There comes from yonder height, A soft,, repining sound, h Where forest leaves are 'bright, Andfall like flakes of light To the ground. It is the autumn breeze, That lightly floating on, Juit shim the 'weedy leas, • Just stirs" the glowing trees, - And is gone. He moans by sedgy brook, And visits with a sigh The last pale flowers that look From out ,their sunny nook, At the sky: O'er shouting childrentlies That light 06tober wind, And kissing ckeeks and eye; He leaves their merry cries • Far behind. And wanders on to make- That soft uneasy sound By distant nook and - lake, - - - Where distant fountains break From the ground. • No bower where, maidens dwell ICan win a moment's stay; - No fair mitrodden dell; He sweeps the upland swell, And away.

At St. Stephen's Eplsc4al Church, on Tenth street, above Chestnut, yesterday morning, an impressive scene was wit nessed by the large number of persons present. As a token of respect to the late beloved rector, the Rev. Henry W. Duca ebet, who died suddenly on Wednesday Might last, the chancel, altar, reading desk, pulpit and other portions of the sacred edi nee were draped in mourning. After the regular form of morning prayer had been concluded, the beautiful and appropriate 143 d hymn was sung by the choir. The Rt. Rev. Wm. Bacon Stevens, the Bishop of the Diocese, then proceeded, to deliver an elo quent and touching address upon the be reavement which the Church and the Zzfinis try had met with. Bishop Stevens said that three times during the present year had this building been clothed in habiliments of woe—first, for the President, who had been suddenly called from us ; then when the beloved Bishop of the Diocese passed away ; and now in respect for the esteemed rector, whose, sudden death had caused such an electric thrill to pervade the community when it heard the sad news. This was not the plaCe . nor was, he prepared, to give a funeral discourse or memorial sermon on his beloved brother. All knew what a life of usefulness his had been, and how greatly he had improved our Church. The speaker hoped the good results of his teachings would stretch far into the future. Forty-two years ago Dr. Ducachet was ordained to his sacred office, but *before that he had been aPphysician of large practice and influence in New York, with-prospects as flatter ing as ' any :young man could possibly desire; but in the providence of God he was called upon to minister to a, higher duty—that of attending to the sick in soul=and giving up the profession which held forth such liberal promises and high hopes, he -dedicated himself to the work of God. His services were immedi ately sought after, and he obtained exalted positions. Thirty-two_ years ago, on the eleventh of the present month, having been selected to succeed the noble Montgomery,. he was installed by Bishop,White and. As-. sistant Bishop Onderdonk as rector of this church. Tris was a long pastorate in this day of change, of 'turmoil, and of restless ness; and it was a noble "thing for one who came in, in the very morning of his youth, to live to see an entire generation pass into the grave and another come upinto their place, for when he was called away he was ministering to the Second generation. For many years he was a leading member of the Standing Committee of this Diocese, in - which position his' superior learning gave him great influence; in the conventions he was always prominent, and often, by his genial spirit s hdaled differences which had arisen; and in the Advancement Society he •always took great interest. The Bishop then referred to the Orphan Asylum connected with. St. Stephen's, which was commenced by Dr. Thicachet, and prospered under his supervision; and also to the fact that only a few weeks ago the friend whose loss he now so deeply mourned had been the spokesman on an agreeable occasion when a number of the Episcopal * clergy had gathered to *express their affection for him (the Bishop). He referred to a portion of the morning's service, which he, deemed peculiarly applica ble to this day of mourning, and which seemed to shine out just -as we sometimes See a sinle bright star when all the rEvt of the sky is overhung with clouds; arta con chided by calling the attention of his hearers :to the. importance of preparing for that world wherein there is no sorrow and :no tears and by invoking them to let this death be a warning to all, that they should live in'Chriat so that they may die in the Lord. • The Austrian Empire. The Austrian Empire is now passing through a - crisis which will test to the ut most the capacity of its statesmen and the patriotism of its people. The -meeting of the Diets'of the German Provinces of the monarchy has been marked by a movement openly, hostile to the recent policy of the Emperor, and particularly to the attempt which the government is making to ctrne to a direct understanding with Ilungary. • Those differcnt Assemblies are acting not only with unanimity, but in concert, and with a decision and secrecy which, as a po litical symptom, are most remarkable. Lmst Thtusday the .Provincial Diets of Upper Austria, Lower' Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Vorarlberg anti --- Salsburg met, and in all one and the same n. The was submitted to the Deputies. The authors df this motion take their stand on the imperial diploma of Oct. 20, 1860, which theyc observe was pro iitolggted.as.a fundamental law,beyond the power of the > Emperor to change without co-operation of the Provincial Diets or the Belebsrath. That fundamental law they maintain is still in force, no one having the right to suspend it; but it has been violate. by the issue of the'patent, of Sept. 20, 1865, and thus.the nation finds itself deprived of 'rights which it joyfully . took possession of,. and which it has exercised for five years. ,By this patent the rights of the„Provincial TdOts are imperiled, and, the work of-legis- lations, is taken from the representatives of the people,and assumed by' absolute poWer. * . - This real attack on "- the government of Francis Joseph'at the oment wherihe is advancing to take Huh.' 1914 by UK, , h and , may be a patriotic) And • _ THE _DAILY,- DVEN *al move ent, or it maybe mere clisT play of sectional feeling; but it omplicatee the situation. in, a remarkable egree, and heightens the interest., `with w "oh Europe will watch the negotiations a . tut to be opened at p'esth.