ows
Glean the sweetly-scented hay.
Let your sickles shine like sunbeams
In the silver-flowing rye,
Ears grow heavy in the cornfields--
That will claim you by and by.
Go out, reapers, with your sickles,
Gather home the harvest store!
Little gleaners, laughing gleaners,
I shall go with you no more.

Round the red moon of October,
White and cold the eve-stars climb,
Birds are gone, and flowers are dying--
'Tis a lonesome, lonesome time,
Yellow leaves along the woodland
Surge to drifts--the elm bough sways,
Creaking at the homestead window
All the weary nights and days.
Dismally the rain is falling--
Very dismally and cold;
Close, within the village graveyard,
By a heap of freshest mould,
With a simple, nameless headstone,
Lies a low and narrow mound,
And the brow of Annie Clayville
Is no longer shadow-crowned.
Rest thee, lost one, rest thee calmly,
Glad to go where pain is o'er--
Where they say not, through the night-time,
"I am weary," any more.

MR. BOKER has a fine poem entitled "I have a Cottage," in the July
_Graham's Magazine_.

_The Fine Arts._

There have been new discoveries of sculptures in Athens. The foundations
of the old Council House were disclosed, and farther investigation led
to the discovery of very beautiful remains. They are mostly fragmentary,
but of the finest style. Especially an arm, with drapery, is very fine,
and as the investigations are not yet completed, it is hoped that other
parts of the statue may be obtained. More than sixty inscriptions have
been also revealed. They are mostly decrees in praise of and memorials
of honor to certain men. Some are of the Macedonian, others of the Roman
period. Mr. Pittakis, the long resident and famous Athenian antiquariae,
has been properly put at the head of the party of investigation. His
topographical knowledge of Athens is probably superior to that of any
other living man.
