Or. Moon Of falling leaves.
Sounding in my heart to-day
Are the echoes Of thy footsteps,
As thcu oldest swift away.
Short thy sojourn was among u,
But right busy hast thou been;
And Ger all the Earth around me,
or thy presence signs are seen.
Scattered over Mothrs Earth
Piles of crimson, gold and brown
Are the leaves from of the trecs,
That thy hand hath shaken down:
Thrown in strange fantastic figures,
Or ike graves, in heaps they lie;
Or carried on the Autumn wind,
Some 20 swiftly sailing by
Al their Summer glory takeni
Flung as worthless at their feet,
Gray and bare the trees are standing,
Ready for November's sleet;-
And they toss and beat their branches
'Gainst each other every hour;
And, oh. Moon Of falling leaves.
They are mourning at thy power.
Seen thy footprints are in cities,
Seen on every dale and hill,
Seen in every quiet church yard,
Seen on every stream and rill
Tho thou stayed not long among US,
Yet right busy was thy hand;
And the emblems of thy sojourn
Spread abroad Ger all the land.
Oh. Moon Of falling leaves
When again Earth feels thy tread
Shall / be among the living,
Or be numbered with the dead
Shall feel and see thy coming
With a living form and eye,
Or within the church yard lying
And thy figure fitting by.
All the sign my soul perceives,
On my grave the falling leaves.

An ILIINoIs PREACHER ARRESTED
AS AN ABouToSIsT IN TENNESSEE
We learn from the Mt. Morris (Ogle
county, Independent Watchman tha,
Rev. Samuel CARRIER. of that county
a preacher of the denomination Of
Tunkers. was arrested in Tennessee. a
short time since, under the following
lie went on a visit to
his old friends and acquaintances in
East Tennsss e, and while there was
solicited to preach, which he readily
agreed to, and in the ceurse of his
sermon incidently alluded to Freedom
in its broad sense. For taking such
liberties in a Slave State. he was
arrested and obliged to give bonds in
the sum Of $500 for his appearances at
Court:
Such conduct in Tennessee may be
all right, but it looks to us very much
like "Abridging the freedom OF
speech" The Rev. Samuel Galber
should have provided himself with a
pass" from Judge Douglas before he
went down into the land of promise.
Well. we suppose it is all right because
the good people of our glorious free
country did it; and if Mr.. CARRIER does
not like such treatment, if he gets
away alive he can leave our govern
ment But whatever he does, we hope
he will not say anything against the
manner we Americans have OF admin.

and sent his radiant beams to herald

him sink to rest when his labors were

EcclesiastIcaI COurt---First Baptist
Church.
TRIAL OF REV. j. II. GRAVES.

On Monday night last the Court convened
at the usual hour, and was opened by the
Moderator reading from the Bible and prayer
by the Rev. DIR. Howell.
The minutes of the former meetings still
being in an unfinished state, the reading OF
the record was dispensed with, and on mo-
ton, the Church proceeded in the considera-
ton of the third charge against Rev j. IL.
Graves. which is as follows:
'.In that he (Rev. J. r. Graves has uttered
and published in his said paper. against K b.
c. Howell. the pastor of this Church, sundry
foul and atrocious libels."
In behalf of the prosecution, Mr. Z. A.
Fuller read cOpious extracts from the Ten
nessee Baptist, published at different times;
the extracts being from the editorial columns
of that paper, and communications endorsed
by the editor.
The Moderator announced that the subject
was now open for discussion.
DIR. Howell reviewed the testimony at length
in defence Of his position.
No one appearing for the prosecutor, the
investigation of the third charge closed with
the remarks from DR.. Howell.
The question was then put to the Church,
and carried unanimously that Rev. j. K.
Graves was guilty of the third charge.
On motion the Court adjourned to meet
last night. when the fourth charge was con
sidered. Closed by prayer.
