It is ft fair autumnal d.iy,
The ground is stretrn with yellow leaves ;
ir. o niapie stems gienm onro and gray,
Tho grain is bound in golden sheaves ;
r I Lenr tho speckled ((uuils
Ipe shrill v 'uiid tho stublilo drv.

And muffled heats from busy flails
Within the barn near by.
The latest roses now are (load,
Thoir petals sonttered far anil wide,
lite suiuuo berrios, riouly red,
Bedeck the lnne on cither side ;
A dreamy e.ilm is in tha air
A dreamy echo on tbo soa ;
Ah, nover wis a day moro fnir
Than this, which blesses me !
I soo the shocks of ripened corn
The yellow mosses on tho roof,
Tlio diamond dew-drops of the morn,
That string with gems the spider's woof;
An aiure haie i.i hanging low
About tho outline of tho hill,
Anil chanting sen-fowls southward go
From ninrehcs, flats and kills.
Tor many years tho autumn brought
A solemn sadness to my soul
Xt sombred e'en my liglitost thought,
And on my gayest moments stole ;
'Twas snd, yel swoot a strnngo alloy
Of hope and sorrow Intertwined
This autumn brings mo only joy,
No shadow haunts my uiiud.
And why is this ? The dead loovos full
TliO hlo(.tnS Willipr hi nf r..t
I And winter eomos, with snowy pall
in wrnp ino onrtn so enni ana cold ;
The ica iowl, strung athwart the sky,
Still chant their plaintive monotone
And why, when leave? and ble'joms die,
Should I feel joy alone '.
Oil. nek mo not I must not toll ;

A fairy wovo a majio spell
Arnund mo, when decayed the roo ;
Two gifts did fading summer bring
Two fyinbols of unlading blirs
I pon my finger cLw.h n ring,
I pon my lips a kiss.
MISCELLANEOUS.
VJ hat IiiTonlion Ilan lnr wilhiu
si 4c:i'i-iitioii.
It is not so mnny yenra ago since tlie lcail
in Bhip-buiklcrs mtiiutained that iron ships
could not swim. Wlicn tlicy bad avi um it
was argucu that tUcy could not bold to
gether, although wo now know that iron
ships may be made of sizes and proportions
that could never be repeated in wood, as,
lor example, the Great Knstern, C30 fret
long, and other ships 400 feet long, and of a
beum only one eleventh of their length.
Next it was contended that iron shipa would
foul to such an extent as to prevent their
being kept going, and it is but a verv few
years since iron war ships wcro reckoned as
wuony impracticable. There were no argu
ments against water-light litilkhe.ids.becaiite
Micro could be none beyond these that thev
cost something and weighed something;
but it was a long time before they came
into general use. Iron mast9 were objected
to because they could not. as it was said, be
cut away, as if it was always necessary to
'"""'S iwny masts, but a l!ang0 joint,
with bolts and nuts nenr the deck. r.mnfl
this objection. Iron standing rigging came
in at last, and so did topsails that could be
reefed from tho deck just as the sails of
windmills are reefed from the mill house.
Anchors, too, of far greater lioldiug power
tor a given weight are now common, and we
have boat-loweiing gear which will disen
gage both ends of a bout Bt the same instant
ol time. Onco it wag reckoned impossible
to apply steam to the propulsion of ships,
aud, long afterwards, it was thought unliko
ly that screws could ever compete with pad-
lu steamship machinery, too, it was the
opinion only a few years ngo that only glow
tngiuu speeds and spur gearing, or very
coarse pitched screws, could ever answer.
It i3 enough to cay that this is uot tho opin
ion now. Even, with high rpceds of screw
engines it was long before any one thought
it worth whilo to upply counter weights,
patented, wc may as well say, by Mr. Cramp
ton, ia 1S17, six years before they were used
by 1'tnn or Mr. Dourue.
The screw was once on the vtrgo of dis
honorable dismissal, and all for tha want of
Mr. I'cnn's wood bearings, the least likely,
upotvaa a priori view, to withstand wear,
and yet they constitute oc of the greatest
improvements ever mode in steamship ma
chinery, The same unlikely material, wood,
now serves as the best fur packing the many
thousand joiutc J service condensers. High
speed screw engines could uot, it was once
believed, work their air pumps at full stroke
from the piston, yet wo have now double
acting pumps ot large forco worked at the
rutu of 00, 75 nnd even 106 doublo strokes
per minute, and the unlikely material, India
rubber, serves perfectly for tho valves. Even
the valuo nf the marine engine governors has
beeu at last discovered.
So with railways. Wo have been long
familiar with them, yet it was but very lately
that clever engineers argued that they could
never bo worked unJerground with frequent
trains as for metropolitan tralllc. It is hardly
longer sinco it was maintained that there
was no hope for coal burning locomotives.
Aud who would admit, a few years ago, that
coutinuous biakes, mechanically put on,
could bo worked on railway trains, or that
mj.il bags could be caught at forty tuHes an
hour, or that gas could be introduced in
railway trains, or that communication be
tween passengers aud guards was both prac
ticable and allowable, or that sleeping car
riage could be made both comfortable and
profitable, or that signals could be so arrang
ed, as by Anderson's plan, made by Yardley,
of Manchester, that mistakes were uo longer
possible. And as for locomotive and car
riage details, how long were balanced alido
valves tho jjnii fatui of locomotive engi
neers ; Low long did it take to understand
that liauisbottoin's mode of picking up
water, jubt as it is w anted, is cheaper than
carry iug it about eight or ten tons at a time,
with a tea or twclvo ton lender to hold it ;
how long to learn that condensed steam
would certainly displace oil in the gravity
or displacement lubricator, and how loDg
will it take tolearn that axle boxes lubricated
with oil cause less friction than the dirty,
troublesome and extravagant grease pots
now in use t It is only now that engineers
are learning that locomotives can take a
load up inclines of 1 in 10, and that without
a mid-rail, and that bogle rolling stock is
the easiest and safest of all. What a world
of irritation it has taken to convince engi
neers that Richard's indicator is the only
one fit to be used for high, tpeeds, even up
to four hundred and fifty revolutions per
minute ; how long to instil into the minds
of ewners of steam power that Prony's fric
tion brake, as improved by Appold, is the
only true measure of power, as developed or
consumed by machines having a circular
motion I By-and-by the Canadian railway
managers tnd engineers will be believed

