FAR O’ER THE HItLS. .BY T.- O. OBEY. Far o’«r the hills the slowly waning-sim ’ Sends ling’ring rays of rosy light, •-? , J Clothing the its coarse is ran, With yellow robes of sanshine bright. ' ■ List! ’’ Far o’er the hills'there comes the cheerful tone Of lowly Labor’s ceaseless tale— -A simple ditty to the breezes thrown ‘ By some rude yeoman of the vale. ■ 'List ! ' Far o’er the hills the. weary shepherd calls His wand’ring lambkins from the fields, -And ere o’er earth night’s mantle falls, Enjoys the peace his cottage yields, j List! Far o’er the hills the* evening zephyrs brings ~c . . . .. v .. From the great city sounds of woe— . 'The miserere, guilt and a uSpring sing In trembling dirges chanted low.— >■ -• ■ List! •Far o’er the hills what fairy chime 3 now . steal, While tired nature sinks to rest— Fhose vesper bells whose solemn peal Tells ef the portion of the blest. ... A. . A List'! . Far o’er the hills the Katydid repeats Her soothing chorus to the gale, ~ And human sound no longer greets The quiet of our lonely vale,. Valley of the Monocacy, Md,, Sept. 29, Autumn In tbe Country. The days “grow v short; the evenings lengthen. The dew falls early, and glitters •on the grass blades late ip the morning. The locusts and katydids are noisy all day long. And the crickets chirp in season and out, An amazon among themj'or it may be the ghost of some murdered, mighty chirper, haunts the cellar, and fills the house with nightly lamentation. But with this rare ex ception, the cricket’s note is a happy, cheery one, associated with a wood fire blazing on the hearth and a kettle hissing on the coals, •and thus it suggests both warmth and cheer. The glory of the Autumn is soon to be re pealed to us. There are delicate hints of its coming, already; tokens in crimson and =gold daintily displayed, or coyly hidden among the thick maple leaves. We have had warmth and sunshine, and some cold, but very little frost; yet the death ©f the leaves is near. The autumn is barbaric in splendor before the end comes, but it is still too early to go into the forests. The ferns and mosses overlying the rocks and stones are bright and green', and the foliagejkeeos its perfect malachite; only the outstanding trees, the picket-guard of the wood, dumbly foretoken the glory that is to be. The air is -cool and clear; here are no fogs, no un wholesome vapors. The south wind blows -and the west wind breathes, and all the au turnnal flowers by roadside bum. Golden rod stands tall and rank in the fields, and slender and drooping in . woody wave, and every footpath and cart-track and roadside wears a jaunty, cashmere border of subtly woven crimson, purple, bronze and gold. The sturdy sumach thrusts its pyramid of berries upon us, and will not be Bet aside to blush unseen. Every stone wall mid neglected rail fence blossoms. The ’ white everlasting is in bud, and the purple thistle unfolding. The Virginia’ creeper clasps the trees ip last embrace, and tarries to add crimson beaut? to emerald grace. Under foot are starry, wild asters, springing up by myriads—weeds, we call them—and trample them down again in the common -dust from which they shoot, unsown and xmcaredfor. Theirposition is plainly in the lower ranks, and they are used to slights land ignominy. In a king’s garden they would be at the least delicate and perfect of their kind, and very far beyond their second-cousin-daisies. Among the hem locks the berry displays its practical, ruddy clusters, and everywhere the purple' aster springs, our own New. England heather. These are things that live ever, in memory, when winter comes with its inexorable blockade. Beside the fire we shall sit and dream of autumn woods and quiet ways, “like paths to heaven,” all hallowed with wondrous sunsets; and live for loHg months on the nectar we are distilling now. For beautiful as September is in reality, it loses nothing under the artist touch of memory. Bleak winds make remembered sunshine brighter; roaring tempests are the grand set ting of peaceful pictures; many a summer bird or brook goes singing through our winter dreams—many a garden of rare delights blossoms on our hearth stone. We remember the weary pic-nic days of Summer gone with their frolic and fun, forgetting only the warmth and weariness—as in the August of twilight we recall a Winter’s evening around the fire,with its story-telling, and nut-cracking, pnd apple-roasting, and the duskyyuncouth shadows creeping over the wall. The time for books draws near. Lamplight and study are twins, and daylight is no respector •of the brotherhood. Morning brings practi cal thought, and mortal care, and manifold ’toil; the family circle is