THE AUTUMNAL GUEST.

The crown from the forehead of summer
Had dropt, the dim woodlands were sere,
When there entered our home strange
conner,
Afar from the kingdom of fear,
In the mystical fall of the year.
He darkened our doors, and the hours,
Once opening like myrtles in bloom,
Where blighted as ifthey were flowers,
That droop in the shade of the tomb
That wither and die in its gloom.
There came to our cheek strange pallor, q
Our words grew unfrequcnt and low,-
But one of our number, with valor,
Smiled sweet on that terrible foe,
As the rose on the cold falling snow.
Ny star of the night and the morning,
My joy and my beauty was she,
Then came to my heart forewarning,
A blast from the winter to be,
The winter that waileth in me;
And l knew that my kingdom of summer
Must fade, and its crown disappear,
0 ptiless grew that dread conner,
+ ar from the kingdom of fear,
In the desolate fall OF the year.
Strange that hearts can live ON after break
ing !
At midnight my darling was dead,
Her bosom had rest from it's aching,
Fond bosom her babies that fed
Pure bosom that pilowed my head.
A grave meath the pines for my keeping,
lie left me, that sorrowful quest,
A soul that weary with weeping,
A world that iii shadow is drest,
A life that is wild with unrest.
No more, never more to behold her =
| wake by degrees to my loss,
| feel the cold world growing colder;
On sorrows drear oceanl toss :;
| faint meath the load ofmy cross.
Yet high in the infinite summer,
Beyond the pale kingdom offear,
Gods angels have crowned new comer
She smiles from her beautiful sphere;
She calls me-the morning is near

NUIsANcE.-More than once Of late,
we have noticed that the negroes have a
practice of congregating on the side
walks in crowd, and holding their con-
versation much to the annoyance of pas
sers by-and more especially to the La
dies. This practice is chiefly confined to
Main Street and Market Square, although
we have seen it in other parts of the city.
Yesterday morning we were in CONVERSE
ton with gentleman in front of the
Court House on Catherine Street, and we
actually saw two Ladies on the opposite
side of the street, get off the pavement to
enable them to pass by-owing to a crowd
of negroes assembled on the pave, tai
king away at great rate. We respect
fully call the attention of the proper au-
thorities to remedy this nuisance, for a
nuisance we must call it.

sTHE OLD DOMINION"
G O f f E E P O r


MANY modes have been adopted, and
wi ingenious contrivances brought forth,
particularly French ideas, for the prepare
ton of Coffee for the Table-to make it pala-
table, healthy and economical. But the de-
sideratum-a Coffee Pot for the million-that
would never fail to yield good coffee, remain
ed to be produced by the never-failing Yam
kse Nation, and comes forth from Virginia
the Old Dominion---and hence the name it
bears.
PECULIAR ADVANTAGES.
The coffee made in this boiler is always
palatable because there is no loss of the favor
of the coffee by evaporation, as in the ordi-
nary boiler, always healthy, because the bit
ter principle of the coffee is held in subjec-
ton to the aromatic, by means of the con-
denser always economical, because being
boiled, the full strength of the grain is ex-
tracted---which is not the case with the ordi-
nary French strainer-the saving being from
rs to 3S per cent.

SO large an audience, but more especially
to see SO many of the fair sex of our city
present. 1t has always been our DISPOSE
ton to award praise where it is due,
therefore we must give to each and every
one that appeared on the stage. for the
very able manner in which they sustained
their different characters.
1t may be well for us to remind our
readers that many of the ladies and gen
tlemen connected with this troupe were
on board the i'll fated steamer Norfolk, at
the time of her shipwreck, and lost near
ly every thing OF value they had. And
now that they are in our midst,let us ex-
tend them helping hand to assist in re-
placing their losses.
Tonight fine bill is offered. Three
pieces will be performed, "Jacobite,"

Mr.. Thompson will appear in all three
