For the Placer Herald.


Hear We not the Autumn reeZe pass by,
Telling of the winter coming nigh!
See We not fair flowers scatter'd round,
In their faded beauty on the ground.
In the forest, leaves are thickly lying,
While around sad Autumn low is signing.
Summer wings her flight and fees away,
With chill Winter not content to stay,
Thick the low'ring clouds o'erspread the
sky,
And the warbIers of the woods now HE,
To southern home, far, far away,
Where again they'll sing their sumner lay.
Autumn bids the traveller hasten home,
When she tells of Winter with low moan;
Bid the farmer plough his well-used soil,
And prepare to rest from Summer toll.
Al around she tells her piteous tale,
O'er the mountain top or in the vale,
Round the palace or the lowly cot;
Where, say where is it she goeth not!
Love We not the many-colored shades
Which appear when summer verdue fades;
List ye not with pleasure to her song,
E'en tho thou the sound can'It not pro-
long,
Tho she comes but to foretell the gloom
Winter soon will spread around the tomb,
Well may ye welcome to her give,
Who with earthly comforts bIest can live,
Ye know nought of winters piercing cold :,
Want to thee its tale hath never told,
But the poor within the mean, low shed,
Knowing not wherewith they shall be fed =,
Well may mourn and give responsive sigh,
When the wint'ry messenger comes by.
Harsh the sound greets on the poor mans
ear,
Fills his heart with dark, foreboding fear

A Forced Recognition.

The London Sunday Dispatch in most
execrabie and self-audatory article, on
"Imitations of Yankeedom," pays the fol-
lowing forced compliment to American
enterprise.
"But it must be confessed they have
some warrant for their gasconade, aud
that they are great people, destined
probably to be the greatest. The mark
they have set upon the world has scarcely
been equalled even by the Romans. They
have converted a wilderness to civillza-
ton, over territory greatly larger than
all Europe, in an incredibly short time
They have given permanent, wise, work
able. and working institutions to a vast
portion of the habitsbIe globe. Canals,
linked lakes, deepened rivers and rail-
ways, intersect her inland territory, and
open it up all to reciprocal comnunica-
ton. Her maritime enterprise is not less
than our own, and pushes trade in and
with our colonies even when we fail In
doing 80 ourselves TO the disgrace of
Europe, and the glory of the States, the
merchants of the Union were the first to
undertake to connect the Atlantic with the
Pacific. In practical science, especially in
the department of the mechanics, she
stands in a position little, IT at all, inferior
to our own, and in the arts and conven-
fences of social life she has made advances
from which even our elder civilization
need not disdain to take "a lesson. She
even sends actresses here whom we hesi
tate to regard as at all inferior to our owr
most eminent artists; and, in jurlspru
dence, her jurisconsults are standard au
thorities in Europe.

Watering PLAcEs.-There is one great
objection to fashionable watering places,
and that is, it breaks up your Identity
You are no longer John Bluster, Esq,
but simply SIG. If Mr.. Jones wants a
julep, it is not charged to Mr.. Jones, but
to No. 2ls. Should MIR. Dashum be
kicking up row, the waiter is told to go
up, not to speak to Mr.. Dashum, but to
hint to 219 that unless he tones down his
conduct, SAT will walk in with $50 and
punch his head. 1t makes no odds what
position you occupy in the world, the
moment you come to Saratoga you are
nobody-a mere piece Of rubbish, to be
marked and labeled "like critters in car
avan." When Gen. Scott was last at
Lebanon, he was simply known as sold
9S." Think of that! The hero of Mex
leo referred to as cold Ninety-three. p

GERMAN WIT.-There is perhaps Al
much merit in the manner of telling 4
good story as in the ''yarn" itself. Both
qualities are so completely joined in the
following, which we clip from the Balti-
more Campaigner, that we cannot refrain
giving it:
There are many stratagems in war, and
as many, it may well be said, in love and
law. We have heard oftentimes how the
stratagerns of love have outwitted paren-
tai vigilance, but we never heard of case
where law so effectually aided Hymen as
related in Bavarian journal. The trans
lation may not be SO good as Or. Kraister
might give, but it runs to the effect that
young man of Nuremberg, who had no
fortune, requested lawyer, friend of
his, to recommend him to y family where
ne was daily visitor, and where there
was handsome daughter who was to
have large fortune. The lawyer agreed,
but she father of the young lady, who
loved money, Immediately asked what
property he had. The lawyer said he did
not exactly know, but he would inquire.
Next time he saw his young friend, he
asked him if he had any property at all.
"No," replied he,
"WelI," said the lawyer, "would you
suffer any one to cut off your nose, if ho
would give you twenty thousand dollars
for it.''
"Not for the world"
"Tis WELL" replied the lawyer, "I had
a reason for asking"
The next time he saw the girls father,
he said, 81 have inquired about this young
mans circumstances He has. indeed, no
ready money, but he has jewel, for
which, to my knowledge, he has been Of
fered and refused twenty thousand dol
lars" .. ~.
This induced the old father to consent
to the marriage, which accordingly took
place; though it is said, in the sequel, ho
often shook his head when he thought OF
the jewel.