ami wo shall use chillod cast iron instead of
wrought iron wheels. It was ouly a few
years ago that the "wash" along the banks
was reckoned a fatal obs'.nclo to the employ,
mctit nl Rtcam power on canals.
The IavvHiiil .Maimer oi'lhn Blond.
All of us have ideas moro or lc3S correct,
in regard to tho law which regulates our use
of the highways; and at nr.y rate good sense
and good nature are usually very safe guides.
A few words on tho subject, however, may
not be amiss.
It is commonly said that every one lias a
right to half the road. This is practically
true, and comes about in this wise : You
and I meet npnn tho roatl our legal rights
lire exactly equal, and both have a right to
go our several ways without obstruction, bo,
popularly, wc iny I own half and you half.
The law steps in to facilitate matters, nnd
directs each to turn towards his right hand.
This is trno whatever the lond or the team ;
for if ono can drive such n team that another
can pass him but with didiculty or at all,
then their rights nre no longer equal. This
point becomes very important in winter, for
it is no joke to turn your horse nnd nil into
the deep snow while your neighbor goes
smoothly along in the beaten path. No
one has n right so to lond his team as not to
bo able to give up half the track to whoever
demands it.
A footman may chonso the pari which
plea'es him or any portion of his right hand
half of the way, and the team must yield it
to lum. 1 Ins is clearly so in winter, and uo
man is obliged to stop into Iho snow for one
or two horses. Thia is tho law and the court
awards it.
Kow for the manners of tho road, which,
in Rome inslanci.'s,vary from tho law thereof.
The first requirement of the road manners
is good nature and an accommodating spirit.
Do to others as you would have them do to
you Always bo willing to yield more than
half tho spaco, then you will lie pretty sure
to be equally well treated. They who exact
inches will have inches exacted of them. If
your neighbor has a heavy load, consult his
convenience as far as possible; you may
sometimes bo loaded. It has become a prac
tical rule of cotirtery to turn for heavy teams.
i especially in v. inter, nnd when the ronds arc
Heavy. luit rcmemticrit was a lavor, not
your riqht, and you have a reciprocal duty
to perform, and one which, I am sorry to
observe, is not always borne in mind.
One word in relation to teams going the
same way, in which caso many seem to think
there is neither law nor manners. When a
team comes up behind you, that team has a
right to a reasonable space and opportunity
to pass on in fact to half the road for that
purpose nnd your obalructing him in his
lawful desire is both bad manners and bad
law. If your load is heavy, do tho best you
cnn. In most cases the very least that can
be asked is that you should stop. This is
particularly so in the winter, when it is a
heavy tax on n team to force it into a trot in
deep snow, or deep mud, or frozen and deep
ruts made necessary by your continuing to
move on. Remember tho good old aphorism,
which can be so opportunely applied here
"Wheel grease is a great lubricator, but good
manners a vastly greater one."

