ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE. TOAV-AJNTIXA.: Thursday Morning, November 17,1859. Jstltdtb THE HUSKERS. ■T JOBS O. WHITTLER. Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Heap high the golden corn ! So richer gift has Autumn poured From out her lavish horn. Let other lands exulting glean The apple from the pine. The orange front the glossy green. The cluster from the vine : We better love the hardy gift Our rugged vales bestow ; To cheer us when the storm shall drift Our harvest fields with snow. When spring-time came with flower and bud, And grassy green, and young And merry bob'links, in the wood, I ike mad musicians sung, We dropped the seed o'erhitl and plain, Beneath the sun of May. And frightened from our sprouting grain The robber crows away. Ail through the long bright days of June, Its leaves grew thin and fair. And waves in hot mid-summer's noon Its soft and yellow hair. And now, when Autumn's moonlit eves, Its harvest time has come. We pluck away the frosted leaves, And bear the treasures home. There, richer than the fabled gift Of golden showers of old, Fair hands the broken grain shall sift, And knead its rneai of gold. Let vapid idlers 101 l in silk Around their costly board— Give us the bowl of mush and milk, By hoiuespun beauty poured. Where'er the wide old kitchen hearth Sends up its smoky curls, Who will not thank the kindly earth. And bless our corn-fed girls. l>et earth withhold her goodly root. Let mildew blight the rye. Give to the worm the orchard's fruit, The wheat field to the fly. But let the good old crop adorn The hills our fathers trod : Still let us for His golden corn .-*nd up our thanks to God! [For the Reporter.] " Democratic Thunder." The Democracy have at last got " some thunder." The mountain is laboring, and will bring forth its accustomed mouse, unless there be a re-action and the monse tnrn riut to be a genuine Democratic Border ltuffian. John Brown in his foolish attempt at insurrection, has raised a little cloud for Democracy which it has been wishing for and trying to got up, for a long time. The machine is worked with the usual vigor—show of principle and truth fulness—that characterize the work of the " old feilow " who tends the Democratic en gine. But with all the snorting, puffing, blow ing and usnal Democratic scare-crowing and U uioa saving of his cloven footed tinjcsly, us no go. The cloud is too small to get much thunder out of —with all the steam let on. — The attempt reminds me of an anecdote o: au old fellow, whose great forte in summer tuue, was to have a thunder-shower come up, so he could not work at hay, and thus get a plny spell. lie was therefore intent on watching every thnndcr clond that came np, as ranch as the Democracy of the present day, are intent iu watching every little abolition speck that appears within the horizon of Slavery. One day the old fellow came ont from his dinner, and heart! a slight rumbling sound ike t'mil der, went round the corner of the house, look ed up at the sky, discovered but a small clond, and broke out in the following manner : "\\ a.i', if I could'nt thunder out of a bigger cloud than that, I wouldn't thunder at ail." There is about as much sense ia that, as in the at tempt of the Democratic party to make politi cal capital out of the recent affair at Harper's Ferry. With all of the handling of Brown papers they fail to implicate, in truth, any Republican, in the attempted iusnrrection. — The fact that the Republican party have al ways taken decided grounds against any posi tive interference with slavery in the States where it exists by local law. ought to satisfy every homest man as to their real position.— There is, however, a moral in the affair* at Harper a Ferry, the Democratic party might well profit by. If Slavery be so dangerous a machine that it is ready to explode at the slightest touch, and endanger the peace and prosperity of a great country like ours, why seek to perpetuate it ? Why claim the right for it to spread over all our free territory ? Why be continually striving by fair means or foul [and especially the latter) to spread it over every foot of free-soil, that may by pos sibility be made, pecuniarily and politically, available for it ? Why strain every nerve to get Cuba, Mexico, and a!! the available -lave territory adjacent to us, if Slavery be so read iiy aet oo fire and biowu up by every little match of a mad man, who may have sworn vengeance against its many iniquities ? These are grave questions, which the people renuire the Democratic party to answer satisfactorily, | before they will release it from the fearful re ! spoosibility it has tukeu upon itself. The peo ple are determined to know if our government is to become but a mere machine to work out the behests of Slavery. Before the Democ racy make too much noise out of the little thunder cloud at Harper's Ferry, let tliern in quire if it be no crime to conspire against free dom ? Was it no crime to organize Blue i Ledges, with the avowed object of treason, with a Democratic President of the United States Senate at the head, get together an army of ruffians, take possession of the gov erument Arsenal, seize the arms of warfare thereof, march into a free territory, drive peace ful citizens from the polls, seize ballot-boxes and destroy them, mnrder those citizen-, out rage the persous of their wives and daughters, pillage their property, burudown their houses, and all because those citizens loved freedom better than slavery. No Republican ju-tiGes the fool-hardy actiou of John Brown and ids j followers, but while we are condemning him, I let us look a little to the cause of his madness What power was it that caused the murder of his sons, burned down his home, and drove him ; into his acts of madness ? The same power that committed the- great catalogue cf crimes against Kansas, which have blaekeued our national honor for the test five years, and made Democracy a by-word and reproach. The same power (hat gets up filibustering expedi tions, violating our neutrality laws, going through with a luock trial of the effeudtrs and always acquitting them. The same power that advocates the re opening of the African Slave Trade. The same power that strikes dowu an honored Senator in his place in the recnate ! chamber, and murders another Senator on its chosen fitbl of honor. Let the Democracy ponder these things well, before they grind too much noise out of their little thuud r. FORMAV.

