OCTOBER'S SON. ‘ O, deep brown eyes,” sang gny October j “Deep brown eyes running over with glee; Blue eyes are [vale, and gray eyes are sober; Bonny brown eyes are the eyes for me. "Black eyes shine in the glowing summer, With red of rose and yellow of corn ; But cold they close when the still late coiner, Silvery frost creeps over the morn. “Blue oyes shimmer with nngel glances, Like spring violets over the lea— But oh, my grapes, my w ipes, my dances, What have angels in common with me 1 “Go, gray eyes ! What know ye of laughing, Giddy with glee from the mere sunshine 1 Go to your books ! What know ve of quaffing Luscious juice from the riotous vine 7 “All the eartli is full of frolicking; Growing is over, harvest s done, All the trees are ready for rollicking, Glowing scarlet with rustical fun. “Stay, brown eyes, in the purple weather, A crown of oak leaves with maple blent, Shall deck your brow while gayly together We two will wonder to heart's content.” Thus October’s wild voice was singing, While on his pipe he cunningly played ; All the red woods with music were ringing, And browu eyes listened with footsteps stayed— Waited to hear the song beguiling, Listened and laughed through the sunny day; And earth and sky fell to merry smiling, As hand in hand they wandered away. II FfllTli ST LAI. I was chatting one day with an old school mate of mine, who, though young was a barrister of some eminence, when the conversation turned upon his own career. “People” he said, “give me credit for much more than I deserve. They com pliment me on having attained nty po sition by talent, and sagacity, and all that Borl of thing; but the fact is, I have been an extremely lucky man—l mean as regards opportunities. The on ly tiling for which I can really consider myself entitled to credit is, that I have always bceD prompt to take advantage of them.” “But,” I observed, “you Lave a high reputation for legal knowledge aod acu men. I have heard several persons speak in terms of great praise of the manner in which you have conducted some of your late cases.” “Ah, yes,” he returned; “when a man is fortunate, the world soon fiuds fine things in him. There is nothing like gilding to hide imperfections and bring out excellencies. But I will give you one instance of what I call my luck. It happened a year or two ago, and before I was quite as well knowu as I am now. It was a trivial thing in itself, but very important iu its consequence to me, and has ever since been very fresh in my memory. I had been retained on be half of a gentleman who was defendant in an action for debt, brought against him by a bricklayer, to recover the amount of a bill, stated to be due for building work doue on the gentleman’s premises. The owner refused payment on the ground that a verbal contract; had been made for the execution of the j work, at a price less by one-third than ' the amount claimed. Unfortunately he had no witnesses to the fact. The man denied the contract, alledged that no specifications bad been made, and plead ed finally, that if such contract had been entered into, it was vitiated by altera tions; to all of which ho was fully prepared to swear, and had his as sistant also ready to certify the amount of labor and material expended. 1 gave my opinion that it was a hopeless case, and that tho defendant had better agree to a compromise than incur any further expense. However, ho would not, and I was fain to trust him to the chapter of accidents for any ebanoe of sucoess. Near the town where the trial was to take place lived an old friend of mine, 1 who, after the fir6t day’s assize, ctrried tne off in his carriage to ditto and sleep at his house, engaging to drive me over next morning in time for this case, which stood next on the list. Mr. Trit ten, tho gentleman in question, was there also, and wo had another discus sion as to the prospects of h:s defence. “I know the fellow,” said he, “to be a thorough rascal, and it is because I feel so confident that something will come out to prove it, that I am determined to persist.” I said I hoped it might be so, and we retired to rest. After breakfast the next morning, my host drove me over iu his dog-cart to the assize town. We were just entering the out-skirts when, from a turning down by the old inn and posting-house where the horse was usually put up, there cutne ruuuing towards us a lad pursued by a man, who was threaten ing him in a savage manner. Finding himself overtaken the lad, after the custom of small boys in such circum stances, lay down, curling himself up and holding his bauds clasped over his head. The man approached, and after benting him roughly with his fist, and trying to pull him up without success took hold of the hoy’s coat, and knock ed his head several times on the ground. We wore just opposite at the moment, aud my friend bade him let the lad alone, and not be such a brute. The fellow scowled, and telling us with an oath, to miud our own business, and he had a right to boat him if he pleas ed, walked off, and his victim scamper ed away in the opposite direction. The dog cart wa3 put up, and wc presently went up to the court. The case was opened in an off hand style by the opposite counsel, who characterized the plea of a contract as a shallow eva sion, and called the plaintiff as his prin cipal witness. What was my surprise to see get into the box the very man whom we beheld hammering the boy’s head on the curb stone an hour before! An idea occurred to me at the moment and I half averted my face from him; I though, indeed, it was hardly likely he would recognize me under my forensic ■ wig. lie gave his evidence in a posi tive, defiant sort of way, but very clear ly and decisively. He bad evidently got his story well by heart, and was de termined to stick* to it. I rose and made a show of cross-examining him, till I saw him getting irritated, and de nying things iu a wholesale style. He had been drinking, too, I thought, just enough to make him insolent and rest less. So, after a few more unimportant 1 questions, I asked in a casual tone — “Y'ou are married, Mr. Myers ?” “Yes, l ant.” “Aud you arc a kind busbaud, I sup pose ?” “ I* suppose so; what then ?”