Crime.
In our day when a man commits a
arimo for which tho law has provided pun.
Ishnient, and isdetqclud, the papors aro
filled with accounts concerning it. livery
man who Is UQilhor.a fool, nor np giupru.
mus talks about it; and ,he unfortuualo
nifin.feela tliat.ljq is pstriicisqd, front socio
ty for all time to comp; which is often
the case.
Docs the position of the man make tho
crime any ihe less? If so, then it is no
wonder that men commit small ciitnes in
order to raise theinsclvih t.o a position in
which they may com mil greater ones. Why
should other but less popular men bo in
enrcoroted in the penitentiaries through,
out iho various states for tho same crime
charged against this noted divine, while
?te is allowed to roam at large and float on
the top wave of society? Before we
boast more of the justice of American
institutions let us bring all on nu equality

to be recognized than these same autumn
leaves, that were once so Hwli and verdant.
U's, all is changed; somethings that
looked dark nnd uncertain are now mado
plain; others, in which we were certain of
success, tiro laid low in the dust. Truly
there is somothtng sad in the minium time,
not only for tho chiingingleavesiind phiiS)
which the early frost louches and blights
so quickly, but there are lniiny loved and

place is strewed with those brighl-hued re

yomh nnd health, which sooner or ln.er be

when 1113 Uioughts wero nll joyous, when
my present was my all, no turning back to
the past, no looking forward to the ftiluro,

day, when I used to rustle ihe brown nu
tumn leaves, nnd gather them in huge piles,
searching for nuts for the fnsi approaching
winler, and never a sd thought for the do
cay of the year, or of changes that always
come with it; but 1 oho remember other
autumns, wlion, although I onjoved their
hazy beauty, yet there was ever a nameless
longing for something, a sad regret for
those beautiful days that no often, huwov
or beautimi they might be, could ever wills.