BY I'ROFESSOK WILSON. : Gilbert Ainslie was a poor man ; and he - had been a poor man all the days of his life, . which were not tew, fur his thin hair was now waxing gray. He bad been boru and bred on the small moorland farm which he now occu ' j pied ; and he hoped to die there, as his father ' ' and grandfather had done before him, leaving I a family just above the more bitter wants of the world. Labor, hard aud unremitting, bad been his lot in life ; but though sometimes severely tried, he had never repined; and through all the mist and gloom, and even the ; storms that had assailed him, he had lived on from year to year in that calm and resigned contentment which unconsciously cheers the hearthstone of the blameless poor. With his own hands he had ploughed, reaped, and sowed hi* often scanty harvest, assisted, as they grew i up, by three sons, who, even in boyhood, were happy to work along with their latiier in the field. Out of door or iu. Gilbert Ainslie was j never idle. The spade, the shears, the plough shaft, the sickle, aud the flail, ui! came readily to hands that grasped them well; and not a morsel of food was eaten under his roof, or a garment wore there, that was not honestly, severely, nobly earned. Gilbert Aim-lie was a slave, but it was fur them he loved with a sober and deep aflVetiou. The thraldom nn- ! der which he lived, God had imposed, and it only served to give his character a shade of si lent gravity, but not austere; to make his smiles fewer, Imt more heartfelt ; to claim his sonl at grace before and after meals ; and to kindle it iu the morning and evening prayer. Tuere is no need to tell the character of the j wife of ,-ucha man. Meek and thoughtful, yet gladsome and gay withal, her heaven was in her house ; and the gentler and weaker hands helped to bar the door against want. Ot ten children that had beeu boru to them, they had lost three : and as they had clothed, fed and educated theui respectably, so did they give them who died a respectable funeral. The living did not grudge to give op, for a while, some of their daily comforts for the sake of the dead ; and bought with the little snots which their industry had saved, decent mourn ing, worn on the Sabbath, and then carefully ! laid by. Of the seven that survived, two sons were farm-servants in the neighborhood, while three daughters and two sons remained at hoig?, groyviug up a small, happy, hard working household. Many cottages are there in Scotland i Moss side, and many such humble and virtuous cottagers ns were now beneath its roof of straw. The eye of the pa-sing traveller may m irk them, or mark them not, but they stand peacefully iu thousands over ail the land ; aud most beautiful do they make it, through all its wide valleys and narrow glens—its low holms, encircled by the rocky walls of --ortre noi nv > burn —its gtetu mounts, Hater! with their lit tle crowning groves of plau.-tree-—its yellow com-li' ds —its bare pastoral hdi sides, aud .J! iita.'.i.y motts, on v, ..u-e tack ! *.. ;.i de i shilling, or concealeq, gfades of excessive ver dure. inhabited hv flowers, and v;< : fed oidv bv the far-hying bies.

