Calendar for October.
“ The wood-path is carpeted over with leaves,
The glories of Aurunx decay ;
The Goodness of plenty has bound up her
sheaves, *
And carried the harvest away.”
Bunur, in his beautiful poem on the
“ Death of the Flowers,” where he so
vividly describes our autumn scenery,
says ;
“ The melancholy days have come, the saddest
of the year,”
and in so saying, only utters the com-
mon sentiment of nearly all our people.
There is, in one sense a melancholy as-
pect in the dying year. The bright. full-
ness and vigor of the grass and leaves
and flowers, has shrunk and bowed a lit-
tle, as the first touches of age and care
upon a beautiful woman. " Every day,
a flower drops from out the wreath that
bindsits brow--not to be renewed. Every
hour the sun looks more and more ask-
anc_e upon it, and the winds, these sum-
mer flatterers, come to it less fawningly.
Every morning and evening takes away
from it a portion of that light which
gives beauty to its life, and chills it more
and more into that torpid which at
length constitutes the temporary death.
And yet October is beautiful still, no less
" for what it gives than what it takes
away; and even for what it gives in the
very act. of taking away.”
Spring brings its gentle airs, its burs-
ting buds and expanding flowers, and
summer puts on its full dress of “ living
green ;” but autumn like the lady who
doubts whether her charms are as attrac-
tive as they once were, puts on her live-
ry of many hues. and spam gorgeous
colors.
October is an iinporiaiii iiiuiilli to the
niriner in many particular.-. Great care
is llf‘.(2{‘é$a|'y in preserviiig the crops he
has labored so assiduously to obtain,
and in preserving the seed upon which
he is to depend for future crops.
Apples.—Unusual care with this fruit
will be well repaid this )ear by the high
price which they will command. Ap-
ples will keep better by being placed on
frames, in a cool cellar, as soon as taken
from the tree; or, if put in barrels, place
them at once in the cellar, rather than
leave them out exposed during the day,
to the hot. sun and to the low tempera-
ture of the nights. These constant
changes are injurious. Great care is
necessary in the first place, in
picking and asserting them.-
Half a peek of bad apples in a barrel
would spoil the sale of the. whole with
many a good customer; assort them into
different grades, and the high price on
the best will bring up a fair average on
the whole. All articles sent to market
should be assorted in this way. Sales
are then quick, as the whole matter is
readily understood by both parties.
Roots.—Sugar beets and mangle
wurizle should be secured before any se-
vere frosts occur. But as soon as arri-
ved at maturity, which may be known
by the discolored and dead leaves, they
should be harvested, or they lose some
of their nutricious properties.
Ruta bagas, and flat turnips may re-
main till the ground begins to freeze;
they still grow when heavy frosts occur,
and when the weather is quite cold.
Tabbages may also remain out till
snow falls. A fine way to preserve
them for winter use is to dig a trench in
the cellar, and after taking the plants up
roots and all, set. them closely in the
trench, wherexhey will keep fresh and
hard tillspring, if the light is excluded.
Cauliflower: may be kept in the same
manner, and will throw out fine heads
on plants that had just. began to head
when taken from the garden. But they
must have the light-
All roots that have come to maturity
and are placed away for winter use, are
better for having the light excluded.
SquasIi¢s.—These may be kept
through the entire winter by hanging
them up iu,too-us where they will not

Afew days since a Mr. C , g gen.
tleman in appearance, and possessed of
excellent address, repaired to n fashiona-
ble boarding-house on Sixth street, not
far from Race, and secured a room. In
a few days he became acquainted with a
young, beautiful and wealthy Miss, and
soon became attached to her and propos-
ed marriage. In the evening the lady
gave her, consent, and the evening for the
consummation for the nuptials was fixed.
The day before the wedding was to take
place, the lady, unexpectedly to Mr. C.,
declined marrying him, although the min-
ister had been sent for. Mr. C. went
to the minister and informed him of
what had occurred-, and-told him his ser-
vices would ‘not be needed. The next
day the lady retracted her refusal, and
again consented that the nuptials should
go on. The arrangements were perfect-
ed for the event-—confectionuries and re-
freshments were procured quite plante-
ously. The minister was again notified,
and the license procured, and a number
of ladies and gentlemen were invited to
be present.
A: 4 o'clock the lady sent for Mr. C.,
who had gone to his room to dress him-
self, and informed him that she wished a
private interview with him in her room.
