October strews the woodland o'er, With many a brilliant color; The world is brighter than before.- Why should our hearts be duller? Sorrow and scarlet leaf, Sad thoughts and sunny weather Ah mo I this glory and this grief, Agree not well together. This Is the parting eeaaoa thil The time when fsieods are flying; And lovers now, with many a kiss, The long farewells are sighing. Wby is earth so gaily dressed! This romp that autumn beasstb, A nmeral seems, where every guest, A bridal garment wearelh. Each ene of us perchance, may here, Of some bine morn hereafter, Return to view the gaudy year, But not with boyish laughter. We shall then be wrinkled men, Our brows with silver laden, And thou this glen may'st seek again, But never more a maiden ! Nature perhaps foresees that Spring Will touch her teeming boson. t An. that a few brief months will bring The bird, the bee, the blossom Ah ! these forests do nol know Or would less brightly wither The virgin that adores them so. Will never more oeme hither! Miss Ada Tesmax'h Female Minstrels perform at Sobers Hall on Saturday even log.
