FALLING LEAVES

sA<AANN HCA Eos
They are falling, slowly falling,
Thick upon the forest side
Severed from the noble branches
Where they waved in beauteous pride.
They are falling in the valleys
Where the early violets spring.
And the birds in early sprir g-time
First their dulcet music ring.
They are falling. sadly falling,
Close beside our cottage door
Pale and faded. like the loved ones
That have gone forevermore
They are falling, and the sunbeams
Shine in beauty, soft around;
Yet the faded leaves are falling
Falling on the grassy mound.
They are falling on the streamlet
Where the silvery waters flow.
And upon its placid bosom
Onward with the waters go.
They are falling in the churchyard
Where our kindred sweetly sleep
Where the idle winds of summer
Softly DER the loved ones sweep.
They are falling, ever falling,
When the autumn breezes sigh
When the stars in beauty glisten
Bright upon the midnight sky.
They are falling when the tempest
Means like Oceans hollow roar
When the timeless winds and biliows
Sadly sigh forevermore.
They are falling, they are falling,
Ii
To the sunny days of childhood,
In the dreamy long ago.
And the faded hues remind US
or the blighted hopes and dreams
Faded like the falling leaflets
Cast upon the icy streams.

For the SPECTATOR.
An Interesting Letter.
FROM FORMER CITIZEN OF AUGUSTA

FROM A FORMER CITIZEN OF AUGUSTA.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 16, 1873.
Mr.. Editor A few lines from this
most beautiful city of the great West
may not be wholly uninteresting to
some of your many readers.
First then, the election of last Tues
day-the sweeping and overwhelming
democratic victory in this State We
carried the State by about Is, 900 majori-
ty thus making every State officer, from
good, honest Blue Jeans down, demo-
cratic. The republicans in 1872 so un-
fairly and so shamefully gerrymandered
the State In their favor, as to congres-
sional districts, that it required demo-
cratic majority of about 10000 in the
State to secure to them bare majority
So fantastic and unreasonable was the
| shape of the districts that Conrad Baker,
who was then the republican Governor.
refused to sign the bill, but let it become
a law by default on his part. In the
present Congress they have nine mem.
bers from the State whilst we have onlv
four in the last Legislature they had o
good working majority on joint ballot
On last Tuesday we elected seven and
they six members of Congress and in
the 9th district McCabe, dem, will con
test successfully the seat of Godlove s.
Orth, who claims a majority of 81 votes
McCabe can prove that 100 illegal votes
were cast for Orth in Montgomery
county alone; and the "S to ~ game j:
In favor of the Democrats now at Wash
ington-your own Judge John T. Har
ris may have found that out. This will
| give us eight to their Fl We emembers-thi
count includes for US Gilbert De La Ma
tyr, d. D., who was the candidate of th,
nationals of this district (7th), but VIII,
was endorsed and elected by the demo
Gratis, and is sound democratic to tn
core.
In the State senate we have elected
majority of 2 or 3, and In the house 1
to 10; and adding to these or nation
ais, who with one or two exception
will vote with the democrats, will Civ
us a majority in the Legislature on Join
