WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANG. By Bret Harte. Over the chimney the night wind sang', And chanted a melody no one luiew ; And the woman stepped as the habo she tossed, And thought of the one she had Ion? since lost, And said, as her tear drops hack she forced, "I hate the voice in the chimney." Over the chimney the night wind sang, And chanted a, melody no one knew ; And the children said; as they closer drew, . " 'Tis some witch that is cleaving the black night through— 'Tis a fairy trumpet that just btoy, And we" fear the wind in the chimney." ■ Over the chimney the, night wind sang, • And chanted a melody no one knew ; And the man, as he sat oil his hearth below, Said to himself, " It will surely snow, And fuel is dear, and wages low, And I'll stop tho leak in the chimney." Over the chimney the night wind sang, .. . ; And chanted a melody no one knew ; ■ But the poet listened and smiled, for he ~ ; Was man, and woman, and child, all three; ■ And he said, " It is God's own harmony, This wind that sings in the chimney." • Loud Castleueagh as an Okatok.— " Lord Casllereagh was an obscure orator, garnishing his speeches ■with, confused metaphors. He took three-quarters of an hour in telling the House of' Commons that he did not mean to make any motion on the Treaties of Vienna, but that any private member was at liberty to do ?o. On another occasion he had gone on speaking upon a subject which no one could guess, when of a sudden he exclaimed, ' So much, Mr Speaker, for the laws of nation's.' On another occasion, when he had spoken for an hour tediously and confusedly, he declared, 'I have now proved that the Tower of London is a common law principle.' Of Spain he declared, that 'the pendulum had swung so far on the side of Jacobinism that it afterwards swung quite as far on the side of anti-Jacobinism, which had prevented its settling in a middle point.,' Every one has heard of his exhortations to the country gentlemen not to turn their backs on themselves."—Recollections and Suggestions, by Earl Russell. . ____; Wanted WANTED, a" Bough Carpenter, for a Small Job.
