SONG OF AUTUMN
I come, I come, ye may hear my song,
From hilltop to valley His pealing alqjig;
The leafless bough is my wild harp’s’string,
And loudly and long do its echoes ring.
Ye may know the path by the golden grain,
And the rainbow hues on my bordered train ;
By the towering maple’s scarlet tress,
And her forest sister’s gorgeous dress.
The wild flower bows her gentle head,
As she hears afar my conquering tread,
And the prince of the forest doffs his crest,
As a.beggar low to a kingly guest.
Ye may see my power in the night walk still,
When the starlight sleeps on the mountain rilL;
Where the ripples that danced the livelong dav,
I hush in their wild and careless play.
And bind them fast with a chrystal chain,
That a sunbeam’s touch might break again
While fairy frost with her glittering gems.
Weaves memariy a diadem.
Oh, proudly now I career along,
And breezes are pealing my triumph song ;
While earth from her garner her treasure brings
To lay on the shrine of the Autumn king.
But listen ! I hear a note of dread,
And I see afar a hoary head;
And a freezing look from a piercing eye,
Warns me with lightning speed to fly.
’Tis icy cold Winter, I know him well,
I have felt before his withering spell ;
A grim old tyrant and lordly is he,
And he laughs outright when he’s conquered me.

The Mother’s Lesson.
A mother, sitting in her parlor, overheard Iter
child, whom a sister was dressing, say repeatedly',
“No, I don't want to say my' prayers, I don't want
to say my prayers.” 1
“ Mother,” said the child appearing at the parlor
door
“Good morning, my child.”
'• I am going to get ’my breakfast.”
*• Stop a minute, I want you to come and see me
The mother laid down her work on the next
chair; and the boy ran toward her. She took him
upi *He kneeled in her lap. and laid his face down
upon her shoulder, his cheek against her ear. The
mother rocked her chair slowly backward and for
ward—“ Are you pretty well this morning?” said
she, in a kind and gentle tone.
“Yes, mother, I am very well.”
“I am glad you are well. I.am very' well, too;
and when I waked up this morning and found that
I was well, T thanked God for taking care of me.'
“ Did you ?'' said the boy in a low tone —half a
whisper. He paused after it—conscience was at
its work.
“ Did you ever feel my pul>e ? ' asked his mother'
after a minute of silence, at the same time hiking
the boy down and sitting him in her lap. and pla
cing his fingers on her wrist.
“No, but I have felt mine.”
“Well, don't you leel mine now—how it goes
•beating."
“ Yes/’ says the child.
‘‘ If it should stop beating 1 should die.
“ Should you ?"
“ Yes, I can't keep it beating."
M Who can ?"
‘•God." A silence. ••You have a pulse too
which beats here in your bosom, in your arm. and
all over you, arid 1 cannot keep it beating, nor (ran
you—nobody can but God. If he should not take
care oi you who could '?"
‘•I dou’t know," said the child, with a look of
anxiety, and another pause ensued.
“ So’when I waked this morning I thought I'd
ask God to take care of me and all of us."
“ Did you ask him to take care of me ?"
“ No.” •
“Why not?"
“ Because I thought you would ask him yourself.”
A long pause ensued—the deep ami thoughtful
expression of his countenance showed that his heart
was reached.
Don’t you think you had better ask him your
“ Yes,” said the boy, readily.
He kneeled again in his mother's lap, and uttered
in his simple and hroken language, a prayer for the
protection of Heaven. s
Devotion.
Devotion implies sincere gratitude to God, lor
all his benefits. This is a warmer emotion than
simple veneration. Veneration look 3 up to
Deity, as he is in himself; gratitude regards what
he is towards us. When a devout man surveys
this vast universe, where beauty and goodness are
everywhere predominant; when he reflects on those
numberless multitudes of creatures, who, in their
different stations, enjoy the blessings of existence;
and when at the same time he looks up to an Uni
versal Father, who hath thus 'filled creation with
life- and happiness, his heart glows within him.
