THE FIRST LEAF OF AUTUMN.

by ELIZABETH oAKES SMITH.
see thee fall, thou quivering leaf,
OF faint and yellow hue;
The first to feel the autumn winds
That, bighting, DER thee blew
Slow-parted from the rocking branch,
see thee floating by,
To brave, all desolate and lone,
The bleak autumnal sky.
Alas, the first, the yellow leaf
How sadly falls it there,
To rustic on the crisped grass,
With every chilly air!
1t tells of those that soon must drop,
All witherd, from the tree,
and it hath wak'd a sadler chord
In dcathless memory.
Thou eddying leaf, away, away,
There's sorrow in thy hue;
Thou sound'st the knel Of sunny hours,
OF buds, and liquid dew
And thou dost tell how from the heart
The blooms of hope decay;
How each one fingers, 10th TO part,
Till all are swept away.

Our GrnutimO others Music,

Thy grandmother said uncle Toby,
addressing himself to young ArabelIa,
Just from London, and who was playing
the battle of Marengo on the piano, thy
grandmother, child said he, used 10
play on a much better instrument than
thine
Indeed said ArabelIa, 'how could it
have been better? you know it is the most
fashionable instrument, and is used by
every body that is any thing
Your grandmother was something,
yet she never saw piano forte
But what was the name of this instru-
menl! had it strings, or was it played
with keys!'
You must give me time to recolect the
name; it was indeed stringed inslru-
ment, but was played by the hand
by the hand alone! How vulgar
but protest | should like to see one, and
papa shall buy mo one when return to
London. Do you think we can obtain
one p
No, you will not find one in London,
but doubtless they may be found in some
of the country towns
How many strings had it! Must one
play with both hands and could one
play double bass! ?
i know not whether it could play dou-
bic bass, as you call it; it was played by
both hands and two strings
Two strings only! surely, you are
testing; how could music be produced by
such an instrument, when the piano has
two or three hundred
Oh, the strings were very long, one
about fourteen feet, and the other might
be heightened at pleasure, even fifty or
more
What a prodigious deal of room it
must take up; but no matter, | will have
mine in the old hall, and papa may have
an addition built to it, for he says shall
not want for any thing, and so does nam
ma. Were the strings struck with little
malets, like the piano, or were they
snapped, like the harpsichoTd!'
Like neither of those instruments, as
| recolIec,; but it produced a soft kind OF
humming music, and peculiarly agreeable
to the husband and relatives of the per-
former
'Oh, as to pleasing ones husband and
relations, that is all Dicky, in the llaut-
ton, you know; but am determined tc
have one at any Tate.-Was it easily
learnt, and was it taught by French OF
Italian masters
1t was easily learnt, but Frenchmer
and Italians scarcely dared show their
heads in our country in those times

Ne,0 Reform Party,--The New York
Herald states that new reform party has
been started in that city, which goes
against all ownership Of lands, houses, or
amy kind of real estate The Herald
says--',heir first movement is to divide
all the public lands among the poor who
can't pay for Them, and we presume that
thei. next movement will be, TO seize up
on the lands of private individuals. This
party, it appears, has started two news
papers, called the Peoples Rights, and
the National Relormer, which no doubt
maintain the agrarian principles Of the
party to its entire satisfaction. The par
" may well be called radical, for il strikes
at the root Of all civilized society, and
would reduce mankind 20 the level Of the
brute. But yet it makes proselytes, and
is said To number two thousand members,
We have heard much Of this leyeling sys-
tem--this desire TO share tie fruits o!
other peoples labor; but we never yet
saw the man who was willing TO level
down to those of inferior fortune. Give
TO each member Of this new reform party
spot of ground and he will Instantly
abandon his doctrine and his party, and
think that there is ssmc virtue III title
deed. We have no apprehension that
such a party can obtain any considerable
footing in this country; for we believe
that there is too much virtue and in,elll'
gence among the people 10 tolerate It's IN

STARTLING FACTS.

HUNDREDS of children and adults are los
11yearly with worms, when some other cause
has been supposed 10 be the true one.
1t is admitted by all doctors that scarce man,
woman or child exist but what are sooner or later
troubled with worms, and in hundreds OF cases,
and sad to relate, supposed fever, scallatina,
cold, or some other ailing carries off the flowers
of the human family-while in truth they die OF
Worms! and these could have been eradcated in
day, by the use of bottle OF KOLMSTOCK'S
VERMIFUGE, at the cost of a quarter of dol

How sickening the thought that these thing
should be-and who can ever forgive themselve
for not trying this WORM EXTERMINATOR
| when they knoao that even if the case was no
worms this remedy could not by any possibility
do hurt-but always good as purgative-let the
disease be what it may. How important then to
| use it, and who will dare take the responsibility
to do without it? Let every parent that is not a
brute, ask themselves this question in truth and
soberness.
Mr.. j. C. RINGOLD, had child very sick,
for near two weeks, and attended bv physician,
without relief, wheE KOLMSTOCK'SV ERMI-
FUGE was given, and next day more than forty
worms were passed, when the child recovered ra
pidly.
A CHILD ola widow woman, living near the
Manhatten Water Works, had dwinded for
month, till near a skeleton, with great dryness of
the mouth, and itching of the nose. humane
lady, who called to provide for the family, sent
Immediately for KOLMSTOCK'S VERNE
FUGE. which brought away great qantites OF
worms for two or three days. and the child grew
better at once, and reganed its full strength in
less than month.

ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.
The Editor OF the Louisville TJourraI
speaks of The annexation of Texas as
follows:
"Threaten US with abolition Let
them abolish slavery as soon as they
please. The North will be delighted
with it as an act of humanity-the South
will gain millions upon millions And
The South will not be long in comprehtnd'
ing Aow that gain aoiU come.
We certainly can not be suspected of
wishing harm to Texas. We wish her
all the success she can have, 1withou,
joining the Union. We wish she may
borrow all the money that she would be
sure to pay back. Let her make what
ever alliances or arrangements she can
make with England, or any other power
under the sun. AboOe all, let her By all
means abolish slarerg.
Inasmuch as Texas can not by possibility
enter the Union, abolition clearly seems
to be her policy. She may then expect
her share of emigration, and though she
will not rival US in cotton, she may be
tranquil, prosperous and respectable"
