. H. & J. C. RANDLE have been re.

now prepared to offer at the lowc st market

Spring Mountain Lehigh,

Locust Mountain do.
Scranton do.
Council Ridge, (Pink fish)
Laurence (Red do.)

The Lehigh, Mammoth Vein, Locust Moun-
tain, Council Ridge and Trevertou Cools are
of lhefirsr class, and are acknowledged by
dealers to have no superior. For furnaces
and all stoves with strong droughts, the Le-
high-coals cannot be 'surpnssed, being hard,
enduring and-very pure. For; ordinary do-
mestic purposes. the Mammoth Vein, Locust
Mountain and Council Ridge Cools, stand,.un-
rivalled; burning more freely than the Le.-
high, making no clinker, and leaving less
ashes and slate than most any kind of Coal
known in the market.-
As to the Treverton, we can say to any
persons trying it, that if it, does not an-
swer the recommendation and prove entirely
satisfactory, we will take it back again if de-
sired, at our own expense, and refund the
money.

From the old woods dim and lonely
Comes a mean ;
There the winds are sighing only ;
‘ Summer’s gone X’
All the bright and sunny hours,
And the green and leafy bowers,
With the summer’s latest flowers,
Are faded now ;
And the brow
(lithe waning your
Has been twiued with dying leaves ;
And the gathering of the sheaves
Tells us sutumn’s here.
Now the winds go loudly moaning
Through the voles;
And the forest trees are groaning
Monrnful tales ‘
Of decays that swiftly gather,
0f the coming wintry weather,
Of the snow that like a feather
Soon will fall;
And the call
Of Death is slghlug '
Over all the rippling streams ;
And the summer’s lingering glesms
.Are sadly dying. '
”In the waning, waning twilight
0f the year
That hovers now all strangely bright,
Round us here ;
And soon will pass away, _
Like the light of an autumn day,
Adowu old winter’s dlm highway
To its tomb ;
And the gloom
0f the Silent Laud
Will rest on the bright years down ;
And the winds of time will moss
O’er the dreamloss baud !

Old Santa Claus’ Visit.
Awan, dear mammal and do some sad see
What Santa Claus left in my stocking for mo ;
I’ve a doll and a sofa, and many fine things ;
What beautiful presents old Santa Claus brings 1
There's a whip and a horse for dear Johny,an_d more
It moves like a lies one all worth floor ;
The eyes of my dolly, they shut and they open,
Much better you see, than the old one that’s broken.
Do, dearest momma, do wake upaad see!
How strange that on Christmas, you sleepy can be 1
And sissy pulled out from her own little stocking
A tiny bit chair all cushioned and rocking.
Last night, when old nursey had put us to bed,
And bid as “ good night" when our prayers were all
said,
I thought I would listen, for I wanted to hear
Old Santa Claus come with his tiny reindeer.
I tried very hard my eyes open to keep,
At the funny old man to steal a sly peep ;
So i looked at the chimney as hard as I could,
To watch till the fire had burned up the wood;
’ For I wondsrod, mamms, how it ever could be, -
. 1-‘rom the soot and the fire ko'd_keep the things free,
So I looked and looked and looked as hard as I could,
For nursey had told us if we "would be good,
He’d come down the chimney, assure us he came,
. And fill up each stocking, for. ho knows well the
' name ' -
Of every good ehlld sad the house where he lives,
And to all that he loves pretty presents ho-gives.

But it kept shutting up as fast as I’d try ;
Asd the first that I knew was Johay’s loud call :
“ Merry Christmas 1 dear sisters, dear aursoy and
all.”
Then I ran to my stocking as fast as could be,
And 1 found it filled up with nice things, as you see.
I am very sorry, indeed I am so i
For 1 wanted to see them all flash through the snow,
Little Dsshor and Dancer, and Praueor andVixon,
Little Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blixen.
0h l- nursey has told me such wonderful things,
Ofthe sleigh and the deer,and the presents he brings
0f old Santa Claus, too, and his funny fur1clothes—
His cherry red cheeks,’ and his pipe and red nose—
Whers he places his Inger, with a blink of his eyes, .
And away up the chlmney in a moment he lies.
Oh dear l don’t you think, when l’m older next

I had half an hour one day last week at

was; The pleasure began before reaching

a visit to Sunuyside is equal to a pilgrimage

The quaint, grotesque old dwelling with its
old-fashioned gables, stood as solemn and

to persecute old Rip Van Winkle at his lap.
The grounds were covered with brown and

