AUTUMN WOODS.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT,

Ere in the Northern gale,
The Summer tresses of the trees are gone,
The woods of Autumn, all around our vale,
Have put their glory on.
The mountains that infold,
In their wide sweep. the colored landscapes
round,
Seem groups Of giant Kings, in purple and gold,
That guard the enchanted ground.
Iroam the woods that crown
The upland, where the mingled splendOrs glow,
Where the gay company of trees look down
On the green fields below.
My steps are not alone
In these bright walks; the sweet southwest at
play, Ishown
Flies, rustling, where the painted leaves are
Along the winding way.
And far in Heaven, the while,
The sun that sends the gale to wander here,
Pours out on the fair earth his quiet smile
The sweetness of the year.
Where now, the solemn shade,
Verdue and gloom. where many branches meet;
So grateful, when the noon of Summer made
The valleys sick with heat?
Let in through the trees
came the strange rays; the forests depths are
bright;
Their sunny colOred foliage, in the breeze,
Twinkles, like beams of light.
The rivulet, late unseen,
Where pickering through the shrubs it's waters
run,
Shines with the image fits golden screen,
The glimmerings of the sun. ...4r
But meath yon crimson tree. :.
Lover to listening maid might breathe his flame,
Nor mark. within its roseate canopy,
Her blush of maiden shame.

Judge Douglas at Je ffescn.

While Judge Douglas was addressing the
people of Jefferson, on the occasion Of his
passing through that place on Friday last,
on his way to Fond du Lac, quite large
delegation from the country was ushered
into the crowd, and made its way up to the
front of the stand, bearing banner inscribed
with the name of abraham Lincoln" and
having pair of boots represented upon it,
with the figures 5000; the whole of which
was conceived from the charge made against
Mr.. Lincoln, that, while he was in Congress
in l8478, be presented bill of $27,O0 for
three pairs of boots which he was said to
have obtained at the credit of the general
government. Be this as it may, we do not
propose to discuss the matter here. Mr..
Douglas, having glanced upon the banner,
stopped suddenly in his speech, and with
evident indignation ordered the bearer of it
to take it out of the crowd His language,
as near as we can now recOllect it, was
l wish you would take that thing away. 1t
infers petty slander against man for whom
l have respect. You may rest assured that
nothing occurred, as the representation on that
banner would seem to infer affecting the integ.
rity of Mr.. Lincoln. have known him. and he
was my neighbor for many years. He is
clever fellow. detest and abhor his political
principles, but have nothing to say against
bis personal character.
Would to Heaven that the Republican
party were as willing to do justice to Mr..
Douglas, as he is willing to do justice to
the Republicans In no instance has he
condescended to misrepresent the position
they occupy, nor misstate the principles they
advocate. He does not lower himself to
their level for the purpose of villiyipg, SLAM
dering, or treating them with abuse. His
course has been that of high-minded man,
digniied statesman, and a man of truth.
Let his opponents point to the first instance
of Misrepresentation by Mr.. Douglas, or to
the first act of injustice toward them. On
the other hand, Mr.. Douglas has been ira
duced, vili6ed, misrepresented and lied
about more than even Henry Clay was by
the Abolitionist in 1884. He has been
charged with every conceivable fault, and
his good name has been set up as target
for hirelings and base men to shoot at. Yet
it has not swerved him from the path of
duty, nor led him to indulge in like conduct.
His virtues as man, his honor and dignity
as statesman, and his self-respect for him.
self, have distinguished him from all his op-
ponents, and given him an influence that
cannot be destroyed. WIS.,

TIE LUCKY HAND.

III tell you the queerest thing that ever
happened to me iD business. One evening,
about twenty years ago, l Iwas. going home
along the City Road to my own house at
Pentonville Hill 1t was near the end of
December. l had staid balancing accounts
in my Office some time after the Stock Ex-
change closed. A frosty night, with half
fog in it, had fallen; and there was a rather
valuable pocket>book safely buttoned up in
the breast-pocket of my great coat, for
had that day sold five hundred Western
Canal shares, which, in common with all
such property, the railways were rapidly
bringing down. They belonged to one of
my best customers, had been advantageously
disposed of, and l was carrying home the
bank notes, thinking my own house was a
safer place than the Office, as the gentleman
had not pleased to mention his banker.

