A CURE FOR TROUBLE.

BIZ s. OSBORNE.
Ben Brisk philosoi her was,
In the genuine sense of the word;
And he held that repining, whatever the cause
Was unmanly, and weak, and absurd.
Tom Triple when trouble intruded,
And his fortune and credit were sunk,
By too common error deluded,
Drowned trouble and made himself drunk.
But Ben had a way of his own,
When grievances made HIM uneasy,
BID all the blue devils begone,
Braved trouble, and made himself-busy.
When sorrow embitters our days,
And poisons each source of enjoyment,
The surest specific, he says,
For trouble and grief, unemployment.

THE WIFE OF TWO HUSBANDS.

The sailing-masier of vessel belong

on a voyage to the Mediterranean, cap
tured by the Algerines, and detained in
slavery for eleven years; FIVE of these
employed at hard labor, with ball of /
lbs. weight fettered to his ANGLE, until
happily released from SO painful situa-
ton, in consequence of the celebrated
chsstisement inflicted on these barba-
rians by Admiral Lord Exmouth. Re.
turning to his native town, sufficiently
disguised in tattered apparel, a toil-worn
countenanee, and an unsborn beard, he
learnt that his wife, after passing ten
years in supposed widowhood, (ship, car
go and crew, being conjectured to have
persisted in the sea) had married Sc
cond husband; and that son, left ap-
prentice TO the book binding business,
now kept selling and stationary shop,
in which he was assisted by daughter.

entered tho shop, and on pretence Of be-

THE SONG OF AUTUMN.

THE SONG OF AUTUMN.
come, come from my dwelling of rest,
To cover the earth with my brownest vest,
come, in my strength, to fade and consume
The violet's tints and its soft perfume,
To pluck from its stem the blooming flower,
And scatter its leaves in an evil hour.
On pinions of wind sweep DER the plain,
And breathe on beauties where summer hail
lain;
And the rustling corn bows its ripen'd head,
Der the mournful marks of my siroc tread,
And the mellow grapes in thick clusters shine
On the slender curls of the leahess vine.
At my coming the fields have changed their
dress,
The meadows are shorn of their loneliness,
And the clouds are dark, and the streams are
chill,
And the hoary frost hath covered the hill,
And sprinkles of snow are borne ON the blast
by these ye may know that summer is past.
Ye may trace my path by the north Winds
sound,
BY the fading leaf that falls to the ground,
By the golden fruit that drops from the tree,
b, the swallows fight from the distant sea-
Ye may know by these where my voice haiti
been,
Andtrace my footsteps DER mountain and glen
OH hasten away, ye children of earth,
love not your songs, hate your wild mrth;
Ye1nock me with joy-my feelings are sad
came to destroy-Oh! why are We glad
Look, look on my face ye proud ones, and say,
Hye read not there of death and decay.
On some of your brows there hangs dark
gloom
Have some of your race gone down to the
tomb
Yea, many have gone whose feature were gay,
In the VANISHED year, as pass'd this way.
They've gone to the land where all things are
fair
They have gone in peace-I shall meet them
there.
They've gone, Pm going, and ye too must 60
To the pleasant land, where no rude winds
blow;
We shall meet them there, with their features
bright,
And their starry robes, and their crowns OF
light;
We shall meet them all-the lov'd ones we
knew
hasten to join them-adieu adieu!

FREDERICK THE SECONDS DOG.
Near the end of the famous seven
years war, between the Prnssians and
the Poles, Frederick the Great, who was
near-sighted, found himself, in dark
night, entirely alone, distance from his
army He had reason to apprehend a
rencontre with numerous detachmenls OF
Cossacks rowing in the vicinity. liz
rambled here and there, when his dog,
OF Danish breed, who always accompa.
MED him, placed his paws suddenly
against the breast OF his horse, as il to
ainder him from advancing, but failing
IN this, he turned TO the King himself
and taking the skirt Of his coat into his
mouth, sought to detain him.
Frederick who had experienced in ma
ny encounters the particular fidelity oil
his dog, was astonished at his conduct.
Suspecling something extraordinary, he
stopped and looked around him, bui per-
ceiyed no person. He listened, but he
heard nothing. Not content with these
precautions, he dismounts and walks TO
the rear, to the great delight OF his dog,
who lesped Tor Joy. Choosing then a
iirm piece oil ground, the King lay down
and placed his ear to The earlh. He i'm.
medlately heard sudden and dis.au'
sound extending along the bank OF the
river-he listened, and is satisfied thai
his dog had advised him Of his danger.
He soon at or, by The light Of The moon,
deserted a large body OF cavalry, occu-
plying an extensive plain. In this haz-
ardous situation Frederick lost no time,
he sought refuge under the first arch OF
a bridge, over which the cavalry was ad.
vancing in column, and in profound 81
fence. Never was this Prince in such
inrred.sle dsnger; the least movemen,
might betray him, and to be made pri-
soner without resistance, was TO tarnish
his exploits, perhaps lose his renown.
To aggravate his distress, his dog,
who could not endure the sight OF his
masters enemies, began to bark. A.
this critical moment, trembling for The
first time for his safety, the great Frede-
rick seized suddenly his dog by the jaws,
and holding them firmly Shut between
his hands, he remained motionlcss in
that singular attitude until the Cossacks
had passed and the danger was over.
The King, at the death Of his dog,
erected to his memory monument oi
white marble, in his park Of Sans Sonci.
arsGAsE
One person rises in The morning at half
past nine, another at six. If each live to
be fifty years old, the one will have en-
joyed 65,873 hours, or 1861 days, more
than the other.
