Autumn and its Pleasures.

When, We are young, we think there is no
time like spring, and vote that it be the
choicest Of all the seasons Of the year. ., As
We mature and our personal experience
grows broad and deep, we think the autumn
is fuller OF delights than spring and sanimer
together. This is the most thOug time
in all the year. The influence of atmos.
phere and color and sun combine to develop
the soul in our dreaminess too delightful to

jects look distant, and their sharp outlines
are subdued In reaching the eye. Rural
charms especially, are more charming than
ever. The patient oxen, plodding home-
ward, with their loaded grains, whose yel-
low riches are to gil the granaries even to
bursting, never appear so attractive as now
The carly morning frosts lie white upon the
grass, and the falling leaves make q sad
music through the isles and arches Of the
woods. Such colors as drape the forests
and chequer the pastures and fame through
the fOnces and stone walls, psinters do not
produce at the end Of the pencil, and Tyrian
dyes do not parallel. We watch the squif'
rels racing among the branches and envy
them their lease Of Wild happiness. We 60

The enemy retired to Fl. Magruder, from which

Now. although a large portion of the pork cured

ter the rebels were driven from that State, last

all circumstances into consideration, the Ten

be taken into account this season, no more than
il was last season. by the trade. Leaving Ten

increase, in the other States. of | 1854 .7o7, which is
equal 70 a saade over 40 ITO per cent, and IL
Tennessee j. included. the increase Is equal to
slightly over 40 per cent. This is very remarka
BILE. and exceeds the estimate we made last Jan
uary by over 100 900 head, for we did include
TENNESSEE in that estimate.
With regard to the average weight and the
yield of'lard, we have the following results by
States. though we failed as usual to get the aver
age weights in MANY cases, and the yield OF lard,
in a still greater number of cases. but both were