L'tter poverty often kills the affections ; but a deep, constant, and common feeling of this world's hardships, and an equal participation in all those struggles by which they may be i softened, unite husband aud wife, parent and child, brothers and sister, iu thoughtful and ! subdued tenderness, making them happy in deed, while the circle round the fire is unbro ken, and yet preparing them everv dav to bear the separation, when some one or other is taken slowly or suddenly away. Their *ouls are not moved by fits and starts, although Indeed, nature will sometimes wrestle with ne oeity ; and there is a wise moderation both in the jov and the grief of the intelligent poor, which keep lasting trouble away from their arthly lot, and prepares them silently aud unconsciously for Heaven. *' Do you tliyik the child is dying?'" said Gilbert with a calm voice to the surgeon, who on his wearied horse, had just arrived from another sick-bed, over the misty range of hills ; ami had been looking steadfastly for some minutes on the little patient. The hu mane man krtew the family well in the midst of whom he was standing, and replied— " While there is life there is hope ; but mv pretty little Margaret is, I fear, iu the last ex tremity." There was no loud lamentation at these words ; all had before known,though thev would not confess it to themselves, wha. thev now were told ; and though the certainty that was iu the words of the skilful man, made their hearts beat for a while with sicker throb bing?, made their pale faces even paler, and brought out from some eyes a gush of tears : yet death had been before in this house, and iu this ca*e he came, as he always docs, in awe, hot not in terror. There were wander ing, and wavering and dreamy delirious phan tasies in the brain of the innocent child ; but th • few words she indistinctly uttered were affecting, not rendring to the heart, for itwas plain that she thought herself herding her sheep i i the green silent pastures, and sitting wrapped in her plaid upon the lawn and sunny side of the Birk-knowe.

One of the daughters went forth with the pail to im.k e cow, as'J another b g..u to x t out the i. le in the middle . f the f! r for supper, covering it with a whole cloth. Gilbert viewed the usual household arrangements with a solemn and uutroubled eye ; and fhere were almost , the taint light of a grat-ful -mile on hi-ohecek a-be said to the worthy surgeon, "You will partake of our fare after your day's trouble aud toil of humanity.''

" What is that?" t said the old man to his eldest daughter, "what s is that you are layiug on the shelf?"' She n could scarcely reply that it was a riband and e an ivory comb she had brought for little Mar j gnret, against the night of the dancing-school ] ball. And, at th"e words, the father could - not restrain a long deep, and bitter groan, at i. which the boy nearest :n age to his dying sister t ooked up weeping in his face, and letting the r tattered book of old ballads, which he had been ■ poring on but not reading, falloutof his bauds , - he rose from his seat, ami, going into his fnth . er's bosom, kissed him, and asked God to bless , him ; for the holy heart of the boy was moved within him ; and the old man as he embraced r him, felt that, in his innocence and simplicity, j he was indeed a comforter. " The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," said the old tnan ; ] "blessed be the name of the Lord." ) The outer door gently opened, and he,whose , presence had in former years brought peace f and resignation hitln-r, when their hearts bad . been tried, even as they now w. re tried, stood before them. On the night before the Sab- Lath. the minister of Aucliindown never left . Ins Manse, except as now, tu vi-it the sick and . dying bed. Scarcely could Gilbert reply to his first question about bis child, when the sur t gcon came from the bed-room, end said "Mar - graet seems lifted tip by (rod's hand above death r and tire grave ; I think she will recover She j has fallen asleep ; and when she wakes I hojje ,j —I believe—that the danger will be past,and . that your child wiil live." i 1 They were all prepared for death :now thev : were found unprepared for life. One wept i that had till then locked up all her tears with in her heart ; another pave a short palpitating - shriek : and the tender hearted Label,who had - nnrsed the child when it was a baby, fainted away. The youngest brother gave way to 1 1 gladsome smiles : and, calling ont his dog Hector, who used to sport with him and his little sister on the moor, he told the tidings to the dnmb irrational creature, whose eves, it is j certain, sparkled with a sort of jov. The clock, for some days, had been prevented from 1 striking the hours : but the silent finger.- point ; ed to the hoor of nine : and that, in the cot tage of Gilbert Aioselie, was the stated hour ,j of family worship. li;s own honored minister took the book : He waled n portion with judicious rare : .And. let c* worship lod. he w;th solemn air.
