BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year,
Of wailing winds and naked woods,
And meadows brown and sear.
[leaped in the hollows of 'the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead,
They rustle to the eddying gust,
And to the' rabbit's tread.
The robin and the wrens are flown,
And from the shrubs the jay,
And froth the wood top calls the crow,
Through all the gloomy day;
Where are the flowers, the fair young
flowers -
That lately sprang and stood,
In brighter light and softer air,
A beauteous sisterhood ?
Alas, they are all in their graves;
The gentle race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds,
With the fair ancrgood of ours.
The rain is fulling where they lie,
But the cold November rain
Callsnot from out the gloomy earth
The lovely ones again.
The wild flower and the violet;
'l'hey perished long ago,
And the briar rose and the orchis died,
Amid the summer glow.
But on the hill the golden red,
And the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sun flower by the brook,
In Autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold
heaven,
As falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was
gone,
From upland, glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm mild day,
As still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their wintry home.
When the sound of .dropping nuts is
heard,
Though all the trees are still ;
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the rill.
The south winds searches for the flowers,
Whose fragrance late he bore.
And sighs to flock them in the wood
And by the stream no more.
865
And then I think of one who in
Iler youthful beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up,
And faded by our side-;
In the cool, moist earth we laid her,-
W ben the 'forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that - one so lovely,
.Should have a life so brief;
Yet not utmost it was that one,
Like that young friend of ours,
So gentle and so beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers. -
How DARE You?—An amusing little
episode recently occurred in a railroad
car. Shortly after the train had left
the depot, an old lady =jumped .-up and
addressed a gentleman seated behind
her, with " How dare you,? What are
you at ?" The astonished gentleman
replied that he had done nothing: -The
lady again seated herself, but in a few
moments arose, fall of, rage and terror,
and declared her neighbor was a "
Ilan," and, on arriving at the next sta
tion was about to:have him , -arrested,
when, luckily, the cause of her agitation
was discovered—in the shape of a goose,
which, placed in•a basket.under the seat
occupied by the lady had during the
voyage, amused. itself by: pecking at her
un'derstandings." The discovery of
the: criminal created great laughter
among the passengers.

MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1865.
The Search for John Smith.
John Smith married my father's great
uncle's eldest
_daughter, Melinda Bryne.
Consequently I was a relative to John.
John's family had often visited us at
our quiet country borne, and at each vis
it had most cordially pressed us to return
the compliment. .
Last October business called me sud
denly to the city of B—, where our
releitives resided, and without having
time to write and apprise them of my
coming, I was intending a visit to the
family of Mr. John Smith.
With my accustomed carelessness, I
had left his precise address at home in
my notebook ; but I thought little of it;
I could easily find him, I thought to my
self, as the cars set me down amid the
smoke and bustle at B—.
I inquired for my relative of the first
hackman I came across.
Ile looked at me with an ill suppress
ed grin. What was the fellow laughing,
at? To be sure my clothes were not of
the very latest cut, and it is not just
the thing for any one out of the army to
wear blue with bright buttons ; but my
coat was whole, and my Aunt Betsy had
scoured the buttons with whitening and
soft soap until they shone like gold. 1
repeated my question with dignity.
"Can you direct me to the residence
of Iklr. Smith ?"
Mr. ?" he said slowly
" Yes, sir, Mr, JOill2 Smith. lie mar
ried my father's great uncle's daughter,
Melinda."
"I don't think know a John Smith
with a wife Melinda."
John Smith seemed to he a common
noun with Lim, from the peculiar tone
ho used in speaking of that individual.
?" remarked I " then there is
more than one of that name in this city ?"
" I rather think there is."
"Very well, then. Direct me to the
nearest." The nearest is in West street.
Second left hand corner—you'll see the
name on the door."
I passed on, congratulating myself on
the cordial welcome . 1 should receive
from John and Melinda.
I soon reached the place—a handsome
house with the name on a silver door
plate—l rang the bell—a servant ap
peared.
" Mr. Smith in ?"
"No, sir; Mr. Smith is in the army."
"Mrs. Smith—is she ?"
"In the army ?--ob, no-8110'8 at the
beach,"
"This is Mr. John Smith's house, is
EtII
" It is."
" Was his wife's name Melinda, and
was she a Bryne before she was inßrried,
from Squashville."
The man reddened and responded an
grily.
"I'll not stand here to be insulted!
Make off with yourself or. I'll call the
police. I thought from the first that
you was an entry thief, but you don't
play no game on me !" and he banged
the door in my face.
I a thief ! if I had not been in such a
hurry to Lind the Smiths I should have
given that rascally fellow a sound chas
tising on the spot.
Inquiry elicited the fact that a John
Smith resided in Arch street. Thith 9 r
I bent my steps, A maid -servant
an
swered my ring.
" Mr. Smith in?"
Before
Be - fore the girl could reply, a big,
red faced man jumped out of the shad
ows behind the door,iad laid his hea . vy
hand upon my shoulder.
"Yes, air," he cried in a voice of
thunder. " Mr. Smith is in I Yes, sir ;
for once he'S in. He'siayed at home
day on purpose to catch you! andsnoW,
by Jupiter! I'll have my revenge I"
"Sir," said I, " there must be some
mistake. Allow me to inquire if you are
Mr. John Smith?"'
" I'll inform you about Mr. John
Smith in a way you won't relish,
_if you
don't settle the damages forthwith.
Five thOusand dollars is the very lowest
fignres—and you_ must leave .the coon-,
try .1"
"Good gracious !" I cried; " what do
you take me for? You'd,better be care
ful, or you'll get your head caved in l"
" I'll cave your head in for, you, you
young villain, you!" cried he, Springing
at me with his cane.
"Oh, John, dear John.l" exclaimed a
shrill femaleyoice, and a tall figure in
a sea of flounces bounced down the stair
way, 6 ' Don't_ don't I fgt.
_the love , of
heaven--..don't murder him 1 ."
" WhNo : the deuce dos ontake.me for V'
.
cried my temper rising:
.- .
It looks Well - for yotilto ask that
queittiOn.l l '- sneered the . man; "yon have
won my wife's heart, and are here now '
to plan to elope with her 1 I've found-it
all out—you needn't blush, and—"
" I beg your pardon. for interrupting
you," said I, "but I have never seen
your wife before. I perceive she. is not
Melinda, the eldest daughter, of my fath
er's great uncle—"
" Sir, do you deny you are William
Jones ? Do you deny that You are in
love with my wife?
"I am not a Jones—l have not the
honor, sir. My name is Parkwell, Hen
ry Parkwell, of Squashville 1" and with
a bow I took myself
After that I had called at the resi
dences of three John Smiths—none or
which was my Mr, Smith—and nothing
occurred worthy of note.
My nest Mr. Smith resided in Port
land street. Thither . I bent my steps.—
It was a very small house—evidently
not the house of wealth and,cleariliness.
I, made'my way up the. front door,
through a wilderness of old rags, broken
crockery, old tinware, etc:, scattering a
flock of bons, and rousing a snappish
little terrier from his nap on the steps.
A red faced woman answered my rap,
but before I could . make my customary
inquiry, she opened upon me like a two
edged butcher-knife,
".Well, of all the impudent rascals
that, ever. I see, you beat the lot !' I
wait to know if you had the cheek to
come back here again ? You'd like to
sell me another German silver tea-pot,
and another brass bosom- pin, to dear
Araminty—wouldn't you ?"
"By no means," said I : "I beg to
inform yea—"
"Oh, you needn't beg I We don't be:
lieve in beggars I I espose,you thought
I shouldn't know you—but T did! I
should know that black bag of yours in
Californy I Clear out of in premises,
or I'll lay my broom handle over you
If there is anything I hate, it's a ped
dler—especially a rascal like you !"
"Allow me to inquire," said I "if
Mr. Smith's wife was Melinda Bryne,
the eldest daughter of my father's—"
The broomstick was lifted; I heard
it cut the air like a minnie bullet, and
sprang down the steps into the street at
my best pace,
An angry man I do not fear; but who
can stand before an angry woman?
had rather face a roaring lion.
I called on two more Smiths—still
unsuccessful in my search. It was= get
ting near dark, and >I was more than
anxious -to reach my destination.
My next Mr. Smith was located in
Lenox street, It was twilight when I
rang the bell at his door.
A smiling fellow ridmitted me, fairly
forcing me into the hall before I could
utter a word. -
" Walk right in, sir, they are expect
ing you .l The ladies:will be down in a
moment, Miss Hattie is in the back
parlor. Walk right in, sir."
• I was gently pushed toward the door
of a shadowy apartment, and at, the en
trance I was announced: •
" Mr. Henry I"
The gas was not lighted and the apart
.
ment was iu seMi.darkness. I heard a
soft, quick footfall'on the carpet, and ' a
,pair of arms fell around' my neck, and a
pair of the sweetest lips on'the footstool
touched miae; and 'good gracious—for a
moment Abe world.switm ; .andi felt as
if I had been stewed,in honey, and dis
tilled into Lubin's best triple ,extract of
roses 1
"Oh„ flanry—my: dearest and 'best!
Why don't you.kiis, me, Henry 7" cried
a voice like music, " have yowceased to
care for mei".• and again the,kisa was,re
peated. • •
Who could resist the temptation ? I
am naturally a diffident man, but have
some - human nature in me, and I paid

