FALL OF THE LEAF. The seasons Of

FALL OF THE LEAr.-The seasons of
the fall of the leaf has come again,
with all it's sad and salutary teachings.

not reminded that such is human life :?
Even as leaf when the fross has
dried up its sap, and its stems ding
no more to the parent tree, SO is. our
life. 1t may be green to-day and
float gaily upon the summer breeze,
but the frosts of death are gnawing at
its stem, and we know not if it shall
wave there tomorrow, or be driven
away by the wintry blasts to eternity.
Happy are we, if Nature preaches not

warm friend in her mother, who, as the
slang expression has 1t, ''had been there"

caused him to stand aghast. Tall
swearing was done for half all hour
then came reflection, and anger was ar.

Return Of B!shOy Hopkins from
the What he saw There.
From the Church Journal of this Friday)
The Presiding Bishops tour to
Louisiana and Kentucky was Of more
than common Importance in many
points Of view. 1t was the first time
that any Presiding Bishop had been
requested to travel to such great dis
lan,~- +" thc personal performances OF
his duty as Consv.. tor. and ia both
cases there was an earnest lclucst Tor
his presence, both from tee Bishop elect
and from the Standing Committee OF
the Diocese. Then again it was the
first visit of any Of our Bishops, since
the war, to any Of the Gulf Diocescs,
and might thus be well regarded MS the
visible realization OF the restored union
Of the Church. 1t was received with
the most generous warmth, and with an
Overlooking cordiality which touched

would ardly be in good taste to spread
before the public. Everywhere Church,
men seem disposed to thank God and
take courage, and ace awake to the
glorious opportunity Of the CHURCH,
now so visible to all sides.
The one grcrt drawback is the want
of means and men. The failure Of
both the corn and the cotton crops,
through large regions of the South,
make the pccuniary prostration deeper
than ever. Wide fields of blighted
corr and stuntad and dried-up cotton,
met the eye on every side. Here and
there were ruins Of the war;-low brick
pillars on which extensive buildings
once rested, which have left only q few
charred fragments behind. jackson,

But everywhere the greatest cXertions

helps the good work. We earnestly

empty, and our progress in developing

The Louisville Journal, referring to
the late Mr.. John Van Buren,, says!

His faculties were solid and bright,
quick and strong, comprehensive and
flexible; and they were poised like the
rocking stones Of the Druids, which
the zephyr may set in motion, but
which the tornado cannot overthrow.
No man Of intellect ever stood more
GrmIy or more lightly on his faculties
than John Van Buren, His power and
nimbleness were alike extraordinary.
His mind resembled the trunk of an ell

pick up the pin of a repartee- or up