--London Netts, Nov,. 29. _Letter from the Director of the Mint to the Secretary of the Treasury ! The Director'of the 'United States Mint at Philadelphia has sent to the Secretary Hof the Treasury several specimens of coins, with a new motto thereon. Accompanying the coins the Director sends the following letter "PETT , AnPLPHLk, December 15th, 1865. : By the fifth section , of the act o4Con gress,, approved March 3, 1865, entitled an act to authorize the coinage of three-cent pieces,und for other purposes, it is enacted • that in addition to devices andlegendsrupon gold, siver, and other coins of the Umted States, it shall be,lawful for the Director of the Mint, with the approval of the Sedre- , tory of the Treasury, to cause the motto", 'ln- God we trust,' to be placed upon such,coin' hereafter to be issued as shall admit of such legend thereon. In pursuance of this au thority I directed the engraver of the mint to prepare dies with this motto, for such gold Wand silver coin as would admit the' addition. The execution of this order required time, ' care and skill, and, now . I- forward to you , specimens in copper of double-eagle, eagle and half eagle gold coins, and dollar, half dollar and quarter dollar of silver coins with the motto, "In f3od we trust," on the reverse of each coin,. for your approval or, otherwise, as ,recured by law. The other gold and silver coins are too small to receive the motto, so as to be legible. The,- *zting -legend and devices not a. .. it of a greater prominence being given .. the motto on the coins, but the addition, as now presented one sperimens,udd much to the appearance of our coinage. Should you ap prove ofthe speahnens submitted, I will ' at once cause to be struck off, with the worth of the gold aratsilver coins, the denomina tions representhd by the specimens. I pro pose to direct the engraver to revise and re model dies for the gold and silver coins, so that, by retaining the legal devices and le gends, he may, by the change of size, posi tion, &c ., give to the coins with the motto a more artistic and elegant appearance. I think it can be done. If succesuful, I will submit them to you for your judgment and approval. For this purpose no additional legislation is required., Yours, respectfully, J.k.IMES POLLOCK, Director. Circular from the Postmaster General. The Postmaster General has just issued the following important circular to railroad companies : ,t POST OFFIC DEPARTMENT, WASHING TON, Novemb r 30, 1305.—T0 Railroad Managers: I is known to you that mail service on the railroads generally during last winter was so irregularly performed as to seriously delay the transmission of the mails. Various causes were assigned for the failures; but the principal one was the great length of trains that made it impossi ble for them to make their schedule time. No satisfactory reason for this was made to this Department or the public. The compensation for carrying the mails is remunerative to the railroad companies, and their obligation is clearly to convey them according to their most expeditious schedules, whateVer may be the delay to their paSsenger or freight traffic.' The interest of the public in the regular and speedy transmission of the mail is superior to the private interests of railroad companies, and delaying the mails by over burdened trains is virtually a violation of implied contracts of the companies with this Department/ The remedy is with the com panies. Lessen the number of cars on the mail- trains, especially on' those carrying through mails, to the maximum that will riot necessarily prevent. the schedule time being regularly made, and the difficulty will be removed. The request now made for you to do so is in no sense unreasonable, but demands alike for the interests of the Government and the public, while your faithful compliance will only be a proper observance of your contract with the de partment. I trust your company will heartily co-operate with the department in its earnest desire to furnish the mails regu larly and expeditiously to the public. Respectfully, W. DENNISON, - Postmaster General. Confession of a Suicide An old man, who committed suicide by strangulation in Paris; on the 27th ult., left the following document among his papers. headed—" The Mysteries of my Life," with an introduction to this effect; I belong to a very good family; I was well brought up. Fatally for myself, I adopted as my device the Italian maxim, Chi vapiano va sano. I know now that, on the contrary, no marl should leave for to morrow what he can do to-day. For my part, I believe that before doing anything it was necessary to. deliberate long and maturely, and the consequence was that all I took part in turned out unsucces§frd. By this mania of postponement and this dilatormlss of execution I injured my for tune, I forfeited an important situation, and I missed ten marriages. I have broken with all my friends, because I never could return a visit in proper time; pay back an act of politeness, nor keep an appointment; I was always an hour too late. Ihad excel lent servants, but I never was *ell served I because I was never ready to be served. thought myself extremely prudent, and I always found myself in a false or a diffi cult position. After long and profound reflection, I am now convinced that my constant habit of putting off everything was but a pretext; that my real character was one of selfishness and sloth; and that I sought to hide, or to cover,. that double vice with a fictitious virtue. I was 'deterred by the fear of fatigue, by my disgust to bodily and mental exertions, by the indulgence of continuous and lethargic repose. Such is the true cause of tbe vexations which I have constantly experienced. I believe the judg ment I now pass upon myself to be correct. At my age I am on the brink of the grave. Thethought of self murder has come upon me, and as for once in my life I mean - to take an • energetic resolution, iiind . not to postpone it, -I hang myself. From New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12.—Gen. Winfield Scott arrived here to-day from New York, on the steamer McClellan. • The steamer De Soto, hence for Pasca goula, eXplOded her boiler, killing four men, scalthng four, and wounding the pilot and second engineer. in the Legislature a bill has been intro.. duced providing $20,000,f0r disabled Federal and Confederate soldiers and citizens.