New ROUTE ACROSS MExICo.-ColoncI
Ramsey returned from his voyage to ex-
plore the Rio Mescalo, which river he
has surveyed in company with the Com:
mission sent from the United States, from
its source in the State of Puebla, to its
mouth on the Pacific. The result ap
pears to have been brilliant one. For
length of 1873 leagues the river is naviga-
BILE by small steamers from the Pacific to
the village Of Mesqutelan, 81 leagues dis
tant froms Pueba. From Vera Cruz to
Puebla there is a splendid wagon road,
O35 leagues;) from Puebla to Mesquite
Ian the road requires but few repairs, and
with but trifiing expense the whole trip
from Vera Cruz to Zazatula can be made
in from four to five days. This explora-
ton has proved that all the old Mexican
maps, and even Humboldt's, were wrong
in making the Rio Mescalo empty its wa
ter into the Pacific to the south of Aca-
pulco, while it is the same river called
Balsas on it's juncture, and whose mouth
is at Zatecula. about 100 leagues to the
north of Acapulco. The American COM
pany will Immediately set to work on this
line. The steamers which are to run be-
tween New York, New Orleans, Tampi-
co and Vera Cruz are already advertised,
and the river steamer will follow imme-
diately after.

The Commonwealth, in noticing the
charge that Kossuth is living at his ease,
in London, on the money given for the
Hungarian cause in America, makes the
following statement, which is presumed
to be correct:
"Ne take this opportunity of stating,
from positive knowledge, that of the co.
900 or 100000 dollars which Kossuth col
lected in this country, hardly dollar
crossed the Atlantic with him. He ex-
pended it in this country in purchasing
and making munitions of war, by the man
ufacture of which he gave employment to
a large number of his destitute country
men. He had for months nearly hun
dred of them employed in making cart
ridges alone. He expended it also in car
rying on most extensive and costly cor
respondence with his agent in Europe,
transmitting of course, his letters by pri-
vate messengers, who went at the risk of
their lives, and had to be paid proportion
ately, and who, of course had to be am
ply furnished with money for emergencies
Every letter which Kossuth sent to Hun
gary cost him OH an average $500. The
money that he raised here was of course
easily absorbed by those expenditures, and
with it, as we know, was spent consid-
cradle sum belonging to his wife, which
her relatives in Hungary sent to her for
her own use, but which she gave to her
husband for his cause.
Kossuth left America pennies. and in
debt, as in lS49 he left Hungary, after
two years administration of the treasury
Of that rich kingdom"

CBILD's BLuNTNEss.-That was
rather an unpleasant ssiix" that a friend or
ours found himself in "once upon time"
1t seems he had acquired habit of visit
ing pretty frequently at the house Of a
friend where was an interesting young
lady-(nothing strange in that, by the
way)-when, one day as he was making
himself quite at home, child about four
or five years of age looked up in his face
with the nasvete peculiar to children at
that age, and said
"Ma says you come here too often!''
The way Charley was "snaked out"
was caution to 'shousehold pledges" Of

in which our friend seized his beaver and

A correspondent of the New York
Times traces back to their source some
of the slang phrases of the day. The
etymology of hoeus poeus is rooted with
the English Reformation, and reflects the
popular mind of an era. 1t was a con-
temptuous way Of pronouncing the words
of the Catholic ritual of the sacrament,
&c liz cot ~n-n.as ,, &c "This IL the hodv -
&c. The sturdy haters Of transubstantia-
ton and Catholicism thus turned into
ridicule the formula of a religious ceremo-
ny, which the ajority Of the nation had
abjured There is anothor slang saying,
born of the same odium theoIogicuns, to
wit: "My eye Betty Martini The first
line of the old Catholic litany was ".uihi
beate .uartsne," &c. This in vulgar pro-
nunciation, took sound provokngly like
the aforementioned English words, and
the scornful converts to Professionalism
were but too happy to parrot them, and
apply them to anything absurd and non
sensical, like that invocation of a Popsh
saint! We hope, hocus pocus and "All
my eye, Betty Martini" have recovered
some dignity. At first sight, one would
not suppose they contained SO much of
the religious sentiment, and history of a
great nation!
