Approach OF Autumn.
ny THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
The heat has abated
Ten or fifteen degre 3;
Our lungs are dilated
And soothed by the breeze,
The zephyrs are playing
The duce with the girls,
Their robes disarranging,
Untwisting their curls.
Like blghted affections,
The leaflets fall iowc;
Or chaner
From yerdant 10 t..
The Summers last blossoms
Ave faded and sere;
Aud rabbits and po sums
Will shortly appear
finn right in my guessing,
These signs signify
That time is progressing
Aud Autumn draws nigh,
Let it come, saith my carol;
Bennett keeps at Tower Hall,
Lots of splendid apparel,
Fit for Summer or Fall.

Through the swamp, among the serpen

with difficulty made their way to the
banks of the smaller Hachie. Here
they constructed raft of rails, and pad

side of the river they met new trials
and new discouragements, but on they
made their way, through water and mud
much of the way to their arms, till at
last they arrived at Brownsville, where

Guerre, four in number, testified posi-
lively that the prisoner was their broth

been upon the psrson of Guerre. The
result Of this trial seemed TO have turned
upon two apparently trivial facts.

were concluded, however, the real Mar

Even then, Du Tilh persisted in lis
former assumptions, declaring his oppo-
nent TO be the impostor, and strangely
enough, was able to give better ac-
count of Queries artecedents than even
Guerre himself; while the numerous
witnesses were still divided in their
opinions as to which was the real Martin.
To end the story, he was finally convict
ed and when he found that his execu
ton was inevitable, he confessed that on
returning from the camp in Picardy. he
had met with certain OF Queries friends,
by whom he was mistaken for him, and
who, in the course Of numerous CONVEX

personal particulars concerning Guerre
his wife, and their two families, as well
as their neighbors in Biscay, that pos
sessing very retentive memory, and
assured of the strong resemblance, he
felt confident of successfully personating
him, and thus securing the comforts OF
a home and the means of livelihood
He was eventually hanged and burned
before the house Of Guerle.
