LITERARY EXAMINER.
Odc-AulamA.


I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand sha6owless like silencs, listening
To silence, for no lonely bird would sing
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn,
Nor Iowly hedge nor solitary thorni-
Shaking his languid locks all dewy bright
With tangled gossamer that fell by night,
Peariing his coronet with golden corn.
Where are the songs Of Summerl-Hith the
sun,
ou'ning the dusky eyelids Of the South,
Till shade and silence waken uPas one,
And Morning sings with warm odorons
mouth,
Where are the merry birdsl Away, away,
On painting wings through the inclement skies
Lest owls should prey
Undazzled at MONDAY,
And tear with horny beak their lustrons eyes
Where are the blooms Of Summerl--In the W est
Blushing their last TO the last sunny hours,
Where the mild Eve by sudden Night is Presi
Like fearful PrOserPine, snatched from her
flowers
To most gloomy breast.
Where is the pride Of summer-the green prime
The many, many leaves all twinklingf Three
On the messed elm; three on the naked lime
Trembling-and one upon the old oak tree.
Where is the Dryad's Immortality
Gone into mournful cyprus and dark yew,
In the smooth hOlly's green eternity.
The squirrel glOats on his accomplised hoard
The ants have brimmed their gamers with ripe
grain,
And hOney-bees have stored
The sweets Of Summer in their luscious cells;
The swallows all have winged across the
main;
But here the Autumn melancholy dwells,
And signs her fearful spells
Amongst the sunless shadows Of the plain
Alone, alone,
Upon messy stone,
She sits and reckons mp the dead and gone.
With the last leaves for love rosary,
Whilst all the withered world looks drearily,
Like dim picture of the drowned past
In the hushed minds mysterious far away,
Doubtful what ghOstly thing will steal the las
Into that distance, gray upon the gray.
o. 90 and sit with her, and be o'ershaded
Under the languid dow nfall Of her hair;
She wears u coronal Of flowers faded
Upon her forehead and face Of care;-
There is enough Of withered every where
To make her boWer-and enough Of gloom;
There is enough Of sadness TO invite,
IL oply for the rose that died-whOse doom
Is Beautv's-she that with the living bloom
OF conscious cheeks most beauties the light
There is enough Of sOrrowing, and quite
Enough of bitter fruits the earth doth bear
Enough Of chilly droppings for her bow;
Enough Of fear ana shadOwy despair,
To frame her cloudy prison for the soul!

FAILURE IN PHlLADELr1IIA.,-We find
the following paragraph in the money
article OF Wednesdays Philadelphia
Ledger:
"The money market continues very
stringent and we had yesterday reports
of the first failures OF any magnitude in
this city. A grocery firm on North
Third streets has stopped, under habili-
ties ofSS0, 000-though it is said it shows
credits to the amount of $124, 900 to
meet the $4,000. There was also
report of another failure, of an old and
well established firm, for much larger
amount, resulting indirectly from the
failure of the Lewistown Bank, or from
the failure of those who caused the fail
ure of that bank but as the report was
subsequently contradicted, we hope 1t
may prove untoundrd."

age. In 1898, James Kent, then Recor-
der of New York, was appointed a Justice

made 'hancelor Of the State, the tunc-
tons Of which Office he performed with

TIE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-On our
first page will be found the comments of
several papers upon Mr.. Folks message.
We shall give more Of the same sort
next week. We presume he will find
himself essentially used up before the
matter is hushed. And ofright he should
be. His station entities him to respect,
but it cannot prevent his conduct and
declarations from being scrutinized close
ly, and commented upon. 1t isno cause
OF complaint to him or to his partizan
admirers, that his efforts to throw respon-
sibility upon wrong shoulders by false
representations, should be exposed and
contradicted and denounced.
THE TARIFr.-Ifit were true that the
tariff Of 1916, simply by its greater en-
couragement Of imports, did, as Mr.. Polk
states in his message, raise in the last
year eight. millions more revenue than
the tariff of ~, it would be a lamcrtable
fact. II would only show that that tar
If caused that raSt amont Of goods to be
purchased in Europe, $50 many mil
lions worth, that they yielded eight nil
lions more revenue, notwithstanding The
decreased rate Of customs-) which would
have been bought from our own mechan-
les and manufacturers, if the tariff or'42
had remained. What a fearful blow at
the industry Of the country.
But. other people can think and reason
as well as Mr.. Polll-and they can put
facts, in opposition to his 1allacious argu-
mcnts to their overthrow. Tie people
know that the failure OF the crops in Eu
rope, caused immense quantities Of -four
and grain to be exported, which flour
and grain had to be paid for, and being
paid for in state of trade, mostly in
goods, those goods of necessity had to be
imported and their great quantity
caused the increased revenue yet who
will say that if they had paid more duty,
more revenue would not have been de-
rived from them!
Though Mr.. Folks Tariff docs now,
and will eventually to greater extent,
injure the labor Of the country, still he
is wrong in proclaiming that he has as
yet injured it to the extent Of so many
millions.

The LETTER Lsr.--There is no shadow of
doubt anywhere We presume, but that we are
by Law entitled to publish the letter list, still we
have let the matter go as ole of small account,
as the postmaster is inclined by his party prede-
lotions to publish in the locofoco paper. A gen
tlcman wishing to advertise, few days ago,
enqurcd for the paper in which the letter list
was advertised taking it for granted, that it had
the greatest circu lation--that opened our eyes
some, and if we think the giving offence to the
P. NJ. may not in the matter Of accommodation
at the P. o., overbalancc the price Of the adj
vertisement, we may insist on onr right. We
are ready to prove at any minute that we have
many the most subscribers.

NEW AssEssMENT.-The experience of
every day, in the office of the Commission
ers, convrces us that it Is time there was a
new assessment of property to this county
The present valuation is very unequal,
growing parly..out of the changes and I'M
provements, since tie last assessment swas
made. Many properties are assessed at
double their present value, and many at too
little by half. Our opinion is that the prop
er steps should be taken 10 have a law pass
ed for that purpose; this winter-if not done
then il cannot be done for two years

ton of it, If for any of it. On WcdncS-
day last he submitted the following Res
olutions in the Senate, which of course
show the views of the Calhoun Party,
and they hold the balance Of power in
that body.
Resolved, That to conquer Mex co, and t.
hold it, either as Il Province or to Incorporate ii
in our Union, would be inconsistent with the
avowcd object for which the war has been pro-
ccutcd; Il departure from the settled policy Of
the Government; in conflict with lis character
and genius; and, in the end, subvcrsvc OF cur
free and popular institutions.
Resolved, That no line cf policy in the in,nre
prosecution oflhc war should be adopted, which
may lead to consequences 50 disastrous.

The Brooklyn Advertiser relates quite ro-

howell of wretched and obscure exterior, a
young female of singular beauty, who for three
years past had lived recuse from all associ-
alton with the world, save in the common in
tercourse forced upon her by the purchase OF
her common articles.
She is reported to be immensely rich, and
is known to be in possession of jewels o. rare
value; but whence she came, who she is, or
what her object in pursuing career SO strange
no one can divine. Since she has been an oc-
cupant of the place, no visiter has been known
to enter her abode, and lovely as she is in form
and feature. she appears studiously to avoid
the ruder sex, and seems to entertain for man
aversion. There is amystery con-
nected with her which the most curious and
inquisitive are unable 10 faihom; and deep

been excited among many whom her person
