When tired 'with the toils of day, The strife for glory, gold or fame, How sweet to seek the quiet way,. . Where loving lips will lisp our name Around the light at Home When through the dark and stormy night, The weary wanderer homeward hies ; How cheering is that twingling Which through the forest gloom he spies 1 It is the light at home he feels, Thatdoving hearts will greet him there, And softly through his bosom steals, That joy and love that banish care, Around the Light at Home The Light at Home, when ere at last, It greets the seaman through the storm ; He feels no more the chilling blast, Thrit beats upon his manly form: Long years upon the sea have fled, Since Mary gave her parting kiss; But the sad tears which then she shed, Will now be paid with rapturous bliss. - Around the Light at Home The light at Home! how still and sweet It peeds from yonder cottage door— The weary laborer to greet= When the rough toils of day are o'er. Sad is the soul that does not know The blessings that its beams impart, The cheerful hopes and joys that flow, And lighten up the heaviest heart, Around the Light at licime Autumn. Downward Times sunny slope the year descending With slow step guides; Like Pan he seems his ready music blending • With the eternal tides. The loud, full strains of the bright festive Simmer, He once outpoured, . Now modulate with low and gentle murmur • To a rich minor chord. Slowly he goes, with gay leaves red and yellow Around him abound ; With wheat and ripe fruits large and mellow Well over-topped and crowned. As from a tree, he drops the days so golden, Like his own fruits, Each one a reflex of that sunshine olden, That woke Arcadian flutes. Far o'er the crystal streams, thro , tangled woods, To mountain sides, He breathes o'er all his still autumnal moods, As softly as he glides. The grass is green beneath his silent tread , But the pale leaves Are falling ; passing sometimes o'er their bed The chill wind sobs and grieves And the small rain cameo drizzling thro , the air; The cold gray cloud Hangs on the faces of the mountains fair, And' wraps them in a Shroud. Yet stealeth on the cheerful stout old Year, And draws away His clouds; and bids the sunlight glittering clear Burst out in joyour days. The glow of vigorous eld, a kindly light Is on his face, At morn, at sunset, through the cool moist nigy, Still goes his stehdy pace. ,4+s—[down to the deep vale of the Past he goes Invisible gates Before him opeb and behold him close, Locked by the sternold Fates And we ws are gliding with him hand in hand; There is no spot Where we may pause to question or command The power that yieldeth not. May I but pass as peacefully as thou, When age draws near, With fruits and gay leaf chaplets on my brow, Like the departing Year. The Bachelor's Mistake: OR, HOW JONAS JENKS WAS ASTONISHED DY E LUCY ',INWOOD The hero of our sketch we will call Jonas Jenks. A natural feeling of sympathy forbids our using his real name; and as he is an extremely sensitive old gentleman, he might not care to be made a subject o f merriment for our reader. Jonas Jenks was what all the world would call —a 'clever fellow;' but beyond this his good quali ties were feW. He was looked upon, with the same thatfeeling you would regard the stump of an old tree, that neither bore leaves to shade you in the summer, nor fruit to pay for its, keeping through the winter. He was styled neither wise, useful; nor agreeable. He was not agreeable because he did not make himself entertaining to the ladies. He was not useful, for he never looked beyond his imme diate personal wants; and he showed great lack of wisdom in living forty years alone when he might have been blessed with 'God's best gift to man'— woman. He did not acquire wealth, becaue it need ed two heads like his to make money and take care of it. He was ever dropping his buttons in the street, and spending Money for pins; he wore his stockings without heels or toes, and ate from his unwashed dishes day by clay, all for want of a lit tle energy to look Around for a wife. Still Jonas was 'a clever fellow;' and at that age even, his friend Otis Balker thought he would make an excelleal husband for his sister, who was yet on the sunny side of thirty, and still looking quite youthful- Calling onthe bachelor in his solitary abode, one morning, Otis found him crouching.over the stove and looking downcast and sad. 'Jonas,' said he, '1 think 1 know( what ails you. 'What makes you think anything ails me ?' gruf fly replied the bachelor. - 'Because you are not lively and happy. You are lonely and want society. No one can enjoy life without some friends. In short you want a wife ; and my advice to you is to get married." 