safety.

report of the said week they loaded from the

What IS LJc.-There is eoquence of thought as well as ofanguage in the following paragraph from .Arnotts Elements of Physic:
 "The functions by which the animal body as- sumes foreign matters from around, and converts them into it's substance, is little inviting in some of its details-but taken altogether is one of the most wonderful subjects which engage the human attention. It points directly to the curious and yet unanswered question: What is Lt? The student of nature may analyze with all his art those minute portions of matter called seeds and ova, which he knows to be the rudments of future creatures and the links by which endless generations ofliving crea- lures hang to existence: but he cannot disentangle and display apart their mysterious L.te! that some thing under the influence of which each little germ in due time swells out to fill an invisible mould of maturity, which determines its forms and propor- tons. One such substance thus becomes beau'e- ous rosebush, ,-anotber noble oak,-a third an ca gle-a fourth an elephant-yea in the same way, out of the rude materials of broken seeds and roots and leaves of plants and blts of animal flesh, is built up the human frame itself, whether of the active male, combining graceuness with strength or ot the gentle woman, with beauty around her as light. How passing strange that such should be the origin Ofthe bright human eye whose glance perCes as ii the in- visible soul were shot with it-of the lips which pour forth sweetest eloquence-ofthe larynx, which, by vibrating, fills the surrounding air with music: and more wonderful than all of that mass shut up within the bony fortress of the sku whose delicate and curious texture is the abode of the sOu with its rea- son which conemplaes. and its sensbility which de- lights in these and endless other miracles of crea- tion W

Antumn.-The season is silently stealing onward when the Goddess of Nature dsrobes herself of her simple blooming livery of green, and assumes her rich, rCsset and variegated mantle, as tito conceal her waning charms by display of gorgeous deco ration. Crowned by the blessings of industrious toil, the heart of the husbandman expands as he proudly beholds his overfowing grameries, and his feelings swell with exultation at the sight of his bending orchards unfolding the golden treasures Of Pomona. Iome always the dearest spot on earth, is now the abode of renovated fondnessl sprnging from the rich protusOn ofhe oferngs0f the season a sanctuary from which labor has expelled tarrenness and pnching want.

 When danced upon thy mothers knee, With laughing eye and features mild,
 And ever pleased when kissedby me; But now grown up, woman now,
 And passing Life in Fashions blaze, Say will you greet my humble bow,
 With all the warmth of early daysf Or can the cold and selfish world The retrospects of Life efface- r The cottage neat, the somke which curl'd The charm, the verdure ofthe place, Where oft we played on Summers eve,
 Sporting along the well-mow'd green, Or ran prisoner to retrieve,
 Whilst shouts and laughter cheerd the scenei Lady, those hours for aye are gone,
 Our days of youth and joy are past, And each new year but rolls along
 To that which soon must be our last!- Our early friendship, early joy,
 Moments afectionate and dear, The rules of life too soon destroy, And leave barren desert here:- The kind emotions of the heart
 The ready sigh for scenes of grief, Affection tear prepared to start
 As virtues hand would grant relief Ali lost with youth l-or what remains
 l. ruled by hshion's sovereign sway, Unheeded Poverty complains.
 And Friendship Hits Tn forms way. Young love is barier'd for gold,
 And riches are the boast of life; Fen bcantys charms are bought and sold,

 To whom does gratitude belongi How changed-how flown our years ofmirth, Those joys unmix'd with cares wo, When Hope would start to instant birth,

 Since life appears in constant gloom, Soon may the cold sepulchral stone
