AN AUTUMN' LESSON.
Though fading fast, and falling sere
And withered to the mould.
The glories of lhe wanm2 year.
How well iherc !.. ns .'lu!
Not surer on the niht of cluom
Will dawn lhe sU.Nnine day,
Than from O-'toher's leaf-strewn tomb
Will burst the leafy May.
If o'er antumn blasts have blow n,
Aador heart-verdure left us bare.
Dear, perished hopes around us strewn.
And chilled us u iih their wintry air
Oh ! yet on us a May shill breathe.
To bud in hope, in health to bloom.
And wiih in richest ver ture u-reaihe
A garland fresii'ning to our tomb.
GUESSIN'O.
What would become of Yankee land,
Were it not for pipssirjiT :
This last best sen- bestowed on ns
Is really qmle a blessii.g.
The lawyer "tieesses M a rasp.
Beyond his pou-tr of solving t
Th jury ptiess he must be ris:ht.
While verdicts they're evolving.
The doctor s'isscs he will find
His patient ijuite a trouble!
And sure his guessini. in my case,
Will not turn out a bubble.
The girls are trnessin; who will come
To take them to lhe parly ;
The fellows guess who they will take,
AnJ step along quite smartly.
The lover guesses h had best
To ranke 'lhe proposition,"
Guesses his heart, when that is done,
Will cease us palpitation.
The maiden juesses what he'll say.
And has her answer r-ady
Cnesses she'll tell it offquiie glib,
But finds her voice unsteady.
The mother guesses "something's broke,"
She hears snrh wondrous Halter
Guesses the children told a fib.
By saying, "Xo great matter."
The father gn'sss he'll be rich.
If things should go tn suit him
Gi.es f s "it cosis a sight to live"
A fact there's no di'pjtin.
Th one who wrote this.suessej he'd make,
One day. a famous po,, ; j
The p.ople euessed his head was turned; :
I guess these verses show it. j

probability seems to be that tbe Polar Sea
must be of great extent and depth, or it
could not remain free of ice. An approach
northward from the eastern continent,
would probably show the reality. Unless
it be more accessible than by ."e openin
at present discovered, it must contiuuc au
unknown realm, where the whales may
! luxuriate unmolested, aud the seals and
walrusscs multiply at their leisure.
The lsJijcr on tho other hand, thinks
that there is now no longer any induce
ment to incur the perils of a voyage to
j tuose bigU northern latitudes, and predicts
j 'bat thee arctic expeditions should now
be abandoned. "For three centuries," it
sas, "the idea of a Northwest passage has
stimulated a succession of heroes to endure
the rigors of au arctic winter, in the hope
of finding a passage from the Atlantis to

been solved. Tbe successful voyage and

A Second Whitfield. Recent Eng
lish journals, state that a young minister
of the Baptist church is creating as much
excitement as Irving and Whitfield did ia
their day. Tbe London correspondent 0!
the New York Sunday firms says : " His
name is Spurgeon,and he can scarcely have
reached bis'2'Jdor'23 lyear.I should think.
His eloquence is extraordinary it over
whelms you with its force and brilliancy ;
and his voice has the characteristics which
Whitfield's is said to have possessed a
ringing tone, and capable of being hear!
by an assemblage often thousand persons.'
Mr. Spurgeon, above referred to, his
been preachiug over a year, and although,
at first it was propheeied that his power
would not wear, it has not yet been dimmed.
A younger brother cf the same man, has
also commenced preaching, with, similar
effects ai d 0;u'a:ity.
Sesator Toombs, of Georgia, has ac
