' 1.1 INDIAN SUMMER There is a time, just when the frost Prepares to pave old Winter's way, When Autuiuu in a reverie lost, The mellow daytime dreams away; When r'uuimer conies, in musing mind, To gaze once more on hili and dell, lo mark many theaves they bind, And see if all are ripened well. "VTita balmy I.teath she whispers low, The dying flowers look np and give . Their sweetst incense, ere they go, ' For her who made their beauties live. " She enters 'neath the woodland shade ; llcr zephyrs lift the lingering leaf, And bear it gently where are laid The loved and lost ones of its grief. At last, old Autumn, rising, takes Again his sceptre nnd his throne; IS'iih boisterous hands th tree he shakes, Intsnt on gathering a!i his own. . Swtet Summer, sighing, flits the plain, -And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim, fc'ees nii.-er Autumn hoard bis grain, And smiles to think it's all for him. A BEAUTIFUL STOKV. "You wore not hero yesterday" said the gentle teacher of the village school, as she Ltd her hard kindly on the curly head of one f her pupils. It was recess time, but the lit- tle girl had net gone to frolic away tho ten minutes, not ven loft her scat, but sat absorb ed in v .i itemed a fruitless attempt to make herself mistress of a sum in long division. Tier face and u?ck crimsoned at the remark cf her teacher, but loctiing up, she seemed somewhat re-asrurcd by the kind glance that met her, and answered, ".No ma in, I was not, I but my sister Ned was. J - "I remember there was a little girl, who cat- led herself .Nelly Gray, came in yesteruay, but I aid not know she was your sister. iut why did you not come I lou seem to love study very much." . "It wasnotbecau.se I did not want to come, was the earliest answer, aad then she paused, and tha deep flush arain tinged that fair brow -but," she continued, after a moment of painful embavrussaieiit, "mother cannot spare both of vi conveniently, and so we are going to take turns; I'm going to school one day, and sister next; and to night I'm to teach Nel- ly all I have learned to-day, and to-morrow night sho will tens: . me all she learns while hers. It's the only way wo can think of get- tin; along, and we want to study very much, to as to sometime keep schooLoursclvcs and take care of mother, because she has to work vary hard to take care of us." ', With genuine uelicacy, Miss M. forbore to question the child further, but sat down beside l;r, a::d in a moment explained the rule over which she was puzzling her young brain, so that tl.e difficult sura was easily finished. "You had Letter go oat and take the air a moment; you have studied very hard to day said the teacher, as tho little girl put up her slat?. "I had rather not ; I migd tear my dress ; I will sUnd by the window and watch the rest." ' There was such a peculiar tone in the voice of her pupil as she said ''I might tear my dress, that Miss M. was led instinctively to notice it. It was nothing but a ninepenuy print of deep Mu, but it was neatly made, and hid never yet been washed. And while looking at it she remembered that, during the whole previous fortnight Mary Gray had attended school reg- nUrly, that she had never seen hcr wear but t'lit one dress ; "So is a thoughtful little girl," said she to herself, "and does not want to make her mother any trouble. I wish I had more such schol- ars." 'The next morning Mary was absent, but hcr F'stcr occupied her seat. There was some- thing so interesting in the two little sisters, fhn tin 11 vears old and the other 13 months vomiger, agreeing to attend school by turns that MissM. could not forbear observing them very closely. They were pretty faced child ren, of delicate forms and fairy like hands and feet; the elder with da-k, lustrous eyes, and the jSsurgcr with orbs like the June sky, her white neck veiled by a wreath of golden ring- Jeta. :sne oostrvea in ooui a.uv v...- tion to their studies, and as Mary had tarried tlr'-'ircg 1 'JJ time, so didXclly,and upon speak- irg to her as sha had to her &ister, she received the samo answer, " might tear my dress. Again the reply caused Miss M. to notice tj.e garb ot the sitter. She saw at once it was th -i same piece as Alary s, ana upon sliu- iialzing it closely, sae became certain uiti n. .was tho same ui ess. H did not fit so closely on Nelly, it was too long for her, and she was .tr;rl..ntlv not at ense when she noticed her teaci:cr looking at tuc brght dowers that were so thicklv set on tho dark groutid - Hiooverv was one that couia noi uufc . 1 A I...

