BY T. aOCIISNXH ttXKD. Tr.e North British Review pronooncea this poem the best that hat ever beau written by an American author: Within this sober realm of leafless trees, The lusaet year inhaled the dreamy air, Like soma tanned feaper i:i his hour of sate, When all the trees are lying brown and bare. The gray barns, looking from ther hazy hilts O'er the ilirn waters winding in the vales, Sent down the air a greeting to the mills, Ou the dull thunder of alternate flalea. All sights wera mellowed, and all sounds Hibdued, The bills seemed father, and tbe stream sang low, As in a dream the distant woodman hew'd His winter log, witb uiany a muffled blow. Th' embanled forests,ere while armed in gold. Their bauners bright witb every marital hoe, Now stood like some sad beaten hoste ot old, Withdrawn afar tu times remotest blue. On slumb'roua wings the vulture tried his flight, The uove scarce beard his sighing mule's complaint, And like a star, slow drowning in the light, The village church-vane seemed to pale and faint. , The sentinel cock upon the hill-side crew ; . Craw thrice, and all was stiller than be fore— Silent till some replying wanderer blew Hta alien horn, and then was heard no more. Where erst,the jay within the elm's tall crest. Made garrulous iioubfe round the unflbdged young ; And where the oriole bung bar swinging nest By every light wind like a center swung. Where sang the noisy masons ot the faves, Tho busy swallows circling ever near, Foreboding as the rustic mind believes, Ail eaily harvest and a pleuteous year, Where every bird which charmed the vernal leat, Skook tbe tweet slumber from its wings at morn To warn the reapers of tbe roasy east; All now was sougless, empty, and luiloru. Alone, from out the stubble piped the quail, And croak'd tne crow, through all the dreary gloom ; Alone the phesaui, drumming in the vale, Made echo to the distant collage loom. There was no bud, no bloom upon the bow ers ; The spiders wove '.heir thin shrouds uight by mailt The tbistl e-down, the only ghost of flowers, Sdiled sluwlyfby—passed noiseless out of sight. Amid all this—in this most cheerless air, And where the woodbine sheds upon the porch, Its crimson leaves as if the year stood there, Firing the floor with Ins inverted torch— Amid all this, the centre of the scene, The while haired matron, with monoton ous trend, l'iied the swift wheel, and witb her joyless mein, Sat like H Fate, and watched tho flying thread. _ . She had known sorrow. Ha bad walked with her, Oft supped, and broke with her the ashen crust, And in the dead leaves, still the heard the stir Of his black mantle trailing in the dust. While yet her cheek was bright with sum mer bloom Her oonntry summoned, and ahe gave her; all; And twice war, bowed to her his sable plume Re-gave tbe swords to rest upon the wall. Re-gava the swords—but not the band that drew And struck for liberty the dying blow ; Nor hint, who to Ins sire and country true, Fell 'mid the ranks of tbe invading foe. Long, but not loud, the droniug wheel went on, Like the low murmurs of a hive at noon, Long, but not loud, the memory of the gone Breathed through her lips a sad and trem ulous tune. * At last tbe thread was snapped, her head was bow'd; Life dropped the distaff through hi* hand* serene; And loving neighbors smothed her careful shrouds, While Death and Winter closed (he Au tumn scene. Healing the Poker. After the news of the destruction of the stamped papers had arrived in England, the miuiatry sent for Dr. Franklin to consult with, and ofTered this proposal:—'That if the A merioant would engage to pay for the dam age in the destruction stamped pa per, tus., the parliament would theo repeal the act.' The doctor, having paused upon this ques tion for some time, at last answered as fol lows ■ 'This putt me iu mind of a Frenchman, who having heated a poker red hot, ran fu riously into the street, and addressing the first Englishman he met there—'Ha Mon ster, will you will yoa give me xe satisfac tion to run this poker only ene foot In your body I'.'My body,' replied the Englishman, 'what do you mean ?'

