.
A Souj; for October.
October sfcqsws thc woodland o'or -
With many a brilliant dolor;
Thc world is brighter than before,
Why should our hearts be duller?'
Sorrow aud the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather
Ah me! this glory and thia grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season, this
The time when friends aro flying;
And lovers now, with many a kiss,
Their lone farewells arc sighing.
? Why is earth so gaily dressed?'
This pomp that autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every fliest
A bridal garment wearoth.
Each one of us may often hore,
? On some blue morn hereafter,
Retur? to view the gaudy year,
But not in boyish laughter. -
We shall thor, be wrinkled mm.
Our brows with silver laden.
And thou thia glen mayest seek again,
But never more a maiden.
Nature perhaps foresees that spring
'Will fcqaich her teeming bosom,
And thinks afuw brief months will bring
The bird-4be bee-tko blossom.
. Ahl these forests do not know,
Or would less brightly wither.
The virgin that adorns*them so
Will never more 'come hither.
TH? HIKTOKY or PEWS. -In Anglo
Saxon rind some of tho Noi'inon
churches of carly date, a stone bench
was-to project within tho wall, run?
ning around the whole interior except
the East end. In Eil 7, they are rep?
resented as sitting on the ground or
. standings About this timo, people in?
troduced low, rude, three-legged
idoors promiscuously over tho church.
Wooden seats were introduced soon
after the Norman conquest. In 1287,
a decree was issued in regard to the
wrangling for seats, so common that
none should call any seat in the
church his own, except noblemen and
patrons, each entering and holding
the one he first lound. As we ap?
proach the Reformation, from 1*530 to
1540, seats were more appropriated,
the entrance bein"; guarded by cross?
bars, and the initial letters engraved
them., Immediately after the lie
formation," the pow system prevailed, j
as we learn, from a complaint tho poor j
commons addressed to Henry VIII,
in 1540. in reference to his decree
that a Bible should be in every church, j
at liberty for all to read, because they j
feared it might be taken into the j
"quyre" qr some "pue." In 1608, j
galleries were introduced. As early ?
as 1614. pews were arranged to afford
comfort by being baized or cushioned, i
while the sides around were so liigh |
as to hide those within; a device of ?
the Puritans to avoid l>eing seen by
the officers who report those who did
not stand when the hame of Jesus
was mentioned. The' services jfwere
often greatly protracted, sd tnafcmany
would fall asleep; hence Swift^jpithy
allusion- . I
"A bedstead of thc antique mode, . j
Compact, of timoor ?nany a load;
Sueh as mr ancestors did uso,
Was metamorphosed into pews;
Which still their ancient nature keep,
Bv lodging folks disposed to (deep.'!
With the reign of Charles I, the j
reasons' for the heightening of the j
sides disappeared.
TRAVELING 'IN .ScornAND.-The
Paris papers have an anecdote of two
well known French actors who tra- j
veled this autumn in Scotland. They
put up at a miserable inn for the
night, faute de mieux, where the nse
of soap was clearly not the custom of
that part of the country, and the
sandy-headed waiter's hair was a
thing of entanglement, and zoologi?
cally inclined. The evening dinner
was brought in by this uncanny Boot,
and consisted of roast beef and plum
pudding. F. caught sight of the
waiter outside, with the dish in one
hand and "brushing his hair with the
other over the beef, to present himself
in the most Adonis-like form. F.
was horror-struck, but said nought,
and left D. to thc foll enjoyment of
the meat,, believing what his eye had
- not seen his heart would not grieve
about, and F. made his dinner en?
tirely off the pudding. 1)., having
dined, went to smoke and speak to
the landlady. He found her in the
kitchen, but, coming suddenly upon
her, saw her snatch nj) a cotton night?
cap. The proof of the pur] ose to
which it had been applied was clear.
He accused her of it. She confessed
the pudding had been boiled in it,
having nothing handier, and that it
belonged to Sandy. Mutual explana?
tions ensued between F. and D., and
one bas not been aide to keep the
Secret from his Parisian friends. *
? -?
It is noticed as a remarkable fact
that the Northern Methodist bishop!
who, twenty years ago, voted in favoi
of the right of the Southern Church
to its property, are now demanding
that their title to the same ?hall bc
annulled-in (Other words, that thc
^question shall be re-opened and re
?agitated.
