POETRY. From Harper's Monthly Magazine.

O C T O B E B .

On hill and field October's glories fade; 0'ar hlU and field the blackbirds southward fly; '

The brown leaves rustle down the forest glade, Where naked branches make a fitful shade,

And the last blooms of Autumn withered He.

The berries on the hedgerow ripen w e l l -Holly and cedar, burning-bush and brier ;

The partridge drums lit some half-hidden dell, Where all the ground Is gemmed with leaves that fell

Last storm from the tall maple's crown of fire.

The chirp of crickets and the hum of bees Com* faintly up from marsh and meadow-land,

Where reeds and rushes whisper in the breexe, And sunbeams slant between the moss-grown trees.

Green on the grass and golden on the sand.

4 From many a tree whose langled boughs are bare ^

Lean the rich clusters of the clambering vine ; i October's mellow hazes dim the air Along the uplands and the valley, where

The distant steeples of the village shine.

A down the brook the dead leaves whirling go ; Above the brook the scarlet sumacs burn ;

The lonely heron sounds his note of woq^ In gloomy forest-swamps, where rankly grow

The crimson cardinal and feathery fern.

Autumn Is sad ; a cold blue horizon Darkly encircles checkered fields and farms,

Where late the gold of ripening harvests shone ; But bearded grain and fragant hay are gone.

And Autumn mourns the loss of Summer's charms.

Yet, though our Summers change and pass away— Though dies the beauty of Ihe hill and pla in-

Though warmth and color fade with every d a y -Hope passes not, and something seems to say

That all our brightest joys shall come again.

And If the flowers we nurture with such care Must wither, though bedewed with many tears,

They shall arise in some diviner air, To bloom again, more fragrant and more fair.

And gladden us through all the coming years'.

The sun sinks slowly toward the far-off west; The breeze Is freshening from the far-off shore -

So come, fair eve, and bring each weary breast That sense of tranquil ^oy, of gentle rest.

Felt In the happy Aatumna goae before !

CONCLQPi^.

"Theopbilus!"-fl[ cried, in a stage whisper; "wake up ! quick !"

He turned over like a sick buffalo. "Oh, Theoph P' bending nearer and giving

him a slight shake, "do get up ! ttere's a ma?i in Hie house /"

"Ye-e-s," grunted my natural protector, "I'm a man ; g o to sleep dear."

There's no use mincing the matter. I did get agitated ; I pulled his hair, poked him, jerk­ed the pillow from under his head, pulled his hair again, and finally restored him to conscious­ness, i"

As thoroughly alert now as myself, he sprang to the floor, and, after a few hasty tip-toe prep­arations, started for the basement pistol in hand.

I rushed frantically into the children's room and eat on the foot of their bed, inwardly pray­ing that the robber's blood might not be upon my poor husbands soul.

Good Heavens ! The stealthy steps were com­ing up the stairs—approaching my very door !

I flew and locked i t i "Em," said Theoph's voire, outside, "if you

want fun come down stairs." Decidedly relieved, 1 hastened into the hall.

He motioned me, to follow him silently. Ar­rived at the head of the kitchen stairs, Theophi-ras j a m m e d the corner of his dressing-gown into his mouth, and made signs for me to look.

There, on the lowest step, aat A g g y ; a light­ed candle and the cake-box, open, on the floor, beside her; and on her lap a half-eaten apple-pie, which she was rapidly demolishing.

"Aggy /" I cried in an awful voice.

The pie fell from her lap as, with a Bcream, she darted up, flew to the end of the kitchen hall and stood at bay with her back against the door.

"Aggy," said I, "what in the world possessed you to come down here, like a thief, at this hour of the night, to take what did not belong to you »"

She crouched to the floor, looking up at us nervouBly. Something In the expression of both reassured her, "

"Couldn' help it nohow, missy ; I was most starved. Don't lick this niggar dis time, missy.

She had eaten three hearty meals that day, to my certain knowledge, but a chance glimpse into the dining-room pantry had proved too much For her.

"I shall not whip you, -Aggy," said I, "though, you have done a very wrong act. Put the cake-box bacfc in the pantry."

She obeyed.

"Now go- to bed, and never attempt anything of this kind again. ' Bfryon hear?"

