THE LAST ROSE OF AUTUMN.

Fair queen Of the garden hail thee with pride.
As thou bloom'st in thy bower like a beautiful
bride;
And though storn-elouds are round thee, and Au-
tumn winds chill
All alone in thy beauty thou blossometh still.
The wild bee sips dew from thy sweet lips no more,
The kiss Of the humming bird now, too, Is o'er:
Thy buds are all blghted thy green leaves are sere
Oh last rose Of Autumn, why tarriest thou here ?
Shall leave thee to scatter thy fragrance around
And strew thy young leaves on the cold frosty
ground
No III pluck thee, and bear thee, to elimes far
away,
"a Where the night only draws thin veil Ger the
day"
And there thou wilt bloom IN the halcyon grove.
Where the nightingale MARBLES his sweet lay of love
Till transported at last to fair Paradise bowers,
Where again thou wilt reign fairest queen of the
flowers. SH

supporting Bel and Everett at the last Presi-
Dental election. and now belonging to the
" Conservative Union wing of the party sup
porting Seymour for Governor of that State
in reply to an article in the Times, thus states
the objects the Opposition have in view;
1st To provide brains TO carry on the war.
in which, on the part of the Administration
there has been an admitted most amentable
deficiency
%. To expose the cheat of about 100000
men (see Cameron's report on the army list
paid for with never over 100000 or $50 600
in the field
Sd. To tear up and break open the corrupt
jobs ard contracts which have unnecessarily
tripled the expenses of this war, and which
have thereby saddled an immense debt upon
the people and their posterity
4th. To sweep of out of the army about
half of the mere political generals, who are GO
ing about the country showing their stars"
when, if they were good for anything, they
would be in the army but because they are
not good for anything the General in Chief
will not give them commands in the army.
9th. To carry out, and to indorse, in pripci-
pie, and substance the solemn pledge OF Con
gress, July, 1861, passed almost unanimously.
Resoiced, That the present deplorable civil
war has been forced upon the country by the
disunionists of the Southern States, now in
arms against the Constitutional Government,
and in arms around the Capital that in this
national emergency Congress, banishing all
feelings of mere passion and resentment. will
recollect only its duty to the whole country,
that this war is not waged, on their part, in
any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose Of
conquest or subjugaton, or purpose of over
throwing Or interfering with the rights or es
tabished institutions Of those States, but to
defend and maintain the SUPREMACY of the
Constitution, and 10 preserve the Union, with
all the dignity. equality and rights Of the seve-
raj States unimpaired aud that as soon as
these objects are accomplished the war ought
to cease
9th. To restore, therefore, the Constitution
as it is, and the Union as it was, with the Ju-
dietary as part of the Government and there
fore to vindicate the supremacy Of the Consti-
tution4
We mean to resist all attempts to subvert
the Government, North and South and we
believe that the only way to do it. North, is
by an utter change at the balloi-box, of the
men who know not how either to carry on war
or to restore peace; South, By the certouch-
box, but with the Constitution accompanying
that cartouch- -box-the sword in one hand and
the olive branch in the other"

W0MAN---1S62.
NIMsHEw, Nov. %, 1862.

As though no shade of hnman wrong fell darkly on
their beauty,
And all men walked in brotherhood the shining
ways of duty,
The blessed summer days glide by in calm and
sweet succession,
God writes on Natures palace walls no curse
against oppression.
The strong man arms him for the fight: he hears
the bugle calling;
And while between the patriot shouts her tears
have time for falling,
Pale woman plies the threaded steel. nor shapes
her lips to singing,
Bat still with every stitch she draws the pearls of
prayer is stringing.
She thinks of those whose wounds are fresh; of
those in death-sleep lying,
Whose brows of youth and manhood won their
brightest crowns in dying;
She thinks of others brave and true, hid in the
smoke Of battle,
Where bayonets gleam, and cannon roar and bal
lets hiss and rattle.
She Shudders while the words of fate along the
wires are chasing,
may be tracing;
Her heart grows faint; She lifts her hands in an
guished imploration;
God save my soldier :" first she prays, and then,
God save the nation =
And when she moans The very thought of loss
doth overcome me-
Crying: If it be possible, oh, let this cup pass
from me.''
God chides her not if, choked with sobs, she adds
to her petition,
But brokenly Christ's after words of meekuess and
submission.
He saw her pale with victory in the dark hour of
trial.
When Self lay slain, and sorrowing love was fetter-
ed with denial
And the Divine One who alone can clearly read
the human,
Traces the hero's autograph through tearblots
of the Woman.
