Old winter teek-) a parage out; He fidgets anxiously about, Up stairs and down with bustling air, And picks his duds up hete and there ; Quickly, O quickly! Ilaste ! open window, open heart! Quickly, 0 quickly! He’s np.ed young rfpruig before the door, He knows his madcap-pranks of yore ; To tweak his ear were sport, I trow, Or pluck his reverend beard of snow ; Quickly, 0 quickly ! Haste ! open window, open heart! Quickly, O quickly ! Spring knocks already at the door— Hark ! ’tis his cheering voice once more ! He knocks with all the force he may With his little meadow-fiower hoquet ; Quickly, 0 quickly! Haste ! open window, open heart Quickly, O quickly ! And it you a.e not prompt to hear, He has his train of servants near; He’ll summon them to help his will And knock and beat more loudly still; Quickyi, O quickly ! Haste ! open window, open heart ! Quickly, O quickly! Ho ! morning-breeze, his herald, view, A pufi'd cheeked boy of rosy hue ; He sounds till all things stir and ring, For entrance to his master, Spring ; Quickly, 0 quickly! Haste ! open window, open heart! Quickly, O quickly! The brave knight, sunshine, now appears And breaks his way with golden spears ; While the soft flatterer, flower-breath, slinks Through narrowest crevices and chinks Quickly, O quickly! Haste ! open window, open heart! Quickly, O quickly ! Now sounds the onset Philomel : And hatk ! and hark ! an echo’s swell, An echo from my inmost breast, In in, sweet Spring-joy, welcome guest ! Quickly, 0 quickly! THE MAY-TREE. From “Bohemian Poems,” translated by A. il. VVratis- Jaw, London, 1849. A May-tree fair at Whitsuntide Was brought me by my lover, It was the fairest pine he could In all the grove discover. E’en as a fbh’s eye, the moon Doth in my chamber shine ; I see him from the window, and His feelings well divine. He at the window knocked, and “Grant, O, grant one kiss !” he cried, But like a little mouse beneath The coverlet I hide. Right eye above the coverlet Seems fast asleep to be, Left eye beneath the coverlet Laughs at him merrily. He calls again : not so the stag Thirsts for the cooling tide, Not so the bee that longing seeks For honey far and wide. But in my chamber ’twas as still As though a grave it were, Only the beating of my heart Betrayed that I was there. Long time lie knocked, long time hecalled, At length the suer went, His lovely voice though conquered me, And to the window sent. A little bit I raise it up, I think that he has tied— He catches me, he kisses me, Until my neck is red. far tljc jAnplr. FRESH AIR. Man acts strangely. Although a cur rent ot fresh air is the life of his verv lungs he seems indefatigable in the ex ercise ot his inventive powers to de prive himself of this heavenly blessing, lhus he carefully closes every cranny ot his bedchamber against its entrance, and he prefers that his lungs should re ceive the mixed effluvium from his cel lar and larder, and from a patent little modern aquarius in lieu of it. Why should man be so terrified at the ad mission ot night air into any of his apart ments l It is nature’s overflowing cur rent, and never carries the destroying angel with it. See how soundly the delicate little wren and tender robin sleep under its full and immediate in fluence, and how fresh, and vigorous, and joyous they rise amid the sur rounding dew-drops of the morning.— Although exposed all night to the air of heaven, their lungs are never out of order, and this we know by the daily repetition oi their song. Look at the newly-born hare, without any nest to go to. ft lives and thrives, and be comes strong and playful under the un mitigated inclemency of the falling dews of night. I have here a fine male turkey, full eight years old, and he has not passed a single night in shelter.— He roosts in a cherry tree, and always is in the priruest health throughout the year. Ihree dunghill fowls, preferring the cherry-tree to the warm perches in the hen-house, took up their airy quar ters with him early in October, and have never gone to any other roosting place. Ihe cow and the horse sleep safely on the cold damp ground, and the roebuck lies down to rest in the heather, on the dewy mountain top. I myself can sleep all night long, bare headed, under the full moon’s watery beams, without any fear of danger, and pass the day in wet shoes without catching cold. Coughs and colds are generally caught in the transition from an overheated room to a cold apart ment; but there would be no danger in this movement if ventilation were properly attended to—a precaution lit tle thought of now-a-days.— Water torC s Essays on Natural 11(story . Oak Necessary to Build One Ship. Lfy the report of the Commissioners of Land Revenue, it appears that a sev enty-four gun ship contains about 2.000 tons, which, at the rate of a load and a half a ton, would give .‘{,ooo loads of timber, and would require 2.000 trees of seventy-five years growth. It has also been calculated that, as not more than forty oaks, containing a load and a hall ot timber in each, can stand upon one acre, fifty acres are required to pro duce tne oaks necessary for every sev enty-four gun ship.—' Railway Maga zine.

