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

the5r mother, sad though sorely straightened
hrr-i.' by rrrcsv purse, that same night,
having found at the on!y store in the' place a
few yar.is of tho same material, purchased a
dress for little Nellr, and sent it to her m
sncl a way that the donor could not be detect
ed.
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

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. ' "

.THE KANSAS ELECTION.
Correspondence of the New York Time.
Lawrence, Kansas, Oct. 9, 1857. 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. If true, it gives them
all the members in both nouses for this dis
trict. I do not vouch for its correctness, but
it Is probably true. . Kasdolth.
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. Tho
number of workmen thrown out by all theso
suspensious is very large.
A Man Tiexed to Stone. A report has
been spread through our town for several
weeks past, that a man residing somewhere
in Perry county, was turned to ttone, as a
visitation on him, for blasphemy. We have
not learned whether La has become marblf,
limestone, or a "perfect brick." ' Some say
he is a fair specimen of roarbletfccd iron. " lun,
if 'helnd turned to geld, he would have been
of use daring the suspension;' Lis friends
could have chopped np his fingers and toes,
into small change, and discounted t br.lai.ee
of his corporation on time; in that case one
would consider his hand "good for sixty days.'
But if the man has turned to marble, we don't
see be is of any use, except to make tomb
stones for the dying Banks and business peo
