THE SEASON
By T Hood: '
Summer'a gone and over!
Fogs are (ailing down;
And wiijb russet tinges, "X
Autumn's doings brown.
Boughs are daily rifled
By the gusty thieves.
And the Book, of Nature,
Get teth short of leaves.
Round the tops of houses,
Swallows as the' flit,
Give like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.
Skies, or fickle temper,
Weep by turns and laugh
Night and Day together,
Taking half and half.
So September endeth
Cold and most perverse
But the months that follow,
Sure will pinch us worse.

We are able to form some idea of the' ex
tent of that commercial delusion ; which '
now prevails in England, from the appear- J
a nee of the English newspapers, .which,
from begining'to end,' are one continuous ' .
railway advertisement. 1. I'here: are now,
before us several copiris of. .the .London ":
Morning Chronicle, one of the leading dai- .
ly papers of London, which,, for the.infpr- '
ming of such' oT our. readers as do not see .
the English prints, : we '. will describe), in'4
length and breadth; the Chronicle is nearly"
or 1 '
equal to the livening Post; in size, but as
it is published on a douhle sheet, arid in
smaller type, it well contain nearly wice
as much matter 1 as-. the - Evening Post.
Wellj of this enormous surface of print sev
enteen solid columns are occupied with no- -tices
of railroads' formed,; or . about to be
with the names of the directors, and their 5
respective proposed advantages. But ' this -is
not all; tor under the reading head of the
paper we have five more closely: printed !
coluins of mailer relating exclusively ip
railroads, and the . meeting and movements ;
of their managers.- Yet the worst has to ?
come. ; The Chronicle publishes every
morning what it calls a: supplement, but
which in fact is another double sheet 01
the same size as the paper itselfjvand the
greater pajrt of which is taken up with stiU ;
more railway advertisements. ; 3 y
, In the supplement before us, besides the ,
twenty-two columns which appear in" the ,.:
regular paper, we have thirty-three addi- .
tional columns of this kind of notices ma-;
king in all, tn one paper alone, fifty-five
long and close coluinns.of railroad matter. '