Very brigU an happy looked Marry Gray on Friday woruing, as she entered the school at an early hour. She waited only to place j 1 her book neatly in her desk, ere she approach- ed 3I:ss TJ. and whispering in a voice that laughed in snie of hcr efforts to make it low and defcrer-tiji "After this week, Nelly is fomiTi'g t9 ehool every day and oh, I am so 'That is good news," replied tho teacher kindly. "Nelly is fond of her books, I see, and I am happy to know that she can have an opportunity to &tudy her books every day." Then she continued, a little goodhumored mischief encircling her eyes. But how can your mother spare both conveniently. "O, yes am'am yes ma'am, she can now. Something has happened which she didn't expect, and she is as glad to havs us come as we are to do so." Sho hesitated a moment, but her young heart was Clled to the brim with joy, and when a child is happy it is natural for it to tell the cause as it is for a bird to warble when the suu shines. So out of the fulness of her heart she spoke, and told the teacher this little story. She and her little sister were the only chil dren of a poor widow, whose health was so delicate that it w-as almost impossible to support heraclf and daughters. She was o- bliged to keep them out of shool all winter, because they had no clothes to wear, but she told them if they could earn enough by do- ing 0,i(j cilorea for the neighbors to buy each of them a new dress, they might go in the spring. Very earnestly had the little girls improved their stray chances, and very carefully laid by the copper coins which usual ly repaid them. They had each saved nearly en01,gh to buy a calico dress, when Nelly was taken sick, and as the mother had no money before hand, her own treasure had to bo cx- pCU(je(j ror medicine -0, I did feel so bad when school opened, al)fj Xelly could not go because she had no dress," said Mary. "I told icr I wouldn't go either ; but she sail I had better, for I could then teach hcr somC) ani jt WOuld be better than no se,ooling. I stood it for a fortnight, but belly's little face seemed all the time i00liiiis at me on the way to school, and I couidnt be happy a bit; so I finally thought 0f a way n- which we could both go, and I tolJ mother I would come one day and the next I would lend Nelly my dress and she mjg!it come, and that's the way we have done tlis cek. But last night somebody sent s;ster a dress just like mine, and now she can como too 0 if j only kncw 1lo it waSj j wouj gct down on my knees and thank them, antl so wouu Nelly. But we don't know, and wc na vc done all we could for them we've prayed for than I and oh, Miss M. we are all so glad now. Ain't you too ? "Indeed I am," was the emphatic answer. And on tho following Monday", when little Nelly in the new dress entered the school room, her face radiant as a rose in the sun shine, and approaching the teacher's table, exclaimed in tones as musical as thoae of a freed fountain I'm coming to school every ja,. now anj j am so gaj r jijss jr.. c It as sie neVer before felt that it was more p- .sse(i t0 sivc than receive.

Y. "Scalpel." : POPERY AND FIG-STIES. THEIR XATCRAL AFFINITIES. , The remarkable fact, that just in proportion to the elevation of the Friesthood, is the de gradation of tho people, who are contemptu ously designated Laity is the theme of this essay. We must first make the fact appear clearly, and then endeavor to trace the cause of such a state of things, accurately. The highest culmination of grandeur and greatness, for the Fopo and his Triests, has passed. For this assertion, we have an abun dance of proof, and the authority of one of the ablest, if not the very ablest of Fapal authori ties, Cardinal Wiseman. 'VTc heard him as sert this in his four great Discourseson the Dogmas of the Catholic Chnrch since pub lished. Of course the admission was humilia ting to the Cardinal, but it was also creditable. The three great causes of the reduction of the Pope and the Priests, from thir former colossal grandeur, to their'present retrenched and dilapidated condition, were : 1st. Martin Luther, and the consequent Reformation. 2d. The invention of the art of printing, and the translation and diffusion of the Bible. 3d. The French Revolution, and the Emperor Na poleon. If the Pope had the satisfaction of seeing the Emperor deposed, ho must, and did confess, that he himself had first been subdued. After Napoleon pet his Imperial foot on the Papal neck, it was never strong enough to carry its head very high. The whole of the Papal spine has been very weak ever since, and all the strychnine in the world, is unable to set it straight and strong though it may some day make it stiff. Before the events to which we refer, the peo ple, universally, were at the feet of the Pope and the Priests. Now, millions of them are aiming at their throats, and indue time will fasten on them with such thorough devotion, that no power will be able to shake them off". . They have had their glut of gorgeous pro cessions, and imposing ceremonies, and arc doubtful of the value of their solemn services. Even the present Tope, "Pio Nono," had to runaway from "the faithful," disguised as a chamber-maid, in order to save bis holy throat from being cut. Even now, with the pious and potent protection of ten thousand French troops, he is not safo from poison one hour. Sttll the Pope lives in a palace, and his Car dinals ami Archbishops live in the style of priuces. The inferior clergy live by some means, like