HisftHtnimiß, The Autumnal Season. Nature, as has been well said, is an eloquent teacher. The man whose eye has never opened upon her noiseless operations, or has unheeded her marvellous developments —who has never fell the charms of her spring-time thrilling to his inmost soul, or heaved a sigh while viewing the autumnal haf in its silent decay, has lelt unlearned one of her most sublime lessons ul his own immortality. At this season. « hen *' the melancholy days have come’*—while surrounded with memen'oes of decay and desolation—with emblems of shat tered hopes and blasted expectations—the lesson of our own frailty comes homo to onr hearts with Irrcsistablu power. To the contemplative and reflecting mind there is a sadness not unimxed with pleasure, in wit nessing the perishing leaves ann flowers. It may occasion us a momentary gloom to sec the dead leaves strewing our daily walks, but who would stop the seasons in their perpetual course —who would check the rolling year, even if he couM dwell forever amidst the beauties of an. 'Unchanged spring ? tl is well that the llowcr Is ordained to fall and give place to the ripened fruit. An eternal soring would hardly be a blessing. Fadeless flowers would soon lire the eye. perpetual odors would sicken fo the smell, and wc would grow weary with the unvarying sameness. Better ns it is—let us not murmur tliit the sutAmer glories depart like the fond hopes of our youth, but let us rather rejoice in the golden fruits which autumn brings. The glad voice of the reaper has merrily chaunt cd iho song of the harvest homo-' The fruits of Labor’s foils are gathered in. The fields have yielded their abundance, and should not our hearts acknowledge the benevolence of the Giver of all good. Never has the earth produced more plcnlcoufily—never have we. as a people, had deeper cause of thankfulness than at the present moment. The seasons of the year have not Inaptly been considered as strikingly emblematical of the different periods of human life. Spring with its beauty, Us melody. Its joy. has been thought a proper representation of the sunny period of youth. Summer with Us maturing influences, autumn with its precious fruits, arc emblems of manhood : and winter with Its frosts and chil ling blasts, is an emblem of old ago and the tomb. Much has been Raid and sung upon this Ihcmo. but it has lost none of its interest. Tho seasons roll their annual round, ns beautiful or as sad. an harmonious in their unbroken order and reg ularity, as they have ever done since tho birth of the creation. They still loach their lesson— they still furnish their’ taoral —they arc still perpetual teachers of primeval truth. How beautiful even in decay Is the’ fycning twilight of iho fading year ! How rich the golden sunset in the midst of its departing glo ries. Nature, says some one, lias begun to lay aside her beautiful mantle of life nnd verdure: her gay chanlct of flowers is already withered : tho leaves which but a day or two ago were so rich in their emerald loveliness, now nut on their variegated hues, tho pencilling of death. The lovely blossom that chances to Hails shrinking head in some sheltered nook, awakes emotions of pity rnlhcr.than gladness. Tho almost mi raculous change which has passed over tho face of nature within a few short days, is known only to our own country. Italy can boast of her sunny skies amUnarkling fountains; Eng land of her fertile values nnd the almost perpet ual greenness of tier fields and meadows: but it is for America alono that autumn exhibits her surpassing beauty,'clothing our forests with the rainbow’s covering and with butterfly*a wings. The venerable trees still retain a portion of their drapery of sumptuous dyes, and like somo pale monarch, seem gathering their robes around BY JOHN B. BRATTON, VOL, 44. them to die in slate. Here a leaf more deli cately tinted ihan an Indian shell, there brighter and deeper in its crimson hue than a Circassian lip—here a vine of deeper dye, perishing with the benuiiful things whose summerit had shared, outshining them in decline. The forests seem as if the sunset of a whole summer had been concentrated in the great alembic of the West, and poured back in a new deluge pf beauty up on the groves. They appear as if every leaf had been newly painted to outvie the tulip and the rose which died long ago—or as if bj* some electric miracle the dews of the earth,s heart had struck upward, and all her hidden glories of crystals and gems, her rubies and sapphires, bad sent up their imprisonedtcolors through ihe roots of the forest trees, to re animate their perishing foliage, or clodic them with their own unapproachable