AUTUMN IN THE Woods.

Every hollow full OF ferns.
Turning yellow in their turns;
struggling brsmbles fierce and wild,
Yielding berries 10 the child,
Oakballs ;ufnbling from the tree,
Beech nuts dropping silently.
Hosts OF leaves come down to die,
Leaving openings to the sky;
Bluebclls. foxgloves, gone 20 seed,
Every thing to death decreed;
Nothing left OF flowers or buds:
such j. Autumn in the woods.
And 50 l. there an Autumn known
To the heart 1t feels alone,
Fearing its best days are past;
Sees the future overcast;
Fond acquaintance broken through.
Friends departed, friends untrue;
Human flowers cold and dead,
Covered by a grassy bed,
Hopes. lik. blossoms putting out,
whitening soon, and flung about
Bycruel winds dread doubts and fears
Finding vent in sudden tear;
Yes there j. an Autumn known
To sonle hearts tins left alone.
Yet, there's this thought after all
Ferns may fade and leaves may fall,
Hearts may change or prove untrue,
All may look rs these woods do
Though sad Autumn here is given,
spring time awaits the Just in heaven.

FROM the New York sun.
Whoever even thought of the lives
that have been lost, the suffering en-
dured, the great sums of money ex-
pended, and the perfect system direct
ing the workings of men and savages
far beyond the limits of civilization,
making collections of wild animals for
the menageries? Indeed, the business
has been SO almost exclusively done by
two very quiet gentlemen, whose agen-
cies cover nearly half the globe, that be-
yond the propfietors and managers of
gardens and shows only very limited
number have any conception of the ex-
tent of their operations, or of so much
as their existence
The head of the firm, and directing
spirit OF is workings, is Mr. Charles
Reiche, considerably this side of 80,
with the comfortable 5onhommie man
ner OF an educated, Travelled gentle
man. His New York establishment, at
80 Chatham Street, is passed by unno-
ticed by hundreds daily; vet, from it,
orders are Supplied from almost every
travelling show in the United States,
from the geological Garden in London,
and others in Russia, Austria, and else
where. His large supply depot for this
county is in Hsboken. Henry Reiche,
his brother and partner, lives in Ger
many, where they have general sup
ply farm Tor al the world, with accom-
modations and appliances for the keep
ing of almost every bird, beast, and
reptile from any country or cline in
that part OF the world which has been
explored. They are ready at any time
to fill an order. for any thing from
single canary through singing birds,
display birds. or trick birds. up to a
flock Of ostriches, or from field mouse
TO an elephant
Africa. the home OF the greater num-
Der Of fierce, yoraeions animals. Is their
mos, extensive field Of operations. In
il they have many stations, with sheiks
or chiefs in their employ, and standing
inducements offered 10 natives for choice
specimens Of rare birds or beasts. Dur
ing nine months Of every year they have
a band Of experienced white African
hunters travelling from station to station,
overseeing and directing the workings
of the natives, and catching elephants, !

The poem Of ''Thanatopsis," which
first appeared in the North american
Reciew in September, 1917, began with
four stanzas which have since been
omitted. The New York Post offers the
following explanation of the circum-
stance: 1.-The predatory stanzas were
not written as preface to 'Thanatopsis,'
but constituted separate poem. The
poets father carried both poems to Bos-
ton, and placed them in the hands of
Mr.. Dana, who put them into the North
american RerieU, where they were
coupled together by some mistake, and
their separation in all later editions
was simply the correction of an mad
vertence.n

THE NEW YORK COLLECToRSHIP.

As long as the New York custom-hous
was virtually in charge of the commission
there was no particular reason why Collec-
tor ARTHUR should be removed. II was
known that he would be very apt to con-
duct himself well while under the eyes of
the eminent gentlemen composing the COM
mission, who were watching his motions
every day. People who have been wonder
ing why Collector ARTHUR was not re-
moved can see the wisdom Of delay in ac-
tion now that the second and final report of
the commission has been filed, and is found
to condemn AKrHUR as being implicated
in the frauds and abuses which have been
practiced openly under his administration.
II is to be hoped that the friends of real
civil service reform in New York will soon
agree upon some man 10 be presented rs
ARTHUR's successor who is thoroughly COM
petent and honest, and who Is not seeking
the office. Let the Office seek the man, and
kt that man be one Of the best in the State
Of New York, q man never in any way con-
oerned in any corruption like that which
will render forever memorable ARTHuRs
administration Of that Office for four years.

TIE SOUTHERN POSTAL CONTEN
TTON.