He withdrew a year ago from all literary
labor. and is new spending the close of his life
in well-earned and long needed repose.
Mr. Irving is not so old-looking as one
would expect who knew hissge. I fancied
him as in the winter of life; I found him only
in its Indian summer. He came ' down stairs,
and walked through the ball into the back.
parlor, with a firm and lively step, that might
well have made one doubtwhethcr he had
truly attained his seventy-seventh year. He
was sufi‘eriug from asthma, and was mufiled
against the damp sirgwith a Scotch shawl,
wra’ppcd like a great loose scarf . around his
neck ; but as he took his seat in the old arm
chair, and, despite businesses and trosbled
cost, began an unexpectedly vivacious cou-
vorsation.he made me almost forget that I
was the guest of as old man long past his
“ three-score years and ten.”
But what should one talk about who had
Only half an hour withWashington Irving?
I ventured the question.
“ Now that you have laid aside your pen,
which of your books do you look back upon
with most pleasure?”
He immediately replied, “ I scarcely look
with full satisfaction upon any; for they do
not seem what they might have been; I often
wish that I could have twenty years more, to
take them down from the shelf, one by one,
and write them over.”
He spoke of his daily habits of writing, be-
fore he had made the resolutiou to write no
more. Bis usual. hours for literary work
were from morning til: noon. But,although
he had generally found his mind most vigor
one in early part of the day,he had always
been subject to moods and caprices, and could
never tell, when he took up the pen, how
many hours would pass before he would lay
it down.
“ But said he “ these capricious periods, of
the heat and glow of composition, have been
the happiest hours of my life. I have nev or
found, iu‘snything outside of the four walls
of my study, any enjoyment equal to sitting
at my writing-desk with s clean page, a new
theme, and a mind awake.”
His literary employments, he remarked,
had always been more like entertainments
than tasks. '
“ Some writers}? said he, " appear to have
been dependent of moods. Sir Walter Scott,
for instance. had great power of writing and
could work almost at any time; so could
Crabbe—but with this difference : Scott al-
ways, and Crabbe seldom wrote well: “ I
remember,” said he, “ taking breakfast one
morning with Rogers, Moore and Crabbe ; the
conversation turned on Lord Byron’s poetic
moods; Craebe said that. however it might be
with Lord Byron, as for himself he could
write as well one time as at another. " But”
said Irving, with e twinkle of humor at rev
calling the incident, " Crabbe has written a
great deal that nobody can read.”
He mentioned that while living in Paris he
went along period without being able to write
“ I sat down repeatedly,” said he, " with pen
and ink. but could invent nothing worth put-
ting on the paper, Atlen th, I told my friend
Tom Moormwho dropped n one morning,that
now. after long waiting. I had the mood. and
would hold it, and work it out as long unit
would last, until I had wrung my brain dry.
80 I began to write shortly after breakfast,und
continued, without noticing how the time
waspsssing, until Moore came in again at four
in the afternoon—when I had completely cov-
ered thotable with freshly-written sheets, I
kept the mood almost without interruption
for six weeks,”
I asked which of his books was the result
of this frenzy; he replied, “ Bracebridge
Hell.”
°‘ None of your works.” I remarked, " are
more charmisg than the Biography of Gold-
smith.”
“ Yet that was written, said he. "' even more
rapidly than the other.” He then added :
“ When 1 have been engaged on a continu-
ous work, I have often been obliged to rise
in the middle of the night, light my,lsmp,snd
write an hour or two, to relieve my mind;
and new that I write so more, lam sometimes
compelled to get up in the same way to read.”
Sometimes, also,us the last ldlswild letters
mentions, he gets up to shave!
“ When I was in Spain,” be remarked,
" searching the old chronicles and engaged
on the Life of Co umbus, I often wrote four-
teen or fifteen hours out of the tvIeuty-four."
He said that whenever he had forced his
mind unwillingly to work the product was
worthless, and he invariably threw it away
and began again ;“ for,” as e observed, “an
esssy'or chapter that has been only hammered
out is seldom good for anything. Au author’s.
right time to work is when his mind is aglow;
when his imagination is kindled; those are
his precious moments; let him wait until they
come. but when they have come let him make
the most of them.” '
I referred to his last and greatest work, the
Life of Washington, and asked if he felt, on
finishing it any such sensation as Gibbon is
of the Decline and Fall. He replied that the
whole work had engrossed his mind to such a
degree that, before he was aware. be bid writ-
ten himself into foebleness of health; that he
feared in the midst of his labor that it would
break him down before he could end it; that
when at last the final pa es were written, he
gave the manuscript to llll nephew to be con-
ducted through the press, and threw himself
back upon his red cushioned lounge with an
indescribable feeling of relief! He added
that the great fatigue of mind throughout the
whole task had resulted from the care and
pains required in the construction endor-
rangemeut of materials. and not in the mere
literary composition of the successive chap-
tors.

It was delightful to witness the animation
of his manner, and the heartiness of his grati

plied all his wants—gave him his medicines
at the right time, without troubling him to

fine weather walks—and in every possible
way bumored him in every possible whim.
‘ I call them sometimosmy neices,‘ he said,
‘ but oftener my daughters!’
As I rose to go, he brought from a corner
of the room a photograph of a little girl, ex-
gift from a little child who had come to see
him every day during his sickness. The pic-
ture was accompanied with a note, printed in
lurgeletters, with a lead pencil, by the little
correspondent, who said she was too young to
write! He spoke with great vivacity of his
childish visitor, “ Children,’ said the old
men, ‘ are great pets : I am very fond of the

a. The New York News says, in
noticing the tragic end of Senator Brod-
derick :
The day he left New York for Califor-
nia, in 1849, we met him on the steps of
the old banking house of the State of
New York. He had drawn his last dol-
lsr from that institution. He ssid‘to us
“ Good-bye, I’m off for the land of glory.”
“ Where are you going to, Dave ?” “To
California—metric return until 1 came
back a Senator of the United State: l”—
We laughed at this remark, considering
it the grandiioqueut boast of a reckless,
' desperate youth, who had as mach'idea
or chance of actually carrying it into ex-
ecution as he had of becoming King of
England. He said to us last winter—
“How strange it is that after fighting all
my life to become a Senator, I don’t care
a button for it. It has no chagms for
me ; what is it after all ; I am not hap-
py.” . Whats commentary are these re-