magnificence. All is noi dark, or even sombre, amidst the desolation of the season. The sun looks down in glad cheerfulness and glory into many a hith erto secluded alcove, where his summer rays could never penetrate. Tho spirit of life mill animates the most distant recesses of nature's vast dominions, proclaiming that no spot blest with the light of day. can be altogether lonely and desolate. The evergreens proclaim that there are objicts over which even the frosts of autumn have no power. These unbending sto ics of the wood, speak of an unfading inheritance beyond nature’s hushed and dying hmlhonies— on immortal spring time in the paradise of the blest. The feelirig that Autumn brings may be seri ous. but at the same I ime subdued and holy• We think of decay, it is true, but we think also of a reluming spring-time. The melancholy, if tt be experienced, is salutary to our spirits— it comes like tho calm light winch breaks over the departure of the good, ns the herald, amidst present pain, of life and joy. Stripped ns is the earth of its rich garniture of loveliness, its laic robes of beauty and fragrance, it lias, even now. commenced to labor for us anew, in pre paring amidst all the approaching barrenness and desolation of winter, to produce new har vests of plenty, new supplies for our wants. Let us at this season send out our thoughts after the better portion winch is permanent ond durable—elevate our hopes from ihe fading glories of earth tb (he incorruptible inheritance above. —Philadelphia Aigus. ■ WALRUSES ASD GLACIERS, At Chorio Island the walruses wore found very numerous. Ol (he habits and character of' the wall us, Lieut. Beeclicy gives, after frequent intercourse with them a very Interesting ac count. Tin ir atfreiion for their young, and their unflinching courage in defending them, are icnmik-ible ; not more so their compassion- 1 a»e corn]net toward a wounded companion, whom they will never leave till carried utf to a place 1 of safety; Jjnl even the \onnp ones on sech oc casions wiufturn fiercely against the boats ol the pursuers. ff A single instance will sutlice to show theisure and affection bestowed on their young. / “Wo were greatly amused by tho singular and niTuctlotiate conduct of a walrus towards its young. In the vast sheet of jtjo cd tho ships thereover bVcchslomilly and, when the weather was-oleurand warm, ani mals ol various kinds would frequently rise and spoif about in them, or crawl from (hence upon the Ice to bask in tho warmth of tho sun. A walrus roso in ono of these pools close to (lie ahlp, and. finding everything quiet, dived down and brought up its young. Which it held by Its breast by pressing it with its flipper. In this manner ft moved about the pool, keeping in an erect posture, and always directing the faco of the young toward the vessel. On Ihe slightest j movement on boaid. tho mother released her j flipper and pushed the young one under walir ; [ but when everything was again quiet, brought it up ns before, and lor a length ol lime contin ued to play about in Ihe pool, to the great amusement of the seamen, who gave her credit lor abilities in ’uition which, though possessed of considerable sagacity, she hardly method.” On one occasion, some of the crew of the Trent, having wounded a walrus, look to their boat, when they were assailed hy « large num ber of walruses. These animals rose, Shotting with rage, and rushed at Iho hunt ; and it was with the utmost dillicully they were prevented from upsetting or slaving it. They would place their tusks on the gunwale, or rush at it with their heads. The held was so numerous, ami (heir attacks so incessant, (hat (here was no time to loud a musket. The purser fortunately had fils gun loaded, and the men now being nearly exhausted with chopping and sticking at (heir assailants, he snatched it up. and, thrusting the muzzle down (lie throat of a large and formid able walrus, who seemed to he the leader of the herd, fired into his bowels. The wound proved mortal, and the animal fell hack among his Companions, w ho immediately desisted from (ho attack, assembled round him, ami in a moment quilted the boat, swimming away as hard ns (hey could with their loader, whom they actually boro up with their tusks, and assiduously pre served Iroiii sinking. Many similar acts of compassion, on the part of these animals towards their wounded com panions, were observed. On one occasion, when several walruses wore attacked upon a bench, near Magdalena Bay, the first discharge of mus kets drove all those who could crawl into (ho seai but, immediately upon their panic subsid ing, they returned to the shore and dragged their wounded companions into