The Art-Union is established for the purpose of; extending a love for the fine arts throughout the j United States, and to give encouragement to Ar- j tists beyond that afforded by the patronage ofind'i- j viduala. Its promoters believe-that these arts can never attain their due rank in this country (already so far advanced in many of the other elements of civilization) until adequate encouragement be given to the highest-efforts of the Painter and Sculptor. For the accomplishment of this object, the Soci ety has adopted the following PLAN : 1. Each subscriber of Five Dollars becomes a member oi the Art-Union for one year. The money thus obtained is applied, first, to the procuring of a large and costly Engraving, from an original American Picture, of which every member receives a copy ; and next, to the purchase of Pic tures, Drawings, or other works of Art, with the funds distributed by lot among the members for that purpose. Tims, for the sum of Five Dollars, every member is sure of receiving a fine Engraving (worth alone the amount of his subscription) and the chance of obtaining a fine original Painting, to be SELECTED BY HIMSELF from any public exhibition in the United States. ; For further particulars call at the Painting Room of the undersigned, where can be seen a specimen of ilqj engraving, and where subscriptions are re ceived for,t.he same.

The moaning of thy winds I hear, ' i As the red sunset dies afar, And bars of purple clouds appear, Obscuring every western star. Thou solemn month! I hear thv voice : It tells my soul of other day's, When but to live was but to rejoice, When earth was lovely to my gaze ! Oh, visions bright—-oh, blessed hours, Where are their living raptures now v I ask my spirit’s wearied powers— I ask mv pale and fevered brow ! I look to Nature, and behold, My life’s dim emblems rustling round, In hues of crimson and of gold— The year's dead honors on the ground And, singing with the winds, I feel. While their low pinions murmur bv, How much their sweeping tones reveal. Of life ami human destiny. When spring’s delight some, moments shone, They came in zephyrs from the west; They bore the woodlark’s melting tone, They stirred the blue lark’s glassy breast ; Through summer, fainting in the heat, They lingered in the forest shade ; But changed and strengthened now, they beat’ In storms o’er mountain, glen and glade. How like those transports of the breast, When life is fresh and joy is new ; Soil as the halcyon’s downy nest, And transient all as they are true; They stir the leaves in that bright wreath, Which Hope about her forehead twines, 'fill Grief’s hot sighs around it breathe, Then Pleasure’s lip its smile resigns ! Like cloiula in autumns gusty air, The burial pageant of the spring. The dreams that each successive year, -jSeeimd bathed in hues of brighter pride. At last like withered leaves appear, And sleep in darkness side by side. Talleyrand and Arnold. 'There was a day when arrived in Havre, hot foot Irom Paris. It was in the darkest hour of the French Revolution. Pursued by the bloodhounds of the Reign of Terror, stripped of every wreck of property or power, Talleyrand secured a passage to America in a ship about to sail. He was going a beggar and a wanderer to a strange land, to eSrn his bread by daily labor. -Is there an American staying at your house?" he asked the landlord of the hotel. ‘'l am bound j to and would like a letter to some j person of influence in the New World.’ ; The landlord hesitated a moment then replied. ! “There is a gentleman up stairs, either Irom | America or Britain, but whether an American or I Englishman, I cannot tell." He pointed the way, and Talleyrand—who in his life was Bishop. Prince, and Prime Minister as cended the stairs. A miserable supplicant he stood before the stranger's door, knocked and entered. In the far corner of a dimly lighted room sat a gentleman of some fifty years, his arms folded, and his head bowed on his breast. From a window directly opposite. a flood of light poured over his forehead. His eyes looking from beneath the downcast brows gazed on Talleyrand's face with a peculiar and search expression. His face was. striking in its outline ; the mouth and chin indica tive of an iron will. His form, vigorous, even with the snows pf fifty winters was clad in a dark, but rich and distinguished costume. Talleyrand advanced —stated that he was a fugi- tive—and under the impression that the gentleman before him was an American he poured forth his history in eloquent French and broken English— 11 1 am a wanderer—an exile. Tam forced to fly to the New World, without a