AUTUMN EN- LENS.
We do all fade as leaf-ISaah.

How analogous to The life Of man are the
seasons Of the year! Youth with its buoyant
and joyous hopes is its spring time-manhood,
with irs vigor and glory, his summer-old age,
with sobernes and his hoary head lis autumn;
and the decay and final close of his life, his
winter In this analogy, nature has furnished
us with eloquent Instructions, which at this
season Of the year, particularly, are calculat-
ed to excite US TO profitable reflections.
When in the autumn Of the year, we look
abroad and discover the desolatIon which Ii
spreading itself over The brightest beauties Of
the summer, how forcibly we are reminded Of
the rapidity with which time presses onward!
But little time since, and the earth robed in
all the rich magnifcence Of summer. The sun
poured forth it's respendant beams, and from
universal nature assembled songs Of gratitude
and Joy. But how speedily have decay and
gloom succeeded to magufcence and beauty!
The fields no more "rejoice ard blossom as
the rose;" the songsters Of the air have ceased
their melody; The sun shines with enfeebled
rays; and the fading, falling leaves aud autumn
winds, mark the desolalion of the decaying
year.
And do we in this see nothing emblematiO
Of our own fate! Aye: it tells US that the blos-
SONS of our springtime and the pride Of our
summer glory must also fade, and the hearts
which now beat high with hope must cease
forever. Let then the reflection warn US from
unhoIy desires, and lead US 10 stay our hearts
upon him whom the changes Of nature cannot
affect.
But the season we now witness, no. only
awakens reflections concerning ourselves, but
concerning all men living 1t tells that not we
only but all men do ''fade as leaf" There
is something in this reflection that awakons our
sympathy; and though anmOsites and hatreds
may have separated US from some of our fellow
beings yet when, by the language Of the sea-
sons, we are reminded of the great result
which s 10 swallow US all in oblivion, we feel
the littlsness Of such passions. and they grad-
ually sink away from our bosoms, and we
mingle again in the pursuits OF life with tet1-
pers swestened and affections improved.
There is another beautiful reflection suggest
ed by the decayng year. Though the autum-
nal decay of nature is emblematical Of our
own decay and death, yet the annual renewal
of nature is also embemalical of our resur-
rectiou. 1t enables US 10 look beyond the
grave; 10 a more brilliant spring than that
which is past; a spring where flowers Of the
softesI, purost dyes are ever bloomingsever
fair.
Oh! yes, there's nat IRE Of pleasant repose,
Where Joy ever carols and spring ever blows

THE YELLOW FEVER AT NEw-OR-

IHE YELLOW FEVER AT New On
LEANs.-The New-Orleans papers all
agree that in no previous season for
the last ten years have the ravaces
of the yellow fever been so terrible
as at present. The Picayune says
that business is in the main suspend
ed and the principal occupation of
those who have been so fortunate as
to escape the disease, is ministering
to the sick, tending the dying, and
burying the dead 'New-Orleans is
literally shrouded in mourning and
sorrow Still the mortality is con-
fined almost entirely to those who
have recently gone thither from the
North: persons who have become ac-
climated are comparatively safe from
It's attacks.

An Old Mcleod Case.

A venerable and most respected friend has
addressed The following letter 10 us, stating a
case in The Revolutionary history of the coun-
try, which exhibits features analogous 10 that
of Mcleod. We nnile with our correspondent
in hoping that the trial of this person will be
conducted with unprejudiced intelligence:
Gentlemen: 1t is yet uncertain whether Nc
Leod will be acquitted There may be contra
dictory evidence as 10 the material fact OF his
being present al the taking and burning of the
Caroline. Whatever may be the result of the
testimony adduced, hope The Court and Jury
will remember the celebrated case of the Brit
ish soldiers who, before the Revolution, fred
upon the mob in Boston: they were indicted
and tried for murder, but in consequence Of the
able defence of the great patriot, John Adams,
the Court and Jury acquitted them on the ground
OF their having been mere instruments, obliged
TO obey the orders of their commanders. This
Is an American case exactly in point. | hope
there will be found John Adams among the
counsel of the prisoner, and a Judge equally
learned, and Jury equally jus; those of
Massachusetts on the occasion above mention
ed The times were then disastrous, and the
minds of the people much more exasperated
Than they can be at the present moment, even
on the frontiers of the British Provinces.
