cake and nice things, as we used when we
lived in the great housel Oh, that was such

mama, with your fingers. when pa would

on his knee, and said was his own dear
boy. What makes pa sick, ma wish he
wasn't sick-for it makes me 'fraid when
he stamps upon the floor and says so loud

Hush, little innocent, you cannot stop

| heard beautiful boy, scarcely four
years old, lisping this to his mohcr-and
l pitied him from my inmost soul. His
mime was George Elwin. His father was
once rich and happy, and nearly idolized
his little son; but in an evil hour he began
to sup the intoxicating cup: the habit had
grown upon him, until the peace of his
family was destroyed; and he became
tyrant. The beautiful house in which they
had lived was now exchanged for miser-
able cottage in the suburbs of the city, and
little George doomed to be the companion
of the indolcnt and vicious.--

Bright Summer has passed with her gay
chuplets of flowers, and is gone to Jon
the throng of things that have been. II
her stead Autumn is with ms laden with
fruits, and although not yet clad in her coy-
ering of russet brown, The GOODNESS of her
breath foretclls the fall of the leaf and the
! lapse of nature, into the chilling dominion
of crusty, comiort-loving Winter. Already
do bracing breezes begin to fan the anguid
limbs of exhaustion, imparting energy,
freshness and fitness for the never ceasng
tolls of human existence. The husband
man is gathering INTO the garner the rich
products of his sun-browncd industry, and
rejoicing over the prospects of peace aud
plenty. The sportsman no longer slumbers
in listlessness and repose, but walks abroad
upon the hills, and reyels in the conscious
ness of strength and activity. To the scbol-
ar it is the season for study, to the moraist
the time for observation-disclosures unburthen-
ed of its iulness, no longer swells with the
prolific impulses of creation, but seems ms
if retiring within itself, after having fulfilled
the promises of its budding youth. Like
man it has enjoyed its childhood of beauty.
and its mid life utility, and like him it must
sink into the shrivelled dimensions and pas-
sionless apathy of old age. In vain do we
attempt to stay the onward rush of Time !;
with ceaseless impulse it hurries us forward.
now through scenes of beauty aud lowell
ness, and now along the dreary waste of
disappointed bopes and exhausted on the
brink of the dark ocean of eternity, which,

Remarkable SnoD Storm "A letter from
friend in Skeneateles written on Thurs

most extraordinary snow storms that ever
occurred IN any autumn in this state. On
Wednesday morning it commenced showing

the whole of that day, and the next. II
was computed that the fall of snow, but for
the rapid melting, would have equaIled three
feet. As 1t was, the snow lay sixteen iDch-
es deep at the time the letter was written.
Great destruction took place among the
fruit and forest trees, which were broken by
the burden of snow resting upon them.
