POETRY.

We.reccived from one of the brother-
hood, the following lines by way of re-
sponse to those which appeared in our last.

OLD AND NEW TIMES.

When my good mother was a girl-
Say thirty years ago—- _

Young liidiea then knew how to knit
As well as how so sew.

Young ladies then could spin and weave,
Could bake, and brew and sweep: _
Could sing and play, could dance and paint:

And could a secret keep.

Young ladies then were beautiful
As any ladies now-—

Yet they could rake the new-mown hay,
Or milk the “brindle cow."

Young ladies then wore honnets, too,
And with them their own hair;

They made them from their own good straw,
And pretty, too, they were.

Young ladies then were gowns with sleeves
Which would just hold their arms ;

And did not have as many yards
As acres in their farms.

Young ladies then oft fell in love,
And married, too, the men ;

While men, with willing heart: and true,
Loved them all back again.

Young ladies now can knit and sew,
And read a pretty book-

Can sing, and paint, and joke and quiz,
But cannot hear to cook,

Young ladies now can blythly spin
Of"'street yarn" many a spool:

Andi weave a web of scandal too,
And dye it in the wool.

Young ladies now can bake their hair ;
Can brew their own cologne ;

In borrowed plumage often shine,
While they neglect their own.

And as to secrets, who could think
Fidelity a pearl?

None but a modest little miss,
Perchance a country girl.

Young ladies now wear lovely curls,
What pity they should buy them;

And then their bonnets--heavens ! they fright
The beau that ventures nigh them.

E'en love is changed from what it was,
Although true love is known ;

‘Tie wealth adds lustre to the cheek,
And melts the heart of stone.

Thus Time works wonders--young and old
Confess his magic power ;

Beauty will fade; but Virtue proves
Pure gold in nian’s last hour.

The followinglines were extracted from
I paper printed in 1803. The state of
the weather of the 20th ult. makes them
applicable to the present season. '

This is January twenty,

When we should have sleighing plenty.
I am tired—altogether—

Of such sour, unpleasant weather :
Easy 'tis to rain and blow-

Why is it so hard to snow .?

See the Farmer, wet and weary,
Stalking o'er the plain so dreary ;
Oft he upwards turnsbis peepers,
Blinking like a chimney sweeper’s ;
Oft he cries, enraged with woe,
“Why in nature don't it snow !”

See the Merchant, sorry fellow,
With a face as pale as tallow ;

Sick with grief, and quite heridden,
All because there is no sleddin' ;
Hear him cry, in accents low,

"0, ye gods! why don't it snow !"
See the chop.fall’n Tavern keeper,
Voluntarily a weeper!

See his bar-room, once’ so cheery,
Now forsaken, cold and dreary ;
Hear him cry, in spirits low,

"0. what luck ! why don’t it snow !”
Hear the sage Prognosticator,

Blame the slippery tricks of nature :
She so all his judgment bothers

That he knows no more than others :
Hear him roar, with wrinkled brow,
"Bless my stare why don't it snow !”
Folks in every rank and station,

Join in fretful exclamation ;

Tailors, tinkers, persons, pedlers,
Teamsters, savvyers, smiths and fidlers,
Rich and poor, high and low,

Join the cry, "why don't it snow P”
For myself—-though pressed with sorrow,
Still in hopes ’twill§snow to-marrow,
To be patient I endeavor;

Faith such times can't last forever ;
Hear the stormy south-east blow-

._ ,_M_ay it waft us hills of snow I

0! ye gbds who ruin the Weatiier—“-
Neptune, Jove, or both to gether-
Lend for once an ear propitious ;

Hear our prayer and g§nt our wishes ;
Down your frosty blessings throw-
Cover, smother us, in snow !

MISCELLAN Y.

BCENERY IN THE HIGHLANDS
ON THE RIVER HUDSON.

In the second day of the voyage they
came to the High-lands. It was the
latter part of a calm,sultry day,that they
floated gently with the tide between these
stern mountains. ’There was that per.
foot quiet, which prevails over nature
inthelanguor of summer heat; the turning
of a. plank, or the accidental falling of
an our on deck, was echoed from the
mountain side, and reverherated along
the shores ; and if by chance the captain
gave a shout of command, there were
airy’ tongues that mocked it from every
cliff. '-

Dolpb gazed about him in mute de-
light and wonder at these scenes of na-
tures magnificenee. To the left the Don-
derburg reared its woody precipices,
heightover height, forest over forests a-
way into deep summer sky. To the
right strutted forth the bold promontory
of Antony’s‘Nose, with a solitary eagle
wheeling about it; while beyond,mountain
succeeded to mountain, until they seem-
ed to look their arms together, and ‘con-

fine this ‘mighty river in their embraces.
'l’bere_was e feelingof quiet luxury in

-tvithtlie last rosy rays of the sun.

