It wu late in mild October; and the log* autumnal
Had left the summer hirtest-fielde all green with
The g BB B shop unets beil =nen, tearing all the

With the hues of sllllllllBil rainbow or the mead

On the cornfields and the orchards and softly pic

And all that quiet afternoon, slow sloping to the
night,
It wove with golden shuttle the haze with yellow
light ;
Slanting through the painted beecheet it glorified
the hill,
And beneath it pond and meadow lay brighter,
greener still.
And shouting boy■ in woodland haunts caught
glimpses of that sky,
Flecked by the' many tinted leaves, and laughed
they knew not Why ;
And school-girls, gay with aster dowers beside the
meadow brooks,
Mingled the glow of autumn with the sunshine of
sweet looks.
From spire •nd barn looked westerly the patient

But, even the birches cm the hill stool motionless
u locks:
No sound was In the woodlands, pare the squirrel's
dropping shell,
And the yellow leaves among the boughs, low rust
ling se they fell.
The summer grains were harvested; the stubble
fields lay dry,
Where June winds rolled in light and shade the
pale-green waves of rye;
But, still, on gentle hill-slopes, in valleys fringed
with wood,
Ungathered, bleaching in the sun, the heavy corn
crop stood.
Ilent low by sutumn's wind and rain, through
husks that dry and sere
Unfolded from their ripened charge, shone out the
yellow ear;
Beneath the turnip /ay concealed in many a ver

And glistened in the slanting light the pumpkin's
sphere of gold.

Flamed the red radiance of a sky, sot all on fire
beyond,
Slowly o'er the Eadern ses-bltdrs a milder glory
shone,
And the sunset and the moonrise gees mingled in

