NOVEMBER.

The three months of August, Septem-
her and October were a scourge to the
city of Memphis An epidemic walked
our streets and slew hundreds OF our
people. We all thought that If the cool
season would only come, we should re-
sumo once more the march of life over
the wrecks of death then heaped around
us. But the moments paid no heed to
the prayer of broken hearts, and pitied
not the white fear that sat upon the
brow of beauty, of youth, Of manhood
and of age. Slowly, to the toll OF iu-
neral bells, they marched. The sun
beamed flames when the clouds did not
pour down their hot floods. The doctors
told MS that they could smell cholera IN
the districts ravaged. Our streets were
white With lime, and resembleda Decem-
Der frost The timid fancy-and who is
not timid in the midst Of an epidemic ?
could discover the spectre Of death IN
the air, in the clouds, and in the very
beams of the sun. "Ohr said friend
10 us, "if we could only escape into No
vember, only see its first sun rise, and
feel the exhilarating effects of its cool
air, how happy we should be
That sun rose upon us this morning
1t looked upon no epidemic, but city
buoyant with health, and ringing with
the many tones of commerce. Color has
come again to Me cheek, courage to the
heart, and hope to the soul. The winds
are fresh and reviving, for they blow
over early SHOWS and bring the frost on
their wings They embrown the forests
and scatter the leaves, those emblems of
human life, to the ground. 1t
is the time for birds, for poin-
tiers and fowling- pieces. 1t is the
time for fishing, for drawing from the
rivers and lakes the perch, the silver side
aud trout. 1t is the time for deer, and
huntsmen aud hounds, when the woods
are in an uproar with music from many
throats, mingled with the keen crack of
the rifle. We yesterday saw a red fox,
wild as his own wild haunts, dragged
along Front street. The circumstance
reminded us of days long dead and
buried, when we were not revolving IN
weary circle of editorial life, but out
under the stars and over the forests and
fields sweeping ON to the music OF
melodious pack in full cry. All, there
are memories that come back in beauti-
ful procession from the long ago TO the
spirit, and though it be worn and weary
with the vicissitudes Of life s battles, make
it hutter again with pleasure. November
brings them, for it is in the Autumn the
world is most beautiful and the spirit
most elastic. Ii is the month OF that
millennium of nature-the Indian sum
mer-the beautiful vale betwixt the barn
ing nights of Summer and the icy coast
of Winter. Does not each heart to-day
breathe forth welcome to November
