AUTUMN WOODS. 



BY BIIVA>T. 



Ere, in ilic nor:lcrn gnle, 

 The »uinincr Ircsscs of ilie Ircfs arc gone, 

 The woodj of Auimnii, all ar.mud our »alc, 



Have pui Ujoir glor> oii. 



The tnounlains ihal infolil 

 lu iheir wide sweep, ihe colored landscape rounJ, 

 Seem greups of giaiil kin^s in purple and giiU, 



Thai guard Ihc eiichanlcd ground. 



I roam the woods that crown 

 The upland, where ihc mingled splendors glow. 

 Where the gay company of Irecs look do« » 



On Ihe green GelUi below. 



My steps arc uoi alono 

 In these bright walks; the sweet soulh-wesl, at play, 

 Flies, rustling, where the painted leaves are strown 



Along the winding way. 



And far in heaven, the while. 

 The sun, that sends thai gale lo wander here. 

 Pours out on ihcfsir earth his quiel smile, — 



The sweetest of the year. 



Where now ihc solemn shade, 

 Verdure and gloom where many branches meet ; 

 So grateful, when the noon of summer made 



The valleys sick wiih heat. 



Let in through all the irccs 

 Come Ihc strange rays ; the forest depths are bright ; 

 Their sunny-colored foliage, in Ihe breeze, 



Twinkles like beams of light. 



The rivulet, late unseen, 

 When bickering through the shrubs its waters run, 

 Shines with the imago of its golden screen, 



And glimmerings of the sun. 



But, 'ncath yon crimson tree. 

 Lover to listening maid might breathe his Qamc, 

 Nor mark, within its roseate canopy. 



Her blush of maiden shame. 



Oh, Autumn ! why .so soon 

 Depart the hues that make thy Ibresis glad ; 

 Thy gcnde wind and thy fair sunny noon. 



And leave tlice wild and sad !

 death. The animal in vain attempted to force tbi tQ\t,

 pa^sinf;, he wieliled the pitchfork, with as mud 

 dexterity as could lie expected from one wh 

 ner»eri and sinews hail been Mrung together for a fci 

 least three score years, and plunged the tints o i

 quarters of the creature, when, tn his utter aston M9<

 before receiving the pitch fork, let out one lio 

 more, 03 the saying is, and went down the hill 

 if the ' old boy' bad kicked an end. The old get

than they u,-ed to be. This, we apprehend, s-hould 

 c.xcile no surprise : it naturally follows from the 

 manner in which they are brought up, the cot- 

 tage in w hich they are all trained, was once the 

 seat of ."implicity, lionesty and fidelity ; it has 

 been converted into a nursery of discontent, iu- 

 I subordination and profligacy." 



.Agricultural. — .Vbout ten days since, Mr Benja- 



I inin ("lurke, of llampslead, Ciueen's county, 



I threshed 140 of the common sized sheaves of 



Rye, the growth of the season, which produced of 



clean grain 11 bushels, being an average of one 



bushel from ten sheaves. 



Our Inst accounts from Queen's county say, 

 that wheat, oats, and lute planted corn, ore very 

 good — hiirkwheat, potatoes, and early planted 

 corn, rather light. — .V. Brunswick Gaz. 



The Thru Doctors, — An eminent author saitli 

 "There are three doctors, Dr Diet, Dr Quiet, and 

 DrMcrryman — they are reported to be excellent 

 nhysicians ; and if kept at a constant pension, their 

 fees will not be very costly." 



It is staled in a AVarren, [N. J.] paper, that 

 three Pcniisylvanians are digging near the Dela- 

 ware for inonej'. They have excavated to the 

 depth of 60 feet. They would do better to go 

 nearer to the city and dig potatoes.

Sugar/rom Beets. — A letter from Nantz, dated 

 6th August, states, tlint imported sugars were 

 very low and daily declining — tlial the culture of 

 beets, which is actively prosecuted, will in a little 

 while cause a revolution in the sugar trade : the 

 sugars of the colonies not being able to sustain a 

 coinpetitiou with those from beets.

Jl Bear Hunt. — The Bellows Falls paper gives 

 ail aiiiusing account of a recent bear bunt. 



" A fanner, who had found some of his sheep 

 dead in liis pasture, supposed he was visited by a 

 bear. Ho accordingly set his traps, kept three 

 dogs out, and kept a watch. The result of these 

 cflbrts were as follows: — caught in the traps — 

 one dog — one calf — two sheep — and one of the 

 ' old man's' daughters! — This last was a mis-for- 

 tune. But the old man with a truly philosojihical