broken, and its •members scattered far and wide; but with -evening comes reunion, and possibly, rest and ease. The rich man goes to his city ’ “place,” and tired of the ceaseless din of the streets, closes the. shutter and curtains in - the quiet which is bordered all about with -sound. The poor man smokes his pipe on the worn door-step, or chats with his neigh bor over the fence; and the rattling of carts and shouts of children are music to him after the ten hours’ clash and whirl of ma chinery. But he who can go on from shop or office, beyond mansion and cabin, to a spot where trees wave and flowers bloom, where fruit ripens and streams run, where birds build and sing in summer, and crick -ets chirp the golden autumn through—he has a home, arid •if there be peace and con tentment within, has attained already to all -he should desire this side Heaven. Strength of the Beetle.— This insect i has just astonished me by its vast strength ■of body. Every one who has taken the •common beetle in his hand knows that its .limbs, if not remarkable for agility, are very powerful; but I was not prepared for so Samsonian a feat as that I have jnst wit nessed. . When the insect was brought to me, having no box immediately at hand, I was at a loss where to put it till I could kill dt; but a quart bottle fnll of milk being on 'the table, I placed the beetle for the present 'tinder that, the hollow at the bottom him room .to stand up .right. Presently, to my surprise, the bottle began to move slowly and glide along the smooth table, propelled by the muscular ■power of the imprisoned insect, and con tinued for some time to perambulate the 'Service, to the astonishment of all who wit messed it. The weight of the bottle and its •contents could not have been less than 'three pounds and a half, while that of the beetle was about half an ounce, so that it ;reaUy moved a weight one hundred and twelve times its own. A better notion than -mgures can convey will be obtained of this aaot by supposing a lad of 15 to be im prisoned under the great Bell of St. Paul’s, which weighs twelve thousand pounds, and 'to remove it to and fro upon a smooth pave ment by pushing within. —Professor Goss. The Keystone Base Ball Club, of Phila delphia, played the National Club,of Ivash in gt on, yesterday afternoon. There was good batting, but loose fielding. Owing to the approach of night, there was only five innings. The score stood: Nationals, 41: Keystones, 28. The Nationals entertained their visiting friends laßt night at the Na tional Hotel. Polish Immigration to Maryland.— Says the Baltimore 7Styn .-—A delegation of ' Bolanders, understood to represent a con siderable number of Polish, families, arrived in this city oil Saturday, and visited Gov ernor Swann, to whom, they presented a petition ofvsom'e length ini-referehce to a plan' for their settlement in. Maryland, which had been projected between the State Commissioner ofimmigration and Gen. Tochman, but which, it seems, difficulties have intervened to prevent the: consumma tion of. A farm of some 2,ooo"acres was to have been secured in Charles county, seven or eight miles from Port Tobacco, and the. subscription by gentlemen in this State for making the first payment-had so far pro gressed that the Poles allege, that thev pre pared to come on in consequence, and now experience disappointment and loss by the failure. Thedelegatioucomprise CoL Antoni , Bogucki, Mr. Alexander Kaminski and Mr. ■ Al, Dwerniohi, aiid their petititiori was signed by twenty-two others. They were presented to the by Gen. Toch man, who, it appears, as; agent for a. Euro pean emigration company, having itacentre in New York, has been seeking to direct a portion of the tide of foreigners landing upon our shores to settlement in the South, more particularly, if possible, in Maryland and Virginia. Dreadful Tragedy in Illinois.—A fearful tragedy oeourredin the town of Thompson, Carroll county, Ulinois,on Mon-, day. Two families, by the names of God dard and Sohenck, have been living during the paßt summer in the same noose, on a farm about a mile from the village. Fre quent quarrels have occurred between them. The quarrels finally culminated on Monday in a fierce personal encounter, between two male members of the families. Clubs and similar weaponswere freely used, and nearly all the members of the two families finally) .became engaged In the conflict. Mrs. Goddard,, having been struck once or twice in the melee, rushed : into the house and soon returned with a butcher knife which she immediately plunged into the breast of Miss Mary Cole, killing her in stantly. Miss Cole,the victim,was a young lady of about 19 years of age, of a quiet and inoffensive disposition, and was taking no part in the quarrel. The murderess is un der arrest, but manifests no contrition for her crimp. A Dead Shot.