When my limbs throb with anguish, and bow'd

And "thick coining fancies" encircle my brain,
With myriads of demons defying control.
Still burns in my bosom unsullied and pure,
By hope fondly chorish'd a bright glowing flamo?
It is not that life stake:hit/its a lure,
Of pleasures, of honor, of wealth or of fame.

Like the fountain offailli in a votary's breast,
For thou, who if matter, like spirits had wings,
This night on my bosom securely shouldrrest.
In fancy the loved ono of years I behold,
Rush forward to moot me, with joy beaming

With the smile of an angel; o'on such as we're

Invites the freed spirits of bliss in the skies.
The innocent pledges of love, too appear,
As they frolic and sport round the family heKrth
And cling to their parent, and smiling a tear,
For a moment abandon their heart cheering

"Thrice happy time—
Best portion of the various year, in which
Nature rojoiceth, smiling on her works,
Lovely, to full perfection brought."
How beautiful is Autumn! The scenery
of nature is enlivened by a variety of new
colours. The leaves of the forest assume a
golden hue, struggling, as it were, to excel
their former splendor, by an adventitious
beauty, a precursor of final decay. Flowers
and plants hang down their heads, conscious
of the deathlike sleep of winter fast creep
ing over them! The "sere and yellow leaf"
is scattered in profusion over the ground by .
the western breezes, and the songsters of the
grove are carrolling a farewell to the scenes
of their summer campaign.
"In dappled livery Nature sow is clad,
Like bonny Soot, in inany.oolored
How beautiful is Autumn! It is the sea
son ofplenty. The husbandman gathers iq !
to his gamer the reward of his sweat and
toil. His heart is cheered with the prospect
that his winter fire-side will be enlivened
with the conveniencies and luxuries of life.
The press daily groans with delicious fruit,
and , the barn floor creaks with the weight of
its treasure's.
How beautiful is Autumn! We rise from
refreshing slumbers in ..theanorning, and the
bloom of health is on our cheek, and con
tentment on our countenance. See the sun
rising in the east, no longer paining the sight
by its brilliant beams. The eye gazes fear
lessly lathe luminary, as he travels to the
south.' The heat is no longer oppressive at
noon-day, for the cool air invigorates the
aysitinu*: As the. sun , sets behind the west
ern hills he. tinges the heavens with the most
brilliant hues, sporting in magnificence ' and
setting the pencil of the painter at defaince.
Look at:the crimson tints intermingled with
streaks of gold I now the lofty arch' s iii
conflagration! but see the brilliant carmine
fades and a pale yellow occupies its place!
How beautiful! is Autumn! It is thcrea
son of industry. The mechanic plies• his
shuttle with alacrity-L-he thinks of the christ
mas days of his childhood, and he wishes to
reward his own Fortifiers with a suitable token
of his regard, when the anniversary-of St.
Nicholas again arrives. See the ships at
our wharves loading for a long voyage—
bearing away the produce of our arms, to
exchange for the luxuries of the east. Mer
chants are storing Oieir warehouses with
goods, and all classes• are preparing for the
gloom of winter.
How beautiful is Autumn! It is a type of
the last stage of human life. It reminds-us
of the declining years of him who has ap.
plied to industry the days of his youth. It is
the harvest of virtue, and is attended- by
happy and tranquil days. • The autumnof a
well-spent life brings the sojourner neartho
gate of heaven--supports him until to • •
nature shrinks from the bleak winds of win
ter, and then wafts him to that perrennial
spring where 'endless happiness awaits the
virtuous. , . [Saturday Es. Post.