As - thus into the quiet eight the sunart lapsed a

And deeper in the brightening moon the tranquil

And laughing eyes and busy hands and brown

Half hidden in a quiet nook, serene of look and

Let other lands, exulting, glean
The apple from the pine,

PARABLIV FOR LAMS.
Naomi, the rising and. lovelydaughter
of Salathiel and Judith. was troubled in
spirit, becauscot theimpeoaeldng Wet •of
trumpets, she would-be compelled to ap•
pear in her plain. undyed stole, while some
of her young acquaintances would !ppm
in blue and purple. and fine linen of the
land of Egypt. Her mother saw the loom
that appeared upon the face of the lovely
girl, and taking her apart, related to her
this parable : A dove thtut made her com
plaint to the guardian spirit of the ibathisred
tribe :
"Kind genius, why is , it that the home
voiced strutting peacock spreads its gaudy
train to the sun, dsaaling the eyes of every
beholder with , his, richly huinisbed. neck
and royal crown, to the astonishment of
every passer by, whilst I, ip my' plain plu
mage, am overlooked and forgotten by all 1
Thy ways, kind genius; seem not to be e
qual towards those under thy kind protec
tion."
The genius listened to her complaint,
and thus replied :
will grant you a train similar in rich.
ness to that of the gaudy bird you seem to
envy, and shall demand of thee only one
condition in return."
"What is that!" eagerly inquired the
dove, overjoyed.et the prospect of possess
ing what seemed to promise so much hap
piness.
"It is," said the genius. "that you con
sent to surrender all those quailies of meek
ness, tenderness, constancy and love, for
which thy family have been distinguished
in all times."
"Let me consider," said the dove. "No,
I cannot consent to such an exchange. No,
not for all the gaudy plumage, the showy
train of that vain bird, will I surrender
those qualities of which you speak, the
distinguished qualities of my family from
time immemorial. I must decline, good
genius, die conditions you propose."
"Then why complain, deal' bird 1 Has
not Providence bestowed on you the qual,
ities which thou values( more than all the
gaudy adorning. you admired ? And art
thou discontented still ?"
A tear started in the eye of the dove at
the mild rebuke of her guardian spirit, and
she promised never to complain.
The beautiful girl, who had entered into
the mo y w'tli Ileeperimd - deeper emotion,
raised her fine blue eyes to meet her mo
ther's gaze ; as they rolled upwards, suffu
sed with penitential tears, she said in a
subdued tone, witha smile like that assum
ed by all nature, when the bow of God ap
pears in the heavens after a storm : "My
motber, I think I know what the story
means. Let me be your dove. Let me
have that ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, and I am satisfied to see others ap•
pear in rich and gaudy apparel."
Tug FEMALE Tioresa.—No trait of
character is more valuable in itfernale than
the possession of a sweet temper. Home
can never be made happy without it. It is
like the flowers that spring up in our path
way, reviving and cheering us. Let a man
go home at night, wearied and worn by the
toils of the day, and how soothing is a
word dictated by a good disposition ! It
is sunshine falling on his heart lie is
happy, and the cares of life are forgotten.
A sweet temper has asmoothing influence
over the minds of a whole family. Where
it ie found in the wife and mother, you ob
serve kindness and love predominating over
the natural feeling of a bad heart. Smiles,
kind words and looks characterize the ch ild
ren, and peace and love have their dwelling
there. Study, then, to acquire and retain
a sweet temper. It is more valuable than
gold, it captivates more than beauty ; and
to the close of life it retains all its fresh
ness of power.
Tits Harry GIRL.—Ay, she is a happy
girl—we know by her fresh look and buoy
ant spirits. Day in and day out she has
something to do, and she takes hold of
work as if she did not fear to soil her hands
or dirty her apron. Sucb girls we love
and respect wherever we find them—in a
palace or a hovel. Always pleasant and
always kind, they never turn up their no
sea before your face or slander you behind
your back. They have more good sense
and better employment. What are flirts
and bustle-bound girls in comparison with
these? Good for nothing but to look at;
and that is rather disgusting. Give us the
industrious and happy girl, and we care
not who worships fashionable and idle
simplitons.—Boaron Pose.
HINTS TO Y OUNO lADIRIL-If any young
woman wastes in trivial amusements the
prime season of improvement,which is be
tween the ages of sixteen and twenty, they
thereafter regret bitterly the loss when
they come to feel themselves inferior in
knowledge to almost every one they con
verse with ; and above all, if they should
ever becomemothers, when they 161 their
inability to direct and assist the pursuits
of their children, they find ignorance a se
yen, mortification, and a real evil. Let
this animate their industry, and let not a
modest opinion of their capacities, be a dis
couragement to them in theifendeavors af
ter knowledge. A moderate andetretaad
ing, with diligent and well dftected
appli
eation, will go, further gum.a.
,mere lively
genius, if attended with that impatience
and inattention which too often accompa
ny quick parts. It is not for want of ca.
Dimity that so many women are such tri
ing, conspanionsi so ill glialified
for the friendship and conversation of a
sensible man, Of for the task of governing
anti instructing a family; it is often from
- the neglect of exercising the talents which
they really hive, and from omitting to cul
tivate a taste for intellectual improvement;
by this neglect they lose the sincerest pleas
ures, which would remain when almost e
very other forsakes %scum, of which neither
fortent nor ago can deprive them, and
which would be a comfort and resource in
almost every possible situation in life.
It has been decided by Lord Denman
and *other judges of the court of queen's
bench, that according to the new law of
England,'a marriage with the sister of
deceased wife is absolutely null and void;
and as a matter of course all the children
of each a marriage ate illegitimate.

