THE FIRST SSNO " FALL.

The snow has begun in the gloaming And busily all the night Had been heaping field and highway With silence deep and white. Every pine and fir and hemlock, Wore ermiue too dear for an earl, And tho poorest twig on the elm-tree Was fringcd inch deep with pearl. From sheds new-roofed with Carrara Game Chanticleor's muthed crow, The stiff rails were softened to swans down And still futtered down the snow. I stood and watched by the window The noiseless work of the sky, And the sudden flurries of snow-birds, Like brown leaves whirling by. I thought of mound in sweet Auburn Where little head-stone stood, How the flakes were folding 1t gently, As did robins the babes in tho wood.

a BACHELORS LIFE.

4 bachelors life is merry and free,
His heart is not shrouded with care;
He has 10 children climbing on his knee,
And squalling and crying out "Pa."
But his days roll on like apleasant dream,
And calm as n summers sky,
serenely he glides down Times hasty
stream,
Till the spring of his life Is dry.
lie has no wife that uses sweet words,
Who calls him'my dear 'and'my honey
Who MARBLES her voice like the song Of
bird
Whenever she wants any money;
Who kisses and hugs him, and says my
love.
want a new bonnet and dress;'
And thus it goes on till the Benedict finds
Hes got into 4 terrible mess.
But bachelors life is untrameid and free
AS the greatest of earthly kings,
While the married man his wife must
obey,
Pack up and be of to the springs;
And while the old bachelors laughing In
glee
And baskingi in pleasures smile,
The married man is called by vice,
MY dear, take care of that child
Then the bachelor's life is the life for me,
In this sorrow-clad sphere Of ours;
wish TO roam untrameled and free,
And taste earth's beautiful flowers.
Let others seek to repose in bliss
Meath the shade OF the marriage tree.
But give me world like this
4 bachelors life so free.

A frgh;tul story comes from Illinois
which in horror, if not in mystery,
fairly rivals that Of Kaspar Hauser.
For some trifing act of disobedience q
farmer is alleged to have shut his daugh.
ter up in one Of the rooms Of his house,
and kept her imprisoned for sixteen
years in solitary confinement. His
death revealed to the public the fact OF
her incarceration and the cruel treat
ment to which she bad been subjected.
The horrors of her Imprisonment had
completely bercft her OF reason, and
when discovered she was physically and
mentally "below the level of beasts"
An investigation" is to be made.

SCENE IN A SAX FRANCISCO COURT.
Hon. Tom Fitch Canes Tyler.

A rather disgraceful affair took place in the Court room in San ranciseo on the 29th ult., during the continuation of the Smith Carpenter Nelson tral. It seems that George W. Tyler, an attorney on tine side of the prosecution, made some remarks which reflected on Mrs. Fitch, inasmush as this guerrilla lawyer intimated that Mrs. F.. was trying to influence the jury, whereupon Mir. F. told the attorney, who is shoulder striker, that if he sad that Mrs. F. had in any way tried to influence the jury, that be was liar. Tyler responded, ''It you say cannot prove that Mrs. Fitch has tried to influence the jury. then you lie"
 Fitch-"You cannot prove it."
 TyIer-"You lie."
 Here the row opened by Mr Fitch apply ing his cane to Mir. Tyler's head. They both then set in for rough and tumble, 5u. were separated by the officer of the court, and pat under arrest by the Judge for contempt of court. It is fortunate thing that Mr. Fitch caned this victim, who stoops to low down villainy, as he is known to be regular bully and braves his way | through the world on his muscle and brass ! It is, however, unfortunate for Mr. Fitch 10 be mixed up w.th the Smith scandal, acd those who are actors and participants there ! in. His reputation as a public man does not hardly admit of his Icing connected with lawyers who come from Stockton gambling hell or convicts from Melbourne, much less blackmaIlers and persons whose characters arc tainted with dishonor. Fitch ! is m able man, and we believe has few equals in the United States, and any cou- nection with this Smith business will not have a tendency to raise hIm in the esiima- tion of the people Geo. W. Tyler, unlet- tered, unpnncipled, immoral guerrilla law I yer. has been retained by ex-Mrs. Smith, Nelson and others to hunt up scandal and produce it in the Smith Carpenter case. Tyler formerly kept billiard saicon in Stockton. from which he graduated into the County Courts as jack lawyer; and finally wended hs way to San Francisco, where he : has become somewhat notorious as Police Court guerilla advocate, generally being eng aged by the honored disciples of Black stone in ca,es that they themselves would not personally attend. He is regarded by the Sln Francisco bar as man ueslitute oi principle and a fit .uJect for the position he now occupies, generally attending 10 the perleus of the San Francisco Ponce Court, investigating cases surrounded by an at- mosphere of the vilest slums or a lurge city

Among these are the following: The pres eut yer will be a prosperous one for ihc country. There will be general revival of industry. Labor will be employed and confidence universally felt.