Mr. C., was soon in her presence, when
she again informed him that she could
not marry him, ache was a comparative
__!l.|'allg“l', and she thought it improper to
act so ta.-ii-y. In vain did Mr. C., en-
ireat ll!-:1‘ to coii.-‘em, urging the peculiar
predicaznent her refusal would place him
in. She continued obstinately to refuse.
The hour arrived, and the party had as.
sembled in the large parlors, and the sup-
per table prepared. The betrothed cou-
ple were notified that all was ready and
the chagrined Mr. C., appeared in the
parlor and informed the company and
the minister what had again occurred;
that the wedding would not take place;
but. desired that all present would put-
take of what had been furnished; and
enjoy themselves in the best possible way.
In the course of the evening, the young
lady appeared and united in the hilarity
of the occasion; while Mr. C., despond.
ently, was seated in one corner of the
room, at intervals receiving the sympa-
thies of all present. The next morning,
the laday left for Louisville, and has not
been heard of since. She is of respecta-
ble parents, and a lady of excellent repu-
tation; and why she should conduct her.

Gon GAVE In: ruis 1-IoMI.—One winter
evening, while the family were, as usual,
gathered around the centre table, a neigh-
bor drove up, and entering soon with
hearty friendliness, had Kitty on his
knee. “Come, Kitty,” said he, ‘-won't
you go home and live with me '.’" The
child looked up into his face: the golden
curles fell backwards to her shoulders,
and her deep blue eyes met his, as she
answered, “God gave to me this
home."
The tone was simple as the words, and
the silvery voice was childhood’a; yet
for a moment the sound seemed as if it
wafted from a far-off world, where angels
only dwelt. A shadow——no not a shad.

A Thrilling Voyage.
, We have before given abrief notice of
the thrilling and rather unexpected aeri-
al voyage of a young man in California.
The following further particulars will be
found of thrilling interest:
One of the most remarkable balloon
ascensions on record took place from
Oakland, on San Francisco Bay, opposite
the City, on Sunday the 20th 111:. Sonic
two thousand, persons were collected to
see an ascension by a. Mr. Kelley. The
balloon was about half inflated, and four
attempts to ascend were made by differ-
ent men without success. ' The balloon
merely dragged them along on the
ground. The ear and bcllut were then
detached, and a board lubed across the
hoop to which the net. work was attach-
ed. A boy of 16, named Joseph Gates,
who had been selling oranges, asked to
be permitted to get in. Without calcu-
lating the danger, and anxious to see the
fun, he was permitted to do so. With-
out any knowledge of the balloon, or in-
struction, except to pull the valve rope
when he wished to come down, he left
the earth and was rapidly home away to
the clouds. .
For an hour and a. half the balloon was
seen rising higher and higher, and rece-
ding fnrther, until it was lost to view. His
destruction was deemed inevitable, and a
feeling of great indignation against the
owner of the balloon was excited in the
community, mingled with the most intense
anxiety to hear the result. Strange to say,
on the following evening the heroic youth
made his appearance in the City on the
Sacramento boat, having landed in Sui-
sun valley, fifteen miles from Benicia,and
sixty from Oakland, in about two hours
and a quarter after he had started, with.
out any serious injury. During the fol-
lowing day, he was the "lion” of the city
and realized a considerable amount of
money from the account of his voyage.-
The Alta Californian says:
He retained his presence of mind
throughout, during the hour and a half
that he was in the air, in which time he
traveled about fifty miles.
He was excited when he started, but
when he had risen a slight distance he
became perfectly collected, and leaned
back in an easy position against the cords
Here he sat, and for a long time heard
the cries of the crowd below, and saw
the whole bay and the country from San
Francisco to Sacramento.
The only unpleasant sensation he felt
was cold in his feet. He took off one
shoe, and tied a handkerchief about his
foot, and then took off the other shoe, but
dropped his handkerchief, and had to put
on that shoe as it was before.
He wanted to come down after the bal-
loon started, but the rope broke; but he
was not disconcerted nor frightened.-
He knew very well whither the balloon
was going and wanted to land near Be-
nicia, but could not climb the ropes to
cut the balloon as he wished. This he
knew was his only hope, and be perseve-
red until he succeeded in getting up to
the body of the balloon and cuttings hole
with his penknife. He was careful not
to make the hole too large, and when he
was satisfied that it was of the right size
he slipped down to the hoop. The bal-
loon descended very gradually, and as it
reached the open plain he sprang off.-
The balloon, lightened of its weight, rose
again rapidly.