Owing to the excitement produced by the
strike, the proceedings Of the postal con-
vention held at Old Point Comfort last
week did not attract the attention which
the importance of the subjects it had under
consideration demanded. The convention
was composed Of delegates from nearly all
the Southern States. In those States the
postal service IS less complete and efficient
than 1t is in other parts Of the nation, and
quite inadequate to the needs Of the people.
The present Administration being exceed
ingly desirous Of extending all the advan-
tages of the General Government with
strict impartiality to an parts of the coun-
try, took very deep interest in this con-
vention, and the President and all the
members of the Cabinet would have been
present had It not been for the disorders
produced by the railroad strikes
The convention adopted memorial to
Congress, which sets forth in very clear
terms the need which the South has fOr
increased postal facilities for commercial
local aud social reasons Among the i'm
portant measures, it asks for the establish.
ment of limited mail service passing
through Washington and connecting tn,
great cities of the Atlantic and Gulf State
| from Boston to New Orleans, and thu
establishment of steamship lines between
Southern seaports and the chief ports O
South America, Central America and th'
West Indies. The legislation demanded b,
the memorial is just and reasonable, ant
should be granted by Congress.

coast of the continent, now contains con-
siderable population Of English-speakfng
colored people, who are thoroughly accli-
mated. This affords us a far better foothold
than the British had to begin with in India.
We know II is usual to speak disparagingiy
OF the Liberian Republic, yet If we compare
the progress of the settlement there with
that which was made by Massachusetts,,
Virginia and other colonies in this country
in the same length of time 1t will be found
that the Advancement of Liberia has been
much more rapid and substantial.
The LibeIians would he important allies
in the proposed work. Through them the
interior can be orcned upand comparatively
healthy locations secured on the highlands,
where even white people desiring to estab-
lish themselves in the country for the pur-
poses of business could find homes fully ~
healthy as those in which thousands Of
Englishmeu reside in India. The deadly
African climate, Of which 80 much has been
said, Is found chiefly on rivers and on low
lands near the sea. Our colorcd people
would readily become acclimated in such
situations, and could thereby save white
men from much of the danger incident to
the climate, while the latter by seeking the
plateaus and terrace lands OF the interior,
could live there with comparative safety.
Secretary EvARTs has expre.se1 his do
sire TO adopt such measures in tnt a,iminls-
tration of his departmentas as would tend to
revive our depressed foreign commerce. We
hope he will not overlook so important q
quarter Of the globe as Africa, especially rs
England is now exploring all the great
rivers and other channels OF commerce 10
that continent. and -tablishing her trading
posts all around its coast. Ii q considerable
number Of the most thrifty and intelligent
Of our eoloIed citizens should emigrate to
Liberia they would no doubt be able to reap
rich harvest of material prosperity by
acting rs commercial agents and factors,
and by becoming pioneers in the develop
ment Of the agriculture Of that country.
We would therefore favor the negotiation
of such treaty with Liberia rs would give
this country virtual protectorate over 1t
for q term OF years. If this were done we
might encourage the proposed emigration
of our coloIed citizens tlrither, for they
might there aSSist in building up large
and profitable commercial intercourse be-
tween our country aud Genital Africa, and
at the same time acquire wealth and honor
| for themselves Commerce with that region
If properly developed would be very ex-
tensive and profitable, and we therefore
hope that our relation with Liberia may be
even more intimate. so that that country
may serve as door to cren up for us an
immense and valuable trade.

THE TRUE STRENGTH OF THE M
TIONAL GOVERNMENT.

The truth should not be lost sight of that
as much depends upon the spirit with
which the laws are administered as upon
the character Of the laws themselves The
recent action of President HAYES in requir-
ing strict conformity to the Constitution
and laws before furnishing troops to the
States, instead Of weakening the power and
vastly strengthened it The strength OF the
National Government consists in the at
taehment which the people have for it. The
prudence and care which the President has
shown in the performance of his delicate
and responsible duties has not only won for
him universal esteem, but has caused the
General Government to be everywhere
recognized as grand and beneficent power
for good within its legitimate sphere.

PUNISHMENT NEXT

Now that the riots have been suppressed
the work of arresting, trying and furnishing
the leaders should begin at once. The pun
ishment should be swift, sure and severe in
order that it may be made q lesson for all
time to come, and deter evil-doers from a
repetition of the crimes which have brought
such deep disgrace upon our country, and
injured the cause Of republcanism through
out the world. The ringleades in the
various localities are generally well known,
and they should at once be arrested, and the
erted 10 infiict speedy punishment upon
them. There is scarcely any crime upon
the statute hooks which some one of these
men has not been guilty Of and to full to
punish them would tend to bring the law
and courts OF justice into utter contempt.