Delivered at Stanford on the occacion of the Agricultura I Fair. ''ft teems lobe most unloriunate circum stance that I should be selected to speak on Humbug 1 , as looking on ladies whose pro fession it peculiarly is. I find it hard to ex press myself in their pretence. Everything is humbug except our Agricultural Society —that alone is not. "Hambug is . generally defined 'deceit or impoeition.' A burglar who breaks Into your house, a forger who cheats you of your property, Or a rascal, is not a humbug ; a humbug is not an impostor; but in my opinion the true meaning of born bug is management—taot to take an old tiuib and put it in an attractive form. "But no humbug it great Without truth at tne bottom l . The woolly Jiorse was a reali ty. He was really born with a woolly eoat. i bought bim iu Cincinnati for 9500, and sent htm on to Connecticut, but for a long time I doubted what I should do with him, and laared that he would die on my bands. Just then, in 1849, Col. Fremont end hta party were reported to have been lost a mong tbe Rocky Mountains, the public were greatly excited, but shortly news oame that ha was safe. Now came the chance for the woolly horse. "It was duly announced that after three day's chase upon the border* of the river Gila, an animal had been captured by tbe quarter master of CoUFremont's party who partook in a singular degree of tho nature of the buflalo, antelope and camel. This •lory was to far true, that I was myself the quarter master-master, who oaptured him and I charged a quarter fur the sight. Tbe piclue outside the exhibrtiJh depicted Ilia animal at jumping over sledge of rocks; now if the animal had really leaped, as shown iu (he picture, he must have passed over a space of five miles. To have be lieved that he could have eurvived such a leap, would have been the grossest humbug. "But Col. Benton, who understands no humbug but his own, arrested my toheme, arid prosecuted me for obtaining money un der laUe pretences, as the horse was not what it professed to be; but I think wrongly, at the people who saw it was satisfied, and they got the worth of their money. "Now the scientific humbug should know the preeise moment to act as 1 did. or the world would never have been blessed with a sight ot the woody horse. '.'When the woolly iuuaa arrived at Con necticut, he was put in a stable near Love joy's Hotel. One of tbe boarder* who came to see him recognized him as an animal he had seen at Bridgport. 'Good heavens !' he cried,'l have seen that animal before; it is really an extraordinary humbug.' He took a frieud from the same hotel, and after he had seen tbe animal, let him into the secret, and in succession Ihirly-seveu persons were carried up, all of whom took the humdog ging in good humor except the last man. "My ambition to be the Prince of Hum bugs I will resign, but I hope the public will take the will for the deed; I can assure them that if I had been able to give them all the hum-Jugs I have thought of, they would have been amply satisfied. "Before I went to England with Tom Thumb, I had a skeleton preparej Irom va lious bones. It was to have been made eighteen feet high ; it was to have been bu ried a year of to in Ohio, and then dug up by accident, ao (bat the publio might learn that there waa giants of old. The price 1 was to pay tbe person who proposed to put the skeleton together, was to have been *225. " But finding Tom Thumb mere success ful thau I thought, I sent word not to pro cea d with the skeleton for fifty or aeVeuty five dollars. " Seven years afterward I received from the South en account of a gigantic skeleton that had been found. Accompanying ii were the certificates of scientific and medical men aa to the genuineness. The owner asked twenty thousand dollars, or one thousand dollar* a month; I wrote to bias if he bought | it ou I would take ii if I found it at repia tented, or would pay his expanse il not; 1 found it was my own old original humbug come back again; of course I refused it, and I never heard of it afterward." It pasee* all ordinary conception that tbe man Barnum should have grown rich and and impudent upon the proceeds of his de ceptions. bad any individual visitor of " Joyce Heth" chosen to proseeote her exhibitor, he could have .recovered damages under the statute agai list obtain ing money under false pretences. Yet the inventor of that abominable deception baa gone on, contriving similar onal year after year, and from each reaping an abundant reward in money, until at last, he comoa before the publio as a Moralist, delivers aermont ou Man'a major and minor duties to Society, and finally with tnblima arro gance announce hie "Autobiography."