Alas, how much worse off are many OF
our betters! Who can be called rich,
Whatever may be his rent roll, who has
exhausted life, principal and Interests
whose association with house-bTeakers,
panders, jockeys, pimps and blacklegs,
has compelled him to forego the society,
as he breads the superiority OF men OF
genius and learning; who, in the conlem-
pIation Of public proigacy, has lost all
belief in, and respect for public honesty
and manly virtues; who in intercourse
with the abandoned and unfortunate OF the
other sex, has long since learned to derde
and coniemn, save in his own exclusive
clique, the nobility of virtue in woman!
Who can be called happy whose fate ex-
,empts him from the necessity OF labor, yet
fails TO provide him with resources against
ideness; who must fly to the gaming ta-
BILE, or the bowl, for oblivion of lntrudlns
thoughts: who langudly lives on without
hope or aim, installing pleasure for busl-
ness; dissipation for enjoyment; who, re-
versing the ordinary course oil life, begins
where Others end, and has no more TO do
than to precipitate his own decllne-pros-
porous without exertion, rich without ex-
ertion, rich without enjoyment, miserable
without misfortune.

The epidemic" increases. Death deals
out his Understanding blows with quick

indscriminate-his wrath is not confined
to classes or conditions. Now the man,
surrounded with friends and baskng in
the sunshine OF afiluence, falls his victim /;
aud now the poor penniless stranger shares
the like fate. There goes the corpse of
the millionaire, followed by troops ofmourn-
ing friends and a long train Of carriages.
Immediately after it is the Unattended

house the sober, industrious mechanic lies
stretched on the bed of death, and in that
the voice OF the desolate, dissipated spend

gives utterance TO the wandering and I'M

Business, it may be said, is suspended !;
and the principal occupations OF those who
have SO far escaped the insidious attacks
Of the disease, is ministering TO the sick,
tending the dying and buryng of the
dead. Instead of the buoyant and elastic

on which the smile of pleasure then play

friendship or affection. Rarely does n
person pass who bears not the convention

as its internal traces. That man with the
grape covered hat, his eye still mostened
by The spring of fratcrnal affection, has

dearly beloved brother. He who follows
after him, that has already reached the

OcTopER.--We have what the English
call 'brown October" upon us. Wenight
call it here with national proprieiy, red
October, for The autumn which changes
the Emerald foliage in England, at first
into russo; hue, here tinges the leaves
with a glow Of scarlet. We have still,
however, our "brown October" and this
is the very counterpart of the brown Oc-
,ober OF old England. 1t is served up in
the same measure. All hail to it. Quaf.
ing the brown October is inherent in our
race. The Anslo-Saxons, we believe,
owe to that and their roas, beef, great
deal of that stamina which has made them
famous as men of might. October is a
good month, for in il those fiery acohols,
brandy, rum and gin, decrease in con-
sumption, and beer is drunk moro gene.

winter. He announces the old frosty
faced fellow on his march towards us, and
let's us have taste or so of his quality,
which we enjoy with a gust-o. Never
theless till the Indian summer comes and
goes, and that will be nearly two months
space Of time, we shall not care for Old
Winter.-N Y. Atlas.

nae LATE hoRRIBLE MuRpER.

Our particulars Of the murder of Mr..
Adams, the printer, though obtained un-
der disadvantages, the authorities and all
concerned, being determined to give us
little information on the subject, were
substantially correct, and were embo1ied
into nearly oil the papers OF the following
dav. The cause of justice 10 this trans.
action has been swirl, and our authorities
are entitled TO great praise Ion their ex-
ertions. On Saturday, laic'ai night, tho
box in which the murdered man was
packed YVES discovered. On Sunday, the
body was taken to The dead house and an
inquest was held upon it. Tue carman
who took the box identified it, and Mr..
Col, as the individual who gave il 10 him,
at the granite building, 10 carry TO the
ship. The Jury brought in a verdict of
wilful murder. Or Tuesday the Grand
Jury in the Court Of Oyer aud rerminer,
came in with true bill against John c.
Colt, for the murder Of Samuel Adams.
Ga Wednesday he was arraigned aud
pleaded not guilty. His trial was then
set down for 10 morrow week, the Dis.
trict Attorney sinting that he intended 10
dispose Of the case during the present
term. A stronger chain OF evidence was
never brought forward, than that agains:
this miserable man. Ii he escapes con.
vc,ion through any legal bubble, then it
will be useless to try any one hereafter,
IN this city, for the crime of murder. 1t
was singular how this dark deed was dis
covered. But for the curiosity Of MIR.
Wheeler, who looked through the key
hole Of Colts room, and saw him wiping
up the aties,ing blood Of his victim, the
murder might have lived only in the con-
science of the perpetrator, and in the eyes
Of Heaven. 1t was providential also that
the vessel, whose matches were already
closed, had not sailed; for then the chain Of
evidence, had wanted some lmportart'n links.
This is one ofthe most remarkable, as well
as horrible deeds on record. The per-
pe,raton Of the murder in the heun OF the
day. The nicely Of all the arrange
ments to prevent discovery, and the ia.
pidity and business like manner, in which
the revolving process TO cart of the earth
ly remains Of the slain, were completes,
excite our utmost astonishmont. II reads
to US, like tale OF romance. We look
into our own hearts and can scarcely
imagine, that deed so atrocious in itself.

THE HONEYMOON.
Dr r. HOOD, ESQ.

BY r. HOOD, ESQ.
The moon--the moon, so silver and cold.
Her tickle temper has Oft been told.
Now shady--now bright and sunny
But Of all the lunar things that change.
The one that shows most tickle and strange,
And takes the most eccentric range.
Is the moon--so caIled-of honey
To some full grown orb reveal'd
As big and as round as Norvars shield,
And as bright as burner Bude-ghted;
To other. as dull, and dingy, and damp
As any oleaginous lamp
or the regular old parochal stamp,
Ina London fog benigh;ed.
To the loving, bright and constant sphere.
That makes ear,h's commonest scenes appear
All poetic, romantic and tender;
Hanging with jewels a cabbage stump,
And investing common post pump,
currant bush, or gooseberry clump,
With halo Of dream-llke splendor.
A sphere such as shone from Italian skies,
In Juliel's dear, dark liquid eyes.
Tipping trees with It's argent brsveries--
And TO couples moi favored with fortunes boon.,
One of the most delightful of moons,
For il brishtens their pewter plattcrs and spoons
Like a silver service Of Savory's;
For all is bright, and beauteous, and clear.
And the meanes, things most precious and dear,
When the magic Of love is present;
Love, that lends the sweetness and grace
To the humblest spot and the plainest face
That turs. Wilderness row into Paradisr-pa
And Garlick-hil TO Mount pleasant:
Love that sweetens sugarless tea,
And makes cootentmen, and JOY agree