gentry ; and the clerical portion of the Roman Catholics, form tho Catholic Church. Now it must not be supposed ' that the re spcctablc,cducated classes, consisting of pro fessional men, merchants,' and shopkeepers, are the main supporters of the Pope and the Priests. It is the lower orders of society, that prop up Topery. There are more pig-sties in Ireland, devoted to the cause of Popery, than to the snstcntation of the peasantry. For a peasant to starve, may be lamentable ; but for a Priest to suffer, would be sacrilege. What would an Irishman be, without his Priest ? Tho Democracy of this country are by no means particular who the persons are that vote for and support them. If one of the Democra tic politicians can get into oflice that is, can get pay he does not inquire too narrowly by whom, or by what means. Perhaps he Would have no objection to swear that he was appoin ted by Godj to his office if that were necessa ry to secure it since he does swear to a lie equally great, that he is elected by the people. The Priesthood of the Roman Church appear to be just as indifferent as to who supports them. All that they ask is, that they be sup ported. If the tattered tenants of cabins nnd shanties, or even the inhabitants of pig-sties, are their means of support, it will do. Be supported they must and will. The lazzaroni of Italy and Naples, and the bandits of Southern Franca and Spain, are the devotees of the clergy. In Ireland, the ragged, the wretched, and the homeless, are the nioht devout and bigoted. The most ignorant and degraded of the Pea santry of Franc, are the persons most attach ed to the Church. The lower orders in cities have their wits too much sharpened to be led as blindly as the country. They see more be hind the scenes of the Church, and are too much aware of what stuff the clergy are made of, to worship them. Indeed, an army of beggars and fools is re quisite to sustain the Pope and the Priests, and is quite as effectual a defense against the inroads of property and knowledge, as an ar my of bayonets. Let any one go into a Ro man Church, and observe who are the most thorough devotees, and Lead-counting kneel crs. Of such are the faithful. - The expense of snoh a tribe of spiritual loaf ers as Priests and Monks, involves the conse quence of a beggared and befooled mass of people. Who that has been at Rome, at Na- . pies, at Paris, cr at Brussels, can see the mas ses of unproductive and devouring Priests, Monks, and Nuns, without asking : "What use are they ?" If they say that they repeat prayers, this can be done better, and cheaper, by machinery. . But let us come nearer home. The Cathe dral where that most reverend and dignified person, Archbishop Hughes, ministers we ruean performs is surrounded by piggeries and groggeries. The affinity of the Church to them or of them to the Church is very man ifest. Piety and putrescence seem to be akin ; worship and whiskey appear to agree. Eope ry and pig-sties have evidently some relation. The archiepiscopal residence ot 'His Grace,' is very appropriately located amid the most devout and faithful of the flock. Who will doubt the ardent piety of the inhabitants of Mott, Mulberry, and Prince streets 1 The "Dead Rabbit" organization is composed of the most devoted friends of the Church. When Mass is performed we mean celebra ted when the holy and delicious incense of the Church ascends to the "throne of Grace," odorating with divine aroma the olfactories of "Sancta, que Beata Maria' she of "the Im maculate Conception" how refreshing, revi ving, and invigorating, must be to her "the ever-blessed Virgin" the accompanying o dors, ascending from the aforesaid piggeries and groggeries! Who can tell their value, reeking with a saturated solution of the exu dations and excrements of close confined Pigs and Paddies both turned out together, for the same purpose, of enjoying the sunshine and the sewer ! What a subject of inspiiation for the genius of Mozart, or Raphael! Wc ought to have another Mass in E flat and a new picture of tho Virgin, by an "Irish American" artist ! Now we have not the slightest doubt that much, and good pay, comes from the aforesaid piggeries and groggeries, and that they are more useful and reliable allies of the Church, than a whole square of good, substantial, cul tivated, and refined persons ! Topery and pig-sties are more nearly related than their al literative cogi-omens indicate. There was a certain scandalous controversy, some time ago, on the subject of the acquired and accumulated wealth of one John Hughes, who signs himself with af as Diocesan of New York. The allegations were to the effect that the said John f had obtained possession, and kept possession of some property, worth mil lions of dollars, the same being the property of the Church. If all that was alleged were true, we see no reason why the Bishop is to be blamed. The Pope has always acted upon the principie that the Church was the Priests, and they have always said that the Pope was their head, and their all in all. Now, for an Arch bishop to get hold, and Uep hold of the dio. cesan property of the Church, was very proper. It was only a layman, and he not of "the true Church," who thought such conduct in a Bish op was "most toIerab!e,and not to be endured." The piggeries and groggeries had done what good Catholic piggeries and groggeries were bound to do to support the Church and John f had done what a true Catholic Arch bishop ought to do. He had taken care of what