Autumnal Thoughts.
nv TUDOR.


The beauty of the world is fading fast;
Her earliest bushes soon will prove her last;
The rich embroidery she sometime wore
Like bright Queen, is now grown poor.
The pearls and gems, that hung about her check,
Have lost their astre and her wreck hes pc ak.
And wintry waves the golden fringes beat,
Where buttercups and daises once hsvc sprung
Dead grasses lie and wnhs red leaves are flung.
The waters now. different music play
Along their hanks, no more with blossoms gay.
M0urifoy slow, meandering through the grove,
They tell the story Of departed love- & h
Love which like mans c,lmme nces with the year,
And dies when beauty fills into the sere.
THUS the bright spring and summers golden day,
Lures the gay sireamet from its mountaiu way; Z.
Calls from its icy sleep The limpid wave, l
And wous /; gently from G. Id Writers rravo

Too of in those. who's, faithful hearts release

Which changes every joy into strife.
Each hope that like rose. boomed fresh and fair
Falls witiered from the tree in dark despair;
In vain they pine for their first happy days;
The stream OF life must run its widering maze.
Soon, all is post Themeretricious spring
Files Into summers arms with ready wing.
And summer on 10 autumn's gorgeous breast,
And autumn, into winters icy rest.
Leaves. flowers and fruits have each their day,
Then wither, fade and fall in death away.
So LIES four seasons hover DER our fate,
Varying all that fills this mortal state
The difference this-dead blossoms live no more
While man still greets an everlasting hour.

Theatrical E.cl,emem. ia LouIsvllle.

The announcements was recently made
by the theatrical manager at Louisville,
that new play called The Sybip would
be performed, play written by Mr. John
Savage of Washington city, and founded
on tho Bcauchamp tragedy, which occurred
near Louisville, aud which, at tho time Of
its occurrence, created profound sensation
throughout the country. Miss Avonia

The announcement created great excite.
mcnt, and we let tho Louisville corrcspon-

There is doubtloss an analogy between

nation Of 1925 Of Col. Solomon p. Sharps,

he married her But this Is ouiy tho foun-

Such packed house was never socn

prchonsiors behind the srcncs, for the
stage inanaccr looked as though his last
inur had come, aud tho poor fellow who
pcrsoraccd Col. Sharp seemed weak in tho
knees with fear. Miss Avonia performed
her part fault|essly as if unconscious that
there was a single spectator. The play is
rcplete with dramatic effect, and was well
acted, yet there was u dead silence until
Si'yl presented pistol at Col. Sharp, her
scduccr when there arose a yell Of 'kiil

was no sympathy for Sharp.
"Of course the play was brought before
tho public, and has filed the house right

upon which it is based has been recalled;

PENNSYLVANIA and Indiana.

Two years ago, Pennsylvania and Indi
ana, ut their October State Elections, stop
ped the victorious career of tho Republicans
and secured the election Of Mr.. Buchanan
to the Presidency. The Democratic ma
jority in Pennsylvania over the combined
Opposition vote was II little over three
thousand; whilc in Indiana it was about
sewn housand Philadelphia alone at
that time gave some thirty-fve hundred
democratic majority over the united Oppo-
sition; she now gives over five thousand
the other way. Pennsylvania gives ten
times tho majority against Mr.. Buchanan's
administration that she gave to call it into
being in October, 1856. So vast revo-
lution, so quietly and peacefully Effected,
we are rarely enabled t. chronicle. 1t has
bocn effected in tho face Of tho most untir.
ing assertions of the placemen and their
journalists, ot only that tho Kansas ques-
ton is definitely and happily settled, but
tha thc Administration has settlek it; and
That the idea Of Protection is Obsolete
that no improvement in the Tariff with
view to The protection Of American labor,
is now osshle, aud If it worr, the only
why TO secure it is 10 support the powers
hat be, and thus earn the good vii! Of the
eIavcrbIecding interest. All this, and
much II orc in tho same vein, have Icon
diunrd in tho cars OF the people since May;
and their response is gjvcn in The election
returns We have this week published.
The votes Of Ohio and Iowa, Of Conncc
ticut anil oven Delaware, demonstrate that
the revolution of 1853 is not confined TO
the two Slaics which elected Mr.. Buchan
an, though il is there most emphatic and
unmistakeaqlo. In October 1886, the Re-
pub'icans carried Ohio Ivy over eighteen
thousand majority yet they have Just made
gains on the m, ,mbtrs of Congress thon

have been but moderately heavy--quite
below that Of 1855 end the Republican
generally appear to 10 equally surprised
and delighted by their victories. Can any
rational being long'r o!rabt that the policy
Of tho Administration, alike with regard
to Kansas and TO Fiaanca, is condemned
by great majority Of the American poo
plel Subtract that large minority who
always vote what thoy consider the "rcg
ular Democralic ticket" and always viii,
n1 matter how flagrant may be tho errors
and malfcasanco OF its leaders in office, and
there is no support left in the Free States
