Not in a moment drops the rose That in a summer garden grows; A twilight song of ecstasy, And the red, red leaves at its lragant heart, Trembling so in delicious pain, Fall to the ground with a sudden start, And the glass is gav with a criruson strain And a honey-be* ut of ,he ol cloVer Heavily flying: ttx^gar■, over > Brushes the stem !>y, And others fall when.* tM*hes4-le.lVeS lie; The air and dew, ere the nrght is'^one. Have stolen the petals, every oho. The maple do.s not shed its leaves In one tempestuous scarlet ram. But softly, when the South wind grieves. Slow wandering over wood and plain, One by one they wander through The Indian Summer's hazy blue, And drop at last on the forest mould, Coral and ruby aud burning gold. And sunset's gleam of gorgeous dyes Ne'er with one shadow fades away, slowly radiant skies Tttede evening cold an. i gray, The amber amttiokt linger still lVhen stars" are over the eastern hill. Our death it gat'i&al, like to these; We die With tvery waning day; There is no waft of sorrow's breeze But tears some h art leal away Up and on to the vast To Be, Our life is going eternally '■ Loss of earth than we bad last year Throbs in your veins and throbs in mine, But the way to heaven is growing clear, While the gates of the city shine, And the day that our latest treasures flee, Wide they w ill open for you and me. UE THiT OYKRCOMETiI. EY T. S. AIITHTJR. 'You will be at the meeting to-night,' said a clergyman to an influential member of Lis : society, speaking in an affirmative voice. 'No,' was the decisive answer; '1 shall re main at borne. 1 'Why so, Mr. Percival V asked the eiergy- I man, manifesting surprise. 'lt is better sor tue to stay away.' '1 don't understand you.' *i aui too excitable. The way in wbich | some of our members speak and act in these j church meetings chafes and annoys me to such j degree that i lose temper, and say things that \ do barui rather than good , o I have concluded :to stay at home, aud 'let matters take their I course.' 'ls that light, brother Percival ?' The min ister looked at Lis parishioner with a sober countenance. •It is best,' was answered. ' Best for what ?' •Best for my peace of mind, at least.' 'Even though uisotucrly measures are car ried in your abseuce, and the church sustains 1 an injury in consequence 1' '1 am not so sure that such wiii be the case,' Mr. l'ercivai answered. •There is tc iuir-ortaut measure to be sus tained or abandoued this eveniug.' 'I kDOW.* 'You ate the affirmative V 'I arm' 'Aud you consider this measure uf vital im- j portaoce to the church V 'I do.' 'And yet deliberately propose an abandon- ■ merit of your post of duty V .'1 am uot tit to take the post of duty. My temper is too excitable.' The master gazed for some moments ioto the fce of Mr. Percival, and then said— 'l was reading to-day in the book of Reve lations, and noted a certain passage as invol ving a most iuroortant doitrine. It was this:; 'To him that overcometfi will 1 give to eat of the tree of life.' 1 read on, an isoou the same duotriue was repeated, but with a new assurance —'He that overcomdh shall not he hurt of the second death.' btiil I read, and again the doctriue was announced, in the words, 'He that overcometfi, the same shall be clothed in rhite raimeut; aud 1 wiii uot blot out his name out of the t>ouk of life.' Now, what i ; it that we arc to overcome iu order that we (■ay 'eat of the tree of lite,' aud 'not be hurt iof the second deaih.' Ttiiuk, my dear brother, j aud answer this question ia yout own heart.' 'We must overcome evil,' replied Mr. Per | cival, after a pause. Hio voice was rather sober. ♦This impulsive temper of which you com plain/ said the uiiuistcr, 'is certainly an evil, if it hiuders your usefulness to sueh a degree as to keep you away from duty.' Mr. Percivul hen* his head, while a shade of concern passed over his features.* 'is not tue way plain before yea, toy brother l ' The premise of life eternal is to huutbat ovtr comtth.

