and as he was saving up the plank he also COM

n ant 10 clothe our musings, we would dwell long and
,hrlngy upon the lessons taught so forcibly in the
I advent of sober-suited Autumn. Colby indeed must
Ne look upon nature and her changes, who does not
find luxury of sentiment in the contemplation of all
her seasons. All are but chords TO that instrument
which Yields IT'S tone to every breath of man, and Vi
Sates involuntary to every feeling of his breast In
Nc Spr;rg the fairy melody is made up of the un-
mingled warhling of rapture, the involuntary trs of
uanght fingers, the overfowings of that spring of
tadness which gave mythology her tabled fountains,
and from which issues all that claims the of mi
sic, short Of the voiceless harmony OF Heaven In
Summer it is mellowed into the harmony Of hope
The voice which mourned is heard in its rich
dapasons its glowing progressions are tempered to
the calmness Of matured desire its echoes
broken by the irregular responses of unutored pas
sion, and its deep and varying chime,
swell, and estuate, in infinite graduation.
Beautifully though sadly the reverse of these is the
style of Autunn's "unwritten music" The hope
of the glad Spring and the devotion of the ardent
Summer have been damped, but not to deaden a sin
Gle tone. The chords which played the breath
oil the affections are strained, hut not TO break The
mind is longer mighty organ, yielding its sounds
to the hand of man but becomes gentle Eoan
harp, catching its magic tones from every breath of
the Autumnal breeze. Plaintve and sweet as though
sound had caught charm from the beautiful hues of
decay they come upon the ear, blending into harmo-
ny such strains as no art can initiate, science
range no skill record. Such is the music of Autumn,
upon that deep toned glorious instrument-the heart
The grave comes heavily upon the thoughts of youth
They have not yet buried there the better part Of
their hearts, To the pilgrim who has farther advan-
ced on the highway of human disappontments, the
last home of man is a welcome theme. Lovely to
him, not only that it already holds his best hopes and
bis only charms that made the world fair amid all its
desolation, the grave,--the cold and dreary grave
sends up sweet and holy call to his weary and bro
ken spirit. All that speaks OF decay has charm to
him No marvel then that he woos the melancholy in
iuence of Autumn and breahes with untold delight
her signing breezes and settles unWearied gaze up
on her red and yellow forests. Let childhood hang
with enrapturing fondness the brilliant beauty OF
Springs first flowers but its little idols will wlther.-l
Let mature youth yield its full devotion to the fruitful
and fervent hopes of Summer yet they too shall pass
away. But who, that has ever relished the calm yet
passionate love of fading beauty. which steals upon
the unsubdued though softened spirit of whose
hopes have been like the summer cloud, will cling to
such feeting hues again. There is an Autumn in the
SOUL where all these images are mrrored deep and
indelibe. Even the winter of age, though il withers

Virginia Gold.--The Fredericksburg Herald states
that lump of this precious metal, intermixed with
considerable portion of quartz and particles of earth,
and weighing altogether about six ounces, was plough
ed up few days since on the farm of Mr. Haley, OF
Spotsyvania county. 1t was brought to Fredericks-
burg, and sold for eightyfve dollars.
The following article from the Raleigh Register an
nounces the discovery of Gold also in Wake countys
in North Carolina, $50 miles from the region in which
it was first discovered, and which has been found
abundant in that State
"Gold-In April last we visited the Gold region,
and we have ever since been confident that,
later the precious metal would be found in this
ty The similarity of soil, the abundance of flint
rock and soapstone, intermxed as it is with copper
and iron pyres, together with other indications, in
duced the opinion that there was Gold in Wake.
few days since, gentleman who is concerned in a
mine in Davidson county, discovered Gold in piece
of quartz, the plantation of Mrs Catharne Rhodes,
few miles west of this city. very handsome spec
linen is said also to have been found in the same
neighborhood on the land of Mr. John Rex. These
discoveries will doubtless lead to particular ex
