Pale falling leaf! why art thou torn.

Why fades away they emeral hue
And droopest thou at noon?
Canst thou not keep thy tinge so gay.
With all its gorgeous sheen,
Nor yield unto Autumn blast,
Which strips thee Off greeag
October leaf! thy hue hath fed
No more hy.bloom shall rear,
For, curst by DEATHS enapoisoned BREATH
Thy color now is sere
October leaf! not thee alone
Would linger still to life;--
Fornian doth wrastle too with death,
In short but idle strife.

Autumn has come again, and with its fall
ing leaves and fading flowers shadows forth
a type of human life. Summer is gone, and
the winds as they-moan gently through the
rustling leaves, breath a melancholy dirge
DER the departed season. Peace be with
thee departed summer, thou hast left many
and mementoes Many noble heart has
thou crushed, and upon many a fair brow
thou hast set thy seal. of sorrow, but peace
be with thee and thine. thou hast dealt kind
Iy with US and we part inpeace. And thou
gentle Autumn. thou season of the rustling
wind and falling leaf, how shall we bid
thee welcome? We love thee, Autumn, we
love thy sombre brow aud melancholy as
pect, and when the flowers fade and the
leaves fall, we love to steal out into the
woods, and while listining to the winds as
they sigh through the trees, whose leaaes
branches, IN our boyish fancy we once
deemed reached the very FeaEens-dream
away the cares and anxieties. Of life. Au-
tuml! riahtgIad are we to welcome thee,
and though thou bringest usone step nearer
TO that goal 10 which we are all travelling,
still we erect thee Is an old friend with
whom We have sailed the sea of life many
seasons and such We greet thee now.

cut from the 9Vergennes Vemonter," pa
per published on the Green Mountain,
where this is truly melancholy season.
When the first of Autumn has entwined its
yellow wreath around those peaks of, living
green that lift their lofty tops high into the
airy tides; when those laberuthine Wales,
with their thousands Of outrageous groves,
are stript Of their verdant mantle, and bur-
led beno1th tide Of yellow and crimson
leaves that, struck downby Autum's sereing
breath, come rushing from surrounding
heights; when the gentle zephyrs have ia
ken their fight TO some southern cline, and
shrill EoIus breath his nournfnl dirge over
those heayen-kissing hills-then, then, in
decd, it is a melancholy season.

The parking steps, methiHks hear
Steal from the world away,
Along the sunset skies
Their gIofies netins hades
And Ike the things We fondly prizes

A deep and crimson streak,
The dying leaves disclose;
As on Consumption's waning cheek,

Thy scar each vision brings,
OF beauty in decay;
OF fair and early faded things,
Too exquisite to stay;
OF Joys that come no more;
OF flowers whose bloom il fled;

OF friends estranged, oFdeadi
Of all thatnow may seem,

J UST SENTIIENTS.

We have never seen il satisfactorily
accounted for tina, in this as well as other
countries female labor should be SO little
worth. We cen easily understand that,
owing to their want Of bodily strength,
women are not so available for some of
the heavier descriptions of work as men
are, and that therefore they cannot be
employed IN particular WAYS, but when,
ever their physical strength is sufficient,
the work OF females is certainly as vaIu-
able as that of males, and should be re-
warded by similar compensation. We
VIII even go further and say that in mines
teen cases out OF twenty, women will do
more work at light lanor than men, taxi
ing continued sPason Of exertion.
ihey are more constant, more enduring,
more patient, and less liable TO be drawn
OIL by external causes. II we be right
i'll these opinions, the disparity of COM
pensatioD which exists should no longer
prevail, and women should be allowed
to receive the value OF their labor, be the
