Summer and Autumn.


Gorgeous leaves are whirling down,
uumeward comes the scented hay;
Oer the stubble. sere and brown,
Flaunt the Autumn flowers gay:
All, alas!
Summers pass
Like our joys they pass awayl
Famed by many a balmy breeze,
In the Spring l love to lie
Meath the newly budded trees,
Gazing upward to the sky:
But. alas
Time will pass,
And the flowers Of Spring must diel
OFT my maiden sat with me,
Listening to the thrushs tone,
Warbled forth from every tree
Ere the meadow hay was mown:
But. alas
Summers pass
Now I wander all alone!
Love, like Summer time, is fair,
Decked with buds and blossoms gay;
But upon the Autumn air
Floats q voice which seems to say,
Lowers, alas
Also pass,
AS the Summers pass away!"

the Personnel of the New York
SOTOSIs.

The New York Evening Post OF the
% h ult., says pleasantly;
Oar fair friends OF the SorOsis at their
last regular meeting adopted 8 report
from the Com mittee on Art, which em-
bodies some very interesting statistics Of
the personnel of that organic alton. o.
how many members the Horosis consists
we are not able to say with any conf
dence OF accuracy, hut assuming the
number to be fifty, IA figure which We
are assured 1t does not eXceedl, we have
the curious result of large excess in
tne total membership OF capacities over
individuals; so that soma members
must be counted several times in the
enumeration. Thus taking fifty as the
full number, we have in the Sorosis six
artists or workers in art, twenty-five
authors, six editors, thirteen musicians,
one historian, eleven poets, nine teach.
ers and lecturers, eight well known phi
lanthrOpists, two physicians, four writers
on science and forty contributors to pc
riodicals-in all, one hundred and TWEEN
ty-twe profess iOnals, so to speak, which
involves the necessity of some ladies
having dual existence, or being yet
more pluripersOnal, if we may be allowed
the expression. AS to the contributors
to periodicals, we had supposed the
members Of the Sorosis were all such, to
a woman; and we are not G1ite pre-
pared for the humilistipg svowal that
only one historian illustrates their So
ciety. Bot 1t is cheering to know that
ia that wide intervening space which
lies between history and the mags mes,
they are doing great things for letters.
" Within the lsst ten years In America"
says the report, "a brigade OF young,
fresh, vigorous women (sjc) writers have
marched into the great army OF litera-
ture." Let US rejoice and tremble.

accommodations only on sufTerance. We
learn from the Syracuse Journal that the
! party which attends the "human veloci-
/ pede " consists Of seven gentlemen, all
sworn to expose any fraud on the part Of
/ Weston. II would have been well II
! they had exposed him for making any
attempt to walk q match. So far, he has
| failed about every time, and has con-
! spicuously failed in all his "big things"
! The San and Tribune alone keep him
alive, and if they would cease to follow
/ him around the world he would soon
/ have his quietus. Weston's pious letter
written before he tried his first walk
against time to Chicago, would be sug-
gestive reading about these days.
"A clever gentleman, and something
of wsg withal, fell a victim TO the wiles
of "John Barieycorn," and became "sea-
sick" if the HiberniRnism may be al
lowed, SO that he had to anchor in q
fence corner and "heave." Holding on
to rail, he poured forth q promiscuous
cascade " tremepjus to behold" Asym-
psthizing friend, while passing, feelingly
inquired:
" Hsllo, what's the matterP Are you
sick?"
The victim turned upon him look in
which was concentrated perfect ava
lanche Of reproschful contempt; and
blurred out between the intervals of his
eopious upheavsls,
"D-n you d'ser-po-ose II I'm p-u-
puking for fun?"
"A novel entertainment was lately
given at the City Terminus Hotel, Can

consisted wholly in the productions O. I

strate the prscticability OF importing |

quet, which was yet further made men,
Orable 10y fountains of rose water she'd

company of NJ. P.s, under-secretaries,

thusiss;ic Gsul, Colonel de Comic Clsr-

An " Employer of Women writes
to the Chicago Evening Post that it takes
about fiftesn good female type-setters to
DO the work OF twelve men. Five Wo-
men, he ssys, require as much oversee
ing as ten men: He cannot get extra
female help, be says, as he can male
help-by sending to the nearest drinking
saloon. Lastly, he complains that he
cannot swear at the women. Female
he insists, cannot compete
with men at the same prices. Therefore
they should not bind themselves to Ty-
biographical Union terms.

