Autumn,s Tints

The poets have discourSed elo-
quently on the erich brown tints''
of autumn woods; and certainly
there is nothing more beautiful than
the hundred and one changing hues
of gold, yellow, and russetfbrown
which makes q sunset walk in the
country so charming in the late days
of September. But chemistry and
pSetry are not the same thing. The
leaves of plants in a state OF com
plete vitality and growth are, more
or less. bright green; in a state of
less vitality or change, they assume
a more or less red, scarlet or bright
orange brown tint; till, in death and
decomposition, they change tOa dull
brown or black color. The red coll
or is oftener produced in spots where
the leaues have been injured by in
sects. The principle on which the
leaves OF trees receive their differ
ent colors is still a matter of discus
sion, but it has been discovered that
there arc several distinct groups Of
colOring matter on which plants de-
pend for their hues. The normal
green is a mixture Of two or more
colOring matters; aud il is doubtful
ifany leaves are colOred by one sin
gle substance. Generally, in fact,
they contain not only colors belong
ing TO several groups, but even more
than one of the same group. The
coloring matter which gives rise To
the red patches in the beautiful va
riegated leaves of some of the gera-
niums in our gardens is the same as
that met with in the flowers Of par
ticular species. The purple color of
the leaves of turnips is the same as
that OF the purple flowers OF the
commongarden stock. But curious
ly, the color which we find In the
dark leaves OF ivy seems 10 CORES
pond with the fine, deep pink color
developed in many leaves only in aiI-
tumn, so as to produce the brilliant
red and scarlet which have such a
fine effect on certain kinds of seem
cry. A curious fact may be noticed
with regard TO scarlet leaves, that,
when they are digested in hot water
the red color comes away, and leaves
them green, yellow or brown, as the
case may be. Reverting, however,
to our autumn tints, we may con-
clude that they are nothing more
nor less than the signs of dccompO-
sition; and this may be remarked by
another faeJ-the unhealthy branch
es of tree turn yellow, while the
rest Of the tree remains green.

DEAR SIR:-By to-day's express
we send you q cane, which was fash
ioned by one of our number, (Cor-
nelius Peden), from a portion of the
old Ramage press on which, forty
four years ago, you printed in this
town the "Western District Her
aid" Out of the large circle of &C
quaintances then living in Paris, and
who greeted the first number of the
Herald, but -four male persons now
reside in the place. What solemn
reflections and touching memories
are called up by this look into the
pastl Our early friends, where are
they? Their forms appear, but only
as vision that returns in sleep, and
Yanishes when we wake.
1t has been forty-two years since
most of us have seen and talked
with you, bat we have often heard
from you, and our hearts, through
the long years that have divided us,
have been made to beat high as we
watched your endeavors, and the
brilliant success that has attended
them. From poverty, and only such
education as a printing-office af-
| fords-by dint of energy and native
talent-you have achieved a name
and fame, as jurist and statesman,
worthy the admiration of all true
| lovers of country.
AS token of our lifelong friend
| ship and esteem, we present to you
this old Ramage Press cane, trust
ing that you may not only find it q
physical support in your declining
years, but that it may also prove q
| source of comfort in the reflection
that, in the friends of could Lang
Syne," you have a wall of friendship
and support that viii endure foreY,
er and forever.