'Ah, that is .a very good advice, my friend; but I have got along these forty years without a' wife, and I guess I shall have to finisn out the rest in the same way. Because you have been a fool forty years is no reason why you must be a greater one for the next forty; or as many as you may live, which, I think is:quite as likely to be sixty.' ( jesting aside) I do believe if I had taken a wife twenty years ago, I should have been quite as well for it now; but who would think of marrying an old fashioned man with the wrink les on his cheeks of forty winters?' ' 'Oh, that is nothing against you. There is many a smart damsel who would jump at the chance to sign herself Mrs. Jenks' . 'I don't want an old maid any how ! If I ever do get a wife, I will go out of the family for her.— If I could cage some sprightly:lass of eighteei . or twenty, I do not know but I might be tempted. But this courting business I know nothing about you see. I could not think of putting on a dicky every Sunday night and sitting up straight till mid- night. No, no. That would be paying too dearly for a thing in advance.' !Well, Jonas, I think on the whole that you are too lazy to live, if the truth was known,' said Otis, as.he turned on his heels to go. 'You do eh Well, stop a moment. I am up for a bargain. Come show me one of these nice girls who you seem to think are so plenty, 'Go and find them yourself, as other men.do. - If you are pleased to visit my family, you . will have the opportunity ofseeing a great many young "Isi• dies. :We have alreat deal of company. 1 will introduce you to my sister, for one, and she will in troduce you traothers t and--' 'Enough. I will spend the evening with you this very night,' • • • 'Thank you. I shall be very glad to see you. The friends parted, and Jonas' thick head was full of new-ideas throughout the day. At six o'clock he stood before his.mirror—tt tri angular ,piece of broken looking glass—adjusting his drese.tor the anticipated visit. He has already tried on several dickies, bad, parted his hair in four different lines, besides having scraped nearly all the enamel from his tobacco-stained teeth, and cutting his nails down to the 'quick.' The 'cut' of his gar ments was rather old fashioned, to be sure, but by letting his.pants down a little and buttoning his coat in front, to cover the vacabcies that were left between them and his very'short vest, he fancied himself quite a dandy. By exercising more pa tience and perseverance than he had ever had oc casion for before in his life, he was armed and equip ped at hall past seven o'clock, and on his way to his friend, Otis Barker. Fortunately for his diffidence and awkwardness in company, there were none but the members of the family present, and he was introduced to Mrs. and Miss Barker, and enjoyed a very pleasant chat with them during the evening. Every movement of the young lady was watched by the bachelor, and before the evening was spent, he made up his mind to seek no farther for a wile, provided the charming Mtds C. could by any means be induced to be made the wife of Jonas Jenks. She was just the model, just the style of beauty . that he most admired.: She was pleasing in con versation, free and graceful in her manners, and seemed to he in every way suited .to make up for the sad deficiency of those qualifications in himself That was the woman for him, thought Jonas, as he bade them 'good night,' at ten, with a hearty promise that he would certainly call again soon. Had the night not been very dark, it would no doubt have been a cause of much querying and wonder to have seen the clumsy old bacbelor trip ping along upon the toes of his boots, and spring ing across the gutters with the agility of a 'lark' but no one saw Jonas return to his .lonesome home He was blessed with pleasant dreams - for the two succeeding nights, and ,on the third evening he again found himself in the society of his admired. At the close of his second visit, he went home even happier than from the first; for in addition to his increasing admiration of the lady—Miss Barker—he felt assu red by her evident exertions to entertain him pleas antly, that his feelings werereciprocated. Mrs. Bar ker was no less attentive, and he could not but be lieve that his motives were anticipated with pleas. ure to all concerned. One unfortunate circumstance, however,--to which parties were as yet strangers—must be named before going farther with the courtship. Owing