- gazing at the broad, green bosoms here
and there scooped out among the. preci-
piccs ; or at woodlands high in air, nod-
ding over the edge of some beetliugbluff,
and their foliage all transparent iii the
yellow‘ su ushi no.

In the midst of his admiration,-Dolpli
remarked a pile of bright snowy, clouds
peering above the western heights. It
_ was succeeded by another, and another,
each seemingly pushing onward its pred-
ecessor, and toiveriiig, with (lnzzliiig
brilliancy, in the deep blue atmosphere :
and now muttering peuls ofthundcr were
faintly heard rolling bcliiiid the moun-
tains. ’ The river, liitlicrto still and glas-
sy, reflectirig Vpictiires of the sky and
[and now showed a dark ripple at a
distance, as the breeze come crcop
ing up it. The fish hawks whet-.lcd
nnil screamed, and sought their nests on
the high dry trees ; the crows flew (‘lain-
orously to the crevices of the rocks,
and all nature seemed conscious of the
approaching tliundcr-gust.

" The clouds nuw rollcrl in volumes 0-
ver the mountain tops ; their summits still
bright and snowy, but the lower parts of
an iiikybluckness. The rain begun to pat-
ter down in broad and scattered drops;
the wind frcshencd, and curled up the
waves ; at length it seemed as if the bel-
lying clouds were torn open by the
mountain tops, and complete torrents of
rain came rattling down. The lightning
leaped from clould to cloud, and stream
ed quivering against the rocks, splitting
and rcnding the stoutcst forest trees. -
Tho thunder burst in trcmenduous ex-
plosions ; the penis were echoed from
mountain to mountain ; they crashed up-
on Dunderburg, and then rolled up the
long defile of the Highlands, eacli bead-
land making a new echo, until old Bull
Hill seemed to bellow back the s'.oi'iii.
For atime, the scudding r{ic'< and mist,
and the sheeted rain,almost hid the l.'~.nrl-
scape from the sight. There was a fear-
ful gloom, illumined still more fearfully
by the streams of lightning, which glit-
tered among the rain drops. Never had
Dolph beheld such an absolute warring
ofthe elements; it seemed as iftlie storm
was tearing and rending its Wiy through
this mountain defile, and had brought
all the artillery of heaven into action.
The vessel was liurriiad on by the in-‘
creasing wind, until she came to were
the river makes a sudden bend, the only
one in the whole course of its majestic
career. Just as they turned the point,
a violent flaw of wind came sweeping
down a mountain gully, bending the for--
est before it, and, in a moment, lashing
up the river into white froth and foam. —
The captain saw the danger, and cried
out to lower the sail.‘ Before the order
could be obcycd,the flaw struck the sloop,
and threw her on licrbeams end. Every
thing was now fright and confusion : the
flapping ofthe sails,the whistling &. rush-
ing of the wind,the bowling ofthe captain
and crew, the shrieking ofthe passengers,
all mingled with the rolling‘ and bellow-
ing of the thunder. In the midst of the
uproar the the sloop rig-bted ; at the same
time the mainsail shifted, the boom came
sweeping the quarter deck, and Dolph,
who was gazing unguardedly at the
clouds, found bimself, in a moment,
floundering in the river.

For once in his life, one of his idle
accomplishments was of use to him.-
The many traunt hours which he had
devoted to sporting in the Hudson had
made him an expert swimmer ; yet, with
all his strength and skill, he found great
diflicultyin rcachingthe shore. His dis-
appearance from the deck" had not been
noticed by the crew, who were all occu-
pied with their own danger. The sloop
was driven along with inconceivable ra-
pidity. She had hard work to weather
a long promontory on the eastern shore,
round which the river turned, and which
completely shut her from Dolpli’s view.
It was on a point of the western shore
that he landed, and scrambling up the
rocks, he threw liimself,faint and exhaus-
ted,.at the foot of a tree. By degrees
thc_ thunder-gust passed over. The
clouds rolled away to the cast, Where
they lay piled in feathery masses, tinted
‘ The
distant play ofthe lightning might be still
seen about their dark bases, and now
and then might be heard the faint mut-
tering of the thunder. Dolph rose, and
sought about to see if any path led from
the shore,but all was savage and track-
less. The rocks were piled upon each
other ; great trunks of trees lay shattered
about, as they had blown down by the
strong winds which draw through these
mountains, or had fell through age.-
Tlie rocks, too, were overhung with
wild vines and briers, which completely
matted themselves together, & opposed a
barrier to all ingress ; every movement that
he made shook down ashower from the
foliage. He attemptcd_to scale one of
these almost perpendicular heights ; but,
though strong and agile, he found it an
Herculean undertaking. Often he was
supported merely by crumbling projec-
tions of the rock, and sometimes he
clung to roots and branches of trees, and
hung almost suspended in the air. The
wood-pigeon came cleaving his whistling
flight by him, and the eagle screamed
from the brow ofthe impending clifi'.—-
Ashe was thus clambering, he was on
the point ofseizing hold of a shrub to
aid his ascent, when something rustled
among the leaves, and he saw a snake
quivering along like lightning, almost
from under his hand. It coiled iteslfup
immediately, in an attitude of defiance,
with flattened head, distended jaws, and