friend or home. You are an American! Give me then, I beseech you a letter of yours, so that I may be able to earn ray bread. lam willing to toil in any manner— the scenes of Paris have filled me with such horror, that a life of labor would be paradise to a career of luxury in France. Yon will give me a letter to one of your friends. A gentleman like yon have doubtless many friends.” The strange gentleman rose. With a look that Talleyrand never forgot, he retreated towards the door of the next chamber, his head still downcast, his eyes lookingstill from beneath hisdarkened brow. He spoke as he retreated backward: his voice was full of meaning—' “I am the only man born in the New World who can raise his hand to God and- say—l have not a friend —notone in all America!” Talleyrand never .forgot the overwhelming sad ness of that look which accompanied these words. u Who arc you !’* he cried ae the strange man retreated towards the next room. Your name?” l - My name” —with a smile that had more ol mockery than joy in its convulsive expression— t:my name is Benedict Arnold.” He was gone. Tallpyrand sank in a chair grasp ing the words— “ Arnold, the traitor!” Thus you see he wandered over the earth another Cain, with a wanderer's mark upon his brow.— Even in that secluded room at that Inn of Havre, his crimes found him out and forced him to tell his name—sthat name the aynonyme of infamy. The last twenty years of his life are covered with a cloud, from whose darkness but a few gleams of light flash out upon the page of history. The manner of his death is not exactly known ’ —Buchanan.

OCTtfIIER. miscellaneous But we cannot doubt that he died utterly friendless —that his cold brow was not moistened by one farewell tear—that remorse pursued him to the grave, whispering John Andre! in his ears, and that the memory 7 of his course of glory gnawed like a canker at his heart, murmuring for ever. “True to your country, what might you not have been. O Arnold the Traitor!'’ Bean Mvift an«l flit* Tailor* A tailor in Dublin, near the residence of the Dean, took it into the “ ninth part 1 ' ofliis head that he whs specially and divinely inspired to interpret the prophecies, und especially the hook of ftcvelu lions, Quilting the shop bnurd, he turned out a preacher, or rather it prophet, until his customers hud left hii i-hup, and his family were likely to famish. Hi* monomania was well known to the Dean, who benevolently watched an opportunity to turn the current of his thoughts. One night, the tailor, hk he fancied, got especial revelution to go ami convert Dean Swift, and next morning took up the line of march to the deanery . The Dean, whose study was furnished with a glass door, saw the tailor approach and instantly surmised the na ture of his errand. Throwing himself into an atti tude of solemnity and thoughtfulness, with the Bible opened before him, and his eyes fixed on the 10th chapter of Revelations, he awaited his ap proach. The door opened, and the tailor announ ced in an unearthly voice— “ Dean Swift, I am sent by the Almighty to announce to you,— my friend,' 1 6aid the Dean.‘ I am in great trouble, and no doubt the Lord has sent you tp help me out ol my difficulty.” This unexpected welcbme inspired the tailor, and strengthened his assurance in his own proph etic character, and disposed him to listen to the disclosure. My friend.” said the Dean, “ I have just been reading the 10th chapter of Revelations, and am greatly distressed at a difficulty* I have met with, and you are the very man sent to help me out. Heie is an account of an angel that came down from heaven, who was so large that he placed &e foot on the earth and lifted up bis hands to heaven. Now my knowledge of mathematics,” continued the Dean, “ has enabled me to calculate exactly the size and form of .this angel, but I am in great diffi culty, for 1 wish to ascertain how muejy cloth it will take to make him a pair of breeches ; and as that is exactly in your line of business, I have no doubt the Lord has sent you to show me.” This exposition came like an electric shock to the poor tailor! He rushed trom the house, ran to his shop, and a sudden revulsion of thought arid feeling came over him. Making breeches was ex actly in his line of business. He returned to his occupation, thoroughly cured o/ his prophetic reve lation by the wit of the Dean. The Wall of China. A work on China recently published in England. Tart ary,*'is reputed lobe more than 3,1)00 miles in length—but the real length does not exceed 1,300 miles. Its course is not always even, sometimes descending into deep valleys, at others rising to