“Oh, Henry,"l had so feared that being

"•I beg:your pardon, ma'am," 'said -I
" there is•evidently some niistake. May

closet, demolishing at leaat a dozen
plates and as many glass tumblers.
I sprang to my . feet—Leeized my bag,
and without a word , dasbed oat of the
house.
I knocked over a man who was pass
ing at the moment, and landed myself
on my head, in the ,gitter. eThe man
picked himself up, and , was about to
make a display of muscle,' when the
glare of the street lamp revealed to. me
the well-known face.of my John Smith.
Vureka I" cried I. "Allow me to
inquire if your wife was Melinda, the
eldest daughter of my father's great
uncle Byrne ?"
" She was ?" said be grasping my
hand, "and I am delighted to see you!
But confound it ! —you needn't have

But I most cut my story short.
He took me home with. him;, and I
had a good visit,; I saw Melinda• to my
heart's, content. Nay more—l met and
was properly introduced to Hattie
Smith—and—well I am having a new
suit of clothes made—and in doe time
they will be married—myself in them—
to the young lady just alluded to.

What sublime, unknown, uncompre

in the past to produce the silent resig

to say? Within such a heart- there..is
buried a tragedy of fate, full, of endless
melancholy and -renunciation.; full of
tranquil pains and inaudible

full of deceived,, disappointed, .derided,
and, what is worse, of never comprehen

How many have taken upon them
selves the burden of a household„ stand

danger from those committed to their
trust, toiling, striving, educating little
brothers and dear young sisters, thinking
not of themselves, but laying- ail- upon

A King Combusting
`On the first confinement of seidlitz
pthiders to, the capital of Delhi, the
monarch was deeply interested in the
accounts of the refreshing beverage. A
box was brought to the King in full
caurt, arid - the interpreter explained to
his gajesty bow it was to be used. In
to a goblet he put the contents of the
twelve blue papers, end, having added
water, the king drank it off. This was
the alkali, and the royal countenance
exhibited no signs of satisfaction. It
was then,explained that in the combi
nation of the two powders lay the luxu
ry ; and the twelve white powders were
quickly dissolved in water, and as eager
ly swallowed by his Majesty. With a
shriek that will never be forgotten, the
monarch rose, staggered, and, in his
agony, screamed " . Hold me down !"
Then, rushing from the throne, he lay
prostrate on the floor. There he lay
during, the long-continued effervescence
of.the compound, spirting like ten thou
sand pennyworths of imperial pop, and
believing himself in the agonies of death
-a <Melancholy and convincing proof
that kings are mortals.
