AUTUMN. 
Brown leaves and golden, driven by the 
wind, 
And sadly seeking some lone spots of 
earth 
Where they may rest in peace, mourn 
those behind, 
Left struggling where they flourished 
from their birth. 
The songsters in the dripping woods are 
mute, 
The swallows, in large flocks, for flight 
prepare, 
And twittering sweetly as a fairy 
lute, 
Their parting song floats on the chilly 
air. 
And one by one the night-moths cease 
their flight, 
The beetles’ headlong pace is grown 
more calm, 
And evening’s breath comes in the misty 
light, 
Devoid of Flora’s tributary balm. 
The moon shines wan and coldly from 
on high, 
And crowns the distant hills with 
golden sheen ; 
The borealis shimmers in the sky, 
Then melts away as if in vision 
seen. 
The glow-worm’s light is quench’d ; the 
joyous hum 
Of bustling bees falls no more on the 
ear; 
The cricket on the hearth chirps out’ 
“ I’ve come 
To warn you that the winter’s drawing 
near.” 
So Autumn, with his face of ruddy 
brown, 
Leans on his staff, and, tired with 
sunny broils, 
He calmly waits for Winter’s snowy 
gown 
To hide therein the traces of his 
toils.

THE BRITISH TORTRICES. 
BY S. J. WILKINSON. 
This work forms one 8vo volume* 
uniform with the series of the ‘ Insecta 
Britannica,’ and contains descriptions 
of all the British species of Tortricina, 
with observations on their habits and 
localities. 
“ Mr. Wilkinson has described, with 
great accuracy, from original specimens, 
three hundred species of these insects. 
As this has been done with the skill 
of a master, the work must take itjs 
place beside the great descriptive works 
devoted to other families of insects.” —