He adores that disinterested goodness which promp
ted the Almighty to raise up so .many orders of
intelligent beings, riot that he might receive, but
that he might give and impart; that he might pour
forth himself, and communicate to the spirits which
he formed, some emanations of his felicity.
The goodness of the Supreme Benefactor he
gratefully contemplates, as displayed in his own
state. He reviews the events of his life, and in
every comfort which has sweetened it he discerns
the Divine hand. Does he remember with affection,
the parents under whose care he grew up, and the
companions with whom he passed his youthful life ?
. Is he now happy, in his family rising around him,
in the spouse who loves him. or in the children who
give'him comfort and joy '? Into every tender re
membrance of the past, and every pleasing enjoy
ment of the present, devotion enters; for in all
those beloved objects it recognises God. The com
munication of love from - heart to heart, is an effu.
Bioo- of his goodness. From his inspiration des
cends all the friendship which ever glowed on earth;
and, therefore, to him it justly returns in gratitude,
and terminates on him.
All Full.
Lamb was one day returning from a dinner
party in ihe suburbs of London. It was rainy,
and the stage consequently crowded, when a gen
tleman attempted an entry, but : paused and asked
somewhat doubtfully: “Are you all full inside'”
“I don’t know how it is with the other gentlemen,”
said Lamb, in his own quiet way, “but I must say
that last piece of oyster pje did the business for
Death of a Child.
No one feels the death of a child as a mother feels
it. F.ven the father cannot realize it thus. There
is a vacancy in his. home, and a heaviness in his
heart; there is a chain of association that comes
round with its broken link: there are memories of
endearment, a keen sense of loss, a weeping over
crushed hopes, and! pain of wounded affection. But
the mother feels that one has been taken-away who
was still closer to’her heart. Hers has the of
fice of constant .ministration. Kvery gradation of
teature has developed before her eyes. She has de
tected every new gleam of intelligence. She lias
been the refuge of his fears, the supply of las wants;
And when he dies, a portion of her own life, as it
were, dies. How can she give it up, with air the
memories of these associations? The timid hands
that have so often taken her's in trust and love, how
can she fold them on his breast, and give him up
to the cold clasp of death? The feet whose wan
derings she has watched so narrowly, how can she
see them straightened to go down to the dark
valley ? The head, that she has pressed to her lips
and bosom, that she has watched in burning sick
ness, and peaceful slumber, a" hair of which she
yvould not see harmed. Oh! how can she consign
it to the chamber of the grave? The form that
not one night has been beyond her vision or her
knowledge, how can she put it away for the long
night of the sepulchre, to see it no more? Man
ilas cares and toils that draw away his thoughts
and employ them: she sits in loneliness, and all
these memories, all these suggestions crowd upon
her. How can she bear all this? She could not,
were it not that her faith is as her affection: and
if the one is more deep and tender than in man.
the other is more simple and spontaneous, and
takes confidently hold of the hand of God.
Burke
Was one of the most splendid specimens of Irish
talent; but his imagination too often ran away with
his judgment, and his interest with both.
It is well known that Burke on his first debut in
life improved himself not a little under the banners
and the patronage of the opposition; for which pur
pose he was a constant frequenter of the various
debates and disputations held at the house of one
Jeacocke, a baker, but who, notwithstanding his
situation in life, was gifted with such a vein of
eloquence, that he Was unanimously' constituted
perpetual president o! the famous disputing society
held at Robin Hood, near Temple Bar. On a cer
tain rttemorable occasion in the House of Commons,
Mr. Burke exclaiming “ I quit the camp!” suddenly
left the opposition benches, and going over to the
triusury side of the house, thundered a violent phil
ippic against his former friends and associates. Mr.
