An Autumn Song.

No clouds are in the morning sky,
The vapors hug the stream
Who says hat life and love can die
In all this northern giesml
At every turn the naples burn,
The quail Is whistllng fIee,
The partridge whirs, and thefrosted burra
Are dropping for you and me.
Ho. hiiiy, no heigh o
lilly no,
In the clear October morning.
Along our pa.h the woods are bold,
And glow with ripe desire;
The yellow chest nut showers its gold.
The sumacs spread their fire;
The breezes feel as crisp as steel,
The buckwheat tops are red;
Then down the lane, love, scurry again
And over the stubble tread
Ho hiliy, no! heigh OF
lilly hoi
In the clear October. morning.

ANOTHER MYSTERY ABOUT BYRON.
The writer of an article in Temple Bar
for June, in which the crime charged by
Mrs. Stowe upon Lord Byron seemed to
be limited at, has second article in the
October number, in which he says:
1t has been supposed that in the paper
in the Temple Bar magazine for last June,
it was intended to charge Lord Byron
with the crime which Mrs. Stowe imputes
to him. This is a misapprehension which
has arisen from too great success in the
labor to be obscure. Such an offense was
not, and is not, believed to have been the
cause of irrevocable separation. Lord
Thurlow's argument in the House of
LordssRas mentioned to show that there
were cases in which woman might not
be reconciled to her husband. When it
was added" It would be worse than use
less to speculate upon the precise offense );
it was probably known only to them
selves Lord and Lady Byron, and to
those two or three, or perhaps four, per-
sons (Sir Samuel Romilly, DR.. Lushing-
ton, Mrs. Clermont, and pehaps, at later
time, Lady Noel), to whom, seeking pro-
lection, it had been divulged by Lady
Byron crime alleged by Mrs. Stowe
the dark catalogue.
The purpose of this second paper is to
show from Byron's own words and actions
that he really entertained the highest
opinion OF his wifes truthfulness and
amiability; that whatever the ohargsmade

THE NEW SECRETARY OF WAR-The
new Secretary of War, Gen VIM NJ
Belknap, of Keokuk, Iowa, like most of
the selections Of President Grant for
cabinet positions, is man who has here
tofore been little known to the public, in
civil life at least, and in reference to
whose antecedents most people have to
make inquiry. With view to answer
ing these inquiries we have only to say
that he is about SO years of age, gradu-
ate of Princeton College,, a lawyer by pro-
fession, and q man of much promise and
ability. At the outbreak of the rebellion,
he entered the service in one of the Iowa
regiments in subordinate position, but
like the great chieftain who now calls
him to participate in the councils of the
nation, and preside over one of its most
important bureaus, be rose rapidly, and
long before the close of the war had at
tanned the position of Major General. He
served with distinction in Shermans cam
paigns in Georgia, aud commanded a
division in the fifteenth army corps in the
memorable "Marcisto the Sea-" After the
close of the war, he retired to private life.
where he remained for some time in the
practice Of his profession at Keol,uk, hay
ing filled no public office with the excep-
ton OF Collector of the First Revenue
District Of Iowa, and this hut for n few
months past. lie is in many respects Ike
the lamented Rawlins, whom he succeeds,
favorite friend of President Grant and
General Sherman and in his appointment
the public have the assurance that he, being
SO near of their mould and views, no APP
prehension need be entertained Of trouble
or differences in cabinet councils.

THE LAST FREsHET.-The freshet of
the past few days, though not as destruc-
tive as the one of few weeks since, has
been the cause of much trouble and loss
to the railroads in this State. The Win
ooski river was badly swollen, and much
damage done by it on the Vermont Cen
trail Railroad. At Ridley's Station, where
bridge was carried away last week, the
water rose SO rapidly as to wash ont many
of the new trestles which had been put
in for new bridge, and cause suspen-
sion of the work. For the past few DAYS,
travel over the road has been kept up by
carrying around" but this sudden rise
of water has put stop to even this mode
OF travel. A sad accident, resulting in
the drowning Of two men, occurred at
this bridge on Wednesday afternoon.
Three men, railroad employees, undertook
TO cross the current in fat boat, and had
about accomplished their intentions, when

NAPOLEON AND CUBAN AFFAIRS
The Madrid correspondent of the New
York Tribune, speaking of the interview
between the Spanish General Prim and
Louis Napoleon, concerning the affairs OF
Cuba, was uncommouly unsubstantial and
inconclusive. Prim expressed curiosity
as to whether France would assist Spain
should there be difficulty with the United
States, in consequence Of the latter's re-
cognition of the Cubans as belligerents,
to which the Emperor dryly replied tina,
Spain left France alone in Mexico; adding,
after moments silence, during which
the Catalan General was allowed to draw
the natural differences from this answer
to his question, that, in his opinion, Cuba
would be inevitably lost to Spain.

the present, and a great delay to bushes
and travellers caused thereby.

of fire was given by Mr.. Bennett, porter
at the Central House, who, while on bis
way from the hotel to the depot, discov-
cred bright fame in the main entrance
of Bates new hotel. The alarm attracted
the attention of Messrs. John and Albert
Landon, who were then in front of the
building, on their way home. They at
once burst open the doors, and rushing
up stairs, found large dry goods box,
which had been partially filled with OIL
and paint rags, by workmen on the build
ing, in flames. They at once seized 1t
and carried il to the street, where 1t
made handsome bonfire. IL fortunately
was discovered in season to prevent any
further damage. Spontaneous com bus
