The lonesome wind of Autumn grieves; The northern lights are seen ; October sheds her changing leaves Upon the churchyard green,* Where, sitting pensive in the sun, While fading grasses wave, I watch the crickets leap and run, Upou a stranger’s grave. There is no sigh of fluttering leaf, No sob of vesting grass ; The breeies o’er this place of grief In breathlosajwhisper pass ; Yet, like a murmur in a dream, Purls on that insect voioe— The vacant tone which does not seem To mourn or to rejoice. A tone that hath no scothing grace, A tone that nothing saith, A tone that’s like this solemn place Cf memory, tears and death— It darkens hope, it deepens gloom, Black fear, and doubt profound.

God help him in that bitter day, (His heart, huS reason save,) Who hears the .crickets chirp at play, Upon his darling’s grave ! —[William Winter. A Strange Story. It was getting towards midnightjwhen a party of young noblemen canto out from one ot the c’ubs of St. James street. The servant of each, as lie stepped upon the pavement, threw up the wooden apron of the cabriolet and sprang to the head of the horse ; but as to the destina tion of the cquippages for the evening there seemed to be some dissension among the asters. Betwixt the line of coronetcd vehicles stood a hack ney coach and a person, in an attitude of expectancy, pressed as near the exhil arated group as he could without exci ting immediate attention* ‘Which way?’ said lie whose vehicle was nearest, standing with his foot on the step. ‘All together, of course,’ said another. ‘Let’s make a night of it.’ ‘Pardon me !’ said the cJear and sweet voice of the last out from the club ; ‘I secede for-oae. Go jour ways, gentle men !’ ‘Now, what the deuce is on foot ?’ said the foremost, again stepping back on the sidewalk. ‘Don’t let him off, Pitz. Is your cab here, Byron, or will you let me drive you ? By Jove, you shan’t leave us!’ ‘But you shall leave me, and so you are not foresworn, my friend 1 In plain phrase, I won’t go; so spare your curi osity the trouble of asking. I have a presentiment that lam wanted-—by devil or angel. ‘T see a hand you cannot see.’ ‘And a verry pretty hand it is, I dare swear,’ saH the former speaker, jumping into the cab and starting off with a spring of his blood horse, followed by all the vehicles at the club door save one. Byron stood and looked after tbem a moment, raised his hat and pressed his hand on his forehead. The unknown person who had been lurking near seen)' ed willing to leave him to his thoughts, or was embarrassed at approaching a stranger. As Byron turned with his halting steps, however, he suddenly came to his side. ... ‘My lord,’ said he and was silent, as it waiting for permission to go on. ‘Well 1’ replied Byron, turning to him without the least surprise and looking eloselv into his face by the light of a street lamp. ■I com' to you with an errand which, OONVHBK, G.V., THURSDAY, I)KcEMBER 7. 1 N?<i. perhaps—’ ‘A strange one, Inm sure; hut I an* prepared for it—l have Leon loivwarm and of it. What do you require of me, for I am ready?’ ‘This is strange I’ exclaimed the mm. ‘.Tas another message, thin— ’ ‘None except a spirit—for my heart ah.no told me that I should he wanted at this hour. Speak at once.' ‘My lord, a dying g : rl lias sent ti r you.’ ‘Did I know her?’ ‘She has never seen you. Will you come at once ? and on the way I will ex plain to you wnat I can of this singular errand, though, indeed, when it is told, you know all that I comprehend. ’ They were at the door of the hackney coach, and Byron entered without fur ther remark. ‘Back again !’ said the stranger, as the coachman closed the door ; ‘drive for dear life, for we shall scarce be in time, I fear.’ The heavy tongue of St, Paul’s Church struck twelve as the rolling vehicle har ried on through the now lonely street; and, though far from the place from whence they started, neither of the two occupants had spoken. Byron sat with bare head and folded arms in the corner of the coach, and the stranger, with his bat crowded over his eyes, seemed re pressing some violent emotion ; and it was only when they stopped before a low door in a street close upou the river that the latter found utterance. ‘ls she still alive?’ be hurriedly asked of a woman who came out at the sound of the carriage wheels. ‘She was—a moment since. But be quick !’ Byron followed quick on the heels of his companion, and, passing through the dimly lighted entry to the door of aback room, they entered. A lain)*, shaded by a curtait of spotless purity, threwji faint light upon a bed, upon which lay a girl, watched by a physician, who had just removed a small mirror from her lips, and holding it to the light, ho whispered that she still breathed A s Byron press ed Die edge ot die cu eun, iiuwtytv, tl dying gill moved the fingers of the hand lying on the coverlet and slowly opened on him he: languid eyes—eyes of iaex*- pressible depth and lustre. .No oue had spoken. ‘Here he is,’ she murmured; ‘Raise me, mother, while I have time to speak to him.’ Byron looked lound the small cham ber, trying in vain to b'eak the spell of awe which the scene threw over him. An inspiration from the other world could not have checked more fearfully and completely the worldly aud scornful under current of his bature. He sloo 1 with his heart beating most audibly and his knees trembling beneath him, await ing what he prophetically felt to boa warning from the very gate of Heaven. Propped with pillows aud left by h> r attendauts, the dying girl turned her hand toward the proud, noble poet stand lug by her bedside, and a slight blush overspread her features, while a smile of angelic beauty stole through her lips, in that smile the face re-awakened to ns former loveliness, and seldom had be who now gazed breathlessly upon her, looked upon such spiritual incomj aratle beauty. The spacious forehead and no ble contour, still visible of the emaciated lips, bespoke genius impressed upon a tablet all feminine in its language, and in the motion of her har.d and even in the slightest movement of her neck, there was something that still breathed of sur passed elegance. It was the shadowy wreck of no ordinary mortal passing away, humble as were the surroundings and strange as bad been the sammoms to her bedside. ‘And this is Byron V she said at las*, in a voice bewilduringly sweet even through its weakness. ‘My lord, f oonld not die without seeing you—without re lieving my soul of a mission work with which it lias long been burdened. Corre nearer ; for I have no time left for ceio mony, and I must say what I have to say and die ! Beautiful,’ she said, ‘beautiful as the dreatu of him which has long haunted me 1 Pardon me, my lord, that at a moment so important to yourself, the'remeuibranoe of an earthly feeling has been betrayed into expression.’ She paused a moment, and the bright color that had shot through her brow and cheek faded and her countenance resumed its heavily serenity. ‘I am near enough to death,’ she re sumed, ‘near enough to point you almost to heaven from where I am ; and it is on my heart like the one errand of my life —like the bidding of God—to implore yon to prepare for judgment. Oh, my lord! with your glorious powers, with your wonderful gifts, be not lost. Do n °h for a poor World like this, lose nil ] eternity in which your great mind will outstrip the Intelligence of nngeK Measure this thought; scan the worth of an ß t,lio bliss with the intellect which has ranged so gloriously through the universe; do not, on this momentous subject of Inman interest—on this alone be not short-sighted I’ lint shall I do ?’ suddenly hurst, hour Byron’s lips in a tono of agony. But with an effort as it struggling with a death.pang, he again drew up his form and resumed the marble calim>ess of his countenance. • The dying girl, meantime, seemed to have lost herself in prayer. With her wasted hands clus|*ed on her bosom and her eyes tv rued upward, the sight mc tion ol heV lips betrayed to those sur rounding her that she was pleading at the 1 hrone of Mercy. The physician crept close to her bedside, bur, with his hand on his breast and his bead bowed, he Seemed but watching for the moment when the soul should take its flight. She suddemy raised herself on the pil low. Iler long brown tress fell over her shoulders, and a brightness unnatural and almost fearful Jtindled in her eye. She seemed endeavoring to speak and gazed steadfastly at Byron. Slowly, then, and tranquilly she sank upon her pillow, aud as her hands fell apart ard as her eyes drooped she mills mured, ‘Come to heaven,’ and the still ness ot death was iu the room. The spirit had fled. The Gay Season. Hail, social life! into thy pleasing boutida Again I come to pay the common stock My slave of service, aud in glad return, To taste thy eomforta, thy protected joys. Thompson I 'Againeinmon. The disposition of the sun to culti vate a closer acquaintance with the Trop ic of Unicorn; the downward tendency ot the thennometric mercury ; the steady increasing number of red-nosed people we meet upon the streets, and ithe more opulent appearance of everybody connec ted with the fuel business, either as dealers, sawyers or shovelers, remind us continually that the winter is nigh and that we must pat off the manners and customs cf the sweet summer-tide—that delicious time when— The skies are bright, with azure and with gold, The mavis ami the nightengale by times Amid the woods a soft enchantment hold; The flowing woods, with glory and de light Their tender leaves unto the air have spread— and put on (lie habits of another season and clime. With this change in tine temperature comes a variation in the phenomena of social life, which, to a large class of our jieople, is ot more inis portance for the time being than the procession of the equinoxes or any phase of atmospheric changes For now comes the opening ot the social season—a peri od of fervid interest to belles aud beanx, and of somewhat milder feeling is those who were belles and beaux in periods more or less remote. Now begins a campaign whose progress will be marked with exhilarating triumphs mid defeats more bitter Ilian wormwood; of thrill— ing joys and corroding heartburns; of ecstatic moments, when the enraptured be or slie would sing, if they have any \oice for music My willing soul would stay In such a flame .