There is nothing more beautiful and toucheg in the whole range of .English poetic
erature than the followingli3oin the pen ,of
Ada,h Isaacs Menke'',;
INFELIX.
Where is the prornise of my years,
Once writteia on my brow ?
Ere errors, agonies, and fears
Brought witli all that speaksiu teats,
Ere I had sunk beneath my peers;
Where sleeps that promise now 7
Naught lingers to redeem those hours,
Still, still to memorysweet ?.
The flowers that bloom in punny bowers
Are withered all, and. evil [towers
-
Supreme above her sister powers
Of Sorrow aid. Deceit.
I look along the columned years,
And see Life's riven lane,
Just when it fell, amid the jeers
Of scornful lips, whose mocking sneers
' Forever hiss within my ears,
To break the sleep of pain.
I can but own my life in vain.
A. desert void of peace; ,
1 inissed the gaol I sought to gain,
I missed the measure of the strain
That lulls Fame's fever on the brain,
And bids Earth's tuntelt °ease.
Myself ! alas for them e Opooa
A thexne but rich in. few ;
I stand a wreck Ion Error's shore
A spectre not w4hin the door,
A houeeless-shadow evermore;
An exile lingering here.

Advices from all' parts of the West in-
form us that the general move of this
year's crops to market has begun
Very seldom has this moveMent been
so late in eommencing ; .but the fact is,
it could not be helped, for. the season
was not; only a backward one, but the
harvest has ben soliulky in many sec-
tions, that the. farmers have barely fin-
ished it, and got their fall wheat in,
even yet. Not more than . two weeks
ago, el'Ops could be .seen standing out
in the' fields in not a few.' .Western
Coupties, and -many were at a loss to
julOW how they were going to do jus-
tice to their fall ploughing. During
last week many of the disticict Agricul-
tural Exhibitions were held, and from
-then till the bad roads -about the end
of ,November -the sales of barley,
wheat., oats and other grains, will be
exceedingly large, large as they other-
wise would bee That is the low price
going for pease and barley. The writer
his heard a good deal grumbling .from
farmers on this score, and thousands of
them will bold back- a portion of their
crop for higher prices. which they hope
they may get later in the fall, or early
in the spring. R coes herd for a farm-
er who has received as high $L75 for
wheat, and $1.3D for barl- y, to sell the
former fur less than $1 per bushel,
tud the latter 'for about 65c. But a
arge crop and, moderate priceoften
.
go together; and our .friends.of the
;lough. will just have to make the most
f it. Thr y have certainty little to'
omplain of this year, for Providence
las given theirlabor, in many cases, a
loubie reward.Some improvement
has already beeshown- in busi-
ness, .and at the -rate the crops are now
being tu ened iuto eesh, the improvement
must soon. augment considerably. The
Banks are treating liberally With mil-
,lers mid -prod ta0e -dealers, and there is
-no lack/of the needful wih which to
buy produce. In fact, it is felt on all
hands that, the excellency ofthe harvest
must render the present a prosperous
fall and winter andthat business of all
kinds will be on a safer basis than
usual Then»-oof o' the puddin' is the
eatiti," but we- agree with the Yiew that
he business prosPeet is more cheering
than for some :tikne past.e-Trade Re-
view.

The True Ehanarook
Antiquarians abroad are much exer-
cised at present as. to what phint is the
Irish -Shamrock. Many think that it
is the Tnfolium repen.s, or common.
with clover; others think that it is
Tritolzummilms, or small yellow clov-
er; while others think, and with much -
probability ; that it -wes not a species
of clover at all, but the Oxtdis aeestos3-
ella, or. Wood Sorrel. The antiquariani
argue that in the dip of St. Patrick.
Ireland was -very thickly wooded, and
that as this plant grows very abun-
dantly iu wcods, it -was doubtless very
plentiful in Ireland, and would readily
be used by St. Patrick to. iliustrate the
doctrine of the Trinity to his hearers ;
and besides, it is notcertain but the
two species of clover above mentioned
are of comparatively recent introduc-
tion to tbat country.
The Irish -themselves do not appear -
to have an -decided 'tradition as to
what plant is the correct one ; aed as
it is quite a vexed question, which can-
not possibly be splved at this tday, the
antiquarians -are therefore the more ex-
-ercised about it.