By an engraving thus saturated with iodine particles to a film of starch spread on a glass surface, he thus ob tained, in iodine of starch, a perfect transcript of the original design. Extraordinary Discovery. —Prof. Von Grusselbach, of Stockholm, has very lately brought to a state of per fection the art of producing a torpor in the whole system, by the application of cold of different degrees of intensity, proceeding from a lesser to a greater, so as to cause the human body to be come perfectly torpid without perma nent injury to any organ or tissue of the frame. In this state they ma\ re main one hundred ora thousand years, and again, after a sleep of ages, be awakened to existence, as fresh and blooming as they were when first sunk into this frightful slumber.

TOO EXPENSIVE. In a neighbouring town, a few days ago, a bacchanalian from the country, expressing a determination to become a teetotaller, consulted a wag as to the mode of procedure, when he was jocu larly recommended to go to the office of (we wont't say the Whittle Dean) Water Company. When the rustic called, the clerks were seated at their desks, but the manager was absent.— Being anxious for information, he ask ed if many were joining now ? He was answered, “ Oh. yes.” He farther inquired, “Do you not tak’ a drap yourselves occasionally V “ What do you mean, sir f “ Now,” rejoined the would-be water votary, 44 tell me hon estly, do you not tak” a spark o’ whis ky ava l “ 44 Oh, certainly,” Mas the answer. ”1 was just thinkin* asrnuckle,” quoth he.

Saul ! I'll stick to the whisky yet ? ?aid he, emphatically ; and bolt ed out of the office. —English Paper. O ♦ > RAISING THE WIND—AND THE DUST. 44 We're out offunds,” sighed Digges. There was no denying this. But at this moment, a very respec tably clad personage, who was going down Broadway at New York speed, tipped his hat, and said, 44 Good morn ing, Mr. Digges.” When he said this, he was gone, but his words made a great impression on the mind of Bob. 44 Who’s that ?” he asked. “ Don t know his name; he belongs to my lodge ; a very clever fellow.” 44 our lodge ?” he echoed— 44 You are on Odd Fellow, then V 44 Yes.” 44 And a Son of Tempera nce ?” 44 Yes.” “And a Rechabite?” 44 Yes.” 44 And a United American mechanic?” 44 Yes.” Bob’s face grew radiant. “Are your dues paid up?” 44 Yes ; why do you ask ?” exclaimed Digges, astonished at the sudden de light of his friend. “ How much do these societies give to a sick brother?” 41 Some three and some four dollars a week.” “What proof do they require of his sickness ?” “ The certificate ofa respectable phy sician,” answered Digges. A pause ensued. Bob seemed run ning over with a superabundance of delight. “ And with these facts before you, my misguided Digges, you have per ished in the enjoyment of good health?” “ Never was sick a week in my life, only”—he paused; “only in the pock et.’’ Without another word, Bob took the arm of Digges w ithin his own, and led him into a neighboring oyster-cellar. Seated within the box, he closed the curtains, and said, in a tone of deep feeling: “ Digges, you really ought to take care of yourself! You now exhibit all the premonitory symptoms of a billions attack.” “ Eh!” cried Digges, jumping from his seat. “ Your skin is sallow, your tongue furred, aud your eye feverish. In an hour, my friend, you will be in bed, with a raging fever. By night you will be delirious. To-morrow vou will not %) be expected to live, and next week"— “Next week?” echoed Digges, be coming pale. “Next week,” resumed Bob, “you will—are you listening l you will draw at least twelve dollars from these so cieties. I will sign your certificate.— And as you will be sick a great many w'eeks, you will continue to draw twelve dollars per week for a considerable time. ; Digges, I pity you.” At these words the countenance of i Digges became overspread with a mild j resignation. He extended his hands, lie clutched Bob with a hearty grasp. “ It s a great deal of sickness to look forward to, but lam resigned. You see I am. By-the-by, Bob, 1 don't feel well. “Spose you go homo with me, and put me to bed ?” For twelve weeks Bob watched night and day by the bedside. Every one remarked his devotion. The commit tees of the various societies, who came with the “ weekly benefits’ for the sick brother, were delighted with Bob.— They spoke of the devotion of the young physician to their sick brother, in all their lodges and divisions. “Sit down, my friends,” Bob would remark, in a subdued voice, when a com SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. mittee appeared, “ our poor friend fails fast. He has been delirious all night. Speak low—the least noise disturbs him.” And then the committee would sit down in that darkened room, in the fourth story of a boarding-house, and gaze through the gloom upon the form of poor Digges. who was stretched upon a bed, his cadaverous face appearing above the edge of the coverlet. After a few moments they would leave, first placing in the hand of Bob the sum due his sick friend. And after the committee had left, and gone down stairs, Bob would give orders that his patient should not be disturbed. He would then approach the bed, address his patient in these words —“ Digges, my boy, will you take your toddy hot or cold ?” To which the patient. Hinging off the bedclothes, and jumping out of bed, would respond —i ll take it hot, Bob. — City Item. CA RIOSITIES WANTED. The brimstone from a “ rowing match.” The lungs from a “ seaman’s chest.

