 October, so sober
 So sallow and sere:
 The signing and dying Sad month of the year. How chilly and shrilly The Autumn winds whistle, While blowing and sowing The seed of the thistle. How red leaves and dead leaves Come down to the earth, As the trees in the breeze Make mournfullest mirth. While walnuts and small nuts Drop-drop to the ground; Where childhood in wild mood Makes laughter resound. Tassel.plumed, winter-doomed, Tall chiefs of the field Corn-staik meets corn-stalk And, in the shocks, yield. Birds flocking, herds focking, Closer together,
 At evening and morning Foretell the rude weather. The blown-leaf and lbne-leaf That sails on the pool, Tell plough boy and cow-bow Of sweethearts and school. October! October!
 The Summers fair form Will turn from thy bosom To die in the storm,

 The chief of Police placed the matter in the hands of Sergt. Bowyer, and that officer with policeman White, took immediate means to arrest the engraver.

A MISSING CAsKET OF JEwELs.--The Lon. don police are on the alert to recover the cas-
 ket of jewels recently stolen from the Baroness Anselme de Rothschild. The robbery was committed at the country house of the Baro- ness, at Frankfort sur le Main. The jewels were in casket (made of sandal wood of Chinese manuacture) and brown leather jewel case; the value of the contents being es
 tlmated at 100000 horns. For the most part the jewels, from their remarkable rarity and beauty, may be easily recognized. Among them were the following: Four rows of large pearls, of which three rows were of ten to twelve grain pearls, and one row of twenty to thirty grain-the last alone being worth 10000 fforlnS, and the whole from 10000 to 5O.OOO fiorlns; large oriental onyx, surrounded with diamonds, valued at 5000 forins; a serpent ring, with diamond, the interior engraved, "In memory of Hannah de Rothschild;, four large pearl buttons, surrounded with diamonds; six bracelets of diamonds. emeralds, rubies, etc. A full description of the stolen jewels is in the course of circulation to all the police offices throughout England. A very large reward has been offered for the apprehension of the thieves.

Two RapS too Few.

A gentleman somewhat advanced in life, who was the other part of strong minded lady, had great faith In spiritualism. His wife openly proclaimed her in6delity, and with the con- slstency which often forms part of the female character, for long time refused to be convinc- ed of her errors through test or experiment.- At last the persuasOns of the husband induced from her promise to make one of circle at the residence of celebrated medium upon condition, however, that she should precede her husband in entering the house, and that nothing should be said or done by him which should disclose to the "meum" the fact that any connection existed between them.
 The wife on entering found two gentlemen in waiting and the aforesaid medium. Soon after this the husband came in and circle was formed, the lady of course taking precedence over the others. She ascertained that a spirit was desired to ask any test question which she might think proper. After having been in- formed that she must put her questions so as to have them answered afirmatively by three raps or negatively by one rap, she questioned as follows:
 Am married?''
 Rap, rap, rap. ....
 Have ever been married but ouce?'' Rap!
 How long have been married?"
 Rap, rap rap, rap, rap, rap rap rap! (" Eight years. ) said the medium.
 Have children?'
 Rap, rap rap!
 How many?'
 Rap, rap rap, rap! (" Four,") said the me- dium.
 The lady was somewhat startled at the cor rectness Of these answers, and freely confessed it. With a radiant face the husband then 'braced in," and asked the following questions: Am l married?"
 Rap, rap rap.
 How long have been married?'
 Rap, rap rap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap.