. “Have any children blessed your union, Mr. Myers ?” The plaintiff’s couusel here ealled on the judge to interfere. The ques tions were irrelevant and iinperiiuent to the matter in question. I pledged my word to the Court that they were neither, but had a very im portant bearing upon the case, and was allowed to proceed. I repeated my question. “I’vo a boy and a girl.” “Pray, how old are they ?” “The boy’s twelve, and the girl niuc, I believe.” “Ah ! well, I suppose, you are an af fectionate father, as well as a kind husband. You are not in the habit of beating your wife aud children, arc you ?” “ I don't sec what business ’tis of yours. No, I ain't.” “You don’t knock your son about for example ?” “No, T don’t. He was growing down . right savage, especially as the people in tho court began to laugh. “ You don't pummel him with your fist ?” •‘No, r don’t ” II #2 a year, in advance, “Or knock his head upon the ground in this manner ?” and I rapped the ta ble with tny knuckles, j “No,” (indignantly.) “You never did such a thing?” i .< No j* “You swear to that ?” “Yes.” All this time I had never given him an opportunity of seeing uiy face; I now turned towards him and said— “ Look at me, sir! Did you ever see : me before ?” He was about to say no agaiu, but all at once lie stopped, turned very white and made no answer. “That will do, sir, I sa'd. “ Stand down, sir. My lord, I shall prove to you that this witness is not to be believ cd on his oath.” I then related what we had seen that morning, and putting my friend who had been sitting behind me all the while, into the witness box, he of course confirmed the statemant. The Court immediately decided that the man was so unworthy of be lief that the result was a verdict for defendant, with costs, and a severe re primand from the Judge to Myers, who was very near being committed for per jury. But for the occurrence in the morning, the decision would evidently have been against us. As I said before it was in a double sense fortunate for me, for it was the means of my intro duction, through Mr. Trittcn, to an in fluential and lucrative connection. TEN IIAKD DOLLARS. My father was a poor man. A large and growing family was dependent on him for its daily bread. Coming home one wintry evening from a week’s toil iu a neighboring town with ten hard earned dollars in his pocket, he lost them in a light snow. Long and fruit less were the searches for them. After the snow was gone, again and again was the search renewed, with the same result. The enow fell and melted again for a whole generation, and still the story of the lost dollars was fresh in our family circle; for a silver dollar to a poor man in those days was larger than a full moon. About a utile away lived another father of a family in a similar circum stance. He, too, knew how much a dojlar cost dug from the heart of a rocky farm. At least once, or oftener, every week for forty years he had occasion to pass our door, giving and receiving the common neighborly salutations, and every time with a weight increasingly heavy on his conscience. But all such pressure has its limit; and when that is reached the crash is the greater for the severity of the strain. In this in stance it was as when an old oak rends its body and breaks its limbs in falling. One day completely broken down, he came to niy father in tears, confessing, “I found your dollars iu the snow forty years ago. They have been bard dollars to me, and I can carry tbcm no longer. I have come to return them, and ask | your forgiveness, and as soon as I can I will pay you the interest.’ Tho scene was like that when Jacob and Esau met over the ford Jabbok. I He did not live long enough to pay the interest, but quite long enough to furnish a practical comment on the ; text “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear ?” Who will say that con science, though slumboring in this life will never awake to punish the offeuder in the life to come ?

Demand a Shylock price for every spot of ground that Go has made you steward over. Turn a cold shoulder to every mechanic and business man seeking a home with yotl. Look at every new comer with a scowl. Run down the work of every new work man. Go abroad for wares rather than deal with those who seek to do business in your midst. Fail to advertise, or in any way to support your paper, so that people abroad may not knowwbethe- any business is gojng on in that town or not. Wrap yourselves up within yourselves with a coat of impervious selfishness. There is no more effectual way to re tard the growth of the town than actions F.ke those enumerated, and there are people in every town who are pursuing the same course every day of their lives and to whom these remarks are respect fully offered for their consideration.” — • ■ ■■ ■ A Bad Mkmoky. —There was once a good old lady whose great age affected her in little less than in her memory. SLe had forgotten nearly all her past life, and could not remember the names of her nearest relations. But she never forgot, and being very sensitive on the point, she endeavored in all sorts of crafty ways to conceal her weakness in this respect. One day an old friend called on her, and in the coarse of con versation a Mr. Jacob Peters was men tioned. The old lady pricked up her ears and tried to look knowing. To save her life she could not remember who Mr. Peters was. ‘Yes, yes,’ said she, cunningly; ‘Jacob Peters! Cer tainly, certainly, I remember. But just let’s understand each other. Peo ple do make such mistakes, you know, when they don’t fix things all straight at first. Now tell me exactly what Jacob Peters you mean,’ ‘Why, don’t you remember Jacob ?’ cried the visitor. ‘Jacob was your first husband.’ The old lady mused. ‘Ja cob Peters.’ said sbc. ‘Why, yes, I believe be was my husband, or some thing of that kind.’ A Tali of Lot* —One quiet day in leafy June, when bees and birds were all in tune, two lovers walked beneath the moon. The night was fair, so was the maid; they walked beneath the shade, with none to harm or make afraid. Her name was Sal and his was Jim, and be was fat and she was slim; he took to her and she took to him. Says Jim to Sal: “By ail the snakes that squirm among the brush and brakes, I love you better’n buckwheat cakes.” Says sho to Jim, ‘since you'vr begun it, and been and gone and done it, I love you next to anew bonnet.’ Says Jim to Sal, ‘My heart you’ve busted, but I ‘have always gals mistrusted. Says Sal to Jim, ‘I will be true ; if you love me ai I love you, no knife can cut our love in two.’ Says Jim to Sal, ‘Through thick and thin, for your true lover count me in, I’ll court no other gal agiu.’ Jim leaned to Sal, Sal loaned to Jim, his nose just touched above her chin, four lips met —went —ahem!— ahem! And then—and then—and— then- —and—then. Oh, gals beware of men in June, and underneath the silvery moon, when frogs and Junebags arc in tune, lest you get your Dame in the papers soon. A widower observed the third anniv er •ary of bis wife’s deoeaso with a little supper the other uight.
