A solemn fellow is this Autumn. with

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.

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

innocent children- from the perils and

night. - Five of :these children were
