BY I. T. TllovrSSlOOK.

The listening Uryada bushed Ihe WOIKIS; Ths bouzhs were thick, and thin and few The golden ribhona HulleriuK througb;

Their sun-embiolderi'd, leafy hoods Tbe lindens lifted to the blue:

Only a BlUe forrsl brook The tsr lbret hem of ullence ihook: When in the hollow nhades 1 heard— Waa i t a spirit, ur a bird? Or strayed from Kden, desolate. Some Peri calling to her male.

Whom nereruiure her mate would cbrer / "Pc-ri l Pe-r i ! Peer !"

To trace It in lla Ereen retreat I s o u hi among the boughs in rain, Aad followad still Ibc wandering straini

So malanoboly and so aweet Tbe dim-eyod riolets yearned with pain.

'Twaa now a sorrow in Uie air, Seme nymph'a immortalixed dee pair BaantiifK the woods and walertalla; And now at long, aad Interrala. Si l l i ly unseen in dusky shade, HUpu in t iTe pipe some fairy played.

With long-drawn cadence, thin and clear,— "Po-wee! Pe-wee! Peer!"

1 quit t h e search and aat me down Betide the brook, Irreaolute, And watched a Utile bird in suit

Of aober olire, soft and brown, Perohed in the maple branches mute :

Wilh greenish gold i ts res t waa fringed, l ie tiny cap was ebon-tinged. With ivory pale l is wings were barred And ita dark eyes were tender-starred. "Dear bird," I aald, "what ia thy name?" Aad thrioe tha moornfol anawer came,

So fe int and fa r and yet ao near, "Pe-wee! Pe-wee! Peer!"

Hast thou, too. In thy l i t t le breast. Strange longings for a happier lot. For love, for Bfe, thou know'il not what,

A yearning and a vague unrest. For eomething still wbioh thou hast not?

Thou soul of eome benighted child That perished, crying in the wild! Or lost, forlorn, and wandering maid, Br love aBnred, by love betrayed, Whoeeepint witli her lateet aigb Aroee, a Uttle winged cry,

Aboye her obill aod moeay bier! "Dear me! dear me! dear!"

Ah, ao inch piercing aorrow m a n The pewee a l ife of cheerful eaae! Healni |S or learea hia song lo seise

Aa ineeol sporting in the (sua Of mild, bright light that gilds Ihe treee.

A very poet he! For him AB pleasant plaoee sUII and d im; Bia heart, a apark ot heaTcnly fire, Bume with undying, eweet deeire: And ao he aingai and ao his song, Though beard not by the hurrying throng,

Is soltoe lo the pensire ear: "Pewee! pewee! peer!"

All we ask, is for our enemies (if we have any such) and our mends as well, to call and learn lor themselves the un-precedwited slaughter we have made in oor prices, for all grades of Dry Goods. W e must close ont our present stock so as to make room for our spring styles of Dry Goods, Clothing,

and we hereby notify our friends, and everyone, wishing to seenre the best bargains ever offered in Lowell We will prove our assertion true. We will sell every single article which he have in stock, at a sacrifice. Call a t the Boston Store, as the slaughter has com-menced, and satisfy yourselves of the truthfulness of this state-m«nt.
