THE GRAVE OF HARRISON.

The editor of the Southerh Christian Advocate has given pleasing sketch of his journey from Charleston to attend the Convention at Louisville. Passing over the former part of his journey, we will accompany him on the trip from Cincinnati to Louisville, on the mail route--the only object to attract the travellers attention being the grave of Harrison. He says of that spot:
 "I was little inclined to sight seeing on the pas sage to Louisville. One object desired to see.- 1t was the residence and grave of Harrison-they are one in interest at least. To accomplish this object with more certainty, ascended the upper deck at once, and waited with eager interest, our approach to the melancholy place in which were buried the hopes of great multitude, whose sui. frages had raised him to the most exalted station of honor and responsibility known among men.
 As we neared the place, dear to SO many hearts, and rendered sacred by 90 many associations, there was; striking manifestation of very common and prevailing interest-and, the grave-the house passed from every lip az these objects broke on the sight of the earnest spectators. Silently the crowd of travellers had gathered to those parts of the boat from which the first, least obs,ructed and latest views of the home and last resting place of the honorel man might be had. The stiffness of a deep and absorbing sentiment seemed to prevade every bosom-they gazed in silence or spoke in whispers. In descending the river, the grave stands prominently in view, as it does until the whole scene is lost to the eight in the winding of the river The house stands on a much lower spot than the grave, and is not fairly until right abreast of it. It is fair and comedy mansion, not splendid, but sufficient for one whose true residence is in the hearts Of his countrymen. The grave stands on an elevated summit of lofty hill within a small enclosure. l may not attempt to describe this scene, or the feelings it inspired in my own and the breast of others. pared my head to the vehement sun and fierce wind while passing the grave of the lamented Harrison, and thought of the strange providence that called him home at a pc. riod 50 full of interest to the destiny of this great and growing nation. God is just; all his works are done in righieousness and truth. T felt this and turned from the scene have so faintly descf- bed satisfied that submission to God is no less the duty of the Christian than t is of the politician"

FOLIAGE OF OUR FORESTS.

English travellers often speak of the beauty of the American forests in autumn, representing that the old world has nothing equal to them in the va riety and comingling of colors Some of the lovers of nature go into our woods: and gathering the prettiest leaves press them tor preservation Soon after Mir. Everett, our present minister to St. James, went to England, his lady and daughter went to party consisting of the nobility, wearing wreath of our forest leaves in fine state of preservation.
 The wreaths attracted the admiration of all, and SO strong was the admiration of them, that Mrs Everett was asked where she procured the wreath. She replied that it was made Of American leaves in their natural state. The English could not ere dit this statement, but asserted that the leaves artificial. To convince them of the actual state of the leaves, Mrs. E. sent 10 Boston, and the next fall, the most varegated of our forest leaves were sent to England. as presents to Mrs. Els incredu. lous friends.
