of life and inluse the spirit Of JOY into all
around. Autumn comes apace, emblem
attic of declining but still vigorous years.
The blossoms and leaves are shaken 10
the ground by many blast, and SO of the
bright anticipations of our past days, our
warnings and our hopes many, alas 100
many have been faded and wihered, by the
ftluI changes which the hand OF time hath
wrought. But still the fruit of many
we'll concerted plan may remain which
the maturity of wisdom will enable us to
garner as the melancholy but precious
remnant Of all that was beautiful and
bright. Winter succeeds, and old age is
the winter Of the soul. But as this may
come undreaded by the husbandman when
he knows that the past seasons have not
gone by unheeded and unimproved, so
when looking back on a well spent life,
even the approaches of decrepid age, need
bring no terrors. But still the thought
will come like the blight of death even to
the bosom Of the wise.t; the thought Of all
that the young heart once revoIled IN, in
the iondness of anticipated delight; the
thought OF the all glorious and beautiful
unls with which fancy once delighted to
paint the horizon of existence, alas now
faded into the cold gray coloring Of pain
full reality.
My lost, my uniorgottenl Thou whose
gentle spirit still seems to whisper in ev-
cry breeze; whose memory still bright and
glowing, invests me as with the halo Of IA
dream; can it be that the dull uses Of this
world; the storms, the bufiings of fate;
ay, or the uuspairing blight of age, will
ever cause thy image to fade or close lis
light from the chambers Of despair; thou
in the sunlight of whose smile, my young
existance was dreamed away; and whose
sweet remembrance even now can unbind
the harsh cords with which the tyrani
custom Of the world hath girded up my
soul, and bring back once more that emo
ton, as soft as the dews that are wept be-
meath the influence OF summer twiiisht;
now that the rude contact of things OF
earth, hath taught NE by lis contrast, how
pure, how ETHEREAL was the spell that bound
me, can almost rejoice that it was not
permitted TO be broken by the laiing con-
tiicts to which reality would have exposed
it, and that can still cherish It in memo.

halIowed child Of thought. Ger this no
winter can ever cast lis gloom. Yes,
hasten on tothy bourne, thou fell destroyer
time. Thou mayest pass over the wrecks
of kingdoms, and wreak thy vengeance on
the monuments CT nature that totter be-
meath thy crushing wheels. but TO the
treasures of the soul, the bright essences of
the Immortality that blooms beyond the
tomb, thou const bring no change; the

nomination, but are now compelled TO ABIDE ny
the decision Of the Convention, in their prefer
ence for Gen. Harrison. If the combined Wis
dom of that body considers Gen. Harrison more
available candidate, we shall not pretend to ques,.
on il, hut throw ourselves into the breach, and
will be found fighting Tor him who so CALAMITY
fought for us and our prosperity.
Gen. Harrison is Vrginian by birth, and son
of one Of the Sigaers OF the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence. His name is identified with the ctuh
and military history of his country. There does
OF live man in the Union, who hns filled so ina
ny responsible trusts Of national character, oil OF
which were faithfully, ably, and judiciously fuhl
led. In military point of view, he has rendered
services far, very far exceeding those performed
Ivy Gen Jackson. We will only refer to The bat
lies of Tippecanoe and the Thames. That the
strong hold he held of the affections of the peo.
pie may he manifest we will state a few particu-
lars connected with his vote ut the Presidential
election of 1885. He was then II volunteer candl
date. No organized body nominated him nor,
strictly speaking, did the opposition to the nation
ally nominated Jackson party organize. His cleo
ton was considered hopeless. At the South, the
opposition nominated Gov. White, of Tennessee,
and the friends of Mr.. Webster supported the
latter, in the New England States. MIR. Webster s
friends in New York and Pennsy lvnnia were so
indignant ut the repusive manner in which his
nomination nv the Legislature of Massachusetts,
had been treated The Vest, that many thousands
of them either threw away their votes, or did not
vote at ALL Had different feeling existed, and
been evipced by his friends in only Pennsylvania
the vote of that great and poicerf,d State would
have been cast in favor of Gen. Harrison, and Sc.
cured his election.