Sheridan concluded a spiritedreply to that unlooked
for attack, nearly in the following words: *• That
gentleman, to use his own expression has quitted
the camp; but he will recollect that he has quitted
as a deserter, and 1 sincerely hope he will never
return as a spy. But I, for one, ‘ he continued,
•• cannot sympathise in the astonislHiicnt with which
so flagrant an act of apostaey has electrified the
House; lor neither I. nor that gentleman, have for
gotten from whom he has borrowed those weapons
which he now uses against us. So far, therefore,
from being astonished at that gentleman'- present
tergiversation, 1 consider it not only r characteristic,
but consistent, for it is but natural, that he who is
on his first starting in life, could commit so gross
a blunder as to go the/wArr's for his eloquence. should
conclude such a career, b.y coming to the House of
Commons for his bread.”
Extracts from ‘•Lacon/’
It was an observation of the Lord Bishop of
Landaff. that there are but two kinds of men who
succeed as public characters, men of no principle,
but o! great talent, and men of no talent, but of
one.principle, that of obedience to their superiors.
It is lamentable to think, what a gulf of imprac
ticability must ever separate men of principle,
whom offices won/, from rneu of no principle, who
want offices.
Those who would conscientiously Employ power
for the good of others, deserve it, but do not desire
it: and those who would employ it for the good of
themselves, desire it, but do not deserve it.
He that is gone so far as to cut the claws of the
lion, will not leel himself quite secure, until he has
also drawn his teeth.
Of all the passions, jealousy is that which exacts
he hardest service, and pays the bitterest wages.
!ts service is—to watch the success ot our enemy
ts wages—to be sure of it.
There is but one pursuit in life which it is in the
power of all to follow, and of all to attain. It is
Subject to no disappointments, since he that per
severes, makes every difficulty an advancement,
and every contest a victory; and this is th<* pursuit
of virtue. Sincerely to aspire after virtue, is to
gain her; and zealously to labor after her wages.
Is to receive them. Those that seek her early,
will find her before it is late; her reward also is
with her, and she will come quickly. For the
breast of a good man is a little heaven commen
cing on earth; where the Deity'sits enthroned with
unrivalled influence, every safety from danger, re
source from sterility, and subjugated passion, “like
the wind and storm, fulfilling his word."
A Beautiful Legend.
We find in a late sermon of Theodore Parker,
the following story. The subject of the discourse
is “rest;"
“They tell a story that one day Rabbi Judah
and his brethren, the seven pillars of Wisdom, sat
in the Court of the Temple, on. feast day disputing
about rest. One said that it was to have attained
sufficient wealth, yet without sin. The second,
that .it was fame and praise of all men. The third,
that it was the possession of power, to rule the
state. The fourth, that it consisted only in a happy
home. The fifth, that it must he in the old age of
one who is rich, powerful, famous, surrounded by
children and children’s children. The sixth, said
that all that were vain unless a man keep all the
ritual law of Moses. And Rabbi Judah, the vene
rable, the tallest of the brothers, said: “Ye have
spoken wisely, but one thiug more is necessary.
He only can find rest, who to all these things add
eth this, that he keepeth the tradition of the elders.”
“ There sat in the Court a fair-haired boy, play
ing with his lilies in his lap, and hearing the talk,
dropped them with astonishment from his hands
and looked up—that boy of twelve—and said,
“ Nay, nay, fathers, he only loveth rest, who loves
his brother as himself, and God with his whole
heart and soul. He is greater than fame and
wealth and power, happier than a happy home,
happy without it, better than honored age, he is a
law to himself, and above all tradition.” The
doctors were astonished. -They said, when Christ
cometff shall he tell us greater things'? And they
thanked God, for they said, “The old men are, not
always wise, yet, God be praised that out of the
mouth of this young suckling has His praise be
come perfect”

CITY OF LANCASTER, MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1848.
The London Dispatch gives this glowing picture
of the United States:
“If ever there was a people on this earth blessed
with every appliance that can make .life happy,
man contented, and a nation prosperous, it is sure
ly the citizens of the United States of America.
