SEPTEM BER.

September strews the woodlands DER
With macy brilIi.at color;
The world is brighter tban before
Why should our hearts be duller?
Sorrow aud the scarlet leaf.
Sad thoughts aud sunny weather,
All me! the glory and the grief
Agree not well together.
Thomas W. Parsons.
The pollen-dusted bees
Search for the honay-lees
That linger in the last dowers OF September,
While plaintve morning dov5s
Coo sadly to their loves
OF the dead summer they so well remember.
George Arnold.
Upon the hills the autumn sun
His radiance pour- like golden wiae;
Aud low sweet music seems to rue
Among the tassels Of the pine;
Around us rings the wild birds scream,
Above, un arch of dark blue sky
While like o msde1's GUNNER dream,
The mists upon the meadow lie.
ANON.
Tie dying year grows strangely mild;
Now in the hszy auumn weather

And life and |, friends rpconcileG,
Go over the hills together,
On, fairest month of all the year!
Oh, sweetest days in life! they nelt;
Within, without, is autumn cheer,
September there, September here.
So tranquil and so sweet.
Carl Spencer.
Bright flowers are sinking,
Streamlets are shrinking,
Now the wide forest is witbered sere;
Ligh. clouds are flying
Soft winds are sigbing;
We witt be thoughtful, for autumn is near.

We thank Thee for Thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands OF ours

And thanks that from our daily need
The joy OF simple trust is boru:

May trust Thee for the autumn corn.

The CLAYTON Investigation.

A Washington special to the New
York Tribune contains the following:
The special committee, appointed a
year ago, to investigate the serious char
ges made against Senator Clayton, has
not yet made its report. The chairman
OF the committee, Mr. Wright, who, from
his personal relations with some of the
Arkansas politicians interested in this
matter, is lwlieved to have felt from the
first little more favorable to CLAYTON
than to his opponents, is reported to be
in favor of bringing in resolution OK
oneratng Clayton Mr., Morrill,, OF
Maine, the other Republican on the com.
mittce, is said not to be convinced that
Clayton was innocent, while Mr. Nor
wood, the Democrat, believes that lie
ought to be expelled forthwith As the
committee is unable to agree upon re-
port the testimony will probably be Civ
en- to the senate without recommendation
/ this is done there is ne reason why the
senate should not have it at once 1t is
said to be so yoluminous that it is doubt.
full ifprnted copies can be obtained be-
fore the close of the session, and if the
report is still further delayed it will be
impossible for any senator not member
Of the committee to inform himself in re-
gard to the evidence before the adjourn
ment OF congress. Unless some action
is taken by the senate this session, the
whole investigation will have proved
farce, and the grave charges against
Clayton will stand unanswered Some
OF these charges are, giving congress
certificate to y Democrat who was not
legally elected, in return for votes for
himself for United States senator in the
state legislature. lalsifying the election
returns, offering bribcs, procuring the re-
moval Of the United States district attor-
ney and marshal, who secured his indict-
ment in the United States court, and ma
ny other misdemeanors. any one of which
is sufficient to unfit him for seat in the
senate.