A few evenings since a young gentleman
made a purchase of one of these curious tell
tale machines, and repaired to the residence
of a young lady to whom ho was paying his
addresses, with the hope that plauchtttc
would reveal to him what he had failed, for
want of courage, to obtain fram his fair
dulcinea. After f : riving ut tho house with
the little joker c. iic. alcd, and spending a
few moments in L i i o parlor in ordinary
commonplact.3 with the young lady who
had so drawn upon his warm affections, he
managed to iutrodurc plancbette, and stated
that ho had ono with him, und if the young
lady had no objections, they would while
irtuy a -',.ort time iu testing tho powers of
tho invisible. Accordingly, they arranged
themselves at the table, and after spending
some length of time in serious effort, they
succeeded in receiving answers that satislicd
their minds that planchette was but toe well
acquainted with the affairs of tho world, and
what lies in the future. Emboldened with
success, the lady propounded, mentally,
sundry questions, and prompt answers were
returned.
Tho sequel to this interview wo give to
our readers, as related to us by a female
friend to whom it had been confided, giving
the questions and responses in the order iu
which they occurred. As a matter of course,
tho mauipulatnr being a young lady, her
first inquiry was: "Shull I ever get married J"
"Yes," promptly came from planchette.
"When ?" "Two year.." "To whom ?"
"3 11 ." Thia was entirely satis
factory, as it included both tho parties
present, was the consummation both devoutly
wished, except a-t to time, which appeared
to be unreasonably delayed.' "Shall we be
happy ?" "Perfectly." Kow followed a ques
tion to which the youug lady desired a faith
ful solution, as it appeared to her tho con
summation of earthly bliss. "Shall we havo
children ?" "Yes." "Girls and boys ?"
'Certainly." "How many 1" The answer to
this the young lad; was anxious to note
carefully, as much depended upon the rc.ult.
I'lanchetto was deliberative, evincing no
haste, desirous of making no miatake iu the
figures, but wroto with considerable dis
tinctness, "S-e-v-e-u-t," when the jouDg
lady shoved tho instrument from her with
such forco that it fell upon the floor, aud it
was divided in halves by the full. Whether
planchette intended "seventeen" or "seven
ty" was not deterniiued, and we presume
time alone can discover tho entire answer.

Encouraok the Yol'no. If a young man
deserves praise, be sure you give it to him,
else you not only run a chance of driving
him from the right road by want of encour
agement, but deprive yourself of the happiest
privilege you will ever have of rewarding
his labor. For it is only the young who can
receive much reward from men's praise ; the
old, when they are great, get too far beyond
and above what you may think of them.
You may urge them with sympathy, and sur
round them with acclamation, but they will
doubt your pleasure and despise your praine.
You might have cheered them in their race
through the asphodel meadows of their
youth ; you might have brought the proud,
bright scarlet to their faces, if you had cried
but once, "Well done t" as they dashed up
the first goal of their early ambition. But
now their pleasure i in memory, and their
ambition l. in beavea. Tbey can be kind
to you, yoa can never more be kind to them.