They possess unlimited means of education and
intelligence; the most unbounded liberty: the most
enlightened institutions—a territory so vast, varied
and fertile. that there poverty is not only not
known, but destitution is impossible. 'With light
burdens, superabundance of every production that
can minister not only to the necessities, but to the
higher comforts of life; separated from all enemies
that could be at all formidable to them by the
broad Atlantic—distinguished for energetic indus
try, boundless enterprise, remarkable ingenuity and
genius, and a restless spirit of progress—what
have they to fear from without, for what have they
to be anxious within, what have they to wish or
hope lbr that is not already realized ? With them
solicitude for the future would be as preposterous
as the idea of danger in the present. The’growth
of population, the pressure ot competition, which
create disorder, misery', revolution, insecurity in
the older countries of the world, are relief, life,
security, wealth to the Americans.
Moral greatness consists not in the office a man
fills, or in the elevation he has reached by the zeal
of his friends. The humblest individual in our
neighborhood, may in reality be the greatest man
in town. He is unknown by the crowd; but in
correct principles, moral habits, and unbending in
tegrity, he shows grandeur of character, which no
man can boast. His talents and exertions are form
ing and fixing the inhabitants of multitudes who
are not sensible of the influence he has upon them.
He works silently, judiciously, and constantly. This
is moral greatness. Where you find a man leading
you along imperceptibly, as by silken cords and
silent resistless appeals, you may be sure he pos
sesses in a pre-eminent degree the elements of real
greatness.
Such an individual is worth to God and humanity'
a thousand times as much as the man who is eleva
ted in the glare of selfishness and popular applause
—who has been fitted up by the hands of others—
but who never raised himself an inch by his cour
age. his steadfastness, his moral power or virtue.
Tlie Difference.
Stealing a loaf of bread or a string of onions is
called petit larceny ; but the defaulter or fraudulent
official, in starched collar and broad cloth coat, who
makes way with fifty’, 6eventy r -five, or a hundred
thousand dollars of other people's hard earning’s
and hard dollars, is politely adjudged to be simply'
guilty of a peccadillo! The former is locked up in
jail, and the latter is admitted to free and easy bail.
The one is hustled out of the way as a graceless
thief, but the other escapes punishment, generally
by a liberal use of the money that he has filched
from those who put their trust in him. The rag
ged and penniless wretch who steals a shilling's
worth of food, stands iiu chance at all of escape;
but y’our well dressed and respectably connected
scamp, whose purse is as heavy as his conscience
is elastic, has nine chances out of every ten in his
favor, and: seldom fails, even when closely passed
and warmly hugged, to wire out somewhere, escape
conviction and justice, and run his face for such
loose sympathy as the world may have at its dispo
sal. tor sach as are deserving only of condemnation
for gross dishonesty. —Albany Express.
Mexican Milkmen,
One of the curiosities of Mexico, is the manner
of selling milk; instead of the neat, white, wooden
vessel, or the spouted tin can, with the different
measures hung upon it. and the rattling bell-cart, to
convey it from place to place with despatch, or, an
old homespun looking negro packing it about on
his hard crowned head, wahavc the animals them
selves driven from door to door of the different reg,
ular customers, where they are milked, and a regu
lar stand, where the transient patrons are supplied
by milking it into the vessels in which they take it
home. Besides a drove of cows, with the calves
all muzzled, running and bleating after them, there
is also a gang of goats and asses driven along, that
people may suit themselves as to quality and price,
as also their different tastes —for which there is no
accounting.
It is said that in 180-1, according to the best es
timate that can be obtained, there were in existence
only about 1,000,000 copies of the Bible. Now
there are more than 30,000,0H0. In 1804, the Bible
had only .been published in 18 or 49 languages; in
1848, it existed in 13G. In 1804, it was accessible
in languages spoken by 200,000,000 of men; in
1847, it existed in tongues spoken by G00,000,00p.
During the last year, 1,419,283 copies were issued
by the British and Foreign Bible Societies alone—
-400,000 more than in any year before, except in
1843’.
Reverence for Religion.
