AUTHOR WANTED.
(To TEE Enrron or THE " SPEMATOR."]
Sra,—My letter asking if any of your readers could give me the first verse of Captain Morris's drinking-song was eo successful that I venture to inquire if any of them can say who the author was of an Autumn Song I knew in my boyhood,
the first verse of which was as follows "Far, far o'er hill and dale Green woods are changing, Autumn her many hues Slowly arranging.
And o'er the smiling land God pours with open hand Earth's fruits at our command With love unchanging."
All I know about it is that it was sung by the pupils of Hullah's Singing Classes, which were held some time in the " fifties," and it was sung to an air called " Spain " or " Spanish Chant." I enclose the whole of the song, but of course it is much too
long for you to print.—I am, Sir, &c., E. SmUT.