1'lic Con I Trade,

The coal trado this fall is much more
active than nt ntiy time since the closo nf
tho war, nnn prices are very firm. 1 lie
amount of coal mined this year lias been
large, but tho demand for manufacturing
purposes at tho oast has greatly increased,
and rates are unexpectedly hipji. The ex
perience of this year is directly the reverse
of last year. Then prices opened in tho
spring at 7.25 to $7.50, and declined iu the
full to $4 75 to $5.
This spring prices opened at $3.25 to
5.50, and have advanced to $5,50 and $5.
75,witlin prospect of higher prices. Rail
road freights and tho increase of miners'
wages has hnd much to do with the increase
of rates. The railroad tolls are twenty-five
per cent, higher thun in the fipring, nnd
there has been a lurgo advance in coastwise
freights. Tho demand of Eastern manufac
tuicrs will preveut an accumulation of stock
before the Close of navigation. As soon ns
cold weather sots in it is probable that rates
will bo lower ulong tho lines of railroad
ending from the mines than at present ; and
it is supposed that in this city they will not
be higher during the winter than they now
ore. There will probably be another advance
at the auction sulo ot Scraoton coal next
week.
Tho amount of anthracite coal tuiucd this
year will bo about fourteen nnd a quarter
million tons, ornn increaso of seven or eight
huudred thousand tons over last year. It
was expected that the increase would bo ten
per cent., but it will not reach that amount.
The trade is cow iu n very healthy state,
and it is uot robable that the low prices of
last year w ill again bo reached. X. '.

The plaguo ofgiasahoppcrs is ayaiu sweep
ing over a largo pnrt of Texas. Tho follow
ing extract of a letter fi om John H. Cochrau,
dated at Belknap on the lGth ultimo, de
scribes the first appearance of the pest :
"Yesterday, the I5th, I saw a sight which
I hope no mortal man will ever see ngniu.
About three o'clock l M. I went to tho door,
and observing that tho sun shone but dimly,
I looked for the cause. I saw in the distant
west what I took to bo the smoke of an
immense fire, but on looking closer I per
ceived that it was uot smoke. What is it ?
was the Inquiry of every one, both old nnd
young. It continued to approach, and in
about two hours near enough to us to see
that it was a dense nias9 of moving matter.
Nearer aud nearer, dimmer tho sun shines
wo see what it is the Egyptian plague !
From the ground upward as far as tho eye
could sec, on account of their denseneas,
was an almost solid macs of living, moving
insects grasshoppers.
"All who saw the sight agree that for
every square inch of surface over which they
were flying, thcro must have been no less
than one bushel of grasshoppers. This body
of insects were moviug ahead of a northwest
wind. They were some three miles ide,
and as long each way as the horizon was to
us. This could bo seen before they approach
ed near enough to distinguish what they
wore ; after they reached us tho view was
very limited, on account of the denscness
of tho mass. They passed over in a north
east directions ; still wa have millions left
of tho first coming. This is no exaggera
tion." Want op Couragr. Sydney Smith, in
his work on Moral Philosophy, speaks in
this wise of what men loso for the want cf a
little brass, as it is termed :
"A great deal of talent is lost to the
world for tho want of a little courage. Every
day sends to their graves a number of ob
scure men who havo ouly remained in ob
scurity because the timidity has prevented
them from making a first effort, and who, if
they could only havo been induced to bcgiu,
would in nil probability have gouo great
lengths iu the career of famo. The fact is,
that in order to do anytbiug in this world
worth doing, wc must not stand shivering
on the bank thinking of the cold danger,
but jump iu and scramble through as well
as we can. It will not do to be perpetually
calculating risks and adjusting nice chances,
it all did very well before the Flood, when
a man could consult bis friends upon an in
tended publication for a hundred and fifty
years, aud then live to enjoy its succeas for
six or seven centuries afterwards ; but at
present a man waits and doubts, and hesi
tates, and consults hifc brother, and his uncle,
and his Grst cousin, and his particular
friends, till one day he finds he is bixty-fivo
year of age, that ho has lost so much time
iu consulting first cousins and particular
friends that he has no more time left to fol
low their advice. There is so littlo time
over-squeauiishness at present, tho opportu
nity slips away ; the very period of life
at which a man chooses to venture, if ever,
is so confined that it is no bad rulo to preach
up tho necessity, in such instances, of a little
violence done to the feeling, and of efforts
mado in defiance of strict and sober calcu
lation. Piiettt Good. A few afternoons since,

