Translated from the French Of NJ De Lansrtinc

Welcome, ye trees, in dying Serdure clad,
Weeping your golden tears all below;
Hail, lovely autumn day, whose aspect sad,
Delights my sight and softens all my woe.
With thoughtful step in lonely woodland path,
love to mark the years retreating form,
When, sombre as the mournful shades Of DEATH.
Yes in these autumn days, when nature dies,
Her glory gone, all beautcous things sec
The farewell of friend, the last two signs
That watt from dying lips the last sweet smile to me
So ready from the shore of life to spring,
Weeping for summer days of hope long past,
still look back with envy's poignant sting,
And view departed joys which yet joys possessed
Earth, sum- wales nature beautiful and fair,
For you, on deaths dark verge, a tear I'll shed,
So lovely is the light, so pure the air,
That shines and breathes around the dying head.
Yet to the dregs this cup of life I'll drain;
This mingled cup of nectar and of gall
Still, in its depths, all hidden, may remain
One drop of life to compensate for ALL
Perchance, all shrouded in futurity
Some bliss, by hope unseen, may descry:
Perchance, some sister soul, my soul may see,
To read my spirit with a kindred eye.
The flower resigns its perfumes to the gale,
Breathing its latent sweetness it die !;
My soul exhales in sorrow, like the wall
Of some low song of nournfu melody

As an evidence of the fourshing condition of our

which it is published, since it constitutes a map
showing the extent and variety of the occupations
of the citizens. Taking this principle for granted,
Goldsborough cannot be beaten by any village in the
State and the columns of our contempt

writing this article not much to eulogse our vii
lage to call attention to the advertisements of
Messrs. Phillips, Lousee Strouse and Bonner. Of
the qualities of Mr.. Phillips a skillful faithful

My association with Gen. Worth has been such that

vate acts and opinions. His papers are in my pos
session-among them letters showing concusively
his determination not to have anything to do with
the movement, and his views expressed in my
hearing personal friends, and to Cubans, corrob-

1t is just and proper that the truth should be
known and the public mind diSabused upon this sub

about the report of the Auditing Committee of the
WILMINGTON & Raleigh Rail Road 1t can do just as
it pleases about the matter. We dlsclaimed any
intention to reflect upon or find fault with any body
we do so now. Why then should the Herald try

their express words unless it be to raise udce
against US in the minds of the gentlemen composing
the committee We have most perfect right to
define our own position upon any matter OF business
and while we interfere with one, must be permit

Dfic0us and unnalled for. The position which
we wished define was that for transient ADVERTISE

in accordance with the full rates published at the
head of paper, and that, consequently, anything
intended as an advertisement mil ht we'll be sent
by child a servant or through the mail, as in any
other way and, therefore, that if any public body
wish anything published in the Journal: the order
for such publication should be unconditional. The
committee were not so ordered or instructed, and,
according to their understanding of the matter acted
perfectly right Perfectly 1t is matter of We
