 When Man.on young lads OCT the river skde, ! And Flora attends Ns no more;

 When !D plenty you sit by good freside, ... That's the time to remember the pOcr.

 When the cold eatherd snow shall in plenty descend VT; And whiten the prospect around;

 When the keen cutting winds from the north slaH at Hard chilling and freezing the ground

 When the hills and the daies are all candied witt white, ...' 'Ni t.Aat ICl'

 When in danger the travellers go;

 And the meadows are hid by the proud swelling flood And the bridges are useful no more; ..... When m health you enjoy every thing that is good, That's the time to remember the poor

 Valentine, on having his bed pointed out to him, darted between the sheets in the space of a minute, for as MT. Beagle facetiously observed, he had but to shake himself and every thing came off; when, as he did not by any means feel drowsy at the time. he fancied he might amuse his companion for an hour or so as not. He therefore turned the thing seriously over in his mind, while Mr. Beagle wns qsietly undressing, being anxious for that gentle man extinguish the light, before he commenced operations. .' ..'

 And MT.

Beagle with the conviction of its being the disturber of his peace in the act of decamp- ing, when he threw the pillow very ener- gelically towards the door, which he clos ed, and tben returned 10 his bed in tri- umph. The moment. however, he had comfortably tucked himself up again, he missed the pillow he had converted into an instrument of vengeance. and as thai vas an article without which hs cOsld not even hope to go to sleep, be had, of course, ro tuTB out and fetch 1t.
