From her leafy home in tho forest dell,
with n coronal on her brow,
Doth the dark-eycd Autumn, the peerless


belle


OF the seasons, come tripping now;
And her voice is the hazy air,


Like tho music of laughing rills,
As they steal from some secret mossy lait.
Empowered In their native hills.
The gladsome earth with lingering smile
Has welcomed her back again,
And her colOrs are worn by each fairy isle
That Is pictured in the main;
The purple and gold OF the woodlands old
Which gleam In the suns fnst ray,
Are the borrowed tints from her mantle


fold


As she sped on her Joyous way.
To the fields of the ripening grain she HES
Where the fruit Is bending low,
Ana she paints their spheres with the my


Rad dyes


That her cunning hands well know;
while the farmer around throws glances of


pride


On his future garnered store
The pledge of n goddess cen there to bide
When winter Is at the door.
While she tarrles near yon lone brook
y thread of silvery light
For she loves the quiet, sequestered nook,
To gaze on her features bright.
But short her stay on its carpet green;
She hears afar of the chime
Of her sisters steeds, the Northern queen,
AS she sweeps from her frozen cline.

From tho Spirit of the Tlmes.l


First, there docs not seem to be any
occas on for panic, or even for alarm,
and the reports sent far and wide BY
the sensation mongers are uncalled for
and mischievous. The march of the
complaint since its first appearance in
Canada, and from the western towns
Of this State TO this city, has been rap.
id and its path wide, but in character
it is mild, and according toall accounts
il is easily subdued by suitable treat
ment and nursing care. You will see
by the telegraphic accounts from the
West that the railroad horses are af-
fected, the citizens business and road
horses are affected. In fine, all the
horses are affected, which is very
alarming; but then comes the state
ment that one horse is dead, which IL
bad for the owner, but rather consol-
ing to everybody else, because il proves
that the complaint is not dangerous.
To call this pestilence is nonsense.
1t lacks the great element of
pestilence - mortal character
IL appears to us to be Just like
one of those epidemical visitations of
influenza in England which sometimes
follow a. long course of dry, harsh
winds which have come across the
great Tartarean Steppes from the
northern border of China. Then
nearly all the people are coughing
sneezing, and running at the eyes and
nose. Yet no serious effects follow,
and we earnestly hope and confidently
believe that this will be the ease with
our horses.


But great care is absolutely demand
ed. Those that are we'll should not
be exposed to wet, cold or fatigue. We
think their food should be liberal.
and we know it should be good, and o
gentle stimulant, such as is afforded
by a tablespoonful of good condition
powder in mash, every other night
while this complaint is about, cannot
be bad. We shall venture on it.
Good ventilation and protection from
cold draughts are needed now more
than ever. For those who have the
incipient symptoms of the complaint,
such as cough, running at the nostrils
and watery discharges from the eyes,
absolute and soft food are required.
Their hay should be wettcd their
manger feed should be nothing but
mashes; and if they will drink good
oatmeal cruel so much the better.
When the throat is affected, which is
nearly always the case, If the cough is
bad, liniment we'll rubbed in outside
has been found very useful. When
the horse is so sick that you believe
medicine to be necessary, you had bet
ter go at once to Office Of good veteri-
nary surgeon, remain there until he
comes, and then describe the symp-
toms, if he is unable TO visit the pa
tient in person. We fust this com
plant will pass away like cloud and

A desperate ana bloody plot was detected
and foiled by the vigilance of the authori-
ties last night. On the withdrawal of the
main body of United States troops from the
city to the Barracks, the revolutionists con-
ceived the design of attacking the State
House, with the view of wrestling it from
the few soldiers left there on guard.


The attack was to have been made in
force, by militia and an armed mob, and of
course the troops would have been
slaughtered.


The troops in force were at once ordered
back to the city.


Of course, the leaders, recognizing their
utter and total defeat, would have deluded
few reckless or unprincipIed men to a
deed in which ultimate defeat was inevita-
bic. Their idea was to secure martial law,
hoping to make Republicans share in their
own overthrow.

 MR EDITOR Our soldiers decoration seems to have been failure this year There were some pretty lines written to be sung and word was partially circulated that those who wished to share in the cer- emoaies should meet at the monument But so far as I can learn there was no regular gathering. The rain of the 3Oth and the consequent delay till the 31st might have caused misunderstanding The flowers were to have been strewn around the monument, instead of on the graves: This will do for one year, as a change; but each mound should be visit ed. It is to be hoped that next time the whole town may have a share in remem- beriDg our brave ones thus And to keep their memory blooming as it ought in the heart of our country, the yonng should be given place in the beautiful pageant !! As to procession, those who cannot walk could surely ride to the graves; but for my part when think of the long and wa " marches the soldiers took thus saving to the women of the land, their homes, I am willing to walk along side of fthem now to the graves of their comrades and bright en them for one brief day with gay blos- soms would rather 20 with them even if they do the decorating.

The Savannah Republican tells the
following as vouched for by gentle
man of that city, who recently had oc-
casion TO visit the marsh on the other
side of the river. While over there
standing in the marsh, near a pool of
water, he noticed that something was
going on in it that one is not accustomed
to seeing every day, and, on investiga-
ting, found that very large moccasin
and a good sized catfish were having
terrible fight. The occurrence was
highly interesting, and he got as near
as possible to see whatwould be the end
Of it. The combatants wore fearfully
in earnest, and terribly energetic in
their efforts to annihilate each other.
The catfish would make daring passes
at the snake, always using his fins to
stick his antagonist with, and the snake,
on the other hand, would have to be
equally energetic in keeping clear of
the sharp points Of the catfishs fins.
The moccasin would throw himself into
striking position, and strike very fast, in
order to be equal to the frantic suIges Of
the catfish. At last, the catfish, in
making pass at the snake, struck his
sharp fin somewhere in tender part Of
the snakes belly, and the moccasin in
turn clinched the catfish in the back
part of the neck. In this position both
antagonists clung to each other until
they were dead-the poison in both
seeming equal. The fight lasted about
twenty minutes, including the last clinch
of the contestants.