Tee W,urs.—lt needs no guilt, says a
writer in Chamber's Journal; to break
a husband's heart : the absence of content,
the mutterings of spleen, the untidy dress
and cheerless home, the forbidding steely'
and deserted hearth : these, and other name-
WWI neglects, without a crime among them,
have harrowed to the quick the- heart's
core of many a man, and planted there be
yond the reach of cure, the germ of dark
despair. Oh ! may Woman, before that
sight arrives, dwell on the recollections of
her youth, and cherishing the dear idea of
that tuneful time, awake and keep alive the
promise she then so kindly gave. And
though she may be the injured, not the
injuring one—the forgotten not the forget
ful wife—a happy allusion to the hour of
peaceful love—a kindly welCome to com
fortable home—a smile of love to banish
hostile worksa kiss of peace to pardon
all the past, and the hardest heart that ever
locked itself within the breast of selfish
man, will soften to her charms and bid her
live, as she had hoped. her years in match
less bliss, loved, loving and content—the
soother of the sorrowing hour—the source
of comfort, and the spring of joy.
Goon Bvit.—There is hardly a greater
perversion of the meaning, of a phrase in
the English language, than is contained in
the words so often used at parting with
friends--" Good bye"—words which
have in themselves _Ammo. uo...signifien
tion whatever. In the olden than it
was customary, especially among pious
people, when parting from those they lo
ved or respected to commend them to the
protection of God. The phrase in French
was "a Dieu"—to God--anglice, "adieu"
—and used by thousands Without a knowl
edge of its meaning. And the old English
form of expression, "God be with you"—
a most solemn and beautiful phrase when
taking leave of a friend, is altogether dis
carded, and "good bye," a most vile cor
ruption of this phrase, has usurped its
place.
TEMPTATION.—To resist temptation
once is not a sufficient proof of honesty.—
If a servant, indeed, were to resist the con
tinued temptation of silver lying in a win
dow, as some people let it lie, he would
give a strong proof of honesty. Hot this
is a proof to which you have no right to
put a man. You know, humanly speaking
there is a certain degree of temptation
which will overcome any virtue. Now,
in so far as you approach temptation to a
man, you do him an injury; and, if he is
overcome you share his guilt.
Wno can tell the value of a smile! It
costa the giver nothing, but is beyond price
to the erring and relenting, the sad and
cheerless, the lost and forsaken. It dis
arms malice—subdues temper—turns ha
tred to love—revenge to kindness, and'
paves the darkest path with gems of sun
light. A smile on the brow betrays a kind
heart, a pleasant friend, an affectionate
brother, a dutiful son, and happy husband.
It adds a charm to beauty, it decorates the
face of ,the deformed, and makes lovely wo
man resemble an angel of paradise.
WRITE IT IN OOLD.—The great compre
hensive truths, says President Quincy.
written on lettere of living light' on every
page of our history are these:-Haman
happiness has no perfect security but free
dom ; freedom none but virtue virtue
none but knowledge; and neither freedom,
nor virtue, nor knowledge, has any vigor
or immortal hope, except in the principles
of the Christain faith, and in'the sanctions
of the Christian religion. -
Ssamort.—Here is an eloquent sermon
in a single paragraph: "What I spent, I
wasted—what I lent, I lost—what I gave,
I have." 'Treasure the golden moral, gen
tle reader.
Hons.—How sweet a thing is the lore
f home. It is not acquired—it is a feel
-
Mg that has its origin elsewhere. It is
born with us, brought from another world
to carry us on with joy in this. It Mulch
es to the humblest heart thatever throbbed.
Lase YR/M.—Some one has said "there
is a reason, or all things," and.this reminds
ta that the younger portion of our readers
may wish to know why this is called leap
year. Well. By the calendar, every 4th
year has 866 years, one being added to the
month of Febtuary. The .Wendar of the
Roman Emperor, Julian, made the year 365
and.one fourth days. It was found, how
euer, there were some minutes less, which
in the course of centuries had — mide a dif
ference in the astronomical equinox of a
bout ten days. Pope Gregory XIII. in
1532, corrected this error by suppressing
ten days in the calendar; and to prevent
such a discrepancy in future, he establish
ed one day every four years.
We believe it is generally understood
that the girls Wave agreed to adopt as their
motto for the coming year, "Come and
take me." So look out, boys, and "when
found make a note," as Captain Cuttle
says.
A BRIGHT votrrn.---"Tommy, my dear,
what areyou crying for I" said a lady to
her little boy who had just returned from
church. "Because the clergyman says we
must all be born again, and I'm afraid I
shall be borne a girl next time."

