And tho no leaves are fallen from the trees,

All white beneath your feet, seem tlnkllne bells
Full Of the drowsy murmur of the tide;

To pour song OF mournlna from your lhroats,
For hieier even than the reign Of kings,
Is your swift booming; cease your busy hum;
Droop summer insects; for September's come
To Gloss your wings.
Now hours and days
Go rolling by, and weeks away recede,
So noiselessly, that we may scarcely read
The calm slow change OF nature, as we
Until the speeding season yeilows Ger, lgaze,
And we look round for what was green beotore,
With fond amaze.
Still, need we sigh
That bright season passes on its way,
While newness only springs from old decay
Why mourn we over what has fallen
why
While the old lesson chases us from youth,
Unheeded till we bow before It's truth,
That all must die!
Yet are there some
Bright hues of summer left to gid the scene;
And long shall linger ye, the summer green,
While DER the glowing land the drowsy

If in this country Of locomotives, railroad

of the first cutting of cottonwood, he
hews an oblong block, through the centre
of which he bores and burns a hole for
the axleree; he next digs, you cannot
say cuts, two pieces from the same tree
forming them into segments of circle,
which he pins to the sides of the alore-
said oblong mass by means of long wood
en- pegs. The wheel is now finished.
Should it not happen TO be round it is OF
little c0nsequence-lt is near enough that
shape for all Mexican purposes. From
the same wood he next cuts his aXletree
and the body of his cart, the latter iasten-
cd together by raw hide. Then comes
the tongue. which is also dug from the
same source whence came the wheels,
and the vehicle is finished. When in
motion, the wheels stagger, wabble. and

Advice to Young l.eu.

There appears in one of those small
country papers 10 which we recently adj
verled, the following admirable letter by
Mr.. Carlyle, author OF Past and Present,
. Heroes and Hero-W Worship, and other
well known publications. 1t was address
sed, says our authority, to a young man
who had written to Mr.. Carlyle desiring
his advice as to choice of reading, and,
it would appear also, as to his conduct in
general. Ii is now, we believe, printed
for the first time: and we most earnestly
recommend it to the attention of ouI
youthful readers, as containing advice OF
the most valuable and practical descrip.
uon, and pregnant with truths with which
they cannot be too well acquainted. The
Young are too much inclined to be disSat-
isfed with their actual condition, as to
neglect their immediate duties in vain as
pirations after others beyond their lot ;
and they need the monitions Of such a
kind, but vigorous and emphatic adviser
as Mr.. Carlyle, and 10 have it impressed

1t would give me true satisfaction could
any advice of mine contribute TO forward
YOU in your honorable course of self i'm

taught me that advice can profit but little;
that there is good reason why advice is

rightly given. No man knows the state
of another; 1t is always TO some more or
less imaginary man than the wIsest and
most honest adviser is speaking.
As TO the books which you, whom ]
know so little of, should read, there Is
hardly anything definite can be said. For
one thing you may be strenuously advised
to keep reading. Any good book, any
book that is wiser than yourself, will teach
you something's great many things, in
directly and directly, if your mind be
open to learn. This old counsel of
Johnson's is also good, and universally
applicable: " Read the book you do hon
estly feel wish end desire to read. y
The very wish and curiosity indicates
that you, theu and there, are the person
likely 10 get good Of it. Our wishes
are presentiments of our capabilities; )"
that is a noble saying, Of deep encourage
ment to all true men; applicable 10 our
wishes and efforts in regard to reading as
TO other things. Among all the objects
that look wonderful or beautiful TO you,
follow with fresh hope the one which
looks wonderlullcst, bcauiliullest. You
will gradually find, by various trials,
which trials see that you make honest,

you are to discriminate carefully between

MISSOURI ELECTION.

