October strews The woodland Ger
With many brilliant color,
The world is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be dulleri
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf.
Sad thoughts and sunny weather;
All me this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season; this
The time when friends are flying.
And lovers now, with many kiss
Their long farewell are sigtlmg.
Why Is the earth SO gaily drest
This pomp that autumn bcareth.
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weareth,
Each one Of us. perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But now with boyish laughter,
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brows with silver laden:
But though this glen may st seek again
But never more maiden!
Nature perhaps, foresees that spring
Will touch her teeming bosom.
Aud that few months may briug
The bee. the bird, the blossom.
All these forests do not know
Or would less brightly witber-
The virgin that adorns them so,
Will never moro come ii.hcr.

The Rebel Fax BIZ,

The new Confederate income tax q
20 per cent. is in fact forced loan.-
The Richmond Eraminer thus discus
ses it,
"The bill proposes to require every
citizen to give the government one
fifth Of his gross income, and to receive
in acknowledgement eight per cent.
bonds Of the government. This is
neither a tax nor free loan, but en-
braces the worst features of both. OF
all loans those at eight per cent. are
the worst. OF all taxes twenty per
cent. gross income is the most oppres-
sivc. Congrese strikes " heavier blow