was engaged in the latter occupation
within sight of that notable inn, the Angel,
Islington, when I became conscious of being
watched and followed by man who seemed
determined to keep bis eye on me. His
dress and appearance belonged to the shab-
by-respectable; himself and everything
around him looked as if they had seen better
days. His figure was tall and thin, bis face
long and sharp; his hair was perfectly gray,
yet felt convinced that his years did not
much exceed my own, and was then on
the sunny side OF fifty. 1t was strange, too,
that be made no attempt at concealing bis
pursuit of me; indeed, there was nothing sly
or cunning looking about the man. Still,
had my pocket-book to take care Of; and as
we reached quieter part of the road skirt

Works, resolved to let him know be was
observed, by turning abruptly and facing
him in the full light of a street lamp.

says:
Vague stories have been told of the
young Baron's attachments in this country.
The latest of these finds its scene in this ci-
ty. Why the Prince moved from his mag.
nihcert quarters in the private box to the
balcony center, was not understood. 1t
was, in fact, speculated upon to consider
able extent as singular and somewhat er-
ratio whim. 1t is now said that there was
a lady in the case, and as follows:
Miss S., superbly attired and very beau.
tlful, had taken balcony seat not far dis
thant from the centre of the tier. When
Albert Edward came in, she was the first
one to rise to the third of Patti, in "God
save the Queen" and scarcely had the cho.
rus sunk and the curtain fell, before her
glass was leveled at his young highness. So
continued, indeed, were her attentions that
the Prince was attracted, and to be at
tracted toward Miss s., was to be infatu-
ated. Thenceforth, in every pause of
Martha" the Prince glass was leveed at
Miss S. The Duke of Newcastle, to whom
such lrailties on Albert Edwards part had
become things of ordinary occurrence, sug-
gested that seats had been provided for the
Royal party in the centre of the tier. Then,
at Albert Edwards request, the Duke and
suite removed. 1t is said that the Prince
visited Miss S., on the night in question, at
the invitation of her father, leading cit
izen. 1t is moreover said that Mr.. and
Miss S., are the only Phiadelphians beyond
the Mayor, who have been honored by the
royal grasp, and that, after delightful half
hour passed in the lady's company, the
Prince left with her jeweled locket, and
expressed his choicest terms of admiration.
Is all this fiction? So we have heard the
tale.

Prince

Another View Of the Ball to the
Prince.
There is little doubt that the great ball
in New York, to the Prince, was in reality
a great humbug, and for reasons set forth
in the NeaUs as follows:
If the Princes Grand Uncle,
once known as the first gentleman in Europe,
had been present at the Academy of Music,
on Friday last, he would have praised Del
monico, and enjoyed the culinary bon bouehes
placed on his plate: But would the fat
friend of the Great Brummel have appreci-
ated the scraggy old women who thronged
around for dance with the youthful scion
of his house? Liberal as the Beau's friend
was as to the ripened charms Of forty, he
had also respect to that adipose quality in
feminine shoulders which be disliked at
tributed to his own august person. But

and withered the complexion, we fear that

BATH, Maine, April lS, 1859.
Prof o. J. Wood g. CO-Gents.: The letter |
wrote to you in 1856 concerning your valuable Hair
Restorative, and which you have published in this
vicinity and elsewhere, has given rise to numerous
inquiries touching the facts in the case. The nqu-
res are first is it fact of my habitation and name
ms stated in the communications second is it true of
all therein contaned third does my hair still con-
tnue to be in good order and of natural color? To
all can and do answer invariably, yes. My hair
is even better than in any stage of my life for forty
years past, soft, thrifty, and better colored
the same is true of my whskers and the only cause
why it is not generally true is that the substance is
washed off by frequent abluton of the face when,
if care used by wiping the face in close con-
nection with the whiskers the same result will fol-
low as the hair. ! have been in the receipt of a
great number of letters from all parts of New Eng
land, asking il my hair still continues to be good;
as there is so much fraud in the manufacture and
sale of the various compounds well as this, it has
no doubt been basely initiated and used, not only
without any good effect, but to absolute injury.
! remain dear sir, A. &. RAYMOND.
The Restorative is put up in bottles Of three sizes,
viz large, medium and small; the small holds a
pint and retails for 81; the medium holds at least
30 per cent. more in proportion than the SMALL and
rotails for 50; the large holds quart 40 per cent
more in proportion and retails for 50.
