And share thy dreams
And must linger here
To stain the Dlumage Of my sinless years
And msurn the hopes Of childhood dear

BALD-HRADs AT LAsT.-The open
ing of the Italian opera season at
the New York Academy of Music,
was marked by an accident, which,
as the indication of q fashionable
revolution, was even more notable
than the first appearance of Stra-
kosch's new company. The Graph
ic tells US that the singular sight
was presented Of all female heads
appearing shorn of chignon, rat,
friz, and all the many, TO a man at
least, nameless contrIvanees with
which now for several years the fe-
male mind has eapitally adorned its
crown We may imagine that men
were simply frozen into astonish
ment at the disappearance OF the
towering coifures, the monuments
of hair, ribbon, lace and feathers
that were wont to obscure the view
of the stage, and the substitution of
heads that were quietly and chaste-
fully glorifed with natural hair
alone. A modest flower or an un-
obtrusive ribbon were the extremes
of decoration, but the grace of how-
ing or plated locks alone constitu-
ted the charm of the majority
The ladies seem to have jumped
from one extreme to another with
an extraordinary but characteristic
agility.

OCTOBER
BY ALFRKD B. STREET.

Thank God FOR this his perfect day;
This hymn OF Natures living Tyre
This sounding praise, this grateful lay,
To him, creations glorious Sire.
One downy dome OF blue the air;
A pomp Of hues here whelms the eye,
While swoonE the mellow landscape there
In dreamy films CT violet dye
Along the level water come
Far sounds, the wheel across the bridge,
The sportsmsn's shot, the sawmill's hum,
The crows cav floating from the ridge.
Upon the Iulled lakes FURNISHED glass,
Athwart the forests creyieed wall,
Over the mountains sheeny mass
Waivers a faint, transparent pail.
The scented west wind roams around
The leaves that strew the forest floor;
Moves them in skudderings on the ground
Or twirls them in light eddies Ger.
The squirrel Kisses on the spray,
Bows his gray back and whirls his brush;
whistles the quail and screams the jay
Scarce marring the delightful hush.
The little streamlet pOurs in meek,
Slight triekle through its gemmed rayine;
How different when its surges wreak
Their wrath and shake the frowning scene
A soft, warm air now bathes the check,
ASH sweet Summer breathed again;
And now there comes chilly streak
That tells Of Winters coming reign.
How dazzling glows the landscape nigh, -
A jewelry Of various hues
While fainter, fainter to the eye,
Into soft gray the tints dif,use.
That old, brown harvester, the Year,
Gathers the fruits he sowed in toll ;
Heaped at his side, behold the cheer
The russet, golden, rosy spoil.
The barn stands bursting with his wealth; /;
The farmyard rings with bounteous life /;
He laughs his jolly laugh OF health
And shakes his pouch, with treasures
rife.
The rich seeds fill his spacious bins;
The gems with which his toll is crown
ed;
Where stood the corn the spider spins
His silver o'er the vacant ground.
AS dies the dag in sunsets gold,
As on songs current dies the swan
So dies the year in Autumn's fold,
The brightest Natures pride puts on.
o beauteous month when life decays
May 1 this heavenly quiet feel,
And in these hues be clad my days
As downward slopeS Hfe's weary wheel.

ConfusiUs His HGbits.-In walk
ing the Master usually put one foot
before the other; when he rested, it
was generally on both legs.
If, in walking, he came upon a stone
he would kick 1t out of his way; If 1t
were too heavy he would step. over or
around it.
Happening once TO kick a large
stone, he changed countenance.
The Superior Person wore his cloth
es in the ordinary manner, never put
ting his shoes upon his head nor his
cap upon his feet.
He always kept the skirts of his
robe before and behind evenly ad-
iusted. He permitted not the IN
seemly exposure of his under-gar-
ment of linen at any time.
When he met his visitors he rushed
towards them with his arms open
like wings.
His Poetru.-The following were
written in his sixty-ffth year, on leav-
ing Loo:
ssOh, fain would look towards Loo:
But this Kwei hill cuts Of my view
With an axe 1 will hew
This thieket all through
That obseures the.fair prospect Of Loo.'

composed by his disciple Shun:

has occurred for a long time past in

1t seems that q few months ago she
came to the city a stranger, from
the interior of Ohio, and shortly
after her arrival became acquainted
with q man named Chas. Ackers, a
brickmaker of this city. Ackers
constantly visited her at her room
on 18th street, and the two appear
ed to get along very we'll together.
Jealousy, however, sprang up in the
breast of the woman, and it was
consummated Thursday in the ter
rible tragedy which was enacted in
his presence. Believing him false
in his affections, she broached the
subject to him while the two were
in her room Thursday afternoon,
and, taking a can of coal oil, threw
it over dress. Then with a match
she attempted to set fire to her
clotking, but was prevented by
Ackers. Soon after be started
down the stairs to leave the place
when he heard 4 loud scream, and
rushing back found the woman al

THE LOUISIANA TROUBLES.

New Orleans is in a state of insurrec-
ton, the object Of which, as stated by the
insurrectioni>ts themselves, is to depose
the de faeto Governor and his adherents.
The outbreak seems to have been plann-
cd and the preparations for it made with
a secrecy which insured a complete sur
prise The trouble purports to have
grown out the last State election, but
that is we believe only pretext. There
is in Louisiana, and in other Southern
States too, for that matter, a secret polit-
ical organization, known as the &" White
League" Its workings are secret, and
we can only guess its object by the name
it has adopted, and character of those
composing its membership. But from
the outspoken expressions Of the South
ern papers in sympathy with the League
and its designs, we gather that the inten-
tion is to place Louisiana under Demo
cratic rule in the coming elections, at all
hazards. Recent Democratic successes
in other States seem to inspired conf
dence in the Leaguers, and they have as
sumed the initiative sooner, probably,
than was intended A quantity Of arms
was shipped to the League which Were
seized by the State authorities, and this
is made the exciting cause Of the late
outbreak, which is SO far attended with
present success that it has taken military
possession of the State House and Arsen-
al, after some fighting, in which about
thirty persons were killed, and one hun
dred wounded, while Governor Kellogg
has sought safety by retiring to the Gus
tom House, which is guarded by United
States troops.
In this emergency there is but one
course for the National Executive to pur-
sue. The recognized State government
must be sustained, whether against do
mestc insurrection or foreign invasion. -
In accordance with this duty the Presi-
dent has Issued his proclamation, calling
upon the rioters to di,perse within five
days. Failing in this the whole power of
the Government will be invoked to re-
store order. Thus the matter stands at
present.
The acts Of the "League" have beer
such heretofore as to repel sympathy OF
the part Of Northern people with til,
Society and its adheren:s. Whatevei
may be the abuses of governmental au
thority to which the Southern peopl
were compelled to submit, there couc
be nothing which justies such scenes 0
brutal violence as some of those whicl
the South has lately witnessed nor wer
these acts confGed to those States unde
Republican rule. 1t is to be hoped tha
such proceedings do not meet the approv.
al OF the better class of Southeiners. bu.
past experience has shown us how hard it
is to contend against prejudice. Some
Of the Southern States were dragooned
into secession against the wishes Of their
people, and the "war Of races" with
which we have been threatened, may be
inaugurated by the act Of few ruffians,
who have everything to gain and nothing
TO lose but their own worthless lives by
such a state Of affairs.