He then walked five miles before he
reached a house, and the next day he
walked to Benicia. This aeronantic tour
is, undoubtddly, one of the most remarka-
ble on record. When we consider the
youth and inexperience of the navigator,
the uuexpectedness of the trip, the scan-
ty accommodations, his succees in climb-
ing up the cords and cutting the balloon
in a perfectly successful manner, and his
fortunate escape from the many danger!-
the voyage has scarcely an equal 70!’ 1'0.
mantic interest from the time of Mont-
golfier to the present day. To climb the
cords was a labor of extreme difficulty»
for they were only about a quarter of an
inch in thickness, and the distance from
the hoop to a point practicable for cut.
ting, was about twelve feet. But few
persons could perform the feat of climb-
ing such cords near the earth, and much
less three miles above, for that was about
the height to which he ascended. He
saw not a little danger, but his voyage
will become famous, and his name will
be spoken from Europe to Australia. He
can sell oranges and peanuts with a per-
fect rush for a few days. One of the first
questions, after his arrival here, was
what his partner had done with the mon-
ey for the oranges and peanuts in the
basket he left behind. He was nst en,
tirely absorbed by the romance of his
vi yage, nor forgetful by the fright.
The Camera Mercantile, of Genoa,
quotes a letter of the 15th, mentioning
the discovery at Pompeii of three human
skeletons, evidently belonging to one
family, together with that of a dog.-
The posture in which they were found,
led to the presumption that they were
engaged in flight at. the time of the erupt-
ion, but were overtaken by the lava, the
dog refusing to leave his master. They
had bags of gold and silver coin with
them; one of the skeletons displaying
rings and ornaments, was that of a young
girl, probably the daughter of tho fugi-
« ..‘-23'."

Mrs. Denison, one of the editors of the
Boston Olive Branch, thus speaks of the
refreshing qualities of the country news-
paper press, which some of the city fry
affect to despise:
We like country newspapers. With
a few exceptions they are capital vehi-
cles of the thought. Freshness, origin-
ality and tact characterise: many of their
editorials. They are purged from the
gnile of great and crowded cities. They
are sent forth from the midst. of nature’:
molt beautiful things, birds, trees and
flower»-woods, valleys, and the broad,
free blue haven. Those who occupy
the seat editorial, ihough they may be
learned in the classics, are not wordly in
the common sense of the word. They
go not wearily to the sanctum day after
day, with brains steeped in wine, and
aching with reminiscences of gas-light
and crowded fates. They are not obli
ged to fill their columns with long des-
criptions of whirling dancers and hack-
neycd stars. They have few sickening
details of rows and murders. Untainted
by city vices, they take high and pure
views of life. Altogether one feels to
breathe freer, and to think better of hi.-.
fellows, after reading a right smart coun'
try paper.
In their corners are many little effu-
sions of choice poetry. Often they are
superior in freshness and feeling to much
that is lauded by the city press. They
bring with them rural pictures of old
farm houses half hidden by the foliage of
summer.
There is some cherished corner, the
blooming couutry lass, like a beautiful
wild flower in seclusion, pens her pretty
thoughts, and sends them under some
anonymous signature to the village edit-
or. He puzzles his brain to think who
it can be. Conjures before his vision
all the Lauras and Marys who cast sly
glances at him in meeting, or whisper to
each other as he passes, "that's the edit‘
or.”
He little dreams it is the rosy maiden
of whose substantial bread and butter he
has sometimes caught sight of her
through the steam of the—shades of dis-
tinguished authors !—the wash-tub——but
never thought she gave time to the mu-
sea. It is so nevertheless. He is favor-
ed some day by the proud old farmer-—
father, or devoted mother, with a glance
into that favorite study. Of course Mat-
tie knows nothing about it.—Wliat a
charming wife she would make 3-Good
poetry and good cooking!
Hereafter commend us to the country
paper. Sparks from the thought-anvil
fly thick and fast; joyous and bright
they are—the editor is married! The
country paper is more of a gem than ev-
er; and the reason is because "woman,
oh; man is double you.”
Success to country newspapers!
