The Evidence Of an Opponent.

The most shameless charges have
been made by the Southern 0ppo-
sition Press, against the Admins
tration. The President has been
accused of appointing freesoilers to
office, and though no facts hive been
cited to sustain the charge, it has
been repeated again and again with
all the energy Of malignant prejudice
| and reckless animosity. We may
Idisprove the charge by the most in
contestible evidence to-day, and ii
is renewed tomorrow and circulated
too with that unblushing eilrontery
which characterizes many of the OPP.
position press.
I Well the poor fellows have 81
little political capital, that they ART

and counterfeit currency to sustain

STEALING A DEAD Mans CLOTHES
The Portland (Maine) Advertiser
speaks Of member of a church OF
Locks Mill, that ten days ago watch
ed the remains # a departed friend,
and during the night stole the dead
mans coat, vest, and hat, and wore
them. The wife of the deceased
a few nights after dreamed that the
man who sat up with the corpse had
taken them, and that on being
accused of the theft, said he purchas-
ed the articles Of another person.
On Sunday the coat and hat were
worn to church, and the sacrament
partaken of by the wearer, who
proved to be the tbief-a after de-
nying it and saying that he pur-
chased them of others : being the
individual who watched on the night
they were stolen.

AUTUMN

BY JESSIE.
From the woodland has fallen its mantle Of
green,
The vesture of summer no longer is seen:
No longer the dew-laden flowers appear,
Their bloom has gone by with the change OF
the year.
The dark clouds Of Autumn are floating on
high.
At intervals screening the Light of the sky;
Ger mountains and meadows and valleys below
Their shadows are falling as onward they go.
And the gay-plumr ged songsters have left us
once more,
With the summer the sound Of their music is
DER;
Away to the South where the warm winds are
blowing,
Where crystalline fountains unfrezen are fow-
ing.
Again they revisit those evergreen bowers,
To revel once more amid foliage ard flowers;
Alas they have left us, no longer the grove
Is gaily resounding with carols of love.
The winters advancing all darksonle and drear
And the sound of their music no longer is there;
Alone through the forest the winG-harp is
signing,
And the sounds that Te hear are its echoes re-
plying.
But soon will be stayed the cold blasts of the
North,
And the spring blooming flowers again win
come forth;
Again will the sunshine all clouile IS appear.
As the spring iime returns in the lapse of the
year.
Oh, then let our faith in the present be strong,
While the anchor of Hore on the futile is
hung;
Our trials to bear with that solace was given,
To light up the pathway that leads Us to
Heaven.

Nan Blown up On a Keg Of Powder.

A man in New Orleans, last
week. blew up a keg of powder
upon which he was setting, the force
Of the explosion sending bin some
twenty feet in the air and into the
river. 1t appears that he sells pow
der in one Of the skTffl on the river,
and had landed his boat at the foot
Fof Main street. Having occasion
TO place one of the kegs out upon
the bank, he took a seat upon it.
Some children near by had kindled
a fire and were roasting oysters, and
having jolly time of it generally.
The powder man, thinking to fright
en- the children and amuse himself,
commenced throwing some powder,
which he had in his pocket, into
the fire, and laughing heartily at the
expression Of the Juveniles, who
could not account for the mysterl-
Gus fzzliDg and cracking among tie
oysters. In short time, and be-
fore he was aware, he bad made a
train Of powder from the fire to
bis keg. which suddenly communities
ted With the latter, and sent the man
whirling into the air, and fortunate
ly let him down into the river,
where the water prevented him from
breaking any bones. and also reliey-
ed bis burns.