belonged to the Church. One of the in habitants of these piggeries' and groggeries, may, and ought to cheat a heretic like us ; but he must, and docs pay the clergy and the Bishop, from his birth to his burial. How the devout heart of the aforesaid John t Hughes must rejoice, when he finds so many of his devoted followers from the land of St. Patrick, reverently copy his most holy exam ple, by signing their names with an X. There arc some movements begun toward erecting a new Catholic Cathedral up town. The location is one that was famous for Irish and German Catholic piggeries. The attrac tion of affinity is strong in nature ; and no less strong in social and religious matter, than in organized or even unorganized matter. An ordinance of the Corporation drove the pigs up-town, and they, not naturally, but spiritu ally, attract the Church after them. ' Pork and Potatoes, aiid Popery and Pig-sties, all begin with P. Who is there .in Ireland, that does not know the formidable letters, P. P.? Here after, let them stand for Topery and Pig-sties. Tue Vicissitudes op Commerce. A few months since, the partner of a commercial house in New York city was taken to a lunatic asylum, utterly deranged, as was said, by his unparalleled prosperity in business. During the year previous, his firm had cleared $1,300,000. He died in the asylum, and bis own estate was valued at $2,500,000, all inves ted in the concern of which he was a partner. The firm itself failed the other day, and is now said to be utterly insolvent. One item of the assets of the deceased's estate was one thousand shares of the Illinois Central Rail road stock, which was selling at the time of his decease, at $110 a share, and which was worth, after paying np the instalments, 5800, 000. The same property sold lately at public sale at $50,000. All this occurred - within eighteen months the prosperity, the insanity, the decease, and the Insolvency. . Pepper is an almost universal condiment. Black pepper, irritates and inflames the coat ings of the stomach ; red pepper excites, but does not irritate, consequently it should be used instead of black pepper. : It was known to the Romans, and has been in use in the East Indies from time immemorial, as it cor rects that flatulence which attends the .large use of Tegetable food. Persons fn health do not need any pepper in their food; but to those of weak and languid stomachs, it is ma nifold more healthful ts nse . cayenne pepper at meals than any form of wine, brandy or beer that can be named, because it stimulates with out the reaction of sleepiness or debility. IN A BAD FIX. We were told a few days ago, a joke on a young man not a thousand miles from Cedar county, Iowa, which, as we have never seen it in print, we consider worth relating. The cir cumstances happened some time ago, but-will loose nothing by its age. It was told to ns by one who knew, and who vouched for its truth. A certain young man in search of a wife, be ing out on a courting expedition, as is cus tomary with young men, came late on Sunday evening, and in order to keep his secret from his young acquaintances, determined to be at home on Monday morning bright and early, so that his absence would not bo noticed. But his affianced resided several miles from the town in which he sojourned ; and so, to over come the distance, required the use of a horse. Mounted on his horse, dressed in his fine white summer pants, and the other "fixins" in pro portion, he arives at the residence of his in amorata, where he is kindly received, and his horse properly taken care of, by being turned into the pasture for the night. The evening, yea the night passed away, but how to the young man is nobody's business. Three o'clock in the morning arrived. Our hero was awake nay, ho had been so all night but it matters not,three o'clock was the time for him to depart, so that he might arrive at home be fore his comrades were stirring. Not wishing to disturb the family of his lady love who were then wrapped in the arms of morphens, he sal lied forth to the pasture to catch his horse ; but here was a difficulty the grass was high and covered with dew. To venture in with his white pantalaons, would rather take the starch out of them, and lead to his detection. It would not do to go in with his white unmen tionables, so he quickly made his resolve. It was three o'clock in the morning, and nobody stirring, so he carefully disrobed himself of his whites, and placed them on the fence, while he gives chase, with unscreened pedals, through the wet crass after the horse. But the steed was fond of clover, and had no no tion of leaving it. But our hero was not to be thwarted, although he began to realize the truth of the old adage about the course of true love, &c, and finally the horse was captured. Returning to the fence where he had safely suspended his lily white unmentionables what a horrible sight met his eyes ! The field into which his horse had been turned, was not orly a "horse pasture," but a "calf pasture" too, and the naughty calves, attracted by the white flag on the fence, tad betaken themselves to it, and, call like, had almost eaten them up ! on ly a few well chewed fragments of this once valuable article of his wardrobe now remained only a few shreds just sufficient to indicate what they hud once been. What a pickle this was for a nice young man to be in f It was now day-light, nnd the industrious farmers were up and about, and our hero far from home, with no covering for