POETRY.
Autumn.

IT'S an autumnal eve-the low Winds signing
To wet, leaves rustng they hasten by;
The cddying gusts to tossing waves replying,
And ebon darkness filling all the sky;
The moon, pale mistress, palled in solemn vapor,
The rack, swift, wandering through the void above,
As I, dreamer by my lonely taper
Send back to faded hours the plant of love.
Blossoms of peace, once nmy pathway sprnging,
Where have your brightness and your splendor gone
And Thou, whose voice sweet to singing,
What region holds thee, in the vast UnhnOp"?
What star far brighter than the rest contains thee
Beloved, departed-empress of my heart!
What bond offull beatude enchans thee,
In realms unveiled by pen, or prophets ar''
All loved and lost in these autumnal houfs'
When fairy colors deck the painted tree,
When the vast woodlands seem a of flowers,
OH then my soul, exulting, bounds to thee!
Spring, as to clasp thee yet in this existence,
Yet to behold thee at my lonely sides
But the fond vision mes at once 10 distance,
And nv sad heart gives echo-she has diad
Yet! when the morning of her years was brightest,
That angel-presence into dust went down;
While yet with rosy dreams her rest was lightest,
Death for the Olives wove the cypress crown;
Sleep which waking knows, o'came her bosom,
Spared in her bower connubial one fair blossom
They bore her spirit to the upper skies.
There let me meet her, when, lifes struggles over,
The pure in love and thought their faith renew;
Where Earth forgivng and redeemng lover
Spreads out his paradise to every view
Let the dim Autumn, with its leaves descending,
Howl on the waters verge-yet Spring will come
So feed my soul, no more gafnst fate contending,
With all it loveth, shall regain its home.

Its columns intended be- mostly appropriated to tho
investigation of physical and intellectual huanity to the
contemplation of man moral and social being, whelm

port Of the committee of the Chamber of Com
MERGE of Bordeaux, Nessrs. Wusenberg, Baour,

saud, Duvergier, and GaIos, on the practicabity
and advantages Of steamship communication be-
tween the above cities. 1t enters into the mi
nutest details and calculations gives every posi-
BILE view of the subject, and leaves no room for
illusion or deception. II is clearly established
that large source of profit woud be derived from
the amount in value which from the small bulk
of silk goods could be sent by Bordeaux, and it
is in our opinion no less certain that more profit
than the committee permit themselves 10 imagine
could be derived from the direct intercourse thus
established between the metropolis Of the United
States the south Of France and Switzerland, all
Italy, and the Mediterranean, and consequently
with the overland route 10 India The great cur
rent of emigration from Europe would take this
pleasaner course by Bordeaux in milder attitudes,
than the north of Europe. So on the other hand
this would he the, thoroughfare of travel from
America. We hope the company, which we see
is already formed with capital of millions of
francs, will 90 manfully to work. not fearing any
competition from Havre, Bristol and Liverpool

REMARKABLE INVENTION. A Journeyman clock
maker in the neighborhood of Havre is taking
measures to procure patent for a discovery,
which, if it really leads to the results announced
by the inventor, must bring about sudden and
complete revolution in horology. The invention
of our fellow citizen consists in thls-We cannot,
Of course speak of the process this is the proper
ty Of the inventor. M y has changed entirely
the mechanism of watches, pendulums and clocks;
he has so smplfed them that the presen. price OF
these machines must submit to reduction OF 90
per cent, on the present price, and will then
furnish great profit to the manufacturer. Ano-
Their, still more valuable, is the method Of making
a lady's watch go, without being wound up during
a whole year, gentlemans watch during three
years, a pendulum of mddlng size twenty years,
and public clock for space oftwo hundred and
eighty years, and following an inverse progress
sion. M manufactures watches of so small
size that they can be fixed as the seal Of a ring,
and will require to be wound up but once i'll ft-
teen days. watch Of this species will cost but
SO francs. One worn by the Empress Maria
Louisa on the fore finger of her left hand was

than 256,OOO francs. The watches made by
M y = can only be wound up by himself, or
those acquainted with the secret Of his patent
They arc enclosed in a case Theoretically sealed,
and have no more thickness than a common
watch The fear of exposing himself to lndis-
Greet solicitations compels him to maintain great
secrecy as to his process. We must add, that
according to the process of this inventor, the str-
king of bells cannot be connected with the clock
work which he acturcs.-French Paper.