Historical Documents,

The Massachusetts, Historical Society
has recently come into possession Of
the manuscript papers of Chief ustice
Samuel Sewsll, who died in 1870. The
Boston Transcript says:
a the collection is Included the cele-
bratad Sswall Diary so often quoted
by historians and Rntiquarisns. These
papers have been In the possession Of
his descendants until the present time,
and have at last found their appropriate
resting place. We understand il is the
intention of the society to publish such
portions Of these papers as will interest
historical students.p
The record books in the Probate Office
of Judge White, in Hartford, Ct, are ths
oldest in the State, ard form an impor-
tant p srt Of the colonial history of North
ern Connecticut, though being mainly
Hartford records, The Q0RrGRt says:
I" The first three books are in the pos.
SCI sion OF the State Librarian all the
rest, up to the present TINA. ere satelv
deposited IN tue Probate Office. The
fourth book opens with the date Febru-
sry 8, 1877, and was kept by Capt. John
Allen, who was not only Town Clerk
and Probate Clerk, but general factOtum
for number of years. Society in those
days was more rigidly governed than
now, and close watch was kept upOR
private affairs, each irregularity being
promptly complained of and remedied
according to law. The Indians occupied
Dutch Point, and 1t was 8 source OF con-
siderable trouble to keep liquor away
from them, firewater' having q bad
effect upon them. They committed
maBY mi5demeanoTs, as the frequent ap-
e h
show. The whipping post was then in
its glory, and it stood in 'Gczzard's
yard which was located on what Is now
the lot lately purchased by the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company, On the corner
of Pearl and Trumbull streets. The re-
cords cover sll sorts Of doiDgs and mis-
doingS, as witness this action in fatality
case, which is to the point;
December 2, 'Sl.-Hhe underwater an
being ordered by authority to view the
body of Joshua Morrlce, Whoe came to
au untimely dea.h this day, and have-
ing viewed his body and inquired of
John Hunt, whoe was in company with
him at the time Of his death, doe find,
aud in our consciences judge, that the
sayd MOTrice, being near John MitchelPs
woodstock, did attempt to take down a
Icgy of wood from the stack, aud being
overpowered by the logg, he fell down
and the logg upon him, which was the
cause Of his DEATH
Here is another concerning what ap-
pears to have been a forbidden sin:
"' Joseph Barnard for breach of law,
going To the Indians to see them play
this summer past, is adjndged to pay a
fee of forty shillings according to law,
he being convicted by the testimony Of
John Church and John Wilson, and by
his own testimouie.'
While the records are In good state
OF preservation, they are being SO much
referred to by genealogical gatherers and
others, that 1t will be necessary to copy
them before long IL they are to be pre-
served.n

CAR YIvAL AT ROME.
AmtrlGan Ladies' and Their Toilet.

A Rome letter of the date of January
a, says: " We are, ss the French would
say, " e,l pIien carnival" This year the
carnival is short, SO there are bail every
night in the Roman houses, aud large
aud pleasant gatherings in many Ameri-
csn apartments. In general, compare
lively few Americans are invited to the
Roman balls; but at that of the Princess
Bsrbermi there were MANY Of our cOun.
trymen and women and English. This
lady is wonderfully amiable and less eX-
elusive than most Of the Roman nobility.
Her bail Vag adorned by perfect pha-
lanX of beauty imported from our side of
the Atlantic, and lost some Of the stiff
ness which charACterizes the entertain
ments of the Salyiati, Borghese, Rocca,
Jorgs PAlavacini, and Rospig i0si.
Among our fair eOuntrywomen l
noticed Miss w, of New York, in q
charmingly and elegant toilet, white
tulle, ioOped up with white roses. Miss
p, daughter of distinguished Southern
General. She ig still in mourning, and
her black tuIle dress shown off tCiareat sd
vsHtsge the stately young beau-y. Miss
Norsh d., of New York, who, as.usu 81, with
her sisters, surpassed in the richness and
elegance Of toilets all others, except as
to jewels; in these the l1rinciere houses
of tome are unrlFaled IN Europe. Dis
tinguished among the Roman aristOcracy
present was the Princess ROcca Gorga,
wife of the eldest son of Prince Orsini
These princesses are rarely native Ro-
mans, but German, Spanish, Hungarian,
Polish or + Elglish, generally heiresses,
the Roman princess seeking abroad the
wealth they do not find at nome; their
magnificent palaces, wonderful picture
galleries, and gorgeous jewels bringing
them no income, but, on the contrary,
requiring large expenditures to keep
them up, The bail finished with a
cotilliOn and cold supper.
The real carnival, SO called, begins on
Saturday, the S0th inst, and ends on
Ash Wednesday. In my next letter /
will endsavor to describe it.
