I’ll pass away like the evening glow That glimmers stilt on the mountain snow, And the chilly shade of night will close My sleeping dust in the dark repose. I’ll come again on the morning beam. That wakes my love from the troubled dream— Aud I’ll gild with joy the trickling tears, And illume with hope foreboding fears. I’ll fade and fall like the withered tree Aud the tempest’s moan my dirge shall be— In the sighing breeze I’il come again And whisper bliss in every pain. I’ll pass away like the fes'al song; Ye’ll see me not in the g«alv throng— But my voice of love shall still be heard In plaintive notes of the summer b.rd. I’ll fall and pass like a Hake of snow Before the sun in its noon-tide glow*— i’ll come m a drop of vernal shower, And smile re love from a beam-lit liovver. I’ll come atrain on a summer cloud, And robe myself in its fleecy shroud — Or shining forth in its varied hue, From the rainbow’s arch, i’ll gaze on you. I’ll come on the wavelet’s spiral gleam, .When moon-rays sport on the mountain stream — i’ll come in the soft Eolian tone, When the winds the dyinli spring bemoan. And when in that sadly closing hour The gloom of death shall round thee lower— C) then I’d come as a seraph bright, And fly with thee to our home in light. OSCAR. MISCELLANEOUS.

Ways of 11 "•-“lt 'iH.'in r and s'.'ivTiry n hvr*hctrt f nts — JL+iii-tiOi 1 1 miry prt dUu 'iw/y—Harm r, t>t.-uiy tf — Jewe —Stating »j labour tt-tux.io***. \ Ave-y pleasant way of spending life in l Bo ido j, is lor a -nan to become an “advertise*! uncut.,” caber ponpatetlck or statonury. if; 1 the former, he still retains the privilege of a I mail-like power of locomot o:i, and moves [along from one end of the street to the other, encased hi painted, or printed and pasted wood, announcing to the public the d.scovery of some certain i preventative against death in every shape—the superior polish of a certain black ing—when and where such and such a line ofj coaches or steamboats leave* town and return. If stationary, lie takes his place where two streets form an angle; and there, concealed between two boards, from morn till night, amid t.ic giddy whirl and tumult around, he passive ly exhibits his invaluable statements to tiie pub-, lie. “ What piece of work is man ! How noble in reason!—how infinite in faculties!” etc. etc. The truth is, there is a scarcity of; blank walls in the business parts of the me- 1 tropolis, and the house-ends contain notices of j “no bills to be stuck here,” under penalty of prosecution ; trades-people therefore, who dc-i pend on glorious announcements, have hit up on the ingenious device of substituting a man! fora house-end ; they get him, like Snug, the j joiner, in the famous tragedy of “ Pyramus l and Thisbe,” to “ present a wall!” And' he does “present ” one from sunrise until dark-1 ness relieves and reanimates him, and then, inj the language of honest Snug, he exclaims, (or might exclaim) — “ Thus have I, Wall, mv part discharged so ; And, being done, this Wall away doth go !” You sometimes lose sight of the semi-vital pro perties of those wooden cases. We were pe rusing one of them the other morning, when we perceived something oscillating at the top of the boards in a very singular manner—first! visible and then invisible. Looking closer, in order to solve the mystery, we perceived a small meagre old man woman standing beside the annoucement, with a piece of bread and a pot e. HAsaiSJTSB,, paaawaiß & PUEiasiKina, of someth in ji'hot in her hand, doubtless a sul>- stitute lor codec, which she ever Ac anon hand ed in between the boards. It was the adver tisement taking its breakfast! and every time it put ti;e bread or codec to its month, the head disappeared between the boards and then em erged again. The sight was not altogether lu dicrous—there was a touch of humanity about it. The advertisement, it was evident, was not wholly without sympathy —it hud its ties and relationships. Amid the thousands and thousands that passed it through the long dry, w ithout a thought, there was still that small meagre figure coming, creeping through inter minable streets, to administer to its necessities; stil someone to stir the fire for it, (if coals were not too dear,) when it went home at evening. It was yet a few degrees superior to actual wood, or brick and mortar. But it went an endless* and, in many n>- jpects, irksome task to attempt to sketch the unherd of shifts, and strange menus jesorttd to for a livelihood in London. Really some of them are almost sufficient to stagger the faith in the virtue of our existing social laws and covenants. True is the proverb that “ or.e half tire world knows not how the other lives.” And melancholy it is to think that while grinding povortv compete some to resort to v.ich p'unfully-lndiciQJs schemes for the pro longation of an unattractive existence, others, blessed win the most ample worldly means for their own enjoyment, and the diffusion ol good to others, should be cur. ed with irrational fan cies, which placet them even lower in the scale of creation than unman advertisements. Next to man himself, no class of animals presents the inequalities of existence so forci bly and dramatically as the horse. What a feeling contrast is exhibited between the proud racer—the imbodiment of speed and vigour— and the poor superanuated, attenuated occu pant of the sand-cart —the very image of pa tient misery, waiting death. Nearly all the in termediate classes are to be met with, in and about Loudon, save and except the enduring, strong-boned, though not handsome hunter — the sort of horse that will carry fourteen stone for half a day, over the hedges and ditches of a ploughed country. It must cIo the eye of an. artist good—u Landseer, a Cooper, or a Ci»a --lon —to stroll about the west end of the town, and no.c the suj erb specimens of this animal to be met with in all directions. In greatest profusion come’ the stately carrriage-horses, bright bays with black legs, and skins of the texture of velvet. High-fed, pampered min ions! how proud they look as they feel the slight check of the reins, and draw themselves up. I low aristocrat icaliv they glance towards the passing cribs ! and how very perfect is tl e union of beauty and power in their large frames. A race-hor.se and a hunter always look a shade too spare when in proper trim ; but these car riage-horses, though distinguished by the ab sence of all superfluous fieshness, present not a single angular point to ofiend the eye of the most fastidious. They are in the exact state for the free, though not extreme, development of muscular power. Twin come the gentle men’s riding-horses, slighter and with more oi blood, and, consequently, speed and fire about them ; the ladies’ pads, small and delicate, and graceful as their riders; the cab-draggcr, ani mals that have an air of faded gentility about them—horses that have, evidently seen better days, and still retain some points of breeding, but who have been debased and corrupted in consequence of their mode of life, and the keeping of low company —to wit, that of their drivers. Still lower in the scale, sleeping on their stands, and indulging in imaginary vis ions of food, stand, “ misery’s playfellows,” the wretched anatomies, who eat about once a week, and drain out the dregs of existence in the service of old fiery-visaged, gin-drinking hackney-coachmen—creatures physically in as bad condition as their horses, and morally a great deal w orse. Again ; there, perhaps, exists not a greater contrast in animal existence—not even between the lank, dinnerless, threadbare author, reject ed of publishers, and in debt to his landlady, and the oily, luxurious, turtle-fed alderman—- than is presented by those said hacks and the plethoric London drav-horses, particularly those attached to the large breweries.