"Yes, missy. Tee sorry fur 'sturbin' yon, missy, I jess-is," answered -Aggy, bending fur­tively to the floor, and clapping, a big piece "Of the broken pie into her month; ''but I likes 'em drefluL" • • • - . -

Agreeably to a sign from Theopbilus, the ctemse|'jJrecetTeaiy in our ascent tvith perfect decorum, uWiT half-way up the garret flight, when, apparently seized with some droll idea-Concerning the night's adventure, she broke out i n aJtoud ."Gorryf' and, doubling herself Tjift. laughter, bounded, with something between, spring find a caper, intoJter. room.. „In a mo-merit or $iro we heard, her 'clear voice fal

ing the little darling almost into spasms; and, when not watched, invariably going up stairs outside the balustrade, to the delight of the chil­dren, who risked their necks daily in humble imitation. Shoes and stockings were her es­pecial detestation; and in many a delightful barefoot hour did she elude my vigilance, some­times going like

"Diddle, diddle dumpling, my son John, With one stocking ad and one stocking on,"

! ja} order to have a presentable foot ready for a surprise. On these occasions, meeting her sud­denly in the halls, I, dupe that I was, contented myself with a glance, little suspecting that the fact of her hopping, or bfeing perched upon one foot, meant any thiDg more than an every day antic.

Added to these eccentricities was an incon­venient habit, strangely out of keeping with her usual animation, of falling asleep any time and any where. Keyholes, cracks of doors, etc., were a certain conquering power with her.— Many a time we found the creature lying at full length upon the floor, her ear pressed to fjje carpet, and every nerve strained to catch the conversations going on in the room below ; and more, than once Theophilua, entering his libra­ry, found her curled up on the rug, match in hand, sound asleep before his unlit fire.

One of the most singular traits of the girl was her sudden fits of temporary docility. Often, at these times, I would apeak to her of her good Parent, and of that higher love which knows no difference of huo or tongue; she would listen attentively, and even kneel beside me, repeating word for word some simple prayer with true pathos in her tone, only to break away at last with a contemptuous "Pooh ! what stuff! Dis chile can't stan' sich truck, missy P' Or she would suddenly change to a sitting posture on tho floor, and with hands clasped about her kneet, rock backward and forward, wagging her head between each chuckle—-"Oh ! Lorry me, missy, you kill dis nig j you do. Yah! yah 1 it's wuss den wucken, he ! he 1"

But, as already stated, Aggy really did im­prove in many respects. She soon learned to scour the knives, build fires, and wash and Bcrub in a way that quite propitiated Ann and Nora, though Ellen, my fine "waitress," would not be appeased. "Nagera was what a dacent girl cuddent and wuddent putt up, wid, no­how." 8he left, and I conceived the rrild idea of trying Miss Aggy as her substitute.

A few days' indefatigable drilling did won­ders, and I am proud to say, produced a pro­found impression upon Theophilus. To be sure,in her hands wine-glasses generally became peculiarly symbolic of Jewish weddings, and tablecloths true to the inevitable angle of 46o.— Yet she was generally goodrtempered, and, when Theophilus was absent, very anxious to please. Why he should have had such an in­fluence upon her is incomprehensible,but there is no denying the fact that a word or a look from him always either frightened her immoderately, or possessed her with the spirit of a hundred imps. Now and then, especially when we had friends to dinner, mischief reigned supreme.— At such times interference or notice only made matters worse. The more important the guests or the greater the solicitude of poor Theophilus that no fata pas should occur, the more apt was her ladyship to wickedly fill the tumblers convexly, so that they could not be lifted with out accident; or to slyly take possession of the knife and fork of some embarrassed guest; or even to burst into a shout of laughter, or cut an unexpected "pigeon-wing" in the fullness of her mood. I shall never forget the day that the Rev. Dr. Barrilpreech dined with us. Just in the middle of his impressive grace Aggy burst into the room singing at the top of her voice,

'Tie boun' for do Ian' ob Canaan," and then apologized with :

"Gorry 1 missy, what yer habbin bressin' to­day fur? Missy Grimmons use ter hab 'em retflarr

After this Theophilus became unmanageable I was constrained to hire another waitress, re­serving Aggy for the "generally useful" depart­ment Here her principal labors resolved them­selves into eating, drinking, sleeping, and hiding every stray article in the house between her. mattresses. Old shoes, pieces of old Buspenders, empty-spools, bits of ribbon, tea-spoons, tooth­brushes, and^even Theophrsi«aU»ars,''Were all' stowed away with equal fcaj"e a,n^"CTinning.:—