A Constantinople correspondent,
writing on the $3d nit., to tho New
York Tribune, says thoji number of
deaths in the Turkish capital, during
the fifty days' prevalence of cholera,
..were not less than fifty thousand,
though the official return of the Tjurk
I ish Government largely under-stated
I them. Only ono death has occurred
j among tho American residents, that
j of a little child of the Eev. Mr.
! Washbnrne. The average mortality
j was sixty-five per cent, of those at
! tacked, while of those treated by the
I medical-men of th? American Mission
i only fifteen per cent. died. The
j writer says tlfe cholera folkowcel no
. known laws, raging with the greatest
' severity in the highest, best venti
. lated, and most cleanly quarters of
. the city, where in previous epidemics
; not a single case had occurred. The
: mortality among Europeans was much
f greater ?ityer thc disease had begun to
? decline than during its height. Per
I sous who had fled from infected dis
\ tricts, apparently in perfect health,
I have generally been attacked as soon
! as they reached their new places of
? refuge. The writer adds:
I "It is said that the swallows and
j several other kinds of birds deserted
j the city at the commencement of the
i epidemic, and are only how beginning
to return-and I believe this to be a
I fact. It is also said that the gilding
on the caecques in the Golden Horn
and Bosphorus has tarnished, espe?
cially in those localities where the
. cholera has raged most severely. The
summer has been delightful. I have
never known more perfect weather in
Constantinople. For two months be?
fore the cholera came, the health ol
the city was better than it lias been
fot years, and the weather has re?
mained the sanie during the epidemic
that it was before. I. have carefully
read the description of the "cholera in
I "Wood's Theory and Practice of Me?
dicine," and it is wonderfully correct,
although the treatment of the disease
there recommended is not, as a whole,
the one which I should recommend.'
The whitewashing of the most emi?
nent wretches who have been gibl>et
ted in chains by history for man;,
centuries, is now the favorite oecujia
tion of the historian. Richard tht
Third, King John, Caligula, Nero,
the Borgias, and Benedict Arnold,
have all, within the last decade, beer
honorably acquitted ?f the fa-l?e ac
cusations which have so long tarnishes
their illustrious reputations, and thej
now rank among tho most Christian,
honored and enlightened gentlemer
of former times.
Louis Napoleon also, in his biston
of Jubus Caesar, has just put the firs
coat of whitewash upon Cataline, anc
expect* 1 >y the time the royal authoi
reaches the third volume of his worl
to turn the tables completely upoi
Cicero, that Malignant calumniator o
the most ex ? apiary young Roman o
his daj'. C.iin and Judas Iscario
are, wv believe, the only remainin;
gentlemen of unenviable distinctioi
whose characters have not felt th
beneficial effects of this whitewashinj
I process; but the learned German
I who, in a late work on "Noah and hi
j Time*," has triumphantly vindicate!
I the characters of the "sons of Anok
! and of the inhabitants of Sodom, in
tends taking Judas in hand as SOOJ
tts he can collect ?e documents beai
ing upon his case.
Dinner is said to be the most im
portant event of the day. A king'
cook's dinner memorandum has ju?
settled an important date. There i
a conflict of authority among th
chroniclers with regard to tho exac
date of the battle of Cressy. N
mean? were known by "which th
I doubt could be solved; but it chance
that the accounts of the king's kiteb
en for that period have survived th
lapse of time, in which the coo
claims to be reimbursed his charge
for preparing the royal dinner cac
day. The cook has mentioned th
place where from day to day he pei
formed his office, and thus the exa(
day is learned on which Edward dine
at Cressy. There is but one such daj
which was undoubtedly that of th
battle.
k gentleman, who had the curiosit
to spend a dime in answering an ai
vcrtisement which promised valuabl
advice for that amount; received b
mail the following antfwer: "Friem
I for your ten cents, postage, plea.'
find inclosed advice Virnich may be i
' great value to you. As many persoi
are injured for weeks, months, an
> years, by tho careless use of a knifi
> therefore, my advice is,"when you u.?
a knife, always whittle from you."