"STAND 33AcK A LITTLE,"
Said an old gentleman to a very lively lit
tle boy, who-was pressing very closer.to the,
edge of a millrace some men were digging—
"stand back a little, the ground will cave in
with you." He had hardly got the words
through his teeth before the 'event anticipa
ted occurred -a-the boy fell and broke hisairr o ti.
The example seemed to me applicable to .a '
great many cases ofemnmou occurrences of
life. r

too Oar, has been the .ruin'of manly 'a fine fel

Stand I,ack a little, I ould say to a man'
who is eagerly bent on acquiring populari;
ty among r9en, by spreading abroad his own
tame, and saying those things for himself
that others should be left to say for him.—
Sand back, and if you are indeed as deserv
ing as you think yourself, others will only
, esteem you more highly for being left td
Make the discovery themselves. • By mixing
with an honest'emulatioltedue proportion
&modesty you will at least reach as high a
place as your merits entitle you to, and you
will'not run the danger of being borne down
'by a torrent of disgust.
Stand buck a little, I would whisper to
such young. ,men as are trying to. elbow and .
push themselves into offices, for which their
elders in years and service are candidates.
Stand back--your time will come by and by
—a defereneo to age is a most . becoming
feature in the character of the young men .
—stand back, it is better to wait until you . .
are solicited to accept than begin when. you
will be obliged to solicit .for posts, either of
honor or profit. Besides, very few perfect
ly honest office holders who depend upon .
their offices for a livelihood, are found to be
among the "fat trine."
Stand back a little, I would say to such
as I often see clanging in wild projects and
extensive' 'speculations, cul at ions, before they . . get
experience; and soniid - judgment, matured
by time and opportunity. This matter of
getting rich in a day is not the easy thing
sanguine people imagine—and it is fin bet
ter to go along with the world in the old and ,
beaten track gathering sixpences, than to
hazard a flight on which we little know how
to manage rightly—and - which when best
managed has.as often retarded as speeded
the journey, of prosperous life. •
Stand back a little, I would say, also, to
such tradesmen and mechanics, as are trying
to push their neighbors off the course, by
underbidding, and
_low shufliingrthe - pepple
will find you Out, by and by, if you piish for
ward in this way, and ten to one but in the
end you will come off with your breeches in
the gutters—stand back—rest upbn your
merit—if that won't support you, nothing
else will.
In fine—it would be well for us all to--
stand back a little—there wbuld be less
crowding and jostling of one another—and
we should all go on more safely, easily and
happily. OLIVER OAKWOOD.

ON*FATTERING HOGS,
As tht.re is so little economy obserVed inr
fattening hogs in this part of the courgry, I
beg leave to notice that also, and point out sv
bitter and cheaper rnode. Th ...I
practice is to_ put them in a large pen: in a
wet season they are soon up to their knees'
in mire and have not a drvagot to lie ink tt _-
In this situation there must be muoh - e - ont.
wasted, and they can n ot possibly thrive ,but
slowly. My practice has been to make two
square pens adjoining; they are both floored`'
with rails, and one of them is so covered *0
to, turn the rain, and is well littered whist
leaves or straw, and fresh litter added ad
least once a week. , In the other pen st
trough ia placed, in which they are fed from
twice to three times a day. One nsbal they -
are fed on peas e and the other two on corm;
it is sometimes boiled and well salted, and at'
other timekraw. This has been my grace
tice for three winters; and my hogs have al ,
ways fattened very fast, and pat less than
those fed in theuncomfortable manner abover
described.'
Last winter after killing off half my fat
tening hogs, the others were fed together opr
fine corn , meal, and although the weathec
got much more severe, they fattened much
factor than they had done before, and eat
still less.
Last winter when dui fields were eat out,.
I commenced fbeding my little steak of out '
hogi on corn; their allowtince was Fix quarts,
but when the weather became severe,. they
fell away fast on tlifeallowance. I then laid ,
the corn rside, and had four quarls of corns
meal boiled every day in ten Oicin s of we: ,
tel., until it boiled' down to. about eight.i.intcr
this a halfpint ofsalt was occasionally.thrown:
while boiling; when done it was taken rug inL
a large tub and given them every day, and
in one week from the day,this 'practice wee
adopted, they looked much bitter, and from;
that time increased in _flesh.. When they
wring opened, they were' fed only three
tenev a week in the same manner, and
the month of May reduced to twice a week s
and by the middle . of June, it.. waa discontism,