We publish table to-day, giving the
result of the late election as far as heard
from, compared with the result of the cleo
ton of 1912, and showing the wing and
loco gains in the different counties.
The returns for Governor and Congress
men, we do not deem of sufficient inter-
est to lumber our columns with. Edwards
will be elected Governor by majority of
from four 10 five thousand. The Conven-
ton candidates for Congress will be re-
turned by larger majority. Sims, it is
generally conceded, will be the foremost of
the Independents, and will be elected in
consequence of the death of Mr.. Parsons.
STATE SENAToRs.-As far as heard
from, the wings have elected one, and the
locos four Senators.
SoFTs.-As far as heard from, the fol.
lowing are the counties which have chosen
Soft, or anti-Benton representatives.
One in Clinton, one in Scott, one in St.
Genevieve, one in Holt, one in Shannon.
Col. Richmond, of Marion, is hard, but
will obey instructions.

ELECTION NEWS.

1LLIKoIs.-The result OF the election this
year is about the same as il was in 1872 The
legislature will be locofoco. Congressman, six
locos and one Wing. The Wing, Mr. Baker.
is elected from the district now represented by
the Hon. John J. Hardin. He is thorough.
going Wing, and man OF talents-equa to a
bakers dozen OF locos.
lsDrANA.--SuHicient returns have been re-.
ceived to insure the Legislat ure to the Wings.
United States Senator is to be elected by the
legislature next winter, and the legislature being
Wing, Wing Senator will be chosen.
KENruoKY.--As far as heard from, Owsley
is ahead OF Butler about six thousand, and will
be elected by majority Of from ten to fifteen
thousand. Butler outruns the question in great
many counties. In several counties where Wings
were elected to the Legislature, Butler received
majorties. He is man OF very popular man.
ners and an excellent stumper: Owsley is the
reverse in these two essential traits in political
canvass--but man Of sterling worth and ability.
NORTH CARoLINA.-Bu two or three counties
heard from.
Illinois has gone against US now, and so she
did in 1910, yet we believe she will be with us
in the Fall. The other three States mentioned
above, we look upon as certain for Mr.. Clay.
Let no one feel at all uneasy, should the Wing
vote not come up to Harrison's vote in 1910.
So large a vote cannot reasonably be expected
in State election; we do not believe as large
a vote will be polled in November, as was in
1910.

cannon and powder ready to celebrate the
downfall of whiggery, so soon as the cleo

when the result of the election reached

MAKE WAY FOR PENNSYLVANIA.

The subscribers, citizens Of Northumberland
borough and Point township, heretofore acting
with the Locoloco party, and as many Of us as
were old enough, supporters Of Martin Van
Buren, in 1910, do hereby publicly renounce
our adherence to that party, and what we con.
slider its destructive policy. We do this, not
through caprice, or the idle within Of the mo-.
ment, but from settled conviction, that upon
the election Of Clay and Frelinghuysen, and the
permanent establishment OF great leading meas.
ure-lhe Protective Tariff, depend the welfare
and the prosperity Of the entire Union, and
most especially Of Pennsylvania. And being
convinced by evidence the most incontestble,
that James X. Polk, and the great mass OF his
party, are ferceIy and bitterly opposed to the
tariff of '42, we hereby most fearlessly avow our
determination, calmly and deliberately formed,
to oppose with all our might, the aforesaid James
X. Polk and his party, and to support, with the
zeal Of honest intentions, the ilusrious advocate
Of American lndustry-HENRY CLAY.
And further believing that change in the ad
ministraiion Of the State Government, is essential
to the well-beng Of this Commonwealth; and
melted by spirit Of gratitude towards one, who
in the hour OF need and danger, risked his life
and pledged his fortune for his country, we are
also resolved to give our support TO the honest
farmer and brave old soldier-General MARKLE.
And to save the LEADERS OF the party, we have
abandoned, any further trouble on our account
we would admonish them, that all their efforts
to "whip us back into the traces" must prove
utterly vain and fruitless. Our fathers fought
for their country in rs, and we strike for ours
in ID