his traveling nparatus. It would not do to go back to the house of his lady love, as they were now all up, and how could he gt in without exhibit ing himself to his fair one, which might rum the match? No, no, that wouldn't do. Neith er would he go home in that plight. There was only one resource left him, and that was, to secrete himself in the bushes till the night; and then get home under cover of the dark ness. This he resolved to do, and according ly hid himself under a thick grove of bushes. Safely hid, he remained under,the protection of the bushes for some iirae ; and it may be imagined that his feelings towards tho calf kind were not of the most friendly character ; but ere long seclusion was destined to be in truded upon. The family of the fair one, seeing his horse still remaining in the pasture, enquired of the lady what she had done with her lover. She was non-plusscd. She only knew he had left about three o'clock in the morning. Things didn't look right; if hc had gone, why did he leave his horse ? Sus picion was awakened. By and by," the boys, who had been out to feed the calves, returned with the remnants of the Identical white gar ments which had adorned the lower lirnbs of their late visitor. They were mangled and lorn to shreds ! An inquest was immediately held over them. Some awful fate hid befal len the unfortunate young man. The neigh bors were soon summoned to search for his mangled corp.e, and the posse set out with all speed, with dogs and arms, trt the search. The p'asture was thoroughly scoured, and the adjacent thickets, when lo ! our hero was driv en from his lair by the keen scent of the dogs, all safe, alivo and well, but minus the linen. An explanation then ensued at the expense of our hero; but he was successful in the end, married the lady, and is now living comforta bly in one of the flourishing little towns of Iowa. He has, however, an aversion to calves and white pantaloons, ever since his adventure when he first went courting. ' " Ship Casai,.

The lafo returns are somewhat more Tro-Slavery than those first given ns, and the Lecomptonites are claiming a majority hi both Houses from tho figures. Brown, Nemaha, Atchison and Don iphan Counties they feel sure of, and we grant them all but the last, which may yet be doubt ful. In Franklin Counly they had no County Commissioners whose duty it is to appoint voting presincts, beside tho county seat. Therefore, tha people in convention decided to vote at several other places. Now, it proves that ail the votes cait io the county except those polled at Ccntropolis, the county seat, w ill be thrown out. Hers was a cennty of over a thousand voters, with only cm precinct granted them, while Johnson County, on th border, where we eannvrt have over from two to four hundred legal voters, has seven or eight legally appointed precincts for the spe cial accommodation of Missouri. These ar some of the beauties of the arrangement pro vided us by that party w hich claims to b th incarnation of Squatter Sovereignty." Some of the returning outlanders passed through here yesterday on their way back to Missouri w ith nrgroes even in attendance. A. train from New-Mexico also came through our town, and some of the families said this was the first town they hud seen for seven years One of our most reliable public men in Kan sas is just in from Kiv,kapoo, who says he was there on the day of election, and sare the ele- phaiJ. Gov. Walker was there in person with a company of dragoons. Now mark the se quel. It was apparent to all that a large forco of Imported voters was there from Missouri, and Walker was applied to, and asked lo in terfere to prevent it. What followed T A ma jority of 500 Pro-Slavery votes were cast in a town of aout 200 legal voters, and instead of Walker giviug us protection as a high-minded and honorable dispenser of an important public trust he permitted the invaders to in dulge their most unscrupulous propensities for voting and worse still, he told the soldier to vote, and they did rte, in riolation of a lave of Congress. This is a most unparalleled outrage. Now kt us bee who will attempt an apology for it. " P. S. A messenger just in from Lecompton states that several gertl?men have arrived there from Johnson County, with ofCcial re turns, and they claim to have carried the coun ty by 1,800 majority.

This pretended "1,800 majority" is snt ia from a counfy in which not a huudrel white men live, and these are there in violation of treaties and in defiance of our laws. If this bogus "1,800 majority" is to be treated as any thing but a joke, the Pro-Slavery yoke Is again fastened on Kansas, and by frauds more bare faced, if possible, than the original.. Shall this villainy be allowed to prosper f The Germantown Telegraph says that tha operations of cotton and" woolen Imills, print works, dr- ing establishments, machine sbopsi foundries, furnaces, &c, were never so re stricted, perhaps, as at the present time. At Manayunk, Frankford and other manufactur ing localities, the. works are either entirely closed or running but half .time. A large number of hands are : concequently thrown out of employment, either wholly or partially ' and unless they have provided for a rainy day, hich we hope many have, there is suffering awaiting them. The Wakefield mills at Ger mantown are also closed. The extensive wool en mills at Cresccntrillo arc partially closed; and those along the Wiasf.bickon, vlih scarce ly an exception, have ceased operations.
