THE SEPTEMBER GALE,

-Ltt BY o. w. HOLMES, III. d. 9itf
I'm not chicken have seen va
Full many chill September,
And though ! was youngster then
Tt That gale Iwell remember g1fa va
The day before my kite string snapped, <
And, | my kite pursuing,
The wind whisked off my palm leaf hat
For ME two storms were brewing.
1t came as quarrels sometimes do,
When married folks get clashng;
There was q heavy sigh or two,
Before the fire was fashing,-- o..
A little stir among the clouds,
Before they rent asunder, .iyIr
A little rocking of the trees,
And then came on the thunder. 'N
Lord! how the ponds and rivers boiled,
And how the shingles ratified
And oaks were scattered on the ground,
As if the Titans battled:
And all above was in howl, , gr
And all below clatter,-
The earth was like frying-pan,
Or some such kissing matter.
1t CHANGED to be our washing day,
And all our things were drying: a.
The storm came roaring through the lines,
And set them all flying;
l saw the shirts and petticoats
Go riding off like witches:
] lost, ah bitterly wept,
lost my Sunday breeches

MISCELLANEOUS.
A STEAMBOAT CHACE.

The manner in which the steamboat
races, which so frequently end in the
dreadful destruction of human life, are
conducted on the Western waters, is
given in late Peoria Register, and was
written by Mr.. Samuel H. Davis, who
was in one of the boats. ..... ,.
THE BANTER.
Son Wednesday morning the 18th
of April, the Captain of the Franklin
stepped on board of the Philips, both
boats being at Louisville, and, after the
usual salutations, put his hand somewhat
Significantly to his neck. whats the
matter with your neck 2" asked the
captain of the Philips. 81 strained it"
replied the other, looking back for you
the last run we made up."-" Well"
said Captain McClain, g if | can get
enough freight for ballast, you shall
strain it looking the other way to-day"
Thus the challenge was given and ac-
cepted. The thing took wind, and bets
of 800 to $75 were made, that the
Franklin would beat the Philips one
hour. The latter got no freight, and
had to run under this disadvantage.
THE START.
The Franklin left port at ii o'clock,
with her usual complement of freight
and passengers, and proceeded off in
gallant style. The Philips left at 35
minutes past ii, just as her challenger
was passing Six Mile Island. She had
no freight, but she had a good supply Of
pine knots, in addition 10 her stock OF
wood, which was, for the most part, dry
beech, and excellent. The Franklin,
being daily passenger boat between
Cincinnati and Louisville, of course con-
tracts for and obtains the best wood on
the river. The Philips had about thirty
cabin, and the same number Of deck
passengers: among the latter was a bu.
gIer, who, from the hurricane deck, sent
forth several stirring airs, as the boat
showed off and got under way. The
effect seemed enchanting. Merchants,
clerks, draymen, all dropped their pur-
suits, and became gazers upon the
scene. ,.ta
OVERHAUL AT MADISON.
Though the Franklin was observed six
miles ahead on our leaving port, yet,
from the bends in the river, and the in
creasing smokiness Of the atmosphere,
she was soon lost sight Of, and not seen
again until we arrived near Madison, so
miles from Louisville. Here she had
stopped ten minutes probably to deliver
the mail, and was halt mile ahead as
we passed the town. Thus, we had
gained at least twenty minutes upon her
IN the distance. Till this time, very few
Of the passengers knew Of the race.

With what ease he writes !" said a
young lady as she laid down one Of
Washington Irvings volumes. Straight
way We made up our mind that the
young lady did not know what she was
talking about. Had she said show ca
sy it is to read his works." we could have
sympathised with her amazingly. Then
finding we could not make satisfactory
reply without compromising our homes
ty, we fell to making a comparisoA in
silence. The steamboat glides majes-
ticaIly and gracefully through the wa
ters, but it is no easy power that gives
to the water-traveller her steady and
rapid motion. 1t is true she is tastily
gilded and painted; her cabins are plea.
SAINT, and her Prov is decorated with
specimens OF the sculptor's art. But de-
scend with the engineer to his fiery do
main; swetering there in the burning
pit !; see the heated grease, and listen.to
The bursting steam; see the tremendous
power offire and water combined, until
the strained 9 threatening boiler threat
ems to burst asunder, and deluge the
decks with heated fluid. You will per-
ceive the although a mild and pleas
ant damsel, has confounded rough old
father. Little dreamed the admirer Of
Irving how much agonizing toll was re-
quired to beget that ease, which she SO
much delightedin Yet she was not a.
lone in that error. How many a pub
Usher thus lightly estimates the labor Of
his weary author! How many trades
man smiles at the trifimg employment Of
the man ofgenius! We have been mad
enough to eat an oyster supper, when
we have heard the peasant draw an in
vidious comparison between himself and
the poor wight whose intellect supplies
him with bread. 81 get my living by the
sweat Of the brow" said he, while you
are triaing away your time with books
and papers"
Yes, seethat pale and hungry being
startled from his task by the sound ofthe
midnight bell. See how his fingers

JAMAIcA.-We perceive from jana
lea papers that a city Mission, has been
established in the capital of that island.
The constitution Of this society is the
same as that Of The London City Mission,
whose plans Of proceeding it seems to
have adopted, without any alteration but
such as the difference ofplace required.
We observe amongst the names Of the
managers those Of Episcopal Aclergymen
and missionaries of several pdemonina-
tions. The Wesleyans of London are
not connected with the London City
Mission; Bot those of Jamaica are with
the Kingston City Mission,

ANEcDoTE.-A Christian whom, God
had prospered in his outward estate, and
who lived in ease and plenty on his farm,
suffered the world to encroach much on
his affections, and sensibIy to diminish
the ardor of his piety. The disease was
dangerous, and the Lord adopted severe
measures for its cure. First his wife
was removed by death, but he still re-
manned worldly minded then beloved
son; but although the remedy operated
favorably ii did not effect cure. Then
his crops failed, and his cattle died still
his grasp on the world was unloosed.
Then God touched his person, and
brought on him fatal and lingering dis
sease, The world however, occupied
still too much ofhis thoughts. His house
finally took fire, and as he was carried
out Of the burning building, he exclaimed
"Blessed be God, am cured at last"
He shortly after died happy in anticipa.
tion of heavenly Inheritance. N
How many protesting Christians of the
present day are deeply infected with this
dangerous disease? If they are Chris
tians, indeed, God will adopt some such
method of cure as the foregoing and if
no such remedies are applied, the pre-
sumption will be strong, that SO far from
being children of God, they will be lett
to die accursed, as idolaters of the world.

lately met with the following sentiment.

without winning our confidence, there is
something naturally bad at the bottom Of
his character--which we should do well

IMpIETY.-Burns used to say that he had
no idea Of that kind Of courage which
consisted in braving Heaven. hmay be-
doubted whether there is. any courage
at all in impiety. Men have been known
to make frequent use Of blasphemies who
possess scarcelysa spark Of personal cour-
age while many Of the bravest men
on record were, remarkable for the re-
spect with which they always spoke Of

FAcTs FOR PREsByTERIANs.- Under
this head, communication is published
in the Alton Observer of the 9Th inst.
in which it is stated, that, within a por-
tion of Missouri, equal in size TO five Of
the New England states, there are but
four Presbyterian preachers. This fact
is noticed in that paper as matter of
regret and surprise, if not of censure;
that so much backwardness should be
manifested among the clergy Of that re-
spectacle church, to preach the gospel
10 all people. 1t cannot be for the want
of ministers altogether, for, in the Pres
byterian as in the Methodist church,
many ministers are out of all regular,
pastoral employment. o God !! what
