieie to obtain the nceessaneß of life for tbo support of their families. Attached to tbo meat-market is a long wooden shed, confined to the sale of fish and vegetables, at the end of which are two very ordinary colloo stands, where the beverage that cheers but not inebriates can be obtained as early as four o’clock in tho morning, and a vile mixture it is at that The Moslem, fresh from the land of tho prophet, would seek in vain for any trace of the delicate aroma, supposed to boa distinguishing trait of tho geu uine bevel age, and if tho party who swallows it sweats it is nothing but sweet potatoes, cut into dice, roasted and ground, be will not be very wide ol the mark. In tho open air, extend ing from these coffee stands to Ferry street, are several tables, where poorer qualities of meat can bo purchased, and where market wagons most do congregate; and, having reached this point, the vi-itor has seen all there is of the market. Evetyfiody go’s to market, ns n mat ter of epurso—young anil old, rich anfi Door, v bile and black, high an I low ; dignitaries of the chinch and ker.o players, blushing brides and bruised and battered vympTis da pave, keen eyed policemen and negro chicken thieves, old deci ipid oc ogenarians and laughing children—all jostle each oth er in every direction. Some aro there hy appointment to incut engngementß i>i' business or pleasure; others go to be seen, while others go to sue how small a lot ot pro.isions can be cairiod away for the few dollars they inuy have to invest, while all around a steady stream of conversation is going on that really rivals the scenes enacted at the tower of Babel previous to its destruction That may have a feint idea of it, permit me to forward you a lew floating paragraphs as they fel upon my ear in rapid succession : “Never made a better bargaiu, sir.

At Montanp a young man and a young woman cane on board of the sleeping cir, and the former said : “S ;e hereAlr 0 iiiue tor, I want one ofyonr bunks for this young woman aud one for myself indi vidually One wll do for us when we git to the Bluffs, hey, Marier? (a play ful and affectionate pike at “Marier” with his c!b or, to which she repli and, “now John quit ? ’) for y. u see w.’flc goiu' to git married’ at Marier’a uncle’s when wc git there- We might a’ b?en niwrioJ at M intanny, but we took a habit to wait till wo got* to the Bluffs, bein’ as Miner's ui cle is a imoi»t:T, and they chargo a g<>l’ fir and price L-» hitoliu’ folks at Montanny.” Maria was a signea to one ol tho “best bunks, ’’ aud John was given one not for away. After a lime iho innrn'ea of tho car wore all strowed away in their berths to go through the inrvi’abte alterna tions ~f sweltciing aud fre. zlrtg. During a stoppage of the train at one station the voice of John was heard, raised in pleading accents, all uncon scious that the train had stopped, and that tones which the noise of tho rat tling wheels bad d-owued while the ears were moving, e >uld be distinctly heard by all when they hod stopped. “Now,Ma-ri, you might give a feller j b’ one kiss” “John, you quit, or I’ll git. right oqt here and hwf it back to Montanuy iu the snow storm ’’ “Only one little kbs, M irier, anil I’ll go; hope to die ii I don’t.” “John—” Ju-t at that interesting moment a gray bead protruded from a 1 earth at the Other cud of the ca ! ', .... J aa old man cried out so that ail could hear: ‘.Marier, for Uid’s sake give Jehu one ki3S, so that wo can go to sleep bjejc; tiuie to-night." It is needless to remark that a peal of laughter rang fr,,-m one end of the ear to the other, under cover of which John flunk back to the solitary scolu sioa of his “butk,” leaving Marier to the uudis uibed possession of her mar riago license, which she interpreted to permit no license, to John until uccom panied by the proper oeniiioate.
