September strews the woodland Ger
With many a brilliant color;
The world Is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be duller?
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather,
All mel this glory aad this grief
agree not wen togeaR.er.
This is the parting season-this
The time when friends are flying.
And lovers nov, with many a kiss,
Their long fareweIls are signing.
Why is earth 50 gaily drest?
This p0mp that aut1m beareth
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weareth.
Each one Of us, perehance, may here.
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter.
We shall then be wrinkIed men,
Our brows with sileer laden,
And thou this glen may st seek again,
But never more a maiden
Nature, perhaps, foresees thatspring e.
Will touch her teeming bosom, 4.
And that a few brief months Will bring
The bird, the bee, the blossom.
All these forests do not know
Or would less brightly vlther-
The virgin that adorns them 50
VIII never more come hither.

signs.

The following letter from The Prcsi-
dent Of the United States acknow-
lodges the letter Of resignation of
Secretary Dclano, which was written
and sent to the President on July ).
The letter Of Mr.. Dclano rccounts
his services rs Commissioner Of In
ternai Revenue and as Secretary Of
the Interior, all Of which are approved
and endorsed by the President. The
following is the Presidents reply:
Lone BRANCH, Sept. %, 1879.
DEAR SIR: Your letter Of the 9TH
OF July, rendering your resignation
OF the office Of Secretary Of The In
terror, was duly received, and has
been held by me until this time with
out action, because Of the continued
persecution which believed and be-
licvc was being hcaped upon you
through the public press. Ionly now
take action because the time is rap
idly approaching when The Secretary
Of the Interior will lave TO com
mencc his labors preparatory to rem
dcring his annual report TO accom-
pany the executive message to Con
grcss. |, therefore, accept your rcsig-
nation, to take effect on the first dav
of October, leaving little more than
two months from the induction OF
your successor until the assembling
| n ~
resignation, | am not unnindful Of
the fact that about the time Of the
meeting Of Congress, one year ago,
you stated to inc that you felt the ne
ccssity of retiring from the Cabinet,
and asked whether l would prefer
your resignation, SO as to have your
] successor confirmed by the Senate at
the last session, or whether | would
prefer 1t in vacation. Ny answer
was. that | preferred not having it at
f all. That was my feeling ut the
time; and ! now believe That YOU
have filled every public trust conlidcd
5 TO you with ability and integrity. |
sincerely trust that the future will
place you right in the estimation OF
, the public, and that you will continue
to enjoy its confidence rs you have
done through SO many years of oil
cial life. With continued rcspcc,
and friendship, / subscribe myself
very truly, your obcdient servant,

Under this head the National Bop-

Everybody wants TO show off. The
clerk with 5000 year wants to emu

the dcacons, wants to live rs if he had
4 solid income Of five times rs much,
or, rather, the parish wish it Of him.
a young man dare not invite 4 young
lady 10 90 anywhere unless he is pre-
pared to lavish on her all sorts Of
things, quite beyond his means. The
matron will not invite friend to
take quiet cup Of tea; there must
be all sorts Of landangocs, to be pur-
chased with money, or on credit.

Color.

The following is an extract from
an article in the National Monitor,
and is worthy the thoughtful perusal
Of every coioreti man: !.
eff they would be achite, they have
only to seize upon. the requirements
of the white man with the hand OF
industry, and. then do as white men
do. When the race shall have done
this, it will find no occasion to be
concerned about its color. The law
Of equal rights gives the black man
the same right to object to the white
mans color that it gives to the white
man to object to tile black mans.
But how1 much disposition has the
black man to raise such a foolish OBJ
lection in the face Of the God he pro
fesses to serve? Just so much dis
position, and no more, will the white
man have to object to the color of the
black man when, in Intelligence,
wealth and piety the black man be.
comes what he"ought. to be.

REFORM.

!, It's an undeniable fact that the
Republican'party of this State during
the administration Of Scott and
Moses had become fearfully corrupt,
and exaggerated accounts Of the i'll
success of the party in this State was
beginning to react upon the national
Republican, party. The pledge Of
reform with which the party solicited
the support Of the people Of this
State in the last campaign have been
faithfully fulfilled and translated into
actions in manner calculated to
strengthen the Republican party.
The. trial and verdict against Parker
and the recent conviction Of Senator
Walker show conclusively that fraud
and corruption is not exempt from
mcrited punishment, though the laws
are administered by Republican OH
eials and the guilty persons OF great
party and personal influence. Ii
shows tEat there is honesty enough
left in the party to bring about re.
form in its own ranks The yDjon,