the water, eith er hy main force, or hy rolling them over with their tusks. On tile UBlh of May, (lie weather being foggy and severe, with heavy falls of snow, the ships separated, and (ho Trent stood to the northward toward Magdalena Hay, the place of rendezvous, along the edge of (he main body of ice; they met hero, anti, seeing it impossible to penetrate the marginal line of the ice. and Iho season be ing very early, the commander determined on passing a few days in that bay. In which they anchored on (ho 8d of June. The Ice was in the cove and upper part of the harbor, but was n a rapidly decaying slate, nnd on revisiting tin . nC Jl° r . ftffo .l ,cro ,n 1,10 beginning of August, It had entirely disappeared. b D Jl y " romlor °d conspicuous by four glaciers, the smallest two hundred foot above the sea, on (ho slope of a mountain. It Is called the Hanging Iceberg, nnd seems, bo Roochoy says, ns If n very slight matter would detach It from the mountain, and precipitate it Into the sea. Thq largest ot the four extends two or three miles Inland t owing (o the groat rents in the surface, it lias been named the Wn. gon-wny, from the-resemblance of the fissures to ruts made hy wheels. Several glaciers simi lar to those were observed near Dane’s Gut, (ho largest about ten thousand feet irt length by two or three hundred foot in perpendicular helvht. In the vicinity of these icebergs a strict ohsorv, anco nf silence is necessary; the explosion of a gun scarcely ever fulls to bring down one of those masses. Mr. Beechy says that on two oc casions they witnessed avalanches on the most ; 1 magnificent scale. I “The first was occasioned by (ho discharge' of a musket at about Imlf a mile’s distance from i the glacier. Immediately after Iho report of I the gun. a noise resembling thunder was heard 1 In.the direction of the iceberg, (glacier) nnd in a few second? more an Immense piece broke away nnd fell headlong Into the son. The crow of tho launch,snppnslngthomselves beyond the reach of its Influence, quietly looked upon (lie scene, when presently a sea arose anil rolled to wards the shore with such rapidity that the crew had not tlmo to take any precautions, nnd tho bout was in consequence washed upon (ho beach “OUR COUNTRY —MAT IT ALWAYS BD RIGHT —BUT RIGHT OR WRONG, .OUR COUNTRY.” and completely filled by the succeeding wove. AS soon as their astonishment had subsided, they examined the boat and found her ?o badly stove that it became necessary to repair her in order to return to the ship. They hud also the > curiosity to measure the distance the boat hud been carried by the wave, and found it to bo ninety-six foot.” In viewing the same glacier from a boat at a distance, a second avalanche took place, nhich afforded them the gratification of witnessing the creation, as It were, of a sea iceberg, an oppor tunity which has occurred to few, ihongh it is generally understood that such monsters can only be generated on shore. Tlris occurred on a remarkably fine day, when the quietness of the bay mis interrupted by the noise of the fulling body Lieutenant Franklin •and the writer of this narrative had approached one of these stupendous walls (it ice, and were - endeavoring hi search into the innermost recess' j of a deep cavern that was near the foot of the I glacier, when wo heard u report as if of a con- I non, and, turning to the quarter whence it pro-! ceeded, we perceived an Immense piece of the berg sliding down from the helghth of two him- 1 dred foot at least into tlio sen, and dispersing I the water in every dii cllon, accompanied by n loud, grinding notse, and followed hv a qnanti | ty of wafer, which, being previously lodged in ' the fissures, now made Its escape In numberless small cataracts over tlio front of the* glacier.” 1 After describing the disturbance occasioned by the plunge of this enormous fragment, and the rollers which over tlio surface of fhe bay, and obliged the Dorothea, then careening at tlio distance of four miles, to aright, by re leasing tlio tackles, he then proceeds : “The piece that had been disengaged at first wholly disappeared under nntgr, and nothing was seen but a violent boiling of (he sea, and a i shooting up of clouds of spray, like that which occurs at the foot ol a great cataract. After a short time it reappeared, raising its head full a hundred feet above Ihe surface, with wafer pour ing down from all parts of it; and then, labor, ing as If doubtful which way tt should fall. It rolled over. and. after rocking about some min utes. at length became settled. Wo now np - pronched if, ami found if nearly a quarter of a mile In circumference, ami sixty feet but of the water.

