EEO CLEM The Autumn—how it cartius us haci; to the ripened corri-••-the Auldile.e9v eredfields, and the meadows with beau ty faded It vi ill indeed be along time before we shall forget them. And long shall we remember the plensultos ul hose times—the parties, the apple-bees and the Ink -kings, • We will relate a.) incident of a long ago Autumn. It shall have a eatastro. ,phe not uncommon to stories; and by nu Means u4known ,to the drama. We remember 'old Deacon Smith, and we wish all could have so peasant, a memory; H e liv e d on the hill near oni early hom e , i n a f .-t a iply stone hous:e, well befittiwz hig s,did character. Tile deacon would not have been at horrie iu atvotideri 411v:211i:1g—a structure Su Frail r..uld iipt have expressed thesub- stantial manner in which he did every thing—for a piece of 'unfinished Liusi ness never came from his hands—it was well done and would lest. A stern countenance had Deacon Smith ; and yet there was a world of ge•serous and manly feeling and Chi istian charity in his honest heart. The poor could tes tify of his beneficence; and you must go many a mile from Woodside to find the man that would speak against him. Woodside was-comparatively a new settlement then—the iron horse had not found his track tin ()ugh' the valley. Deep woodi were seen on t very side, aid the people had to go many miles to market. There was a little village which could be reached at a great sav ing of iliAance by going through the ivoods ; and it was no uncommon thing f.r the little folks to be sent these on et l audc tostlie Awe ur nost:i.flice, giver the ell-beaten track thioligh the fur:. Drawn Smith was find of young people, and we 4 11.1 , ,,ked !iron him wan the greateNt respect and vtMera tion, TheAntumil never passed with-- uut a number of invitations to all of Us in the vieit.ity, to meet at his stately habitati.m. Glad'y did we answer hiS vummons ; and these occasions Were Hiked upon as the climax of our piens act hopes, Sometimes the ( cca:lon was a patty, sometimes en apple-bee, and sonietimes 'a: husking. At these tatter the young men were expected husk corn an hour or more in the barn, and then adjourn to the house, where blight eyes and well-served tables awated them, arid generally (you must eicuse the pious Deacon's ap. parent inconsistency, for it-caused him a world of trouble with his pastor) the old fiddler of Woodside was in wren• dance, with his rosined byte and dry jokes. In our neighborhood lived a'widovr with a daughter, her unix child. The rude dwelling anil the few acres of rough land, which her husband left at his death, with the toil ofher industti ens hands, were her only means ofsup pert. Yet sh:: met her misfortunes in a brave, true spirit, and bestowed .in finite care upon her child, who grew up with a refinement aid beauty rare indeed in the vicinity of Woodside. One evening in those days, we had all been invited to the good Deacon's to a husking. We had done all the worksupposed to be requited in the barn, and had adjourned to the joyful entertainment in the house. . Upon this occasion there was ayoung man earned Stanky with us, a iudile; tteuer r+us lefiow ft stn :he vi!hige, Me) some times visited the D.. , ercon, and had rum c•me t t learticipnte,in our rud.! spot ts. Hot t--any of us were di.appointed . its not ,t3cfrg the widow', daughter. Site was the light of I , ur circle, and we all felt that we could ill afrttrd . to spare her even for once. But the merry pro: ceec.iugs soon mad& us f,trg.rt her &t -hence ; and we we - te in the heig'tt of our enjoymeirt, when the door was suddenly opened, and the willow en tered with a pale countenance, agi:ated in every feature. We all - paused' in htantly tv learri the cause. It was ex plained in a few simple w 6111:. !' I sent Ella to tte pst-offtcethis m4ning, and :she has not returned. I hare been through the woods ealli - Irg her, but she did not answer. I feat she is lo,t, or has been seized with sudden illues,, and is left alone to.die, or that some teirible evil ho befallen her.,, Wat m and sympathising hearts throb bed beneath the rude crarments of'thai assembly, and there was a chain of feel - • r. tug linking us all to a single purpose, and that was to c ,m Hence the search i n ,t ant ly, a n d emitilme it till the pain fulmrstery was Bolved, "She has lost her v.