From the N. Y. Sued ay lercary.
Short, Patent Nermon.
I have taken the following as a test fur
the ut.easion :
The autumn leaves en falling fast,
To All this warning give,
Prk p to die ye sans of earth,
Ye shall nut always live.
Aly hearers—l fear that too many of
virt i 1 it;er yoUrrelVeS . 101 the idea that
live to a great and good old
. ....I then die in the huge
nippy hereafter; and l know that
~ , otoe of you appear to live as though you
were perentnal plants of morality, never
to he transplanted to the coil of some un
known Island in the vast ocean of eternity.
But, erring friends, do not deceive your
selves. The evidence of decay is exhibi•
ted upon every earthly object around you;
chat,e, wonderous cham . , is daily taking
place to this world, inol all things animate
are steadily progrossing towards one mon
ition tooth. Could we but see at a glance,
what multitudes of es insignificant insects
that cr:ntl alum , narrow pathway,
,
and moo ly beim , crushcd hem2atil the big
omits cl 'folio, we would shake in our
shoes, ti,rough fear we be the next vic
tim; but ty.ing blind, as we are to man
ly'', ‘.l e canter teat lessly along in our wick
career, till we feel the dart of-death
sticking in our gtzzards, when we strai!!,l.-
ten out like a dying frog, give a grasp and
a galvanic quiver, then yield our souls to
God the Giver, and our bodies to grave
worms for dessection.
'lv y friends—the autumn leaves that
now fill around you warn you, with
speechless eloquence, to prepare for death.
Fhey seem to say that every lair object of
earth must fade and fall—that the wreath
of b,ittity must be stripped of its blossoms
—the laurels that bind the brow of Fame
most oither—and that the proud, noble,
majestic form of man must soon be laid to
inioil.ler in the dat k and dreary sepulcher.
toe ;Juries of the year are passing away,
so .ds, are the glories of the v
is oat far distant when lime will
is an •Iltutonal frost upon the hutted-
I fees is,'. The stars v. ill ce a se to
en's vast field ; they will
fall like leaves before an October wind,
and mingling with the common rubbish of
chaos, they will doubtless look like bre-
ken bits of diamonds glittering among the
worthless refuse of creation. The out,
will appear like a rusty shield of blond
and carnage; the moon will melt anti drop
into the ashes of annihilation, like a piece
of toasted cheese; the earth will shake
itself like a spaniel just emerging front
the water, and scatter all its vermin upon
the borders of eternity.
My hearers—this generation will have
passed away ere that awful crisis shall
occur, and you will escape its attending
terrors ; never the less you arc doomed to
die, and the sooner you begin to think
about it, and make the neces,ary prepa
rations, the better it will be fin- you. Now
is the season of the year to be serious and
thoughtful. You, whose hearts have
grown harder in iniquity than a ball of
putty in the sun, and you, in whose hearth
a couple of worldly and wicked ideas REP
continually rattling, like gravel in a gourd
shell, why go on in your reckless career
tell vou find yourself irrecoverably lost in
the labyrinth of destruction—and the devil
may help you, for I can't. But to the
wise, the prudent anti the virtuous, I
would sae . , go walk in the woods, at this
sweet Sabbath of the year, and worship in
the sacred temple of Nature. All is sol
emn and silent. All there is calm and
still. The birds have ceased their sum
mer carrollings—the chickeree shells his
nut in quietoess—no sound is heard, save
when the light forgers of the breeze are
feeling about the rustling leaves, anti the
warns light that sheds a golden lustre
along the landscape, has us religion a
hue as sunshine titrou;l the sained win
dows of it church. Yes go kneel at the
deathbed of Flora, or sit at the couch of
vegeation, and meditate jibe a huuury
horse, upon human frailty, trod the short•
nest and uncertainly of life. The flower
all faded and gone, show how quichly
youth huh cast its bloom never to blOssum
and the decaying velure of the
trees prochims to man that 1:,- ,eason of
it, turit fleet Ft•ortly rrye e' 0 to the
. .
worCly hiends and fellow citizens
—when you see how each tender plant is
drooping, and the leaves are dropping one
by one to the ground, you have a picture
before you reintesentiog the constanz egress
of your friend, and kindred out of this
world of wickedness and wo ; and you
ouj s lit he all wails:, to put yourselves in
readiness to deport when
knock at the door of your hearts, and de
mand a ',lease of the soul from its prison
house of clay. What is man but a vege
table that springs from the dust, buds,
blossoms, ripens and sows its seed, and
then amalgamates with its original dust.
In the spring time of youth he flourishes
like a squash vine near a barn yard—in
the summer of manhood he exhibits both
fruit and llowers—in the autumn of age
he withers and decays—and then the win
ter of death hied him forever from the
world.
My dear hearers—Teal n your destinies
train the Idling leaves. Young maiden!
•lu,g you three score and ten years
to enjoy yourself, painfully at best, upon ,
the Almighty's footstool, it will be but to
morrow ere your raven hair is grey as a
woodchuck. AI)! soon those sparkling
eyes will loose their lustre in the dim eve
hmg twilight of existence. Tone will kiss
every particle of paint from your cheeks
--the roses will fade in the wreath of
loveliness, and you will be no more an ob
ject of attraction than a dried mullen stock
in sheep pasture. Decorate, then, the
mind with the garlands of wisdom, in or
der that you may be thought beautiful,
even when the perishable portion shall
become blighted and withered by the frost
of age. I have no doubt but the old 31111
young of both sexes, are profited by the
lessons they receive from, the harmonious
but wonderful opera.ions of nature; but
as fin• attempting, to set them seriously
thinking upon the precarious situation in
which they are placed by the aid of po
tent preaching, I suppose I might as well
undertake to whitewash the sky in order
to render the evenings light and pleasant
in the absence of the moon.
• My hearers— all that I wish is that you
may live in such a manner that your la-t
days ►nay be as mild and glorious as those
of autumn, and that when you depart, you
may bid adoe to the world with hops hi
your hearts and a smile upon your lips.
So mute it be!
POPULAR Enanns.—To think that an
editor, because he is an editor, is every
body's body.
'fn think that printers' hills ought to bo
paid, if paid at all, in the meanest cur
rency, because they are printers' bills.