There she sleeps,and we love the very earth for hvrsake. With sentiments like these I turned aside from the gaitios of life to the narrow habitation of the dead.

The superfluity in length and circumference of dresses, so much complained of, is good for trade : and against excess m the milliner’s hill a set of!* is aflorded by dumniftion hwhat of the laundress. Stockings may now be worn fornny length of lime. Mnremer. they may be made of the very cheapest and coarsest material ; there being, as ./nr ns they arc conccrned.no longer any necessity for even so much ns com mon neatness. It is very true hat the length and expansion of the fashionable dress gives its wearer the I form of a bell-moutlud tumbler with a s em to | it. turned upside down. No doubt, n Indy [ might be a fish from the waist downward, and stand upon a caudal flu in that dress, without 1 looking at all the worse than she looks in it now, ; Bui this is precisely its recommendation ; that | of sen mg to conceal those perfections of form, j which, when I hey aie allowed to bo perceptible, ; attract an amount of observation which must be | unpleasant to the object of it. and vrhjch can do the observer no good Many men, now living are old enough to remember the lime when the style of dress in consequence ol being calcula Usl to exhibit, nod not to hide, personal ad vantages, affected young men with very frivo lous and vain impressions. Dresses then worn so short as not'quitc to sweep the street, and wherever you went, if there were well dres sed girls there, you were continually-catching a glimpse of n much too dainty foot and ankle', twinkling with a far too elegant little sandal. This trivial object continually attracted the at tention of young men, who ought $o have liccn thinking of other things. Now you ’never see anything of the sort, and at the samd time a Indy can hold her clothes at any elevation she likes, when she simply shows n passing swell how to step out like & man. in hoots the same as Ins own— except that they are not so inter esting to him. Every husband father ohght toanprovo of the fashionable dresses, for they preclude his wife from attracting unnecessary attention, and if they tend slightly to hinder hint from getting his daughters oil Ins hands, they have an ex actly equal tendency to prevent his sons from’ marrying fur mere beauty, so that if they marry at nil. they marry prudently, looking to the fi nancial mid not to the bodily figure* and thus become comforts instead of burdens' to their parents ami friends. And sons who.piarry im prudently nrc infinitely more expensive limn unmarried daughters. Lastly, these dresses arc considered very pnlty bv the great majority of the wearers, who think about dress ns they do about every, thing else, gregariously, and have no other idea of what is pretty than what is fashionable.— Shrouding (heir charms in excess of muslin, (hey indulge in a harmless vanity, and Haller themselves I at they are creating a great sensa tion. whereas they create none but what is ex cited in the masculine mind by a bundle of clothes.

Never marry a fop. or one who struts about dandy like, in his silk gloves and ruffles, with silver cane, and rings on his lingers, who loafs about and is never working. Beware! — there is a trap. 3. Never marry a niggered. close-fisted, mean, sordid wretch, who saves every penny, or spends it grudgingly. Take care lest he stints you to death ■l. Never marry a stranger, or one whose character is not known or tested. Sonic fe males jump right into the fire with their eyes wide open. 5. Never marry a mope or drone, one who drawls and draggles through life, one fool after another, and lets things take their own course. G. Never marry n man who treats a mother or stater unkindly or indifferently. Such treat ment is a sure indication of a little mean man. 7. Never on any account marry a gambler, a profane person, or one who in the least speaks lightly of (Jod. Such a man can never make a good husband. 8. Nevcr«iarry a sloven, a man who is neg ligent ofhisdre.ss, and is filthy m his habits The external appearance is an index of the heart. 9. Shun the rake as a snake, a viper, a very demon. 10.