MR. EDITOR :—The communication of
Vindex, which appeared in your excellent
paper of the 18th ult., in reply to mine of
the 15th November, will compare very fa
vorably with his former one for inconsis
tency, ambiguity and egotism. He has
permitted his vindictive feelings to get the
better of his judgment, and consequently ,
indulges (for want of better argument) in i
a strain of language beneath the dignity of!
a gentleman. He has shown himself to
be a man whose manners need cultivation,
and we do nut feel disposed to continue
discussion with one so devoid of politeness
and common courtesy. There are one or
two points in his last communication to
which we shall briefly advert,and then bid
him a final adieu 1 The profundity of
Yindex is made manifest in his remarks.
on the "constitutionalprerogative" of free
dom of speech. After quoting my re
marks on this subject he goes on to Ur*
"a pretty constitutional prerogative, in
deed, that grants a right and power to con
demn that right at the same time ! There
is no such Wunder in the spirit of that in
strument." No ! but Vindox has- been
guilty of a most egregious blunder. now
a 'constitutional prerogative' could grant a
right and power to condemn that right, is
another new idea—another "rich scintilla
.
j tion," that Vindex's imagination has been
throwing off. Now, according to our im; •
; pression, it is the Constitution that grants
the right, and Vindex will liave to mks"
himself more familiar with that Conatitu-,
; Lion, before he again attempts to call our
constitutional rights into question. But
what is the reasoning of the sapient Yin
; dex in regard to this subject. "What ! al
low men the right of voting according to.
their
their pleasure and opinion, and at the same
time empower others to condemn them for
so doing !" Now, according to Vindeses
logic the Democratic tariff-men of Penn-
sylvania had no right to censure or con-
demo George M. Dallas for casting his
vote in lavur of the Tariff of 1840. And. :
yet they had the right, and the Constitu
tion granted them that right, and they ex- .
ereised it properly when they condemned
him for this act of faithlessness
.to Penn
sylvania interests. Again, if the President,
in the exercise of thai power granted to
him by the Constitution, should place his
veto upon an act of Congress, generally. .
desired by the people, would it (the Con
stitution) also act as a gag, to prevent them
from expressing their disapprobation—to
compel! them to be silent ? No! instead.
of acting as a gag, it protects them in the
free expression of their sentiments. And
in investigating, exposing, and condemn
ing the motives and. principles by which
Vindex and his coadjutors were actuated,
we have not transcended the power and
right granted to us by the Constitution.—
His absurd reasoning led us to exclaim in
the language of one who considers hithself
a greater than Webster, "Lord save Its•-•.
here is wisdom !"
But Vindex in endeavoring to get out of
one difficulty only falls into a greater One.
When we said, in our first communication,
that they were. actuated - more by smniuk
motives than love fir the glorious princi
ples
of the party, we meant exactly what •
we said. We did not predicate this asser
tion upon mere supposition ; and how far ~.
we were correct we can easily perceive
(roman examination of the language male
toted by Vindex in his last coininunica- .
tion, He has admitted, in the most une
quivocal terms, the cause of their "devia
tion from the ticket." Here is his own
staternent,and we give it in his own words.
"Now, in the mune of all the 'saints to the
calendar,' how could a salutary effect be
produced or an inducement for sacrifice be
taken advantage of, when your conciliatory .
epistle did not issue until after their alight
- personatobjections had been carried to 4.4 4 - .
ballot box ?" What slight personal ob-
jectious ? Why, the very cause of the 4se.-
cession from Mr. Sadler.' Here we bare
a candid admission from Vindex, which
fully establishes the asssertion we made.
that with him it was nu longer a question
of measures, but men ; and that with bins
principles were subordinate to private pre- .
judiee, We do not deem it necessary to
enter into any explanation, in refirreuve to .
the salutary effect that might (hereafter)
result from calling attention to the puerili
ty of their effort on this occasion. WO
knew that "those slight personal objections
had been carried to the ballot-box," (to,
quote Vindex again) and we knew the re
sult of their worshiping '-idols" not recog
nized by the county convention ; and Vin-
dex has only exposed his "greenness," by
inferring that our remarks were intended •
to affect an election whirl' had already in- •
ken place. Nor do we deer it necessary
to defend the county 'convention from the ,
base insinuations of Vindex. That they
are usually composed of men actuated by
as pure and honest motive as ever Vindex ,
possessed, we have not a single doubt.
The tneed of praise that has been awar
ded to the York Springs disiriet, has proved ,
very, exceptionable and offensive to tho
very sensitive and irascible Vindex. And
the spontaneous land cheerful manner in
which these expressions of approbation
have been tendered front all parts of the
county, has only rendered him the inure •
petulant and irritable. Vindex should re-
member that these expressions only show
how their attachment to, and support of,
Whig principles are appreciated ; ; and
while they need no incentives to induce.,
them to do their duty, they are not to be ,
influenced to forsake the principles of their
..
party, by any of Vindex's "slight persons'
objections."
What kind of nicht! Vindex is composed .'
of, that renders bun aspiring, we do not
positively know,blit believe thatit is brass! '
11 we examine him by the same stand
ard that he sets up for others; we wilLfitut,,, •
that he who runts the most about tyranny—
and oppression,is, when
..Dreas'd in a Ind° brief authority,
Most ignorant of what be 't , most amaurod,”
the moat likely to become as tyrannical as
a Nero or a Caligula.
We feel satisfied that ..the result of the'
impolitic and reprehensible course puffin%
ed by Vindex and his colleagues, will serve
as a warning to those who have predate. "
tions for other candidates than those put '
in nomination by the county convention,'
and will induce them to lay aside all pri.
vale feelings and prejudices, and , support
the whole ticket with that cheerfulness,'
and zeal that characterizes every true
Whig.'
We now take our leave of Vindex and
hirprinciples,..and shall nut notice alt