-ay,"' said the good Deacon, to whoin we all instinc tively looked for .counsel, There ari many paths at the other side of the woods ; she took a wrong o to and got bewildered. Let us all go at once and search till we find her.. Give yourself no uneasiness:, Mr-. King; but stay 'here till we bting her to you," said he. addressing the excited mother. But she would rot listen to him, but join ed the party. . The Deacon directed us td separate, and go through the wo;)ds,—within hailing distance. In this way we could take in a wide tango at each Smrtrey- through the forest. We pro ceeded, calling " Ella ;" hut found our- selves upon the other side with no re sponse. Tire moonless night, the deep woods, the anguish of the mother, our own sympathy and forebodings, made it an- hour of awful and intense interest. Having passed the woods without find ing her, we formed again and return ed over a new sectrok with the same result: We again for Med, and the waning moon now came up, throwing a dim . light upon the scene and mak ing.our task more easy. But we again passed the woods with no response from the object °four scarlet]. Form: again," said the deacon ; but we need ed not the (.Ice,nri.a .d--sorr sor r]]ws gave mrens2th, and we had no thought. hut to. search CH .Ella was found. The mother, now aim it fran tic with de-Tair, urged us on. Von Must all . know it was a time of intense feeling. As we were this time returning through the woods, we heard the sten torian v..ice of S]noley calling out. "She is I,rud !" and the joyous cry " She is finind!" rang throng . ..l the old woods, as each one took it`up and shouted the glad - tidings to his neighbor in the search. The Deacon had surmised the true cause of Eiles abscenee. She took the Wrong-path and had wander ed a long way, without knowing whith er she Is cut. Night overtook her, and bewildered .and overcome with fear, her strength failed, and sinking upon -the - leafy earth, shefell asleep. 'Stan ley's strong voice art-used her, and he it was who brought her to her grateful and weeping mother. The Deacon insisted that the en tire party should go to his house, and the dim light of the dawn was awaken ing upon the hill-tops, when we en tered it. The old fiddler thought a lively tune and a jilt would be a fit cel ebration of the ,rescue ; but the honest Deacon had graver thoughts ; " Put up your fiddle," said be; this is the time for thanksgiving to our heavenly Fath er. Let us thank.him that in his good providence the lost is found ;" and fal ing upon his knees, .he poured out a prayer of earnest and heartfelt thanks giving. But I promised you a dramat icfinale to this reminiscence of An- Jumn ; and it came about in this wise. The getter .us young Stanley was cap tivated with Ella ; and th,u4l many of us wished ,urstilves as fi.rtu:ate as he, we all thought it tight when they were married a few years after ; 1 and we have looked with satisfaction upon the happy years that blessed their after life.

RECLPITMATION OPP Senate, House Rep El Democratic majority on joint ballot,. 3, AN AFFECTING LNCIDNEIT 'An affecting occurrence_ took place in a sea•kieard.town fn Englanj. Six little children got into a boat on the beach, and a mischievous boy shoved it off. The boat di laud away to sea • before the ctildren were missing. Tetrible was the ag•any of the m,th ers when they knew it. A number of men went off. in, all. directions— . — every boat was on the loulc%out until far in . the night. Daylight returned, and still there were no tidings from the helpless . children. TI e day wore away, and still nothing was heard from them. They were either lost iii4te wide expanse of the ocean, or buried within its unfathomable depths. A Plymouth fisherman, fishing ear ly next morning, discovered some thing floating in the distance. Ho bore down to it, and discovered it to be a boat, and in the bottom, six chil dren, all huddled together like.a nest of birds, fait asleep—God having mercifully given them ,that blessed Solace after a'day of terror and des pair. He took them aboard, and feasted them with bread and cheese, azd gladdened'their despairing little hearts with the promise of taking them home. Between three and four in the after noon, the • fisherman was seen in the owing, the boat astern. All eyes were turned eagerly towards him. The best spy-glass in town was tubbed again and aga!th and at last they could see that it was the identical boat. The news flew thrO'. town—the mothers c a me frantic to the beach, for there were no children discerned in the boat, none to he seen in the sloop. Intense was the agony. of suipense, a +(I ail alike shared it with, the parents. last the boat came in, and the w.:(1 went round,—'They are all Many stunt-hearted men burst Into tears, women shrieked :or joy, and bc calhe almost frantic with their insup portable happiness.- It wag, inikt-,1 a memorable day . ; and a prayer. quent, for its rough sincerity, was of fered up to_ Alntighty Gud, His iaiiite 'mercy, had spared these innocent children- from the perils and terrors of the, sea during that fearful night. - Five of :these children were under five years of age, and the sixth hut nine years.
