IN AUTUMN.

The year grows splendid on the mountain
Now fingers long the warm and gorgeous
light,
Dying by slow degrees in the deep.
Delicious night.
The fatal triumph of the perfect year,
Rises the woods magnificent array;
Beyond the purple mountain lights appear
And slope away.
The elm, with musical, slow motion, laves
His long. 1.-THE branches on the tender air,
While from his top Of gray, Sordello waves
His scarlet hair.
Where Spring first hid her violets meath the
fern,
Where summers fingers opened, fold. Oh
The odorous. wild, red rose head, now burn
The leaves Of gold.
The loftiest hill-the lowliest Towering
herb
The faire>t frost of season and Of cline
All wear alike the mood of the superb
Autumnal cline.
Now nature pours her last and noblest wine
Like some Bacchante; beside the o. ing
streams
Reclines enchanted day. wrapped in divine,
Imprisoned dreams.
But where the painted leaves are falling fast,
Among the wales, beyond the iarthest hill,
There sits a shadow-dim, and sad, and vast,
And fingers still.
And still we hear voice among the hills,
y voice that means among the haunted
woods,
And with the mystery Of sorrow fills
The solitudes.
For while gay Autumn gids the fruit and
leaf.
And doth her fairest festal garments wear,
Lo! Time, all noiseless. in his mighty shesf
Binds up the year.
The mighty shcaf which never is unbound
The reaper whom your souls beseech in
vain
The loved, last year, which never may be
found
Or loved again.

CORK AND CORK TREES.

A species Of oak (quercus mber),
which is native Of the south OF Europe
or north Of Africa, especially Spain and
Portugal and Algeria, has a peculiar
habit of producing an outer bark of
fungous appearance, which cracks, and
is thrown off in great flakes. This is
cork, and the tree from which it comes
is called the cork oak or cork tree. 1t
is strictly an oak, not Of great size,
generally twenty to forty feet high,
much branched, with evergreen leaves,
which are eatable, and which resemble
chesnuts in taste. The cork material
is the spongy cellular tissue forming
the outer bark, which has ceased to
have any vitality, and has become an
incumbrancc to the tree, even before it
is ready to fake off Of itself. 1t can
be peeled off therefore year or two
before dstention would burst it of, and
this is done where cork is regularly
gathered for the market. Longitudinal
and transverse missions are made to
the proper depth, each piece is then
cut away from the tree with curved
knife with two handles. The operation
when performed with proper care, SO
far from being injurious, promotes the
health of the tree, which may be thus
peeled, at intervals of six or eight years,
TOR hundred to one hundred and fifty
years. In Spain and Portugal, which
chiefly supply the world with cork, for.
ests of the cork oak are frequently
planted for the production Of cork.
The tree is occasionally planted in the
south of England, but the climate is
not sufficiently warm to be favorable to
its growth.
The pieces of cork, as they come in
sheets of bark from the tree, are
soaked in water, pressed fiat, dried, and
specifically charred, to remove super
fetal impertections and conceal blem-
ishes, and are then packed in bales tor
the market. Before cutting, if it is
found that simple pressure has not suf-
ficiently fattened it, it is heated on the
convex side, and the contraction thus
produced straightens it. 1t is then cut
into slips, aud these slips into spares,
according to the required size Of the
corks.
Chambers Encyclopedia gives the
following description Of k-cutting;
The corks are rounded by the cork
cutter by means Of broad sharp knife;
the cork is held in the left hand, and
rested against block of wood, and the
knife pushed forward, and at the same
time its edge is made to describe . cir
cular curve by skilful turn Of the
wrist The knife requires continual
sharpening; the workman has board
before him, on which the knife is
rubbed on each side after ercry cut.
Many attempts to cut cork by
machinery have been made, but oil
have failed, owing to the necessity Of
continually sharpening the cutters;
for it is q curious fact, that 80 soft .
substance as cork blunts the tools used
in cutting it far more rapidly than do
the hardest or toughest Of metals the
tools used for cutting them. A cork
cutters knife requires sharpening every
second ; while the tool that 10 used for
planning, turning, or boring steel will
work continually for hours vithesG

The public are already informed that a little

Mr. Leib, of Quincy, ILL.,, whose disappearance
from his home, about thirteen months ago. has
oacahlpned great distress to his parents and
awakened much interest and sympathy. through
ON Tie country. The father was telegraphed
70 TO come on, and last evening he arrived at
New Castle.
The news of his coming created general ex-
cltement IN town, aud large crowds of excited
persons, men, women and children, gathered
around the residence of Sheriff Armstrong, where
the boy mas been staying, Sympathizing moth

Mr. LelO wonld recognize his BOY, was shown.
THE INTERVIEW INSIDE.
Mr. Leib is pleasant, intelligent gentleman
lie was naturally laboriug under excitement
which he strove in vain to suppress. He was
confronted with the boy in the parlor, and
scanned him, anXiously. Ii must be remember
ed that he had not seen the missing boy for
more than year He was unable to say wheth-
or or not tins was his son. He could not recog.
ME him, but in the perturbation OF the mo-
ment was unable to say il was not the
ton and this greatly disappointed Mr. Leib,
and seemed to compel an unfavOrablo couclu-
sion in his mind. The marks upon the boy
correspondent with those OH Freddy. Two vac
clnation sears, two 'crowns' on the head, blue
eyes, light hair, age, and general appearance
are substantially the same in both. The boy was

GENERAL D1sTRUsr AND SUSPENSION, PENDING
THE PREstDENIIAL ELECTION -GREELEY RE-
dARD4D AS A MOST DANGEROUS EXECUTIVE.
Tho Philadelphia correspondent Of the Cor
mautown Tetgraph, referring to the present
condii ion and prospects of trade in that city,
says -
There is not much business stiriing in the
city, owing to the suspension usual to the Pres
idontial year, and the approximations entertained
as TO the revolutionary financial views, of Mr.
Greeley and their inevitable results should he
unfortunately become President. These appre-
henslons are real and quite general among
blukers and businessmen. Should, there seem
to be any probability of his election as Novenl-
Der appro aches, there Will undoubtedly be CON
siderable sales of Government bonds, al all
confidence in them would he impaired bv having
such man III power. This is not idle gossip or
conjecture. 1t ID u fact, and IN business cilces
the disastrous results are still more apparent
since revuslon ensuing upon Greeleys Wis
iUnary schemes would produce widespread and
sweeping rum. Under these circumst ances bus
lness Is devoid of enterprise or confidence and
confined to necessary purchases 1t Is true that
the Presidential CANVASS always produces more
Ur less embarrassment to trade, but our inter
ests have attained such a magnitude and the
danger threa ened by Greeleys views is really
50 great ;hat it is deemed prudent to take IN
sail aud lrepare for whatever may happen.
IF business were very active anywhere, there
would be corresponding development here
but | cannot learn that there is a rIgn of life or
enterprise IN any leading trale-circle. That this
must embalrass our manufacturers whose vast
operations necessltate instant heavy putch res
of raw materials and considerable financial
management, may be readily understood. There
would not be near as much apprehension if the
candidate opposed to General Grant were
merely a leading Democrat wth the ordinary
views of his party, whicu are well known and
can be provided against. But unhapplly MIR.
Greeley financial views are crude and eXseri-
meutal to the last degree and the future uuder
Ills auspices would be tuil OF gloom. S1ch Is
the outlook from business point OF view,
though it is quite haDltual With bankers and
business men to avoid By all possible means all
likelihood OF all alarmlst tendency Hence men
who are extremely apprehenslve among each
other will bear IA lOuA OF cheerfulness 10 the
general public and avoid giving vent to their
fears.
