WASHINGTON, OCTOBER !, 1850.
OCTOBER.

How love the brown October-of all our
months the rarcstl
When in holiday attire field and forest look
their fairest;
When russell leaf and crimson leaf and pur-
pie, gold and yellow.
And green, too, VIE in Natures eye, each
TO outstrip its fellow.
How love the brown October-but tits
chiefly for the pleasures
Tho brown October ushers in, surprising
Natures treasures;
'Tis sweet 10 hear upon the hearth the
cbirping OF the cricket;
But greater bliss by far than this--an opera
season ticket.
How | love the brown October-and my
love becomes n passion
When won with contemplation OF some
beautiful fall fashion;
And much as Natures beauty charms, aud
though dote upon 1t,
/ love far more than Natures store lovely
autumn bonnet.
