Dear Circle: The Summer with its long and sultrv dava, is over and Autumn, 'magni ficent ad pom fous autumn' with trqiing clou'-ls, innuoierahle tints, with leaves that fill the air with solemn whispers and paint vipwless gust in hues of beauty, cometh 'with ilved garments of glorv.' The evening sha dows of.Ute .year are beginning to fall upon us, with a pleasant and soothing sensation of relief, after the glare and heat of Summer; while the; delicious mornings and evenings make us regret that the "soft twilight of the slow declining year," cannot last forever. It is a singular, fact that nearly all the old English joets speak of this season in the saddest and most melancholy strains. Shake speare terms it. '"the ehillv Autumn." while Collier speaks of it as the ' sallov Autumn. Wordsworth addresses it as "Autumn mel ancholy night," and Shenstpne writes . 'Oh pensive autumn! how I grieve Thy sort owing face to;see When languid sunsTaref taking leave j Of every drooping tree." ' Further quotations of the same character might be made from Chaucer, Spencer, Dry den, Milton, Thomson and indeed the entire list of early English poets. Those of later years with an, occasional, exception... have treated- this season a little more respectful! j, and seem to have appreciated its beauties. Instead of "Autumn melancholy nijrht we find such expressions as "gay autumnual tmts and -. " ".Autumn, tbrice nappy ttme," ficst portion of the year." i Indeed one would be justifiable in believing ini tn-t there had been a great change in the nature of thimrs since th. davs of " Will Shakespearfe; the ' baili ffs - Bon," and yet we imagine, the: only change has been in' public sentiment.' Cowpcr the Christian poet was the first to, discover that Autumn was not a melancholy seasonand now there is no lack pf Engljsh poets whtS are able to see and ap- predate beauties hi landscape, to which their j forefathers were emirelv bVnd. '.In theses Ot Amemcan ioetn t' ,:- -n ( ihe e ir ! . eeeine always to have worn a cheerful aspect. True Bryant, in one of his poems speaks of " The melancholy days , The saddest of the yecr; Of wailing winds and naked woods And meadows brown and acre." But he seems afterwards to. have repented. ' himself and w rites "Oh Autnmn! - Twere lot too "blest ForeTer in thy colored shade to stray." A sweet poetess -of tle South, now dead Mary E. Lee, thus spoke of Autumn : They chH thee, brown f but not becaaae Thy rob is colored with a russet hue, For thou ha.t beautiful attire, and takest E'en at thy will a drapery ever new ; Not one 'mongst thy companions can nnfold Such stores ofemerild, topaz, ruby, gold.' Scarce one of all our poets but has . some ' graceful tribute to this season, po full of love liness as ouis. Even here in Western North j Carolina we miss much ofjthe magnificence j of the Mfuany-colomlw:oo6" of the Northern States. but with us fhere is much to beseen and admired. A walk in the ! 'Variegated Woods when first tho fi-ost - Turn mto bt-auty all wtobc-r's cliarms" s - I will reveal to the eyeia 'bright bow of manv colors Imng upon the forest' fops.' In every direct ion on hill topand in the vallev, nature wears every variety of tint," iniiigled- in the wildest and yet sweetest confusion. Many persons complain that the change in the foliage at this season of the vear causes feel ings of melancholy, 'arousing sad and sor rowful ideas like the flush sn the hectic cheek.' But I can.see no 'such import in its - f meaning. Here is'no sudifen hlight of youth and beauty, no sweet hopes of life are blast ed, no generous aims at usefulness and ad vancing virtue is cut short : the year is draw ing to it's natural term, the seasons have rur. their usual course all their blessings have been enjoyed, all their precious things, are cared for; there is nothing of untimeliness. nothing of disappointment in the shorter days and lessening heats of Autumn. I As well may, we mourn oyct the gorgeous coloring of the clouds which Collect to pay homage to the setting Mm, because -they proclaim the close of day; as well inav we lament the brilliancy of the evening star and the silvery brightness f the cresent moon, just asceird ing into the heavens, because 'they, declare the approach of . night with her shadowy train ! In very truth the glory of'these last waning days of the season proclaims a gran duer of beneficence which- should rather make our poor hearts swell with gratitude at each return of the beautiful Autumn accord ed to us. Forgive this long and probably uninteresting autumnalia, but I love it so. I cannot keep from writing about it ' Linnette, to you we extend the good right hand of fellowship. We cordially welcome you into "Our Social Circle." One gifted ae thou art will alwavs find attentive and inter 1 readers.

The peasantry assembled in the val ley to witness so extraordinary a sight.; They measured the mountain with theireycs ; they oommuned with one another and shook their heads j but all admired the young man ; and some of his fellows, looking at their mistresses', thought they could do as much.
