OCTOBER.

Unop the brown and la Of hills
Tha haze lies soft and blue.
While mus are dropping thick and fast,
Where Summer Wild flowers grew
The Naples gold and crimson leaves
Like hlood-staincd banners gleStn-
And purple asters cpe then bloom
Beside each forest stream
The woods like some grand temple stands
Beneath the glowing skies,
White down the long elm aIsles, the haze
Like Stumbling iuceuse lies.
No organs deep majestic notes
Come peatinE on the All
No Cn6gaI strain triumphant noats
Along tncsc arches fair
No voice /. hesrd--uo sound, save but
The brooklel's tipping flow,
or wbisting quail in covered thick,
" here scarlet berries grow.
Petchauce some frightened rabbits tread,
Mly wake an echo there,
Or druwsy hum If honey bee
Fan on the dreamy air.
The suuflower and the golden red
Their gaudy hues unfold,
And seem MS ii some Midas touch
Had changed them into gold.
The grapes in purple clusters hang
Iphn tbs Clinging vine,
And in the orchard, mid the leaves,
The ruby apples shine.
But through the forests, Ger the hills
A Voice comes whispering lew
II murmurs Of the wintry winds
And OF the falling NOV.
The crimsoned leaves to each must fall,
And hreezes o'er them sigh
Oh! sad it seems thst aught So fair
should eycI fade on die.
We read on every falling leaf
This lesson most sublime.
That Resurrectun's holy power
Shall triumph over time.
For though the summer flower may fade,
The spring with sun and ram
Shall call them from the hill and vale
To bud and bloom again.

QUEBEC &C. E.), Oct. 15.-At 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, FIRE began in the house
of Mr.. Trudel, grocer, S.. Joseph street,
near Jacques Cartier market. Owing to
the early hour Of the morning, there were
but few people about. The wind which
had blown half q gale from the eastward
all night, had slightly abated still it ragged
with such fury IS to cause serious appre-
tensions. By the time the fire brigade
reached the scene, Trudeis house was en-
veloped in flames. The sappers were
already there, but there was some delay in
laying the hose and getting q force of
water, which was not remedied for nearly
an hour, enabling the fire to make rapid
progress. No less than ten or twelve houses
were on fire, and lumber and wooden sheds
on all sides ignited.
BY half past five, eighty houses, all
wooden, were in blaze, the flames, driven
by the wind, spreading in all directions.
At 6:3O over $50 houses were consumed.
The fire by this time ran along st. Joseph's
and Notre Dame des Angus to Junction
street and VALERIE street, carrying every
thing before it. The chu, Oh Of La Congre-
CATION stood in great danger, but Q sudden
clearing Of the wind saved it.
At IL o'clock the whole centre of the dis
trict lying between st. Sauver and Lower
streets. running parallel with the river, was
q barren waste. Having nothing to feed
on, it distributed itself in opposite direc-
lions, the wind increasing again, blowing
gusts from every direction. Three separate
confagraticns were observable at once st.
Sauvier Church, Dunn's soap and candle
factory, Ries' rope-walk, and other large
buildings were In flames. Along st. Waller
street, toward the toll gate and streets SUR
rounding the general hospital and convent,
another terrible fire was raging with even
greater fury. At Back Gro vn street and
along Prince Edward, Jesuit, and Ryland
streets, the flames were creeping back,
enveloping street after street despite the
almost superhuman efforts.
The condagration ceased about 5 o'clock,
when there was nothing more for it to feed
on. Moderate computation places the num-
Der Of houses destroyed at $500. Loss on
real property between $2,500,OOO and
$3 100000. The number Of persons rem
dered houseless is estimated at 5000.
The body Of q man burned almost to
crisp, was dragged out Of house ON st.
Waller street. The corpse could not be
recognized.
Sergeant Hughes, Of the Royal Artillery,
was blown up and badly burned, though not
dangerously. Lieut.. Douglas was severely
hurt by the falling Of building. Several
seaman received Commissions, but were not
seriously injured that We could hear Of.
Lieut.. Benn, Of one Of the regiments, had
his arm broken BY falling beam.