— Buffalo Democracy. Timely Kcbnke. Dr. Bethuna, of Brooklyn, in the recent speech before the "Southern Aid Sooily." in N. York city administering the followiug rebuke to those mitiettera of the Gospel who deem it their duty to meddle with "the things that ate Caesar's," at wall a* to care tor the things that are God'#. The learned divine remark*: "II this were a political meeting, we might perbapa allow ourselves to discus* point* not in place now; but for my own -I Truth and Rijtht God aM Mr Coaitry. • I pa", I do not believe in clergyman: attend , I iog political meetings, and making political speeches. [Sensation.] My offloa is to preacn the Gospel, and 1 was ordained to . preach the Gospel, end with the help of God, , that ! mean to keep to. When I have fair . ly gone through preaching the gospel aad exhausted el I hi* precious themes, and prt , vailed with it over every bean; I may turn my attention to tho law, and perbapa try to enlighten my hearers on matters of political 1 jurisprudents, is they will consent to Astern , or tjiiak that I can teaob them anything on r that point, [Sensation.] Now, air, as Christians, what it our duly—onr great and onlycoaitniesion as a church? It is to "preach the gospel to every creature: no matter where he lives, ender what laws, with what color, what hit condition—he is a sinner, and wo must pre ash to hta. in* goo pel. We serve under* captain whose glorious title is "Captain of our Salvation," and he says, 'My kingdom is not of this world,'' and add", "If my kingdom was of this world, then would my servant* fight." The con verse is obvious—we have no mission to ! flghi, and no right to fight. "Tho weapon, of our warfare are not carnal." W# may be thankful that they are not, for if we bad to fight with weapons faahiooed to the world's war, the little flock would aland but a poor chance among the warriors of infi delity ; but onr weapons are mighty through God. From htm only our strength comes—. He has orded and oombinsd us under the banner of the cross, on which Christ died fcr tinners. When he sent his churoh forth on their enterprise to bless the woild, gave them but one instrument que chores, one method and only one. Oat of the treasures ol hit omnipotence, his infinite wisdom se lected only one gift. His church ha* nothing else—it is the Bible. It is distrust or pre sumption which thinks of any other means j and I believe that the Churoh wtll be sevorely scourged by tbe Lord for losing so much lime, and wasting so much effort up on side issues; which sun der us from tbe main purpose of our calling. Our duly, sir, is to obey our master, and such only should be our aim. , The question for ua is not— what do we think is right? or what do oth er men think ia right ?—but what hat the Lord commded ua to do? The rule of christian action is, "Not my will but ihine." We have no other resource. From the Cincinat Qixeltet, Oct. 24. Tbe Ituiued Banker, nod the Moral which Ike Case 1 eacm-s. We understand thai Mr. Manchester left this city on Sunday evening. Since the fail ure of his banking house, on Tuesday, it has not been safe for him to be seen abroad alone. We know not his presynt place of abode, or where he intends to settle himself. One thing is csrtait:—his days of usefulness in this city have departed. His properly has been pissed in the haifds of assignees, but from what We can gather, the asset* will not meet the liabilities.' Many of those who are loser* are har.l working men and women. They entrused their sir.ill earn ings in his bank, and we fear Ibey will not be able to get them back. We learn that bis failure ia chiefly attributed to slock spec ulations, borrowing money at large rates of interest ; and extravagaot living. Some months ago he brought, fifty thousand dot lara worth of stock in one oi tho raitway enterprises in this Slate, which fell en hit hands very rapidly, and hietarei were hea vy. In our city there are few, very few, whoexprett any sympathy for the ruined banker, while 'oursea both load and deep,' follow his footsteps like an echo. One of the sad evils which follow wreeked fortunes and wrongdoing is the sorrows which fall upon the innocent family. Wa shall not at tempt to eneroaoh upon tbe aanotity of their private griefs. The present oaae of failure, and the dis attrous consequences, following it, are not without their moral. The bane of modern oily life ia a desire to make money and to live in a style beyond our legitimate means to afford. Tbe old maxims of home-bred prudence have lost much of their foroe, and aw rarely prmclioed. The deaire to outshine our neighbors, or at least te equal them in show making and party giving, and fine dresaee furniture ar.d cosily yet useless or naments, ere amsng the fruitftll oauses of light money markets, bankruptcy and do mestic ruin. N6 history his ever reoorded the miseries which the slavery of fashion and Ibe arbitrary demands of society inflict upon us—a slaver) more galling than that of the aerritude of the Southern negro—the many shift* that are mads to keep up the the appearances, to hide the troth and to raise money to meet the note* coming due. No wonder we have eare-wun faces, per matore gray hairs, and effeminate constitu tions—tbe legitimate offspring* of e passion to live bsyond our nutans aad keep up ap pearances. As mar.y persons feel a lively interest in the movement* of this financier, we state that he waa arrested at Lawreneeburg on Sunday, just as be was stepping on to the mail boat Highflyer, by Mr. Crist, one of hi* depositor*. An bad prnvioutlv registered himself at the hotel there, nndnr a false name, for Lexington, Ky., accompanied by a lawyer of tnia oity. While waitiug in tbe street for the boat, findiug he waa raoogni zed, ha returned to the hotel, and entered hie true noma under his false one.

