The Weather.


N. P. Willis in prose, or William Cullen
Bryant in poetry, wonld, were they sojourning
in Cairo, however much inspired, fall very
far short Of doing the weather justice did they
attempt it, The clouds which fit and sport
across the heavens, are mellow and soft, and
draw forth from the most stolid mortals express
sions of admiration and inspire them with feel
ings never before experienced. And our sun
sets, who can paint their grandeur rs the west.
ern horizon is, not tinted, but heavily laid with
gorgeous hues of crimson, purple and gold
And when the moon rises in all her splendor,
she does indeed look the very Queen.
IT'S true the roses have gone to sleep, trees
have cast off their leaves, and all emblems of
summer have departed, yet the balmy breath
of our November atmosphere more than COM
pensates for the fragrance Of flowers and in
viting appearance Of wooded walks. Summer
now rests, the leaves which have fallen arc but
the germs Of future frution, the roses which
have laid their heads will, if life be spared to
us, again greet our vision, but such autumnal
weather as we are now enjoying rarely visits a
people in any cline. IT'S rarely that one can
see so far through the ETHEREAL regions, that the
vision can penetrate so near the Eternal Throne.
Morbid indeed must be the instincts of the man
who can walk our streets at night without no
tcng the heavens resplendeut with charms,
the calm (not pale, buD bright moon beaming
upon him, and casting its refulgent rays upon
his halfway, and not feel impressed with the
grandeur oyerhanging him, and in his heart of
hearts feel sensible that above the open sky
there are myriads of angelic forms and a Great
1 Am shut out from mortal view by the silvery
clouds.
Of the twelve sister months of the year, none
are so tivifying to the mind, strengthening to
the system or. more pleasing to the senses
than is November. Nature then stands
forth without establishment, and all around
man are spread the emblems of both life and
death. The stars as they twinkle in the heavens
the sun as it ascends the eastern and des-
cends the western slopes of the horizon-the
moon as it lifts its round face and takes it's
| g gra nd ronnds''-the waters as they rush on
through river and streamlet-all those are en-.
brems of life, not only present but eternal. The
naked trees, the leafless rosebush, the shrivel-
ed shrubbery and the absence of birdlings-
those tell us of death. They are sermons de-
livered us by the Almighty, and we canuot turn
deaf ears thereto.
But few more days and November will
have left us, and changeable, tickle December
will be with US. The storm king will then
claim the reins of season, and drive us
through streets of snow, sleet and hail Let us
then enjoy the remaining days and nights
OF swee, November remaining for US, and pre-
pare ourselves for the dread coming of winter.

HowEs' CIRcUs.-An advertisement of this
paragon troupe, now performing in Mobile, ap-
pears in to-day's TINES. 1t is now universally
conceded that the TINES has larger circula-
ton on the line of the NJ. &. O. r. r. than any
other two newspapers published. Our re-
spected townsman, VIM. Barker, Esq, informs
us that on a late trip which he made over the
A. & o. r. r., the demand for the TINES
was greater than tho supply and though an1-
ious to secure a copy, failed, although each sue
ceeding week the order from Mr. Greene, the
agent, is increased. And not only are passen.
gers on the road clamorous for it, but those
living along the line are eager to receive it,
and we are in constant receipt Of letters en-
closing subscription money, from citizens along
The line from Columbus. KY, to Mobile, Ala.
Mr. Howes, who has been long engaged in the
Circus business, and knows how best to use
printers irk, has become, from personal obser-
walton, cognzant Of the popularity Of the TINES
abroad, and takes advantage of such know.

PRoposALs.-In our advertising columns to-
day will be found very important advertise
inert, viz notifying all whom it may concern
that bids heretofore made and received by the
Treasury Department for raising wrecking,
and the delivery of sunken vessels, &C., on the
Mississippi river, have all been rejected with
the view Of receiving wider competition, and
that sealed proposals will be received at
the Office Of the Supervising General Agent, at
Memphis, Tenn, until the 18th day of Deem
Der next, and setting forth the points to be Oh
served by parties making proposals, and the
necessary form. Z. Bowling, the Assistant
Special Agent Of the Treasury Department and
Superintendent in charge is a gentleman of the
first water, and Col. Orme is too we'll known
to require endorsement at our hands. Impli-
cit reliance may be placed in the officers in
charge of the proposals, and fair chance will
be afforded all bidders.

TIMELr.-I-ast "Wednesday night just as our
typos were concluding their last telegraphic
"takes.n messengers from the Ladies' Fair
and Festival of the Roman Catholic Church,
assembled our stairs laden with good things.
Sticks were laid down anstanter, and the
good things aforesaid put down the hungry
mouths OF all whom it concerned. The ladies
,hereupon received the thanks of all hearts,
from the devil down to the Editor in Chief
Long may they have lunches to dispense to
hungry printers and editors.
