seduction of Miss Lambert, wss taken out
on Friday for trial, when the prosecuting
attorney decided that under the affidavit
he could not make State case out of il,
as the young lady was over age. Judge
Lynch then undertook to prosecute the case
in his peculiar style, 10y procuring a sur
geon aud assistants, with ropes, &c Bet
ter counsel prevailed, and be was given a
few hours to take his departure The rev
orend scoundrel had the impudence then to
ask leave to remain over the Sabbath and
preach to his gation-saying he
could explain the matter. Judge Lynch
again "pUt in" and he was promised new
suit Cf clothes all of one pattern and style,
and primitive horse to ride, led 10y four
assistants. He concluded he bad better
make his exit On short notice, and took the
hack for the railroad, amid the jecrs of the

OCTOBER.

What Joy is this which thrills US
With unspeakable delight?
What benison which fills us
To forgetfulness Of pain2
What stimulus is nerving US to battle for the
Right,
As when in hopeful spring-sime we tracked its
beacon light?
Whence do our wasted energies a newborn
force attain?
October, blest Of all the gods and well-beloved
of men,
Is ruling with royal right the willing world
again!
What though NOvember's sleeping breath
May stir the quickening gale
What though a whispering North-wlnd saith,
"Your streams will enchain"-
What though some far-Off tufts of snow may
chilling life exhale;
While splendor, wealth, and beauty with radi-
anee fill the vale,
We dare not by prophetic woe our heritage
profane,
But yield to glad October, who garlands hill
and glen,
Crowned with gray Bacchante's crown, and
throned for US againl
Who calls these ''melanchOly days,
The saddest of the year?"
Who sings in minor tones of praise
For Autumn refrain?
Who, disenthralled from Summer, her wan
face lettering near,
But triumphs Ger his late divorce in joyance
all sincere,
And springs, with heart unburdened, on the
richly loaded vain
Of her who wields the 'golden-rod," and
sways the hearts of men,
Wreathed in iridian splendor-magni6cen
again!
Her gracious hand extended,
She bids US cease from care,
And feast, loves labor ended,
On goIden-dropping grain.
Our souls have but to open wide to charms SO
debonair,
And drink the ruddy wine of life from lips It's
ours to share;
Ayl revel in the joyousness of glowing mount
and pain,
Aaame with bright October's smile-brighter
and dearer when,
Turning her crimsoned cheek to 90, the pale
months come again.
