OCTOBER.

October strews the woodland DER
With many brilliant color:
The world is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be dulleri
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather,
All me. this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season, this
The time when friends are flying,
And lovers now, with many kiss,
Their long farewells are signing;
Why is earth SO gaily drest
This pomp that Autumn beareth.
A funeral seems where every guest
A bridal garment weare,h.
Each one of Us, perchance, may here.
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter;
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brows with silver laden:
And thou this glen may'st seek again
But never more maiden!
Nature, perhaps, forsees that Spring
Will touch her teeming bosom.
And that few brief months will bring
The bee, the bird, the blossom;
All, these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither-
The virgin that adorns them so.
Will never more come hither.

Words by the Way.

DEAR 'OLIvE'-The peaches drop from
the loaded trees, with every love-pat Of
the coy south wind the plums purple roy
ally the bending limbs; the pears are turn
ing their yellow checks to the sun, and the
grapes are swelling roundly with their rich
juices And these beautiful gifts of ma
ture we see in a Pennsylvania village gar
den for to sweet spot in natures sylvan
boundaries, called Lewisburg, in the very
heart of the fine old State of Quaker me-
mory, we have been borne by the rushing
steeds of steam. Our hearts have bound
ed at the sight Of the mountains rising as
if freshly created and crowned, and trcm-
bled with wonder and awe, as, over the
bridged precipice, with the tops oftall oaks
under our feets, and the lowly chimneys
of the valley cot far beneath US, we were
carried with a speed that almost outstripp-
ed the tide of thoug hit
1t was our first journey over the won
derful Catawissa road from Philadelphia
to Niagara. The route is not as familiar
to travellers as perhaps it should be; for
we are sure that all lovers of the sub
lime, were they aware that points of scene
ry, equal to many Of the most famous
views in the old world, open before the
sight on every hand, and at almost every
moment, would leave the beaten track and
follow the new. The road for hundreds of
miles ascends gently, until it leads over
the very summit of the Notwithstanding
noble amphithcatres of valley and lesser
height, walled in by the blue sleeps of
grand old hills, interspersed with stretch
upon stretch of field and forest, and slope
upon slope of greenness and beauty, thread
ed by winding streams-the "silver cords"
of natures vigorous life, wrap the soul in
wonder and raise it in worship.
But to dclinea.c these mighty things of
God-to describe emotions that fctter the
tongue from their very vastness-is of
course impossible. While rushing over the
span, where the bridge seems to hang like
a web in the air, the very breath is sus-
pended while the frail fabric trembles like
living pulse; and SO the pen pauses
while we look down from the heights of
memory, and the rushing thoughts speed
on, leaving US trembling, and powerless to
depict, because We have not the language
Of the Infinite.

Return of the Arctic Expedition.

At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
barque Release, in company with the pro.
peller Arctic, hove to off the quarantine,
where they were boarded by the health Of
ieer, and permitted to pass up to the city
The appearance of these vessels coming up
he harbor was the cause Of considerable
excitement OF shore, and on the decks Of
those ships which they passed in their
course, the news having by this time been
circulated that DR.. Kane and his party
were on board.
Many of the steamers plying across the
harbor steamed close to them, in order to
give their passengers an opportunity Of
welcoming the returning wanderers with
cheers; and from the decks and rigging Of
ships, from the forts, and, in fact, from
every available position, three cheers were
swelled and prolonged until the vessels
ueared the Battery, abreast Of which they
moored and now remain. Our reporters
here boarded the vessels, and found DR..
Kane and most of his company on board
the Release, in excellen: health aud spi-
rits. The following narrative Of facts may
be relied on as correct statement of the
circumstances connected with this expedi-
tion.

Howard, the Philanthropist

In the town of Cardington, in England,
once lived very good man named John
Howard. He had large house and fine
farm, and hired many servants. His wife
was kind and gentle lady, and made all
around her happy. But suddenly the good
Mrs. Howard died, and her husband was
left sad and lonely, for his only child was
still very small boy, not old enough to
comfort his sorrowing father. Mr. How
ards home had lost its brightness, and be
now resolved to follow the example Of our
Savior, who, while Oh earth, went about
doing good. Having placed his son under
the care of good woman, ,he began to visi:
the prisons in the reighborhood. No one
thought much about the condition of those
whose crimes had brough them to punish
ment, and Mr.. Howard was surprised and
grieved by the dreadful situation in which
he found many fellow beings.
For seventeen years, he went about Wis
itiug almost every Jail and hospital in
Great Britain and Europe. He often
published accounts of what he had seen,
and thus drew the attention Of great men
of different countries to this subject, on
which they had before thought very little
1t would be impossible to describe the mis-
cradle state in which be found many Of the
prisons. Men who had grown old in crime.

Revolutionary Tea.
Bv syBt SMITH.

There was nm old lady who lived over the sea,
And she was an Island Queen;
Her daughter lived oil In n new country,
With an ocean of water between.
The old lady's pockets were full Of gold,
But never contrnted was she;
So she called on her daughter to pay her tax,
or "thrip-rence pound for her tea
"Now mother dear mother the daughter replied,
81 shan't do the thing that you AZ:
I'm willing to pay fair price for the tea,
But never the thrip-penny tax
"You shall 'luoth the mother and reddenei with rag
"For you're my own daughter, you see;
And sure It's quite proper the daughter should pay
Her mother tax on her tea"
And so the old lady her servants called up,
Aud packed of the budget Of tea;
And eager for thrip pence pound, she put in
Enough for n large family.
She ordered her servants to bring home the tax,
Declaring her child should obey;
Or, old as she was and almost woman grown,
She would half whip her life away.
The tea was conveyed to the dau ;hter's door,
All down by the side:
And the bouncing girl poured out every pound
In the dark and boiling tide.
And then she called out to the Island Queen,
80, mother, dear mother" quoth she,
Your tea you may have, when 'tis steeped enough,
But never q tax from me,
No, never o tax from me-"

How they read the Paper.

1t is proof of the variety of human de-
vclopment, to notice persons reading the
newspaper.
Mr. General Intelligence first glances
at the telegraph, then at the editorial, and
then goes off into the correspondence.
Mr. Sharper opens with stocks and mar
kets, and ends with the advertisements for
wants, hoping to find a victim.
Aunt Sukey first reads the stories, and
then looks to see who's married.
Miss Prim looks at the marriage col
umn first and then reads the stories.
Mr. Marvellous is curious to see the list
of accidents, murders and the like.
Uncle Ned hunts up the funny things
and then smokes and laugh at his will.
Madame Gossip turns to the local depart
ment for her thunder, and having obtained
that throws the paper aside.
Mrs Friendly drops the first tear of
sympathy over the death column, and the
next over the marriages; Tor, says she,one
is as bad as the other.
Mr.. Politician dashes into the telegraph,
and from that into the editorial, ending
with the speeches.
Our literary friend is eager for a nice
composition from the editor or some kind
correspondent. After analyzing the rheto-
ric, grammar, and the logic of the pro-
duction, he turns careless glance at the
news department, and takes to his Greek,
perfectly satisfied.
The Laborer searches among the wants
for a better opening in his business, and
but enough. an extension of the list
were useless. There is just as much diff
erence in readers as in-anything else.
But the worst is yet to come. If each
does not fud column or less Of his pecu-
liar liking, the editor has, of course, been
lazy, and is unworthy Of patronage. Oh,
who wouldn't be an editor ?-4lJany
KnickerJocAer.