THE QUARTER’S REVENUE. The returns of the Revenue are now before us ; and to those who are fond of a puzzle, composed of the mystifica tion of an array of figures and facts, we can promise an hour's treat, in a con templation of the official document. — The best of it is, that it is a puzzle which never ends, for the Returns may be returned to again and again w ithout any solution of the mystery. We are happy to be told that the result is sat isfactory, though the balance is on the wrong side ; but we cannot very well understand what there is satisfactory in a reduction of income; and, when we come to details, tin* following is the result of all we can gather:— The Customs have decreased from a scarcity, we suppose, of customers, and there has been a tailing off in sugar. — the sweet tooth of John Bull having failed to exert its usual influence.— Grain and flour have also produced less, —so that the contents of the sack have sympathized with the saccharine. In the Excise there has been addition al consumption,—so that the depres sion complained of has not materially affected the spirits, and poverty has had its gin, if it has also had its bitters.— The Assessed Taxes seem to have been paid more promptly than usual, and the gatherer has no doubt had his pa tience less tried, and been able to keep himself and his rates more thoroughly collected. The Income-Tax seems to be in an undulating state, for one year it goes 44 up, up, up,” and another year it goes 44 down, down, down,” but forthe Quar ter just ended, we have returns that look like increased profits. There is a decrease of £BOOO in the Post-Office, which, if we may be allowed to adopt the usual mysterious style of analysing official statements, would show adi muni tion in letters amounting, when divi ded by 20, to a falling off of 30? and a fraction, on every letter of the alpha bet. Though the revenue has decreasd on the quarter, it has increased on the year, and so long as on a series of di minishing quarters we get an augment ed total, we suppose we have nothing to complain of. The revenue seems to have a good deal of the frothy buoy ancy of a pot of beer, which, though decidedly deficient in quantity, may be made, by a proper adjustment of a “head,” to wear the aspect of refresh ing redundancy. We have a word or two to say about the Income-Tax, which has taken a sud den start that may —or may not— be thus accounted for. Taking the whole in round numbers—and we will, for the sake of uniformity, use round numbers only—at 000,000,000, it is fair to conclude that every circle — of the nine we have embraced—is re covering from the crisis. Pro Omnibus Bibo. —The Ameri can Ambassador, on returning thanks for his health at the Mansion House, said on Faster Monday, that, “ When the loving cup went round, he drank for 22,000.000 of his country men.” The reports say, “Drunk with all the honours and really, after such a draught as that, we do not w onder at it. But suppose every Ambassador drank to the same extent, the Lord Mayor would have to provide drink for all the world ! A Mansion House dinner would be quite “an Exhibi tion of the Drinking Industry of all Nations.” My Sole’s in Arms.—A Letter from Sweden says that there is an order for the navy to be immediately put “ on a war footing.” We suppose that the sailors will all have to wear Bluchers or Wellingtons, which is our idea— lather a literal one perhaps—of a war footing. ♦ - The Coming Animal. —A Hippo potamus is waiting at Alexandria, to be shipped over to England. This will be the first visit ever paid tothiscoun by this noble and rare creature. — Ap arlmcnts have already been engaged tor him at the Zoological G aide ns, where an artist will wait upon him at the very earliest opportunity, with the view of taking his portrait. A ship has been put at the disposal of the I iippopotamus ; and the captain has received orders to pay him every possible attention, and to spare no ex pense in “going the entire animal.” The Rhinoceros lately has been very noisy, and has not slept for weeks. r J he keepers say there is more in this than meets the eye ; but for ourselves, we attribute it to a mean spirit of jealousy. The Rhinoceros is evidently afraid that the Hippopotamus will put his nose out of joint. What’s in a Name. —Among the visitors of rank, fashion, and distinc tion who “ assisted” at the re-entree of Sontag, at Her Majesty's Theatre last week, we find the name of Baron de Schertz. We must say that in the brilliant assemblage we observed no one that appeared to us as if he were really Baron or Barren of Schertz or Shirts, but perhaps, if there really was a case of the kind, the individual wore the collar of some order to hide the de ficiency. ■ ♦ Our Wives and our