partly to Mr. Barker's carelessness in introducing the ladies as his wife and sisters, merely; and part ly to the bachelor's confusion in confronting two women at a time, he had most unwittingly mista ken one for the other I As there appeared to be but little difference in their ages, and each seemed alike at home and equally familiar with the bus band and brother, it would have been no easy mat ter for a stranger, at first acquaintance, to distin guish between them,—they - had the habit, too, of addressing each other by their Christian names, ar.d the titles of Mrs. and Miss were not used for once in his presence. - The truth was, Jonas had been too deeply smit ten with Mrs. Barker, who was rather the prettiest of the two, and who not suspecting the bachelor's error, strove with unusual interest to make matters agreeable in behalf of her sister-in-law. Week after week passed away, during which time Jonas performed penance for his past negli gence by 'dressing up' every Sunday night, and en deavoring to make himself agreeable to the ladies; and when two months had elapsed, he had formed a 'never-to-be-got-over' attachment for Mrs. Barker. It was a cruel deception, but no one to blame, for no one knew of it. Mrs. Barker noticed that he often addressed her as Miss 8., but knowing him to be rather illiterate, and unskilled in the rules of etiquette,she thought it might be a slip of the tongue merely, and considered it unlady-like to correct him. Jonas began to feel that suspense was unpleasant and set his wits at work to frame a proposal to his lady-love. At every previous visit, it had happened that the family were all present, and no opportu nity had presented when be might Tree his mind.' This last time, however, be was more fortunate. Mrs. Barker was alone;and informed him that his Otis and sister had gone out to make a call, but Would soon return. Jonas did express much sor row at their absence, but smiled pleasantly as he seated himself very near Mrs. Barker, and remark. ed that she had no'fault to find with his company. Now was his time, he thought, but how was it to be done ? At first he thought best to open the subject abruptly, and have it over at once; but Mrs B. kept on talking and chatting, and his embarras ment increased as he momentarily expected the re turn of Otis and hie sister, which would oblige him to go home again without settling the question. At length he summoned all the courage of an ardent lover, and commenced with. 'My dear madam, forgive me for speaking my mind frankly, when I assure you that the happiest hours of my life have been spent in your society.' 'Thank you, sir, for the 'compliment,' said Mrs. B. 'lt gives me pleasure to see you in society. I am confident that you will enjoy life much better than in the retirement and solitude which you have so long suffered. Otis feels a deep interest in you, and as his Iriend, I shall always be pleased to enter tain you to the best of my abilities.' 'Ah hem I Thank you,' blundered out the bach elor. am persuaded that a bachelor's life is not the happiest in the world, and 'if it is not too late, I prOpose to amend on the system.' 'Ah—indeed! Then you think of taking a wife. I congratulate you on the happiness. May I ask who is to be the honored lady ?' 'That is more than I know, my dear madam; but allow me to say that I have never met with one whose charms inspired me with such esteem; such love, such irresistible fascinatton as yourself! All I have, and am, and ever bope to be, I lay at your feet! May I have the unspeakable flicity, ot look ing upon you as my future wife?' This was Jonas"niaiden speech,' and he felt re lieved of a ponderous load when he 'paused for a reply,' and wiped the perspiration from his forehead! Mrs. B. looked confounded for an instant,then spring ing to her feet, she exclaimed: 'Me your wife? Your all at my feet! Mr. Jenks explain yourself!' Mr. Barker, who was just entering the door, over keard only the last exclamation of Mrs. B. 'What is the matter?' said he rushing into the room, and gazing alternately at his wife (who, lean ed against the wall, looking like a maniac,) and at his friend Jonas, who sat on the edge of his chair, his hands upon his knees, and his mouth and eyes as aside open as it he had 'just been shaken out of a visit from the nightmare! 'What doei this mean?' again enquired Mr. Bar ker with earnestness. 'Mean? Mean sill You know' as 'well as I do,' said the astoriishelibaelieldr; "Toth: sister appears to have taktin a Sudden fright at SOMething—some thing-I-I don't know' what!' 'My sister?