-Hpwthey g o l ^ e r o i 4 g ^ n e Y p r c q n l d "tank" —'tons' hab but d e c a t er. Ehilly j " she .^didn't know nuffin at all about 'em." •

One day Theophiiua remarked rather pomp­ously to.a ifriend at dinner, that, of all the books in- his collection, he valued most a certain rare edition of Sir Thomas Browne. "You shall See-it to-day, Sir," he added, ''as t know you wilt enter into my, feelings on the subject, though,it is try no means a blue and gut affair.". After dinner my beloved bibliomania attempted to fulfil his promise. .The precious ryolimie was gone. Theophilua was in despair. He had been reading the book that -very morning.

Every thing worked charmingly. As I stood in a corner of the long rooms, engagrd as "cut­ter," I could bear Aggy's pleasant voice saying, • In the frnn' parlor, ladieB;'' and now and then a cherry "Yes, marm, I'se berry happy," in an­swer to some kind inquiry. She attended to her duties so promptly, too; the ladies had not time to ring the bell before they were admitted, and so noiselessly, by my h'ttle handmaiden.— I was quite elated, and could not forbear in­dulging in a few remarks to those near me con­cerning Aggy's improvement, and the immense pains 1 bad taken to render her a good servant.

"Yes-s ?" said Mrs. Winthrop, replying in a perfect scale of C; and I translated it—"You have indecded succeeded, my dear Mrs. Smith 1 How in the world did you acquire such wisdom and energy ?"

Our meeting over, tlie company departed al­most in a body. As soon as the last lady left the house, I called, in a cheeiful voice, from the parlor:

"Come hers, Aggy." Her sable face appeared at the door, grinning

with satisfaction. "You have-been a very good girl, Aggy, and

shall have sponge-cake for your supper." "Tonky, missy," was thelhonest response;

"but, bress yer 1 dis niggar didn' take no troubl'. I jess leff de door stan'in open, an' hitched up on de hall table, dis way."

She vanished. I knew she was suiting the action to the weird, and with a sinking heart, hurried into the hall.

My young lady was indeed upon the table, swinging her naked feet therefrom in great glee.

"Good gracious, child !" I cried, seizing her by the shoulder, "where are your shoes and stockings ?"

"Gorry P' ejaculated Aggy, drawing up the offendingjmembers in a twinkling, and blinking her great eyes at me with terror.

There lay the cakt-off articles, in full view, midway between the entrance and the parlor door. ,

"When did you take them off?" I gasped, ready to cry with mortification, as the memory of my rather boastful words surged within me.

"I tuck 'em off 'fore de ladies cum," whined the girl, "coz yer tole me ter be quiet; can't do nuffin in dem yar shoes."

"Aggy," I asked, in a tragic voice, "did you swing your feet in that outrageous manner while the ladies were in the hall T"

"Dunno, missy," sobbed Aggy, scratching her head ; "mose like I did, coz dey allers swings nattural when 1 sits on any thin' high."

Just then Theophilus came in, and, rather than put him in possession of the facts, I hastily gathered up the girl's impedimenta, and allowed her to depart for the kitchen without further comment. But it was trying, to say the least of it, to hear her singing, obliviously, as she bound­ed down the stairs :

"Oh, I'se foln' to be aa aagel— Pse goln' to be an angel. An' Ub In de big, blue sky."

In the evening Aggy's father came in. He was a noble looking negro, though evidently worn by toil and suffering. His "Well, gal !" and the twinkle in his bright eye, as Aggy en-tered^the room, told their ownstory of love and lorig forbearance. For his sake my resolve to return her to the 8oclety was abandoned at once. I shall never forget the glow of honest pride with which he forced upon me a small sum of money—his first savings as a free man— "to buy de chile some close."

"Ef it's de same to you, ma'am," was his dig­nified reply to my remonstrance, "Pd ruther de gal ud hab i t She hain't had no mudder since she woz a nussinv chile, au' ole Cudjoe's nebber had no chance to hev the 'sponsibility uv her afore. May de Lor* bress you, marm, an' de gen'man, too, fur shelterin' nv her an' larnm' her." He looked at Aggy a moment, and con­tinued : "An' oh 1 missus, ef yer could, ef yer only could, wid de Lord's help, make her a Christian, UAid—" He stopped short and burst into tears. j "We will try," 1 said, graspiug the old man's hand ; "and you, Aggy, I know, will endeavor

(in future to be a good girl for your father's sake."