Every one who Beeps a jorso, cither for
profit or pleasure, in addition to keeping
him well, should study how to keep him
with an outlay of tho least money. Tho
fnrmer who has pleuty of food for his horso
should be uo exception. All that the far
mers grow, or should grow, can bs converted
iuto money ; there should bo no v, a9tc be
cause of plenty. If your present stock will
not consume all your stock food economically
fed, buy more stock to make a profit on the
balance. A farmer who understands Ii'ib
business will always kuow how to do this;
but never waste, although your farm and
granaries may be full to overflowing.
Grass, either green or cured, is the natural
food for the horse, and is essectiul to his
good health. Green is tho natural state,
therefore the best ; but -.vo cannot have it
green all the year round in this climate,
therefore wo should do tho next best thing
with it cook it steam it. Experience hBS
proven that hay when stearuGd has all it3
natural juices and virtues revived, and is
equal to grass, aud is nearly or quite as pa
latable to stock that even mouldy hay,
when stoutned, is just as palatablo to at'sck
as that which has been well cured and pre
served. For both convenience and economy
hay should bo cut beforo being steamed. -Hay
and straw cutters have been so improved
of late years, and competition has so reduced
prices, that there is no excuso for any man
who keeps a horto not to have one.
Straw has become too valuable to be used
for beddiug stock. Look at its price in tho .
market reports it is almost equal to the
best of hay. Then why waste it when you
can make so much more out of it by Bteam
ing and feeding it. It is not thus lout to the
manure heap it may be ia bulk, but not
in its fertilizing qualities. Stable floors will
have to be so constructed a: to do without
bedding. Farming is beiug reduced to a
science, end those who will shut their eyes to
tho light of improvement and plod on in the
wasteful ways of their fathers in feeding
stock, will not be able to compet? with thuir ,
moro enlightened neighbors w:.o keep up
with the times.
There is a great wastefulness iu feeding
wholo grain to horses, or any other stock.
It should not only be ground but steamed.
It should be mixed with cut hay or straw
and steamed together. This is uot theory
aloue ; it is based on experience carefully
tested and found that there is a gain of at
least fifty per cent.
Now if two tons of Lay or straw cut and
steamed aro equal to three tons uot thus
treated, aud two bushels of corn ground aud
steamed are equal to three bushels unground
aud raw, than every third ton and every
third bushel is saved by this process, which
will enable the furnier to keep one third
moro stock. Here is whoro the extra profit
comes in. Aui. Stock Journal.
Bi'CKwnKAT Cakes as Food. A French
savant has been recently making some in
vestigations with' buckwheat, as I read a few
days ago in a London publication, from
which I condense the following interesting
results, which I think may be of value to
the readers of your journal, and may remove
some of the prejudices entertained against
buckwheat cakes as an article of food :
Buckwheat cakes are equal to pure white
bread as regards the phosphates or bone
making material, and nitrogenous principles
which they contain, aud are superior to
bread in fatty matters. The general yield of
buckwheat when cooked is about three times
the weight of tho flour used, showing that
such Mour will retain forty to forty one rer
cent, of water. Between different batches of
ground buckwheat there is a great dissimi
larity of composition oto batch containing
nearly seven times as much mtroccn. twentv-
flte times the amount of phosphates, and a'
hundred and fifteen times as tench fatty
maivcr, as anoiner. i ue uran is the richest
portion of tbo buckwheat, but cannot be
digested by weak atomacks. The' feast
qualities of buckwheat Hourand the white
mill dust especially, are very suitable for
children and persous in delicate health, '
while the coarser varieties require a strong
ttsruttu aud much sxercise for their perfect
dipestiou. -Utrnxantvicn Ttlfjitip'k.