—A correspondent of The Soldiers' Messenger writes: A certain Philadelphia General had upon his staff a lively young Lieutenant, rather given to stretching the truth, and had a remarkable facility for boasting of his own accomplish ments. Upon a fine horse, he indulged daily in a ride amongst the woods and bushes,. about a mile from camp. Returning one day, he presented to the envious gaze of his brother officers a rabbit, that had been shot through the head. “ Look at that,” said he, “ shot him through the head, my horse go ing at full speed—can do it nine times out of ten.” Thus boasting, he turned it over to the cook for a stew, and took frequent occa sion to allude to the fine shot. Next day, whilst all were enjoying a good dinner, a modest rap was heard on the door of the mess-room, the door was opened, and a con traband presented himEelf, with “Please, gemmen, am de gemmen here dat bought de rabbit yesterday ?” and then catching sight of onr now confused Lieutenant, exclaimed, “Here he am—here’s anoder rabbit at de same price.” The roar of laughter that fol lowed may be imagined. R. B-. B. Ball Incident.— At a dance in Harlem, New York, one evening last week, there was a youpg lady so curiously got up that she was the remarked of all present. Her dress was a rich white silk, and had it been allowed to remain in its purity, would have been all very well; but Miss M. wanted something more striking, and so she had large gilt buttons sewn closely together on every seam, and round the bottom of the skirt.- The effect in a picture might not have been unpleasant, and no doubt the dress was accurately copied from Li Follet, but the effect on .the ladies and gentlemen who were unfortunate enough to be near her in the dance was most unpleasant, as at every movement of the skirt the buttons knocked against the nearest ankles, and made their possessors almost vent their pain in words not too flattering to the wearer of the buttons. By and by the gen tlemen, qne and all, refused to dance with buttons, and she was left for the rest of the evening a disconsolate wall flower. Artists and Pictures.— The New York artists are returning to their studios from their summer rambles, most of them with their portfolios filled with sketches from na ture to form ,the subjects for future land scapes. A prominent place of resort for taem all at present is the gallery of magni ficent paintings belonging to the Crosby Opera House Art Association, on Broad way. Surrounded by these gems of art the “knights of the brush” spend hours every day criticising each other’s masterpieces which decorate the walls. The paintings on exhibition here are only a portion of the large number to be distributed when the famous Crosby Opera House at Chicago is drawn. The difficulty in striking off the ■steel engravings, Which requires time, pa tience and skilful.'workmanship to do it neatly, to fill the . orders already accumu lated, has delayed the drawing find distri bution much longer than was at first anti cipated.—ffeio York cor. Chicago Journal. Sewing Silk.— Mr. Wiley Duffy, of Da vidson. Tallapoosa county, Alabama, was in our office yesterday, and exhibited a num ber of skeins of sewing silk of all colors. They were spun by his wife, and equal the silk which is brought by our merchants from the North. Mr. Duffy is able to sell them under, the market price. Last year Mr. Duffy’s wife sold silk thread to the value of $lBO. When we reflect that the mulberry grows luxuriantly on the hills of Alabama, and that the labor of spinning the silk is but slight, the whole work of feeding the silk-worm, and gathering the cocoons ocoupylng but four months of the year, and when we reflect furthermore, that $lBO will supply meat and bread enough to a large family for the year, we would advise our people of the hills who are in want, to plant mulberry orchards and spin silk.— Montgomery Mail. A sad case of family bereavement occur red at Baltimore last week. On the 7th inst. a daughter, II years old, of Mr. Wendel Snyder, died of scarlet fever. Two other daughters, aged 18 and 20 years, attended the funeral, and shortly after their return home were attacked by a similar disease. The elder partially recovered, but the younger, on Saturday evening, was in a dying condition. The elder sister ap preached the bed of the dying girl, and im mediately fell to the floor lifeless, and before morning the spirit of the other had departed. —ITS dau gkters are dangerously siok with the same disease. .