‘is this : And sit and sing herself a way To everlasting bliss, alternated with days when they quern, lous’y ask why fate denies them the only boon they crave— a lowly grave in a sequestered vale, where the earliest vio lets bloom. To the very young man with |dowi:y lip and callow ideas, it means a season ot mortal grappling with perverse nectiea, obdurate linen and lo> tally . epiaved collars, which results in his invariable discomfiture. Achilla's armor was never the source of half the discomfort to that hero that our young man’s dress suit is to him, and he never succeeds during his first season in get ting rid of the appearance of a gigantic trussed fowl swathed iu black broadcloth Ilis hands become monstrous the mo ment a pair ot kid gloves arc grought near him, and his dress-boots make him sigh for the painless rest of you hither shore. If some of the philosophers who are fond of calculating the amount of energy wasted in dog’s tail's and similar problems, would turn their attention to these social topics, they would be apt to find that the force exerted by the young men of this country during their first winter in society, in crowding their hands and fevt into gloves and boots, imses to small for them, and the h.ird ships they endure in consequence, would he more than equivalent to an exposi tion which should find the North Polo. As it is with the young man of the pe nod, so it is with his sister—only more so. She enduivs fortunes from too small cicthing, winch aro even greater than is; her gloves, her boots, her nor. sets and her crimped hair are inflictions before which the self-flagellations ot the medieval pale their ineffectual tires, hut unlike him she is sustained and soothed by (lie feeling that she is look ing beautiful and is admired, and tor this delightsom guerdon she would endure all and more gladly, lie, on the other hand, has his misery aggravated by a full knowledge of liis awkwardness and verdancy. Ho knows that he cannot stuud still gracefully, nor move with ease; his face is blank in repose, but his smile is fatuos. Nothing short of inspiration would inform him what to do with his hands, aud as to his feet--human power could not keep them off the ladies’ trains, Howr be survives all this, or passes ihrough it without an injured mind or eons' it ution, is among the mysteries. It is the fashion to laugh at the mis tries of the salad days of bo li sexes, but it is pretty certain that never iu the fu*. tore will they know keener woe's and sweeter pleasures than during that tu multuous peri id Edwin msy pass on to a life full of vicissitudes and sorrows, but he will any worse when fortune and hopes are wrecked with one dive stroke than ho will this winter, when he sees his hated rival's rose in Angelina's hair, nor will any subsequent triumph send a keener thrill to his fin ger tips Umn tingles there when the blushing little mink confesses that site was only teasing him all the while, and she loves linn “better than a whole World full of stuckfeup Algernons."

Intoxicating Grass. Beside the “dronk” grass, i. e., drunk grass, of the Dutch colonist ill South Af rica, it appears that there is in Mongolia another grass with a coirespoding native name and similar properties, Tim ac count of it is given by J)r. 1 lance, in the July numbei of Trimen's Journal of Botany, from specimen’s of information supplied by Dr. Bresschneider, of the Russian legation at Peking. It proves to be anew speies of stipa. brought from the Alachan mountain by a Roman Cath olic missionary, whose horses were disa bled by its inebriating propeitii-s. The wandering Mongols of the region are familiar with this grass, and uso^vinegar as an antidote. Curran. A good tale is told of Curran, who was once engaged in a legal argument. Behind him stood his colleague, a mail whose person was remarkably toll and slender, and who had intended to take holy orders. The judge observed that the case under discussion involved a question of ecclesiastical law. ‘Then,’ said Curran, ‘I can refer your lordship to a high authority behind me, who was once intended for tho church, though in my opinion filter for the stee ple. History is silent as the judge’s regard for the authority. Fashionable people are curious to know how u red felt hat must feel. A. C.