After several hours , parleying, and a large crowd collecting, Mr. Crist, a heel working gunsmith, produced bis tools, ond began tu open (lis trunk lectin dem artem. Manchester, not liking the looks of the crowd, and finding he must go to jail, caved ia, gave op the key, (which bis legal friend had carried iu hit pocket.) and from a large package of securities, turned out a sufficient amount of stock of the Hillsboro' and Cincinnati Railroad, to amply secure bis depositor, with power of attorney to transfer the same, which was prsporly done yeater. 1 terday.

The editor of the Scalps', in a very inter esting article iu tha August number of that excellent work, on the crippled condition of of the lungs in woman, makes the following sensible remarks, which we commend to the attention of every female: "Only look at the position of a fashiona bly-dressed woman, sitting in her rocking chair, embroidering; see the approximation ot her arms, and the bent neok and body. The chest containing the lungs has to sus lain the whole weight of the head mid arm*; they hang upon it'almost like pieces of dead flesh; the intestines are forced down upon the womb, and the great blood vessels that supply the limbs are compressed. There is the beautiful spine superbly arched by the Great Artirt, with its exquisitely arranged and graceful eurves, to bring the centre of gravity between the feef, tho very line of beauty, its unmatched and unequalled elas tic substance between each bone, to take off ttie shock ST~ every step, the cnlar-bonet to keep the arms apart, tod to allow the lungs full play, and to show [the beauty of the breast and throat, with beautiful and grand muscles on the bark to keep back the shoulders—th e whole woman—'a dieam of Eden when the world was yoong; and loak only look at the best resells of fashionable socriety. Great heavens! Spirits of Guido and Raphael, do ye behold her! Shades Of Hunter and Bell, do not your bones rattle in your graves at the spectacle ! Such respira tion with tbe lung* poisoned and irritated in the atmosphere of the parlor, and the rank and stifling smelt of a 'magnificent velvet carpet, filled with dust, for the simple rea son that it cannot be swept away ; the light of heaven shut out by blinds and curtains, will stifle three-quarters of the natural de mand for air; exercise and food, it will con gest the hands and eye-lids, rob die color less blood vessels thai nourish (be window or pelluciJ cordes of the eye and give ii its sparkling lustre, and the skiu its fairness, make the finger nails blue, lake away lbs capacity and muscular power to bold op the head and keep the shoulders back, consti pate the bowels by robing them of their se oretious and tbe constant motion impurted by a full supply of air to their mutoulai COM:, and make the whole women a mere half-vitalized machine, fit only to live the ' sickly replies of mental insanity to the in- 1 suiting twaddle she expects to receive from tbe male fool that sits before her. This is ■ th* actual condition of almost every fash ionable woman, in the oity, and it ia brought •boot mainly by want of exercise , the is unable to take from the OonMructioo of her dress, and the slavish adherence to fashion; indeed the does not dream of it* necessity ; ■ the feels th* wretohed lethargy that presses 1 with leaden weight upon her sout; she 1 knows that tbe glad earth ia full of musio of leva and happiness her smothered instincts ' tell her-ah* ought to share them; but a mo- 1 notorious conventionalism threatens her with 1 ostracism if ahe allows a ray of nature to 1 warm the generous impulse into life. Great Gad ? whan I look upon the beautiful and fair laoe* of my country woman, as ibay move before me like so many automata, un- ' der the iron despotism of that bloodless and 1 sickly thing called fashion, my soul i* eiak at th* spectacle, and I am glad to escape in to the forest where I oan see the wild bird byroning tbe praites of his Creator, and lis ten to the unchecked murmur of tbe wind*, and the leaping- of th* dancing rivulet , and when I return to the duties of hie, I look 1 from my window upon the little spot of vov dure a city prison allows rne, and I hear the 1 murmur of a bee, and tee the little bum- 1 ming-bird sipping the nectar from tbe hoti. 1 eysuokle, my heart yet leapt with childish delight a* the lovely little creatures swings 1 upon the branches; I return to ray task, and > feel that if I bad Ihe eloquence and be nevolence of Christ, I could spend my life in no better cause than attempting her in struction In the lewb of her beiug, and showing her how beauty and truth iov* and simplicity are inseparable connected with the sublime soignee of life. > " AN I Kit—AN ACTIVE LAD," Every pepar wa reed proclaim* a want of of this kind, remarks th* Newark Mercury. "Active lads" seetn to be in universal d*. mand, and their aervice* command ike highest remuneration. This,however, should excite no surprise. Lads of (hi* character have of late grown so scarce—the crop for the last few