quickly vibrating tongue, that played like

a little flame about its mouth. Dolph’;
heart turned faint within him, and he had
well nigh let go his bold, and tumbled

down the precipice. The serpent stood
on the defensive but for an instant ; it
was an instinctive movement of de-
fence ; and, finding there was no attack,
it glided away into a cleft of the rock.-—
Dolpli’s eye 11 lfowed it with fearful in-
tensity ; and he saw at a glance that he
was in the vicinity of a nest of adders,
that. lay knotted, and writliiiig, and his-
singin the chasm. llc hastened with
nlllspeed to escape from so friglitful a
neigliborliood. His imagination was
full of this new horror; he saw an ad-
der in every Clll'lll'lg vine, and heard the
rail ofof o rattle-snzikc in every dry leaf
that rustlcd. ’

then called another boy and set him off"
on the some errand under the same re’-
strictions and with the same promises;
then another and another still, till be had
at least twenty expresses, each a few
rods apart. ‘Now as the tailor sat on his
bench, with his legs akimbo hummig the
the good old song of
“Hurrah for the cabbage. Hurrah !"

in come tliefirst boy with his “Uncle Bill
N wants to know if you’ll come
up to his house at six o’clock,”---barely
waiting to get the words out, ere he set
off on his return, as the least delay might
nullify his title to any more apples. But
be had scarce left the door-step, wlicii
in came another and another. In vain
the man of fashions endeavored to make
some explanation; no, Uuclel Bill had

pice that overlooked 21 deep ravine fringed
with trees, his feet dctaclied a great frag

through the tree tops, down into the
chasm. A loud whoop, or rather aye-ll,‘
issued from the bottom of the glen ; the l
moment after there was the report of a,
gun ; and a ball conic whistling over his -
bend, ci.itt.in,r_v tlietwigs and leaves, and
burying itsclfdeep in the bark ofa chest-
nut tree.

Dolph did not wait for a second shot,
but made a precipitate retreat; fearing
every moment to bear the cnciny in pur-
suit. He succeeded, liowevcr,iii return-
ing unmolcsted to the shore, and deter~
inined to pc:ic.ti'.ilc no fzirtlicr into a coun-
try so besct with savage perils.

He sat himsclfdown, dripping discon-
sclatcly, on :1 wet stone. Vvllllt was to
he done? VVlicrc was he to shelter liim-

self? The hour of repose was approach-
ing ; the birds were seeking their nests,

the bat begun to flit about in thetwilight,
and the night hawk, soaring high in the
lieaven,scemcd to be calling out the stars.
Night gradually closed in, and wrapped
every thing in gloom : and though it was
the Litter-part of summer, yet the breeze,
stealing along the river, and among these‘
dripping forests, was chilly and penetra-
ting, especially to a li_alf-drowned man.

I:HNC'l‘UAL.TiT‘{.
“List, while I read the a Lesson.”

Uncle Bill, as they used to call him,

who lived in ‘Woodcnd,was a plain mat-

ter-of—i’-act old codger, who always on-

deavored to do about right in olldealings

with his neighbors. But one very esti-

mable virtue he possessed inn rare degree,

viz: punctuality in the fulfilment ofcn-

gagements. If he promised you a “jug”

of, wood, at such an hour, the clock

would be striking while he was unload-

ing ; ifhe agreed to do a thing ilius and

thus it was done thus and thus, and that

it was done thus and thus, was sufiicicnt

proof to all the neighbors round that he

had aggrccd to do it thus and thus,--such

a weight of character had be attaided.——
No “fearfulforeb9dings” ever influenced

him to break orpostponc an engagement.