the top of lofty mountains. Its height constantly va ries, being much greater in certain situations, espe cially in the valleys, whilst in some places it does not rise higher than fifteen feet. In some parts this wall is built entirely of atone,-in others ol stone and brick mixed ;,and such is its breadth,.that carriages can drive along the top with ease. The writer adds: I am informed that the interior of the wall was filled up with earth, and that it was built of that breadth not only for convenience m time of war, but also to facilitate the transportation of materials when it was building, as it would otherwise have been impossible to carry it over steep and precipi tous spots. It would, in fact, have been beneath the advanced civilization ol the Chinese to build a national barrier, passing over rocks, ravines, and mountains, without providing a passage for horse and foot soldiers. Upon examining this work 1 was greatly astonished to find that, although it was built more than eighteen hundred years ago, it is still so perfect that it does not appear to have been finished above a century. It is decayed only in a few pla ces. and these delapidations the Tartars, who are now in possession of do not trouble them selves to repair. They only preserve and defend the gates through which there is much traffic. Un der the native Chinese Government, one million of soldiers were employed to guard and garrison this marvelous work. Who Is Old t A wise man will never rust out. As long as he can move and breathe, he will be doing something for himself, his neighbors, or for posterity. Almost to the last year of his life, Washington was at work. So were Franklin, and Young, and Howard, and Newton. The vigor of their lives never de cayed. No rust marred their spirits. It is a fool ish idea to suppose we must lie down and die, be cause we are old. Who is old ’? Not the man of energy ; not the day laborer in science, art, or bene volence ; but he only who suffers his energies to waste away, and the spring of life to become mo tionless ; on whose hands the hours drag heavily, and to whom all things wear the garb of gloom. Is he old'? should not be asked; but, is he active l can he breathe freely and move with agility ? There are scores of gray-headed men we should prefer, in any important enterprise, to those youug gentlemen who fear and tremble at approaching shadows, and turn pale at a lion in their path. Modest Literacy Request. “One morning,” Scott said, “I opened a huge lump of a despatch, without looking how it was addressed, never doubting that it had travelled under some omnipotent frank, like the First Lord of Admiralty’s, when, lo and behold, the contents proved to be a MS. play, by a young lady, of New York, who kindly requested me to read and correct it, equip it with prologue and epilogue, procure it a favorable reception from the manager of Drury Lane, and make Murry or Constable bleed hand somely for the copyright; and inspecting the dover I found that I had been charged five pounds odd for the postage. This was bad enough,—but there was no help, so I groaned and submitted. A fort night or so after, another packet, of not less for midable bulk, arrived, and I was* absent enough to break its seal too, without examination. Conceive my horror when out jumped the, identical tragedy ol “The Cherokee Lovers” with a second epistle from the' authoress, stating, that, as the winds had been boisterous, she feared the vessel entrusted with her former communication might have foun dered, and therefore judged it prudent to forward a duplicate.

Flower*, How the universal heart of man blesses flowers'* They are wreathed round the cradle, the marriage delights in their perfume, and writes his love in nosegays: while the Indian child of the far West claps his hands with glee as he gathers the abun dant flowers—the illuminated scripture?* ol the prairies. The Cupid of the ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows with flowers, and orange buds are the bridal crown with us, a nation of yesterday. Flow ers garlauded the Grecian altar, and they hang in votive wreaths before the Christian shrine. All these are appropriate uses. Flowers should deck the brow of the youthful bride, for they are in themselves a lovely type of marriage. They should twine round the tomb, for their perpetually renewed beauty is a symbol of their resurrection. 'They should rest on the altar, for their fragrance and their beauty ascend in perpetual worship before the Most High. , Frenchman at his English Studies, Frenchman —Ha, my good friend, I have met with one difficulty—one wry strange word.