FRIDAY AUGUST 5. 1859. 'Will that be a cooqnest of evil? The cowardly soldier might oifsc the same renAon for not venturing into battle, lest himself, and injure his country, by funning away. No, no ; this will not do. You must conquer the foes of heaven upoQ the battlefield of your own heart. You must overcome. Mr. Percival bent his head again, and diu not answer. 1 'Go to this meeting to-night,' said the clergy . man, after a brief silence. 'Go to do your duty; and in the diviue strength, that wil. surely be gives to you, if you strive for victory \ over your easily-besetting sin, will you conquer j and stand op a own. Go. A good cause uas i need of your efforts.' . | '1 thank you for this wise counsel, r-.-pi*eu .Mr. Percival. 'I see that you ap<2 •£ ; I must not let this sio, that doth so easily beset ( ' rue, bold me back, a coward, from iuy place, ! when God calls me to stand up for the right. 1 must overcome, and, God helping uie, I will. 'Now you are iu the right spirit,' said the minister encouragingly. "Hold fast to this good purpose, and go in this state of heavenly j | trust. You will return from '.be meeting to- j iiiwa stronger and a happier man.' j ' TTaOtt pLr 4 - view of the case, Mr. Percival j could not absent himself from the church meet- j ing. Hut he went will' a guard act over bit j I feelings, and a it: idle on i>M tongue, was one member who a?lwaj*ed f n opposition, ; no matter what the subject*..sudor considera! ( It was ouly ueceseary to make a move towards j ■ doing something, to insure objection ; and a ! ue was a cool talker, and had a great deal of self-possession, he generally managed to carry j a party with Liui. Towards this individual, j whose name Learned, Mr. Peißtv* 1 did cot j ecteitaiu very kind feelings ; and whenever he j opposed him, it wis with excitement of man-i| uer, a Lid, too orCV, and then with a species ot fascination, as > oHied the poor creatures, now without ; the means o defence. Ia other parts of the | field they lay do?n upon the ground, exhausted | with fatigue, recovering their strength. The Firs! meeting of and Gar ibaldi. Every one has observed ai d pondered upou coincidences. Kossuth and Garibaldi, now so unexpectedly brought into co-operation upon tue.battle-fields of Europe by the strange nct woi 't of circumstances, mat for the first time at the international dinner given by Geo. N. San ders in Loudon, ia 1854, to Mr. Buchanan and the European Republican leader. How far from seeming possibility then was tbeir present conjunction iu the fierce earthquake which is again rocking Europe, and in which Napoleon 111 is so mysteriously an a fc .ut! The career of those great men then sce&jjd buried; now, it' is alive again. The meGiorable past links it self to the preseut, and draws on a ln ln the tangling complications of the lmur, who shall prophecy its character! Iu the course of the spieudid conversation which flashed between the great spirits gathered together on that uni que occasicu, Kossuth's eloquence became the theme of eulogy. Rising with modest grace, i Kossuth rtplied, ever elegaut and appropriate iu the eoeial hour as he L grand and pursuasive on public occasions. At the close of his re- , spouse he exclaimed, with electric earnestness, "Gentlemen, would you know what I think the most eloquent speech of modem times?' He repeated iu impressive tones the words—'Sold iers! for the love you bear your country 1 offer you war, hunger, thirst, cold, and death. \\ bo accepts the terms let biui follow me! There :s ! the orator!" he said, waving his hand towards 1 him, whose intrepid impetuosity now agaiu rings through the world. Garioaldi, taken by sur- I prise, was for a few instants quite overcome ; with emotion, but he mastered himself, and made a beautiful and soldierly reply. : Roused by this touching incident, the devo i ted Orsioi toilowed in a speech of obaracteris ! tic passion aud depth. More resembling the ; ancient Atheui&u than bin Roman ancestors, ! his emphatic but chaste uelivory recalled the I great principle of lAimosthenie oratory—ac r.on. A model ot youthful manhood, with a ! brilliant dark eye, aud a fascinating smile, Or j sini, although he had already s jffcred in loath some dungeons, showed no trace of it in iaco or person. Ho was a Romeo, to captivate more fastidious Juliets tnau &hukopearc s hs- roioe. Two days after he left England—again to dare Austria, agaia to be imprisoned, again to escape —aud that for the last time. Io his dat ing and so nearly successful attempt, a year ago, upon Louis Napoleou's life, is greatly due the present imperial movement ia Italy. It was theD that tne Emperor understood that the betrayed Carbonari held against him a power that might, at any time, evade all his police and defy his 6oldiery. RECEIPT roa MAKING TATTLEKS.