Impress your mind with a reverence for all
that is sacred. Let no wantonness of youthful
spirits, no compliance with the intemperate mirth
of others, ever betray you into profane sallies.—
Besides the guilt thereby incurred, nothing gives a
more odious appearance of petulence to youth, than
the reflection of treating religion with levity. Instead
of being an evidence of superior understanding, it
discovers a pert and shallow mind, which, vain
of the first smattering of knowledge, presumes to
make light of what the rest of mankind revere.
At the same time you are not to imagine that
when exhorted to be religious, you are called
upon to be more formal and solemn in your man
ners than others of the same 1 years, or to erect
yourselves into supercilious reprovers ot those
around- The spirit of true religion breathes gen
tleness and kindness. It is social, kind, cheerful
removed from the gloom and illiberal superstition
which clouds the brow, sharpens the temper, dejects
the spirit, and teaches men to fit themselves for
another world, by neglecting the concerns of this.
Let your religion, on the contrary, connect prepa
ration lor Heaven with an honorable discharge of
the duties of active life. Of such religion, discover
on every proper occasion that you are not ashamed
but avoid making any unnecessary ostentation of it
before the world.
Who will be Elected ?
An old lady has been sadly puzzled about the
number of Presidential candidates; pushing her
spectacles over her forehead the other day, she ex
claimed : “Well, there's a great talk about who
shall be President. Some say Cass, some say Tay
lor, some say Van Buren, some say Old Rough and
Ready, but I think that William Proviso will be
I elected after all, though he is not a General.”

Uncle Benjanaln’s Sermon.
Not many hours ago I heard my Uncle Benjamin
discussing this matter to his son, who was com
plaining of pressure. .
t; Rely upon it, Sammy,’l said the old man, as he
leaned on his stafH with his grey locks flowing in
the breeze of a May morning, “ murmuring pays no
bills. I have been an observerany time these fifty
years, and I never saw a man helped out of' a hole
by cursing his horses. Be as quiet as you can, for
nothing will grow under a moving harrow, and
discontent harrows the mind. Matters are bad, I
acknowledge, but no ulcer is any better for linger
ing. The more you groan the poorer you grow.
“ Repining at losses is only putting pepper into
a sore eye. Crops will fail in all soils, and we may
be thankful that we have not a famine. Besides, I
always took notice that whenever I felt the rod
pretty smartly, it was as much as to say, “here is
something which you have got to learn.” r Sammy,
don't forget that your* schooling is not over yet,
though yoil have a wife and two children.”
“Ay,” cried Sammy, “ you may say that, and a
mother-in-law, and two apprentices into the bargain;
and I should like to know what a poor man can
learn here, when the greatest scholars and lawyers
are at loggerheads, and can't for their lives tell what
has become, of all the hard money.”
“ Soltly, Sammy, lam older than you. I have
not these gray hairs and this erooked back without
some burdens. I could tell you .stories of the days
of continental money, when my grandfather used
to stuff a sulky-box with bills to pay for a yearling
or a wheat fan, and when the Jersey women used
thorns for pins, and laid their teapots away in the
garret. You wish to know what you can learn ?
You may learn these seven things.
“ First: That you have saved too little and spent
too vuuh. I never taught you to be a miser, hut I
have seen you giving your dollar for a “notion,”
when you might have laid one half aside for charity,
and one half aside for a rainy day.
“ Secondly: That you have gone too much upon
credit. 1 always told you credit was a shadow ;it
shows that there is a substance behind, which casts
the shadow-; but a small body may cast a greater
shadow, and no wise man will follow the shadow
any further than he can see the substaqce. You may
now learn that you have .followed the opinion of
others until you have been decoyed into a bog.
“ Thirdly: That you have beenin too much haste
to become rich. Slow and easy wins the race.
“ Fourthly: That no course of life can be depend
ed upon as always prosperous. lam afraid the
younger race of working men in America have a
notion that nobody would goto ruin on this side of
the water. Providence has greatly blessed us, but
we have become presumptuous.
“Fifthly: That you have not been thankful enough
to God for his benefits' in past time.
“ Sixthly: piat you may be thankful our lot is
no worse. We might have famine, or pestilence,
or war, tyranny, or all together.