"Can't missy," sobbed Aggy, with sudden ve­hemence, as she plunged her woolly head hi the old man's bosom, "tain't no use—rse 'fractory— sojers sed so—rse got de debbil in me !"

A t this point Theophilua walked into the room with the baby in his arms,. Aggy sprang; up in an instant

"Dar, missy, dat's i t She ain't a bit afeard uv niggers—she's liked -Aggy frumdefurst, 'pept Nora sed yer*d ealeaf hev a monkey han'le her es me. Ef! yer'd on'y let me hole an' ten' d e h a b y t ctid be a Chrisshen—I tink 1 cud— dat's f ac? .

>bjMrds pfrhja nurse, under, *• sejera, attack^of Psycbrophobis, the baby, held in Aggy's now careful arms, was gazing through the wind&w,( panes Suddenly, hka Jrbis«las, she Vs | seissd With an ardent desks to visit the outsr world,

and, of course, soon set up a vigorous "dey-dey ! dey-dey P' which, being interpreted, means—"I want somebody to put on my street fixings and take me out—qnick! quick!"

"Do lef me take her,- missy, jess in frun' ob de house i please do, missy," pleaded Aggy, press­ing the baby to her heart in eager anticipation. "I keep her wrap up Jees es warm es I kin, an' I prqmis," she continued, rolling her great eyes solemnly till they showed more white than black, "I promis I wunt go no furder dan de house."

"Very well," said I, 'Til trust yon, Aggy — Look up at the, window every few moments, and I'll wave my hand when I wish you to come in."

We wrapped the little darling up warmly, and I couldn't help congratulating myself on my recognition of Aggy's true sphere, when I saw how tenderly and cautiously she desended the stairs with her precious burden.

In a moment I raised the window and saw •Aggy walking demurely up and down in front of the house, her head • bobbing like a Manda­rin's in dutiful watchfulness of my signal. I could not resist the temptation to run down to the front parlor, where Theophilus sat reading the paper, to show him how gloriously my sys tern worked. He looked up as I entered.

"Theop, dear, do come and see how carefully Aggy carries the baby," said I, raising the Bash lightly.

•Aggy was singing in a subdued voice as she paced slowly up and down :

"Waits gone, missy too, Cry I niggers, cry I

Tink 111 see de bressed Norf •Fore the day I die,

Hi I hi I Yankee shot tm. Now I tink de debblTs got Hm."

All would have been well if Theophilus had only kept quiet, but the man was possessed. He dashed the blinds open with a bang, and called out, sternly :

"Be careful, girl 1 The sidewalks are slip­pery. Mind you don't go a single step past the house."

This was enough. Aggy raised her eyes to his face, and we saw in a moment that her imp­ish spirit was aroused. Off she started. The­ophilus, without taking time to get his hat, rush­ed to the door and reached the sidewalk just in time to see her dart around the corner. He hurried on, but only to catch the gleam of the baby's white cloak asiit disappeared at the next turn. Another, and yet another corner was gained with no better success. People stared to see a hatless man rushing along at such a rate. Crowds gathered, and every idler in the street joined in the chase, but to no avail. The girl had wings to her ifeet Theophilus shuddered lest in her excitement she should dash the baby to the ground ; but he dared not slacken his pace, because to lose sight of her, he felt, was to lose his child forever. Shouts filled the a i r -cries of "Stop thief!"—"Bun, sis !"—"Shake your pins nimbler, old fellow !"—"Hurrah for the gal f' resounded on every side. Meanwhile the rabble, Theophilus in their midst, pressed on faster and faster. More than once the fugi­tive ran almost under the heads of passing horses, causing them to leap and prance, but the girl never once faltered or staggered. On she ran, until turning her head she saw that her pursuers were gaining upon her. Halting an instant, she laid the'baby on a huge pile of mats in front of a grocery,'and flew around the cor­ner.

No.one followed, for all stopped to see wheth­er what she had cast away was a bundle or a living thing. Not a sound escaped it, and only when its panting father clasped it to his bosom did the poor frightened birdie utter a cry. The­ophilus told me afterwards that thai cry was the sweetest sound he had ever heard in his life— which struck me as rather a queer idea, though I said nothing.