— Take a handful of the viuc called Runabout, the same quantity of the root called Nimble lougue, a sprig of the herb called Backbite, at either before or alter the dog days, a tabic spoonful of Don't-you-tell-it, six drachms of Malice, a few drops of Envy—which can be purcha.u-d in any quautity at the shop of Miss lubnha Teatobie aud Miss Fanny Nightwaiker. bttr I them well together and simmer them for batf an hour over the fire of Discontent, kindled with a little Jealousy ; then strain it through the rag of Misconstruction, haug it upon a skein of Strcetyaro, shake it occasionally for a lew days, and it is fit for use. Let a few drops be takcu just before walking out, aud the subject will be enabled to speak all niunner of evil, and that continually.— .Macon .Mes. As INITIATION IN THE SONS OF MALTA, j r This mysterious order is spreading rapidly throughout the country, and every day receiv ing fresh accessions to its ranks. The meet ings of the order in the provincial towns are the subject of as maoy curious speculations as j their processions are everywhere. Ia cities, the lodge rootus are retired, and their eercmn j nies are conducted in secret, without startling anybody; but in rural districts, where myste ry is not so attainable, the people are cou | sfantiy wonder-worked, and the ladies espe cially are provoked almost beyond human en* durTnce, because their inquijitiveDess, exces- J sivcly exasperated L? mysterious sounds, is never gratified by satisfactory developments.— It is i elated by many who have experienced this sort of aggravation, that upon lodge meet j trig nights tbc most hideous souuus escSpe from ; the- lodge rooms. . Sometimes demoniac JfUs and hysterical sounds of heavy blows like a floor beaten with a maul, varied with an inter lude of goug, tin horns and cow bells, with i now and then a rumbling like that cf a huge • log rolled upon the floor, or barrels filled with • fra; ;:ents rolled forcibly from one end of the hall, all mingled io horrid concord, creating a medley of fearful noises which seem appropri i ate to paudemonium. Women bear it. and are startled terrified from their slumbers, children scream with affright; men shudder with alarm; and the poor colored folks, prone to supersti tion, tremble with irrepressible terror. Crowds gather in the streois, and listen with painful emotions, uuttl familiarity displaces fear, and i curiosity less agonizing, usurps all other de -1 sires,— Pitts. Chronicle. AGE. An infirmity tfUjcb nobody knows. Nothing can exceed our early impatience to escape from youth to manhood, and appear older than we are, except our subsequent anxiety to obtain the reputatioo of being younger than we are. The first longing is natural, for Hope is before us, and it seems possible to anticipate that which we must soon reach; but the kecoud is a weak ness, not less strange tLau general, for we can not expect to recover that from which wo are perpetual flying, or avoid that which we are in cessantly approaching. If by -putting back our own date we could arrest the groat clock of ; time, there would be an intelligible motive for our coiiuttcl. Alas! the timepiece of old Chro nos never stops. Women, who imagine their influence to depend upon tnsir personal attrac tions, naturally wish to preserve their youth.— ft is in their power so to do; for she who cap tivates the heart and the understanding, never grows eld; aud as meD are generally estimated by their moral and intellectual, rather t'uaa their baptismal recommendations —as a philosopher of fifty is preferred, by all those whose prefer ence is worth having, to a foei cf twenty — there is something very contemptible iu a male hotror of senility. So prevalent, however, is the feeling, that, with the exception of one in dividual, who has obtained an euviable immor tality as middle age Hallaoi,' we have uo chro nology for man aod women at, or bey ond the meridian of life. HOW TO PROSPER IS BUSINESS. In the first place make up your mind to ac complish whatever you undertake; decide up on some particnlar employment, and persevere in it. All difficulties are overcome by dili gence aud assiduity. Be not afraid to work with your own hands, and diligently, too. "A cat in gloves catches no mice." Attend to your business, and never trust to another. "A pot that belongs to many is ill stirred aud worse boiled." Be frugal. "That which will net make a pot, will make a pot lid."' Be abstemious. "Who dainties love will beggars prove." / Treat every one with respect s and civility.