How Long VIII These Hard Time
Last


Last
Scarcely a day passes that this question is
not put to us, and some times we hear it fire.
quently in the same day. To those who are
interested in getting clear and satisfactory
answer, We commend the attentive perusal Of
the article headed Commercial Symptoms
which we copy from the Nov York Tribune.
The general aspect Of commercial Affairs
throughout the country is therein clearly, and
We think truly exhibited. II any Of our
readers can draw from this view any encour-
agemen. to hope for speedy solution Of our
difficulties, until Congress shall change our
revenue system, ii is more than we can do
And aside from this, from what source can
We expect relief? Is there any special cause
Of limited operation, which can possibiy work
to the benefit Of this regionf Are we not all
sailing in the same boat with the rest OF the
nation, subject to the same influences, affect
ed by the same storms, and dependent upon
the same sources Of relief?

THE AUTUMN LEAVES ARE FALLING

- - - 4 y - ~ Inn bS iAsA@
The autumn leaves are falling
Falling al. the day,
The summer birds no longer sing,
They've all gone away;
No longer III the mossy dell,
The violet rears its head;
The meadow is no longer green,
It's yerduc all is dead.
The frost has nipt the flowers
That in the valley grew,
And like the summer hours,
They've faded from our view.
The autumn winds are signing
A dirge for the dying year;
1t sounds like the stihed mourning,
Of friends Ger the parting bier.
A melancholy sadness,
Casts It's shadows Ger the mind,
Yet in this universal gloom,
New joys We still may find.
Though Borcas through the forests howl,
And strip the woodlands bare,
The breath that blights our summer joys
Brings pleasures just as rare.
For harkl upon the mountains brow,
The huntsmam winds his horn,
And down the dell, with deaf ming yell,
The rapid chase is borne:
Along the rugged, steep hillside
The changing hoof resoundS,
Whilst echo hings from every crag
The music Of the hounds.
Then will change my mournful song,
For one Of livelier lay,
And join the jovisl hunting throng,
With hark. hark. away;
Let Borcas through the forests howl,
AMI strip the woodlands bare,
The breath that blghts our summer joys
Brings pleasures just rs rare! Br'sF
