.. AURORA.
 Aurora complained to the Gods, that praised as she was by men, she was so little loved, so little sang and praised her most "Grieve not at thy fate,' said the Goddess of Wisdom; "is it not the same with me? And then," she continued, "look at those mortals who neglect thee, ,and for what rival thou art exchanged. Glance on them as thou streamest forth on thy way; see how they lie mouldering body and soul, in the arms of drunken slumber! Yet hast thou no friends, hast thou not suitors enough! The whole creation cele- brates thy praise. Flowers awaken and clothe them- selves with thy purple beams, as in new bridal beauty. The choir of birds carol forth welcome for thee; and each is seeking some new way to en- joy thy feeting presence. The active farmer, the diligent scholar, never neglect thee; they drink from the cup thy hand extendeth, health and strength, peace and life; thrice glad that they may enjoy thee undisturbed, uninterrupted by the chat tering crowd of sleeping fools. Dost thou consider it no good fortune, to be thus enjoyed and loved without being desecrated 'Tis the highest fortune of love, among Gods and men.'
 
 and may each fair one, pure and innocent as she, ask for Aurora's fortune
 BUSINESS OF NEW YoRK.-The arrivals at New York from Havre and Liverpool, the two great commercial ports of France and England. have averaged something like six ships each day for a fortnight, loaded to their gunwales with every va riety of merchandise. The warehouses in that city are grooming with the bulk of goods they already contain and it this continues in tic ratio dur ing September, the first active business month, is there not danger of fresh commercial disasters and more explosions? The New York Express says the importations from the 1st 10 the 2Oth of Au- gust, amounted to sir millions of dollars, pay ing duties equal to t,co million tscO hundred Mous- G',d dollars! All this, let it be remembered, is gathered under the Tariff of 1s42, which the loco focos said would stop importations and compel di- rect taxation to carry on the Government! E If we had National Bank of some sort the threatened reaction in trade might be averted, and until we do have one, we confess we do not see what IS to give stability to present prosperity or prevent serious revusion some two or three years hence We are now enjoying the Whig po- licy only in part. We must have the benefit the whole of it to make system of business and go- vernment complete.-.N IT. Palladium.

THE REFUGE FROM DEATH.

" Tell me what will life prolong, Right the system when tis wrong, And double charm dispensing, Sooth the organs it is cleansing,'' Thus exclaimed poor dispeptic, Hoping aid, but yet skeptic, One who once like him had suffered, Courteous-his experience preferred; |" Once" said he, "'twas mine to languish Day and night in mortal anguish; Ofdiseases, I'd trio, Piles, dyspepsia, diarrhea, And though thousands I'd expended, Not symptom seemed amended Fulton street, one-twenty five, Sought I, more dead than alive; Who woos Health, there let him seek her, Very soon cried 's Eureka !' For Health her sovereign balm distils, Through PETERS LOZENGES and PILLS.

KENTtJCKY ELECTION.

The returns are all in at Frankfort except from three new counties-Marshall, Perry, and Letcher, which gave 357 Loco majority last year. Owsley for Governor is now ], 5,4O1 ahead. This will proba- ply be reduced by the three counties to little less than 5000, while on Lieutenant Governor and Le- gislature the Wings have about 10000.
 The Hartford Times has an estimate of the result of the Presidential election, prepared by gentle man of candor and more than ordinary sagacity."- It allows Clay seven States and gives Polk 154 GIG more than enough,) leaving Ohio, Tennessee, Lou isiana, Georgia, New Jersey, and Connecticut, doubtful. To make Folks majority, .NeW York, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Targinia are given to him. Now it is .fact that, while our city is full of Loco Foco betters on all former elections there IS nobody here who wants to bet on Folks election, or on his carrying this State, though there are enough who will bet on Pennsylvania or Virginia. Take New York alone out of the Polk column, and about the matter.-Nesc Fork Tribune.
