The Election 10 Asbtsbula on Tuesday

The Election 10 Ashtabula on Tuesday

tested as we sometimes see such occas'

elections usually inspire. The friends Of the

ton, and their vote is indicative OF their want
Of energy. On the contrary, the adversary,
was enabled to bring all its elements into activ.
ity, and besides this, the depletion peedful for
keeping up the forces in the fold, has almost
wholly been sustained by the friends OF he
Union. This 60 doubt will supply that which
is wanting to give the vote of our township its
proper proportions. While there has been de-
crease in the gross vote, there has beon an iu-
crease in the Copperhead vote over that cast
for the arch.traitor last fall. The range of the
Union ticket was Eve below that cast for Judge

mourners when Summer flowers are dead
The bee that sang so merrily IN Spring,
now fills the air with contented happy
hum as she sits by her store. The cold
clear moon shines with more ETHEREAL
light. as she shows where the darkness is,
and spreads her soft beams Ger nature re-
posing, like the light of other days shin
ing upon hearts it cannot warm.
And Though the breeze is frought with
sadness, and sigh of sadness fills the
humid air, and each morning finds thy
lowly face all bathed in tears; these are
the lovely penciled shades that give bear-
ty to a picture. without which the finest
tin's would be insipid.
Thou art lorely, 0, most glorious Au-
tumn! Thou clothcst thy children with
beauty, and teachest the great end Of
I life. For soon dark clouds aud drifting
showers will lower o 'er natures changing
face, and rob the thick plumcd forests Of
their gorgeous hues, and the earth of her
mantle, and we take up with the sad
strain,
(" The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year.
Or wailing winds, and naked woods,
And meadows brown and scar"

When next thou CONTEST. gentle Autumn

next thou comest, may be sleeping be.

head, while signing breczes breathe a
plantive straiu, as they twinc a reath
round my grave. A fitting tribute tc
that withered form which will heed no re.

Resurrection, when this mo,tai shall pu,