Always punctual himself, be admired
punctuality in those with whom he had

to do; and when be dealt with one not
like unto himself in this particular, (and

it is a thousand pities there are so many

cfthat stamp among us,) they were pret-

ty sure to get the joke upon tlimselves,

if there were ajoke in the matter; but let

us cite an instance to the point.

Uncle Bill once employed one of the

down town tailors to manufacture a suit

of grey. “now” said lie, while he was

being measured, “I Want them on Thurs-

day evening-—will you promise to have

them done 'l” “Yes, Sir,” uuliesitatingly

replied the knight of the shears——wheth-

or with any mental reservation or not we

cannot say, but the truth was not in him

ifevery thing was expi'esscd,'fo’r' Uncle

Bill called that evening, and there was

so much finisliing to do that he could not

have them till the succeeding afternoon.

This was a sore disappointmcnt——ncver-

theless, after giving the tailor a concise

lecture on punctuality in the fufilment of
promises, forcibly depicting in his plain

style, the advantages :1 tradesman whose

word can always be depended upon pos-

sesses tover those promising ones with

whom he fulfilment is a matter ofsecon-

dary consideration, he departed.

On Friday afternoon, as Uncle Bill's

son Bob came round from-the mill,be call-

ed at the tailor’s for his daddy’sneW cloths,

but there was yet a considerable finish-

ing to be done to them,’ and he was re-

quested to ask his father to have patience

till the next morning. When this was re-

ported to the old man his wrath-kindled

and he vocifcrated, with considerable
warmth—-“Plague take the tailor?” He
immediately slipped on his great coat,
proceeded straigbtway to the applebarrel

and filled his capacious pockets with the
contents thereof. Going out, he found‘
the boysjust dismissed from school. He
called one to him and giving him an up-
ple or two, sent him oil" in haste for the
tailor’s shop, which by the nearest route
was at least a mile an :1 half distant, to
_request the tailor to come up to his house
at six o’clock--charging the boy to say
nothing about his errand to any one,
and promising him , more apples if he
would return within such a time. He

bare headed and bear backed, with his
shirt sleeves rolled up for Uncle Bill’s.
Before he got half way, it bcgzin to rain
heavily, but he did not heed this tliougli
be soon had ii-~t a dry thread about him.
He rushed into the house with all
the fairy of a maniac, and fell flat upon
the floor; he jumped up agniii frothiiig
at the mouth, cxclainiing with extraor-
dinary cinphasis---“lleavens and earth,
Un:le Bill, what do you want of me 3”
“O,” said Uncle Bill, calmly, as he stood
with his hands in his pockets, “I only
wanted to inquire when you thought it
would be likcy that you could make it
convenient to finish mv clothes?”

Bmieflts ofgoing to La2c.—-It is asser-
ted that the inhabitants of Inniskea are
prone to litigation ; and a curious legend
ofa lawsuit is told,-upon the main illustra-
tive of this their qll{1l'l'ClS()m(3 disposition
A century ago two persons were remarka-
ble here for their superior opulence, and
had become the envy and wonder oftlieir
poorer iiciglibors. 'i'heii' wealth consis-
ted ofa flock of sliccp, when unfor*.iin-
atcly, some trifling dispute ocurred be-
tween them, a dissolution of parriiership
was resolved upon. To divide the flock
one would suppose, was not difiic'.ilt, and
they proceeded to partition the property
accorclingly. They possessed one liuii-
dred ond one sheep; fifty fell to each
proprietor, but the odd one-——liow was
it to be disposed of? Neither would part
with his moiety to the other, and after a
long and angry negociation the sheep
was left in common property between
them. ltliongli the season had not
come round when sheep are usually
sliorn, one of the proprietors required
wool for apair of stockings, proposed
the fleece should be taken off. This
was csisted by his Cl)-p:lI‘l.'llCl', and
the point was finally settled by shearing
one side ofthe animal.

Only a few days after, the sheep was
found dead in a deep ditch: one party
ascribed the accident to the cold feelings
of the animal having urged him to seek
a shelter in the flital trench : while the
other contended, that the wool remain-
ingupon one side had caused the sheep
to lose its equilibrium, and that thus the
melancholy catastrophe was occasioned.
The parties went to law directly, and the
expenses ofthe suitjactully devoured their
entire stock, and reduced them to a state
of beggary. Their descendants are
pointed out to this day as being the poor-
est of the community, and litigents are
frequently warned to avoid the fate of
“lllalley and Malone.” '
