Death Of the Flowers.
BY WIN. CULLEN BRYANT.

The melancholy days have come,
The saddcst OF the year,
OF waihng winds, and naked woods,
And meadows brown and scar.
Heaped in the holl0ws of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead,
They rustic to the eddying gust,
And TO the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wrens are flown,
And from the shrubs the lay,
And from the wood-top calls the crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Who're are the flowers, the iryoung flowers
That lately sprang and stood,
In brighter light and softer air,
A beauteous sisterhood?
Alas, they all are in their graves;
The gentle race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds,
With the fair and good of ours,
The rain is falling where they lie,
But the cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth
The lovely ones again.
The wind flower and the violet,
They persisted long ago,
And the briar- rose and the orchis died,
Amid the summer glow.
But on the hill the golden rod,
And the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sunAower by the brook,
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven.
AS falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone,
From upland, glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm mild day,
As still such days will come,
10 call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home;
When the sound of dropping nuts is heard,
Though all the trees are still
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the rill.
The south wind searches for the flowers,
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And signs to find them in the wood
And by the stream no more.
And then think Of one who in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up,
And faded by our side;
in the cool, moist earth we laid her,
When the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one SO lovely,
Should have life so brief;
Yet not unmcet it was that one,
Like that young friend of ours,
So gentle aud SO beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers.

THE TRANSCRIPT.
Maine Election.

The annual election in Maine for
Governor, members Of the Legislature
and County officers, took place on
Monday, and resulted in Republican
victory, although the majority for
Chamberlain. the Republican nominee
for Governor, is several thousand less
than last year The Boston Journals
Augusta correspondent says: ut IS
universally conceded even by Demo
Gratis, that the issues on which this
change Of votes has been effected, were
exclusively local, pertaining wholly to
the liquor Legislation Of last winter,
and it is now confessed by leading
Republicans that the prohibitory leg
islation now on the Statute book, is
not sustained by the public opinion Of
Maine, and cannot be enforced. a
very considerable section of the Re
publican party is hostile to If, and its
repeal or essential modification is free
" admitted. This refers especially to
the legislation of last winter which
contained some very extreme proyis-
ions, and not to the general prohibito-
ny law which has become part of the
public policy in Maine"
Local, and not national issues then
have led to the result of the election
which seems to afford so much en-
enlargement to the Democrats W.
believe that the people Of the State are
as much opposed to-day to the policy
of Andrew johnson as they were one
year ago; and they will so declare
when they come to vote at the next
presidential election. The Democrats
have labored this year with their usu
al zeal, while the Republicans mani
tested great apathy. Furthermore thu
Democrats were better organized thar
they have been for several years, anC
their whole strength was brough
out.
Chamberlain s maj ,rity will be abou
twelve thousand. Last year the tota
vote of the State was one hundred ant
eleven thousand. This year it is les
than one hundred thousand. Th
State Senate will consist of twenty
four Republicans and seven Democrat
"a Republican majority Of seventeen
The House will be largely Republican
The Democratic party, of course, ar
doing an immense deal of CROWN
over the Maine election, and we al
willing that they should derive all til
consolation they can. Their rejoicin
will be of short duration. The II,
publcans will be sure to make L
their losses when they have anoth
opportunity. and the questions to !
settled of national import.