CHAI?LESTOX.-A gentleman who
has*"been absent from Charleston for
the short time of six weeks1; returned
in the host steamer from Kew York.
On walking up East Bay, his first ex?
clamation was tluit 04 surprise at wit?
nessing the wonderful improvements
that had been made in that section of
the city during his temporary lea\"e.
We assured him that the improve?
ments were not confined to any spe?
cial locality. On every street an?|
thoroughfare ' the marks of energy,
industry and enterprise wore plainly
visible. East Bay, six weeks ago, was
almost barron oi, open business places,
while now it is next to impossiblity
to rent abuilding'covereu with a roof.
Owners of buildings are actively en?
gaged repairing damages occasioned
by tire and water, and long before,
the repairs are completed, applications
ure received to occupy tho premises.
The same h#lds good with Meeting,
King und other principal streets.
Thor v is a great demand for stores
and warehouses all over the city. In
order to meet this demand, it will be
necessary for some measures to be?
taken towards restoring thc burnt
district to a habitable coudition. The.
city cannot afford to allow that large
aroa for valuable space to remain in
ruins. Let the owners of the pro?
perty commence at once to put up
larger and commodious buildings,
and when completed, there will be 110
need of begging for occupants. The
rents in Charleston are increasing
duily, which is another evidence of
j enhanced business activity. Stores,
: which three months ago could be ob
1 tai'.u-d for five hundred dollars per
annum, cannot now bo had for less
I than $1,500 and $2',Om) for the same
j term. Let, us continue ih the good
! work of city improvement. ?
[Charleston Courier, 29///.
i IN A WRETOJIED CONDITION.-A
! friend of ours* who ha.s been working
for tin; Montgomery and West. Point
! Railroad, art the Six Mile Station, in
I formed us the other duy that no one 1
] can conceive, without ocular demon
: stratton, of tho wretched condition di
'< the "freedmen" in tho large' camp
. located around that station. He thinks
! their filth and wretchedness exceed
any picture giren him of their con?
dition while huddled and packed to?
gether in the bend?opposite this city.
! They were filthy pnough and indolent
, enough, ln*uU conscience, when in a
i state of slavery, with masters to look
! after them and from motives o? hu
1 inanity and self-interest to compel
j thern#to observe some decency and
I cleanliness. Now, however, left to
j themselves, instantaneously set free,
i for which they hod had no previous
i preparation, and. without any con
' straint, 110 wonder they are showing
j out the real "nigger," andvieingwith
I the brute cr?ation. We really feel
I gorry {or the poor, ignorant, filthy
("Cr?atures*,' and hope that the "Fi*ed
i men's Bureau" will yet better their
i condition. Our friend walked through
i the camp, accompanied by several
. "freedmen" in ?his employ, all of
; whom expressed themselves disgusted
; with the sights, and said if that was
j freedom they wanted none of it, in
; tho freedman camps at least.
[Montgomery Ledger.
JL FEW EXAMTLES.-The extermi?
nation of the negro race is already
beginning. A gentleman tells us of
one who left her old cabin and came
here with her four children to seek
work, when.f or months past there has
not boen work and money enough in
Columbus for half the people in it.
The negress, still wanting to be in
town, built her a rude hut*near
Girard, and in a short time three of
the children died and were buried in
the bushes near liv. Another woman,
who came here, and went afterwards
to the country, but not to the "old
place," hag lost two out of three chil?
dren in a week. Neglect, waa tho
cause ?of both deaths. These are not
rare cases. In all towns they are ra?
pidly dying.
One of thc "Hessings attendant upon
freedom is the neglect of children by
their mothers. A lady told ns of a'
hired negress who left the lot and her
babe for over thirty hours, and feel?
ing insulted when asked why she had
left, replied, "thc fewer children the
less work."-Columbus (Ga.) Sun.
The li ft? of ex-Governor Brown, of
Georgia, was threatened on his ar?
rival at Knoxville, Tennessee, one
day last week, by somo railroad em?
ployees, who charged that he had
issued an order last year for the hang?
ing of every railroad person found in
the employment of the United States.
A similar scelie, in a moro violent
form, was enacted on the arrival of
Governor Brown at Chattanooga.
The military interfered, protected the
Governor, "and queMed the disturb