Poor Theophilus 1 His position, considering his temperament, was certainly not an enviable one. Standing bareheaded with a screaming baby in his arms, nearly a mile from home, and in ajpart of the city Where not a hack, no> a hat store, was to be Been, surrounded by a [gap­ing crowd, who deluged him with questions and incensed him with their vulgar jokes, he was indeed to be pitied. Matters were not much ameliorated either by the appearance of a po­liceman, who, coming late to the rescue, as usu­al, insisted in stenatorian tones upon knowing "what all this meant f"

Humbled and grateful, I clasped my baby in my arms that svening, scarcely daring to look at Theopbilus.

We might never have heard of Aggy again had not our baby been carried to Madison Park, months after, by its new nurse.

When they returned I could hear baby chat­tering away in pure Choctaw all the way*up stairs. - J*. f 4t..'a • .

"Why, darling what is it ?" I asked, Meet­ing her at the door, and almost smothering the little' orator with kisses. "What did baby see in the Park?"

"Goo g6o, Ag, god goo, Ag, l ob whoo !" "Blessher heart, ma'am,"" cried the nurse, '1

] falling in love is an old fashion, and one that wi 1 yet endure, Cobbeft, a good sound Eng­lishman, twitted. Malthus, the anti-population wajiter, with the fact that, do all he could, and allithat government could—ay, all that twenty thousand governments could,—he could not prevent courting and falling in love.

'Between fifteen and twenty-two," said lie, "all people will fall in love."

$hakspeare pushes out this season to the ags of jforty-five. Old Burton, writing on love-mel-anCholy, gives us a still further extension of tha leake ; and certainly "there be old fools as well as jvouug fools." But no one is absolutely free from the universal passion. The Greek epigram onja statue of Cupid, which Voltaire, amongst a liundred-of others, has happily produced, is perfectly true :

"Whoe'er thou art, thy master see I Who, was, or is to bo."

Probably no one escapes from the passion.— We find in trials and in criminal history that the quaintest, quietest men, the most outwardly, saintly, cold, stone-like beings, have had their moments of intense love-madness. Luckily, lowe i s - a s lawful as eating, when properly in­dulged in.

Cobbett tells us how an English yeoman lov­ed and courted, and how be wasloved in return, and a prettier episode does not exist in the Eng­lish language. Talk of private memoirs of courts—the gossip of this cottage is worth them all. Cobbet, who was a sergeant-major in a regiment of foot, fell in love with: Ihe daughter of a sergeant of artillery, then in tlie same prov­ince of New Brun8Wic. He -Ifad. not;.passed more than an hour in her company, when, not­ing her modesty, her quietude, and'her sobriety, he said, "That is the girl for me." The next morning he was up early, and almost before it was light passed the sergeant's house. There she was on the snow, scrubbing out a washing tub. "That is the girl for me," again cried Cobbett, although she was not more than four . teen, and he was nearly twenty-one.

"From the day I first spokejto her," he writes, "I had no more though of her being the wife of any other man than I had the thought of her becoming a chest of drawers." He paid every attention to her, and young as she was, treated her with all confidence. He spoke to her as his friend, his second self. But in six months the artillery were ordered to England, and her fath­er with them. Here, indeed, was a blow. Cob­bett knew what Woolwich was, and what temp­tation a young and pretty girl would be sure to undergo.

He therefore took to her his whole fortune, one hundred and fifty guineas, the savings of his pay and overwork, and wrote to tel! her that if she did not find • her place comfortable, to take lodgings, and put herself to steh_oo],and, not to work too hard, for he would be home in two years. "But," as he says, "as the malignity of the devil woidd have it, we were kept abroad two years longer than our time, Mr. Pitt having knocked up a dust with Spain about Nootka Sound. O, how I cursed' Nootka Sound and poor, bawling Pitt!" But &% the end of four years, Cobbett got his dischage.

He found his little girl a servant of all work, at five pounds a year, in the house of Captain Brisac, and, without saying a word about the matter, she put into his hands, the whole of tha hundred and fifty guineas unbroken.. " What a pretty, tender picture is.that!—the

young sergeant, and the little girl, of eighteen, who had kept four years the- treasure untouched, waiting with patience her lover's return.

Why can they not give lis a scene of true Eng­lish courtship like that ?