C A TTY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY. MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1853. My Wife's Nightcap. Mr. —L.. -, who does not live more than a mile from the post office in this city, met some 'north ern men with southern principles,' the other even ing, and in extending to them the hospitalities of the Crescent City, visited so many of otir principal saloons and 'marble halls,' imbibing spiritual con solation as the journeyed, that when he left them at their hotel at the midnight hour,he felt, decided. ly felt, that he 'had a brick in his hat.' Now he had a Wife, an amiable, accomplished and beantitul lady, who loves him devotedly, but she finds one fault with hitn,.L-and that is, his too frequent visits to the places where these 'bricks' are obtained. After leaving his friends, Mr. paused a mo ment, took his bearings, and having shaped a course on the principle that continual angles meet, made sail for home. In due course of time he arrived there, and was not very much astonished, but rather frightened, to find his worthy lady sitting up for him. She always does. _She smiled when he came in. That also she always does. 'How are you, dear E 'she said. 'You stayed out so late that I feared you had taken sick.' 'Hic—ain't sick, wife; b-but don't you think. I'm a little might 1' 'A very little, perhaps, my dear, but that is noth ing—you have so many friend., as you say, you must join them in a glass once in a while.' 'Wife, you're too good—the truth is, I am d-drunk ' 'Oh, no indeed, my dear--Pm sure that even an other glass won't hurt you. Now suppose you take a glass of Scotch Ale with me, just as a night-cap, my dear?' 'You are too kind, my dear, by hall; I know I'm d-drunk.' 'Oh no, only a julep too much, love, th Yes, ju-juleps! McMasters makes such sttff'uns.' 'Well, take a glass of ale at any rate; it cannot hurt you, dear; I want one myself, before I retire.' The lady hastened to open a bottle, and as she placed two tumblers before her on the sideboard, she put in one a very powerful emetic. Filling the glass with the foaming ale, she handed that one with a bewitching smile to her husband. Suspicion came cloudily upon his mind. She had never before been so kind when he was drunk. He looked at the glass, raised it to his lips—then hesitated. 'Dear, won't you just taste mine to make it sweet er said he. 'Certairily, love,' replied the lady, taking a mouth ful, which she was very careful not-to swallow. Suspicion vanished, and so did the ale, emetic and all, down the throat of the satisfied husband. After spitting out the taste, the lady finished her glass, but seemed in no hurry to retire. She fixed a foot tub of water before an easy chair, as if she intended to bathe her beautiful little feet. But small as were those feet, there was not enough of water in the tub to cover them. The husband began to feel, and he wanted to retire. `Wait only a few moments, dear,' said his loving spouse, want to read the news in this afternoon's Delta. I found it in your pocket.' A few moments more elapsed, and then—Oh, ye gods, and Dan o' the Lake—what a time! The husband was placed in the easy chair. He began to understand why the tub was there; he soon learn ed what ailed. Suffice it to say, that when he arose from that chair, the brick bad left his hat. It has'nt been there since. He says hell never drink another julep; be can't bear Scotch ale, but is •death on lem onade.' He loves his wile better than ever.—N. 0. Delta. JUNCTION OF TOE Two OCEANS.—The comple tion of the Pacific Railroad on any of the lines that have been proposed cannot do away with the ne cessity for water communication between the two oceans, to accommodate thebeavy tradefromeastern Asia and the islands in the Pacific ocean. Doctor Black, of Kentucky, who has resided in London for some years, succeeded in enlisting Sir Charles Fox, the eminent and distinguished engineer,, in the scheme of cutting through the Isthmus of Darien. Doctor Black and Sir Charles Fox agreed to have a thorough investigation made of the Isthmus of Darien, and that every precaution should be taken to impart American nationality to the enterprise. To that end the arrangement was made by which the management of all proceedings should be placed in the hands of Doctor Black—that one-half of the directory should consist of American citizens, and that one-half of the stock should be open to Amer ican subscription. In order to carry out the idea of giving American nationality to the work, an ap plication has been made to the Secretary of the Navy to authorize a survey of the Isthmus. That application has been, as we learn, favorably consid ered, and Lieut. Isaac G. Strain has been selected as the person to command the detachment from the home squadron to make the survey. Its object is, if we are rightly informed to give nationality to the enterprise, and authenticity to its results. The Isthmus has already been examined by Dr. Black's agents. Mr. Lionel Gisbourne and Mr. Forde, civil engineers, were sent there, and made a reconnois sance. They landed at port Escosais, an old Scotch settlement, long since abandoned. Then they cross : ed the coast ridge of the Cordilleras, when . they were taken by the Indians, and conducted down the Caledonia river to Caledonia bay, on the Cafribbean sea. After being released, they went to Panama, and thence to the Gulf of San Miguel; on the Pa cific coast, and recommenced their reconnoissance from the west, discovering that the Savana River empties into the Gulf of San Miguel, a safe and ca pacious harbor, and is navigable for the largest ves sels for seven miles; having for that distance thirty six feet water at low tide. The point at which the navigathin of the Savona ceases is but thirty-three miles from Caledohia bay on the Atlantic coast The summit range between the• two oceans is only one hundred and fifty feet high, t ith a narrow basa; and the eastern coast ridge of the Cordilleras is en tirely cut through by the Caledoniaa river. With this information, it is proposed to make a canal or rather to open a strait from the Savana river to Caledonia bay, thirty feet deep and one hundred and sixty feet wide, without locks, so that the lar gest vessel may go through, passing each way.— This is a great undertaking. Nothing but a strait will answer. A canal, with locks, would no more serve the purposes of commerce than a railroad.— But we understand that there will be no difficulty as to the requisite means. Indeed, the connection of Sir Charles Fox with the enterprise gives it all needful stability. An agent is now in China to pro cure labor in such quantity that the whole line of improvement may be proCeeded with at the same time under the direction of the provisional organi ; zation which has been made preparatory to the fi nal-and permanent officers.— Washington Sentinel.