“ And lastly, to end my sermon, you may loatn
to offer, with more undsrstanding, the prayer o:
your infancy, 1 Give us this day our daily bread.'
The old man ceased, and Sammy put on his
apron, and told Dick to blow away at the bellows.
The Word ‘•'Dun.”
Some erroneously suppose that it comes from
the French word donnor, to give, implying a demand,
but the true origin of this word, too frequently used
is from one John Dunn , a famous bailiff or sheriff s
officer of the town of Lincoln: so extremely active
and dexterous was he at the management of his
rough business, that it became a proverb, when a
man refused or perhaps could not pay his debts,
“ Why don't you Dunn him'?”—that is “why dont
you send Dunn to arrest him ?” Hence it became
a custom or proverb and is as old as the days of
Henry the Seventh. But the word Dunn is not
merely confined to demanding payment with im
portunity, but to any other thing demanded in a
similar manner.
Personal Security
“Will you do me a favor?” says young George
Brooks to his wealthy friend Simon Hanson. “What
is it. George?” says Hanson. “ I wish you to lend
me a hundred pounds, sir,” replies George. “ Call
at my counting-house,” rejoined Hanson. George
was not long in paying his respects. “ What secu
rity can you give me, young gentleman '?” “My
own personal security, sir.” “Very well; get in
here/' says Hanson, lifting up the lid of a large iron
chest. “ Get in there!" exclaimed George in aston
ishment ; “ what lor ?” “ Why that is the place
where I always keep my securities."
A Yard of PorK*
In a neighboring town, in which they were build
ing a railroad, a party of men, who were employed
there, went to the store of a real live Yankee, and
thinking they would show a specimen of their wit,
one asked for a yard of pork, whereupon the Yan
kee deliberately cut off three pigs' feet, and handed
them to the rnan. Pat not at first understanding
the joke, asked: “And sure, and is that what you
would calling a yard of pork ?” Certainly
replied the \ r ankee, coolly, “dont you know that
in this country three feet make a yard.”
Remarkable Rescue.'
On Friday evening sis the o'clock Dorchester
and Milton Train was starting on its way from the
Old Colony Depot, a female having a child of two
years of ago in her arms attempted to jump from
the platform ol the depot on to the cars, and us is
usual with inexperienced persons in such cases, she
missed her footing and with the child fell between
the cars. With great presence of mind a young ‘
man, as we understand by the name ol Clarence
A. Dorr, of Dorchester, immediately spruug to her
assistance and, seizing her by the hair, sustained
her in that position until her shrieks and the shouts
of the passengers reached the ear of the engineer,
and he stopped the train—at a fortunate moment,
it would seem, aB but a second previous, the woman’s
hair gave w f ay leaving masses of it in the young
man's hands. The child fortunately rolled into the
piddle of the track and' the train passed over it
safely; and mother and child were taken into the
cars, and proceeded on their way.— Boston Transcript.

The Art-Union is established for the purpose of
extending a love for the fine arts throughout the
United States, and to give encouragement to-Ar
tists beyond that afforded by the patronage of indi
viduals. 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 of the Art-Union for one year.
The money thus obtained is applied, firßt, 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.
Thus, 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 the engraving, and where subscriptions are re
ceived for the same. A. ARMSTRONG..

Cl TRIKE! said he, for the hour is come —the
hour that summons us to glory or to a glorious
dress. Strike, said ho, for your homes, ycur altars,
and your firesides. Now is the day, and now is the
hour that summons us to a glorious victory. We
strike for our rights and our native land. We
strike ugainst distinction in external appearance
and have raised a hall of defence.
Behold! Behold! the mighty Lancaster Hall of
Fashions. He has brought the price of superfine
clothing within the reach of all. No more boast of
importing Clothing for my express person —no
more disparaging American Mechanics. High over
all raise the standard ol equality in dress and
defy the world to show better or more elegant fitting
garments tharnaro now produced and sold at the
most trifling expense, at the Lancaster Hall of
