The Evenings.

In the summer evenings
When the wind blew low,
And the skies were radiant
With the sunset glow,
Thou and / were happy
Long, long years ago.
Love, the young hopeful,
Hovered DER us twain,
Filled us with sad pleasure
And delicious pain,
In the summer evenings
Wandering in the lane.
In the winter evenings
When the wild winds roar,
clustering at the chimney,
Piping at the door,
Thou and | are happy,
AS in days of yore.
Love still hovers DER us
ROBBED in white attire,
Drawing heavenly music
From an earthly Tyre,
In the winter evenings
Sitting by the fire.

Autumn.
BY TON HOOD.

Summers gone and over,
Fogs are falling down,
And with russet tinges
Autumn's doing brown.
Boughs are daily rifled
BY the gusty thieves,
And the Book of Nature
Getteth short Of leaves.
Round the tops Of houses
Swallows as they fit,
Give, like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.
Skies of tickle temper
Weep by turns and laugh
Night and day together
Taking half-and-half.

Resumption of Specie Payments.

A disp itch from New Orleans, says
tbs Blltimors Sun, announces that
the banks in that city, which sus.
pended specie payments during the
late panic, have again resumed. This
is agreeable intelligence, and we hope
to see our own and other supended
banks adopt the same course at an
early day. The Banks Of Boston.
IL is said, are prepared TO resume.
Specie is rapidly pouring into New
York, and letter from that city,
dated Tuesday evening, says:
Our city banks are now so strong in
their specie reserves (S20,000,000)
that they are abundantly able to re-
sumo specie payments. Some Of
the prominent bank men in the
street to-day said they are willing to
take that step as soon as the country
banks ar ready to second the mo-
ton. In point Of fact, specie pay
ments at the counters of the prin,i-
pal banks are already i resumed
Gold is SO plenty that the suspen-
sion is only nominal.
while these cheering signs are
visible in financial circles, there is
much to encourage a hope of better
times elsewhere. Many Of the uptown
shops that were panic-struck a few
weeks since are taking back some
Of their discharged hands, and prepaI-
ing to resume business. The gra-
ding of the Central Park is going
to give work to 1000 laborers near
ly all winter, and it is expected that
by the 1st of January 800 more
will find something to do on the new
Post Office, to be built at the lowel
end OF fhe Park"