But there is a mistake, often committed, in regard to this matter. It is that of attributing the varigated ap pearance of an autumnal forest to frosts. A young lady said to the writer a few days ago, ' The frost begins to turn the leaves.' A little less than a year ago, in passing amidst the splendid scenery --if the Green Mountains, between Pittsfield and Spring field, where each hill top seemed like a grand ho quet of flowers, a gentlemen said, The work of frost.' A visitor to the Wyoming Lead Mines, Pennsylvania, has given the following passage: The varied trees of the forest, touched by the frosty fingers of death, were changing their comm tenances before passing away. There was stand ing one clothed in scarlet, every leaf as bright and red from its crown to the ground as if it had been on fire; another was clad in a vesture of gold, and yet another of purple, and these were mingled with evergreens and parti-colored trees, making a strange hued and surpassingly bequtiful panorama, such as the eye took in with new and constantly increas ing delight.' The description itself is beautiful as well as the grand scene it sets before us. Bat the mistake, as above signified, is in attributing this beauty, this variegated appearance to frost. It is the ripening of the leaves, that give the crimson, golden and other hues, as the blush of the peach, the crimson of the plum, the golden appearance of the apple, and not the result of frost, bnt the ripeninr , ' of the fruit. The frosty fingers are indeed to those deli cate classes of vegitation,lfingers of death.' At their touch all this beauty, alike in fruit and leaf, and flower, disappears.—Puritan , Recorder. The most generally received opinion among nat ralists in relation to the change of color in the fo liage of our forest trees, is that it is caused by the coldness of the atmosphere -producing a sluggish circulation of sap. Frost is not a necessary ele ment in producing the change. In warm climates trees retain their foliage-from year to year, and un dergo no ripening process—and nothing resembling the varied hues of an American frost in autumn, is ever witnessed in Europe.—Boston Journal. 1.1:7' Harry Erskine, of facetious memory, was retained for a female named Tickle, against whom an action bad been brought. On the trial, he com menced his address to the court thus: 'Tickle, my client, the defendant, my lord.' The audience amu sed with the oddity of the speeeh, were almost driven into hysterics by the judge replyin —'Tickle .e her yourself, Harry ; you a. as well abl to do it as I.'

DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col leges of this United States and the greater part of whose life •has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect ed some of the most. astonishing cures that were ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head-when asleep,great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended, sotnetitnes, with de rangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKE ''ARI ICULAR NOTICE Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either busines or society. These are some of the sad and melancholy ef fects produced by early habits of youth, viz': Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal- pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita bility, Derangement of the - Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion of ideas, ,Depression of. Spirits, Evil of Forebo ding, Aversion of Society, Sell Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c. 'are some of the evils pro 4luced. NERVOUS DEBILITY Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and premature decay generally arises from the destruct ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to the healthful existence of mane and it is the young who are the most apt to become its Victims from n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject tncrnselves.• Parents and Guardians are often 'tile led with respect to the cause or source of disease in their sons and wards. Alas! how often do they ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame, Palpitation of the flea.,, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex istence thousands who might have been of use to their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna ment to society. WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS immediately cured and full vigor restored. Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided youths been made, who have been suddenly resto red to health from the devastations of those terrific maladies which result from indiscretion. Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, shoula reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro' life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happiness of another be comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica cy prevent you, but apply immediately. He who places himself under the care of Dr JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill as a Physician TO STRANGERS The many thousands cured at this institution within the last ten years, and the numerous im portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J., witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma• ny other persons, notices of which have appeared again and again before the public, is a sufficient guarantee that the afflicted will finch' sknful and honorable physician. N. B.—Shun the numerous pretenders who call themselves Physicians, and apply to DR.JOHN STON. Be not enticed front this office.