— Everytbiug is gained, and nothing lost, by courtesy. Good manners insure success." Never anticipate wealft from any other source than labor: especially never place any dependence upon becoming the possessor of an inheritance. Above ail thiugs Dover despair. "God is where ue was." Heaven helps those who help themselves. Follow implicitly these precepts, and nothing I can hinder you from prospering. GOOD SOCIETY. —It should be the aim of young men to go into good society. V\ edo not mean the rich, the proud, the ia;-bioaabie, 1 but the society of the wise, the intelligent and the good. Where you find men that know more thau you do, and from whose conversation one can gaiu information, it ia always sale to be found. Many a man has been broken down bv associating with the low aDd vulgar—where the ribald song was inculcated, and the inde cent story to excita laughter and the bad pas sions. Lord Clarendon has attributed his suc cess and happiness iu life to associating wuh persons more learned and virtuous than him self. If you wish to be respected, if yon de sire happine-s and not misery, wt advise you to associate with the intelligent aud good. Strive for mental excellence and strict integrity, and you never will bo found in thesiuksot pol i lution, and on the beaches of retailers and iiaiiiblers. Once habituate yourself to a vir ' tuous course —once secure a love of good aocie ( -Y —and DO punishment would be greater than | bv aceideut to be obliged for a half day to as sociate with the low and vulgar. ; A thiaiblefui of t-owior will split a roc£ four feet sqv-arf.

BfgeßeralioH of Seed. It his often been stated, that seed will de generate iu a few years, if its product be sown continuously in the same locality, and that it i 9 necessary for the maintenance of good crops to frequently prOWb seed from a distance.— The experience of many persons seenrs to con firm this opinion. A correspondent of the Ag riculturist, N. N. Hartzell, Hancock Co., 111., in a letter received a short time since says, that having sewed the yellow-bearded wheat tbreo years in succession, the seed each year being part of the crop raised the season preceding, the third crop was not worth harvesting. Up -1 on procuring a new supply of seed from a dis tance a good yield was again obtained. This we believe agrees with tLegec-'ral opinion upon the subject. Why this is so i* an interesting inquiry. Is the opinion correct? or is it a mere notion founded upon occasional coincidences, which.has passed into an established belief with out Laving been properly examined, and which is believed because "they say" it is so? In the ease of imperfect plants, that is those not furnished with all the necessary fertilizing organs, it is quite easy to understand that they may uegeuerate. If iu the plants produced any year there should bo a disproportionate number of ttaminate or pistillate varieties, the following crops might rapidly deteriorate from this cause. But uiost plants grown for susten ance are perfect in this respect, each being in dependent of the oiler, Hew then can we ac count for deterioration? Perhaps, somewhat as follows: Our cereals and esculents generally, are not now in their original natural stale.— Their desirable qualities bave been greatly im proved by cultivation, that if, by placing them in circumstances the best adapted to bring ouj their good poiuts. In locations and under treat ment that would supply all the necessary era** ditions, we can scarcely doubt they would con tinue to retain their excellence, through gene ration after generation, for like causes must pro duce similar effects; but where any of these con ditions are wanting, there will be year after year a proportionate loss of excellence, a relapsing into the orignial state. Now there are proba* bly few places where plants enjoy all the cod- * | ditions necessary to sustain their improved coo [ dition. Separate localities, however, differ as :to the condition which is left unsupplied, and a seed partially lacking in one pailicular, if in ' troduce i in a district which CHU supply its want, j would yjfld an improved product, an
