Selected Poetry,
AUTUMNO
Wlcoral yo trees, in dying verdtire olad,
Weepiig your golden tears on all below;
Htail, lovely Autumn days, )vhose aspot nd
Reaghts moy sight and softens all my woe I
Wihl thoughful step, In lonely woodland
path,
1 love to mark (ho year's retreating form
Whein, sombre as the mournful shades.of
deal If,
The -in't veiled rays scarco tell the ap.
proach of morn.
Yes; in those Autumn days, when nalure
dies,
lr glory all beauteous Mhings I soo,
Tht e farewoll of a friend, tie last. low sighs
That waft from dying lips the last sweet
smile to me.
So ready from the shore of life to spring,
Weeping for summer days of hope oeg
past,
I still look back with envy's poignant sting,
And view departed joys Whio yet no joys
possessed.
Farth, sun, vales, hattire, beautiful and fair
For you, on death's dark verge, a tear I'll
shed;
ho lovol, is the light, so pure the air,
Thatshines and breathos around the dy
ing head.
Yet to the dregs Ithis cup of life I'll drain,
Tilis mIgled cup of Iectar and of gall
Still in its dept hs, all hidden, imay roinuin
One drop of life to compensate for all.
Percbance all shronded in futurity,
Some bliss, by hopo unseen, I may des
cry;
Perchance some sister soul my soul may see,
To road my spirit with a kindred eye.
The flower resigns its perfumo to (ho gale,
Breathing Its iltal sweetnesses oro it die;
My soul exlhal3 i, sorrow, like he Wail
Of some low strain of mournful melody.

Is Payment in Greonbaoke Repudiation?
Repudiation haunts somo Jacobin
editors liko Banquo's ghost, and will
not down at their bidding. They are
howlimg against the payment of the na
tional debt in . greenbacks, becauso it
will h)e repudiation. If payment of
bonds in green*backs is repudiation, then
the government in '1862 forced every
creditor to accept, repidiation, and said
it was moral, just and necessary. The
iational debt was contracted in greon
backs. Isn't it just to pay Shylock in