years tie* *o signally failed— that somethi'-g more than ordinary exertion is needed to discover thosa of the proper Mamp, Out youth have everywhere degen erated, end where a few yean since we found active, intelligent lads clustering a bout every hearthstone, we now see only idling, vicious youth, growing up in moral ami intellectual imbecility, aa thistles in the field. " Wanted—an active lad I" He ia wan. tad lor more purposes than one. Not mere ly to attend the shop, or run errands, or drive the plough or plane, but to hew out for him self a path to competence ; to aid in build ing up good and wise institutions ; to pluck up by the roots old and hoary errors; to help on the cause of reform wherever its banner is flung upon the air. And yet not I for Ibis alone is the active lad wanted. He is needded in the path and templet of Learn ing, that he may become fitted for the p*l- T'l *ed the forum, and the thousand repocai biliiiee that man is heir to. " Wanted—an active lad." Life it full of obligations and duties. No man oah lire to himself and escape the responsibility. Our moments are few td f a i beteen, often but accidental dipping of our red in tiro honey of the rock as we ai6 hurrying on to battle. We must all do somethine iu the world for its benefit. And none are more valuable to society than the active lads—the boys ol herve and soul, of integrity . and troth. It maters not what else may grow valueless, the time will never cOrne When active lads will not be wanted iu this world of oura. <1 DID AS IHE KEBI- DID.* This lame, yielding spirit—this doing "aa the rest diJ"—has ruined thousands. A young inati is invited by vicious com panions to visit the theatre, or the gambling room, or other haunts of licentiousness. He becomes dissipated, spends bis lime, loses his credit, squanders his property, and at last sinks into an untimely grave. What ruined him ? Simply "doing what the rest did." A father has a family of sons. He it wealthy. Other children in the same situa tion of lite do so and so, are indulged in this thing and that. He indulges hit own in the same way. They grow up idlers, trifle* and lops. The father wonde.s why his children do not succeed better. He has spent so much money on tbeir education,' has given them great advantages; but alas ! they era only a source of vexation and trouble' Poor man, be is just paying tbe penally of "doing as the rest did." This poor mother strives haul to bring up her daughters genteelly. They learn what others do, to paint, to sing, to play, todanoe, and several other oseful matters. In time they marry ; their husbands are nnable to support their extravagances and they are soon reduced to poverty and wretchedness. The good woman is astonished. "Truly, says she, "I did as the rest did." The sinner, following the example of oth ers, puts off repentance, and neglects to pre pare for death. He passe* along through life, till, unawares, death strike* the fatal blow. He has no time left now to prepare. And he goes down to destruction, because he was so foolish to "do as the rest did." Tua following ttuthful picture ot life, e* it exists hi this country, we copy from the Washington, D. C., Sentinel. In the contin ual change in the condition of man lies oat great safety as Republicans. Were a parti cular family to continue to increase ia wealth for a few centuries we should have just such landed aristocracy as tbey have in England, who would lord it o'er the masses with insolonl dominion. The absenoe of a law of primogeniture distributes tbe wealth of the laud very fairly. Wao ARE You* AIISTOCRATS?—Twenty years ago, this one made candles, that one sold cheese snd butter, another butchered, and a fourth carried on distillery, another was a contractor on cauals other* were mer chants and mechanics. They are acquaint* ed with both ends of society, at their chil dren will after them, though it will not do to say oil loud I For often you shall find that these toiling worms haluh butterflies, and they live about a year. Death brings a di vision of property, and brings new financiers, the old gent is discharged, the young gent takes his revenue* and begins to trsvet—to wards poverty, which be reaches before death, or his children do, if hedoes not. So that, In fact though there it a tort of monied race, it is not hereditary, it is accessible to all, three good seasons of cotton will send a generation of men up—a acore ot years will bring ihetn down, and send children to labor. The father grubs and grows rich—hit chilJren strut and use the money. Their children in turn inherit the pride, and go to shiltlets poverty; next their ohildrsn, rein* vigorated by fresh plebian blood, and by th* amell of th* clod, onme up again. Thus society, like a tree, its sap from tha earth, obanges in its leave* and blossoms, spreads them abroad in great glory, sheds off in fall book to the earth, again to mingle with the toil, and at length re-appears in new dress and fresn garniture. j Ot Nicholas, et Russia, is mid te he ia I high spirits.