Little Ones. The Times, in an article deploring the want of gratuitous amusements for the people, intimates that there is at least one squalling baby, on an average, in every apartment of the National Gal lery. Our contemporary is unwilling to insist on the exclusion of babies, lest the effect should be to prevent the ad mission of those who carry the inter esting burdens, but it is gentlv stated that iheir squalls do not contribute much to a pleasant contemplation of the great masters. It is true that the great masters must frequently have at tention taken from them by the little masters and little misses in their pa rents’ arms, but perhaps a sort of ma chine like an umbrella-stand, might be placed at the doors, in which babies could be safely and snugly deposited. Each infant, with a ticket round its neck, might be claimed by the holder of a corresponding ticket given at the door, and the infants would, at all events, be safe against the risk that at tends umbrellas of being stolen. If the baby-stand is not approved of by the authorities, we should suggest the adop tion of baby-jumpers at the doors of our public exhibitions, and thus both parents and offspring could bo enjoy ing their full swing of pleasure at the same moment. Hlmrrllutnj. From the New Vork F.vening l’ost. GAME OF T\\ FNTY QVESTIONS. It is well known that the present gen eration of grown children is wiser than any former generation ever was, orany future generation ever will be; and that no doubt is the reason why we so rarely have recourse to such frivolous modes of amusing ourselves. But af ter all, let us not look down with un mitigated contempt upon our predeces sors. r lhe Cannings, Huskissons, and others, were really respectable individ uals iu their way ; and if they did play sometimes like our own little boys and girls, we should ascribe the fact to the general simplicity of the world, a quar ter of a century ago. When Mr. Rush, the American ambassador, dined with Mr. Planta in 1823, besides the two gentlemen mentioned, there xvas a good ly number present of the ctUbritts of that remote epoch, including various members of the government and of the corps diplomatique. In our day, with such a company, we should have stuck to our wine and politics; but hear Mr. Rush : — 44 Tt would not have been easy to assemble a company better fitted to make a dinner-party agreeable, or to have brought them together at a better moment. Parliament having justrisen, Mr. Canning, and hi s two collegues of the cabinet, Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Robinson, seemed like birds let out of a cage. There was much small-talk, some of it very sprightly. 44 Ten o’clock arriving, with little dis position to rise from the table, Mr. Can ning proposed that we should play ‘Twenty Questions.’ This was new to me and the other members of the dip lomatique corps present, though we had all been a good while in England. The game consisted in endeavours to find out your thoughts by asking twenty questions. The questions were to be put plainly, though in the alternative if desired; the answers to be also plain and direct. The object of your thoughts not to be an abstract idea, or anything so occult, or scientific, or technical, as not to be supposed to enter into the knowledge of the company, but some thing well known to the present day or to general history. It might be any name of renown, ancient or modern, man or woman ; or any work or me morial of art well known, but not a mere event —as a battle for instance. These were mentioned as among the general rules of the game, serving to denote its character. It was agreed that Mr. Canning, assisted by the chan cellor of the exchequer, who sat next to him, should put the questions; and that I, assisted by Lord Granville, who sat next to me, should give the an swers. Lord Granville and myself were consequently to have the thought or secret in common. And it was well understood that the discovery of it, if made, was to be the fair result of men tal inference from the questions and an swers, not of signs passing, or hocus po cus of any description. With these as the preliminaries, and the parties sit ting face to tace, on opposite sides of the table, we began the battle.” W e shall not give the details of the game, because these were published iu 1840 ; but this is the conclusion : “The whole number of questions being now exhausted, there was a dead pause. The interest had gone on increasing, as the game advanced, until, coming to the last question, it grew to be like neck and-neck at the close of a race. Mr. Canning was evidently under concern lest he should be foiled, as, by the law of the game, he would have been if he had not now solved the enigma, lie sat silent for a minute or two; then rolling his rich eye about, and with a countenance a little anxious, and in an accent by no means over-confident, he exclaimed, 4 I think it must be the wand of the Lord-high-steward!’ And it Mas even so.” Many of the company pres ent said that this was the only instance they had m itnessed of the secret having been preserved till the tM entieth ques tion—most games being finished in half the time. 44 Dining at the Mar quis of Stafford's,” Mr. Rush concludes, ‘•at a subsequent day, this pastime was spoken of and it was mentioned that Mr. Pitt and Mr. Wyndhatn were both fond of it. Lord Stafford said that the former had once succeeded in it, when the secret was the stone upon which Walworth, lord mayor of Lon don, stood M’hen he struck down Wat Tyler in Richard ll.’s time ; and his impresssion was, that Mr. Pitt had triumphed at an early stage of his ques tions.” A correspondence from Limerick gives us more in detail the present rules of the game, which, according to this authority, are shortly these : Two persons (usually a lady and gentleman) are chosen by the compa ny, who fix in private upon an article or subject. Two others are then chosen to endeavour to find out what the thought is ; and this is done by asking twenty questions as to its nature and qualities. A fifth person is usually se lected as umpire, who is made acquaint ed with the subject fixed on, and whose duty it isto see that all the answers shall be fair. These answers are not to be such as will be calculated to mislead ; although of course it will be observed that the wider they are from the mark, the more difficult will the guessing be rendered. The following game was played at our correspondent's house on a recent occasion, (during the queen’s visit to Ireland,) and it will afford a tail- illus tration of the nature and manner of the game:— Question. Does it belong to the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdom ? Answer. To all three. Q. Is it a manufactured article ? A. Always. Q. Is it in the room ? A. No. Q. Is it in this city ? A. No. Q. Is it useful, or morel v ornamen tal ? A. Useful. [Here the idea struck the question ers that it was a vehicle of some sort; they therefore asked] (/. Is it ever used as a conveyance? A. It is. [We then thought it might be a ship, or perhaps a balloon : so we inquired] Q. Is it used as a conveyance by air. earth, or water ? A. On the earth. [The locomotive now suggested it self. and we asked ] (J. What was the motive power? A. Various. [This did not lead us very far to wards a guess; but we determined to comic closer: so we queried] Q. Is fire ever used in connection with its motions ? A. On some occasions it is. [ We now became certain that it was connected with a railway, and the ques tion which followed was] Q. Has it a chimney ? A. No. Q. Have any of us seen it \ A. Do not know whether vou hav e or not. [We then began to suspect that it wa> in some way connected with the prevailing topic —the queen’s visit; and so we asked] Q. Is it in Ireland ? A. It is. [ We then thought it might be well to ask j Q. Is it used for a special purpose? A. Yes. [W e immediately concluded that it was the state railway carriage : but to make certain we inquired] Q. Has it any glass in it ? A. Yes. And at the fifteenth question—name ly, “ Has it soft seats ?” to which the answer was, “It has —-we guessed that it was the “ Royal State-Carriage of the Great Southern and Western Hail way,” which had been brought to Ire land on purpose for the accommodation of the queen. In concluding this memorandum, we may return, for an instant, to Mr. Plan ta's dinner, to remark that the game occupied upwards of an hour, during which not one drop of wine was drank!

CAUTlON.—Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil lott’s style ok Label, his mode of putting np his Pens, and also Designating Numbers, he desires to give the following NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’s Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the reverse side. None other are genuine. This caution espe cially refers to his original No. 303, the great ponularity of which has caused it to be imitated, and the number adopt ed by a host of prstendeb makers. Joseph Gii.lott would further advise the public that, in all cases win re his Numbers anil the phraseology of his Labels are adopted by the parties abov e alluded to, the Pens are not made bv him, although asserted to b°. An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to bring his Steel Pens to the highest state of perfec - tion, and the liberal patronage which he has long enjoyed at the hands of theAnierican public,will incite him to con tinued exertion to maintain the fa lor which he has ac quired.
