The Season.

We have, at present, the most beautiful
weather imaginable. The fall is at any
rate our iayorte season. Generally warm
enough to be comfortable, and cool enough
to be healthy and bracing; it mlngIes the
pleasant breeze of summer, with the chilli
ing blast of winter. 1t is also, in the MAN,
more free from sudden and uncomfortable
changes, than the spring. The smiles and
tears of April, are seldom found in any OF
the fall months; and the blows and SHOWS
of winter, do not encounter us, at least IN
this latitude, till wintor has fairly set in'
We are also, more especially, in thissea-
son of the year, free from muddy roads !;
the ground having become hard' compact
and solid, during the summer; both on ac"
count of less amount of moisture, and al
so on account of its more rapid evapora"
tion. True, fall has also, in some things,
its disadvantages; but compared with It's
companions in the track of Time, we think
il is still in the advance.
1t always struck US that this was the
time for marrying. 1t is true that many
pretend to prefer rosy May or june but
we think their reasons good for nothing
Flowers are pretty enough, we have no
objection to them; but we prefer something
more substantial and this is the season
TO lay up beef and Pork, apples and cider
make apple butter, preserves jellies, pick
les, sour-crout, &c. &C., which are procu-
red easier and cheaper now, than IN the
spring, and by the time itarrives, you have
a start in the world. Beside all this, which
is of much importance, it has other advan-
tages. For instance ttCo blankets in cold
night are better than one.

Triumph Of Learning.

Mind constitutes the majesty Of man-virtue
his true nobility. The tide of Improvement
which is now flowing through the land like an.
other Niagara, is destined to roll on downward to
the latest posterty; and it will bear them on its
bosom, our virtues, our vices, our glory or our
shame, or whatever else we may transmit as an
inheritance, 1t, then, in a great measure, de.
pends upon the present, whether the moth of i'm.
morality, Of ignorance, and the vampire of lux.
ury, shall prove the overthrow ofthe republic or
whether knowledge and virtue, like pillars, shall
support her against the whrlwind Of war, am.
btion, corruption, and the remorseess tooth of
time.
The cync may smile at the idea, but there is
perhaps many germ ofgenius now in America,
destined to rise to the pinnacle Of human glory

Letter from GraCeGreenwOOd.

We copy from the New York "Globe and Dem.

ter by Grace Greenwood. After speaking OF
Frederika Bremen, coming to New York and 'ay'
ing that by the women OF America she must be
welcomed, she proceeds
But TO the men of America comes one
whose very name should cause the blood
to leap along their veins-he, the hearls's
brother of freemen all over the world
the patriot, prophet, and soldier, the hero
of the age-Kossuth, the Hungarian!
How will he be received here : How
will the deep, intense, yet mourniul SYM
pathy, the soul felt admiration, the gener-
Gus homage of the country, find express
ion Notin parades nddinners, and pub
lie speeches, for Heavens sake Would
you feast and fete man on whose single
heart is laid the dead, crushing weight of a

night!

meet this glorious exile but were |
young man, with all the early love and
fresh enthusiasm for liberty and heroism, |
would bow reyerently, and silently kiss his
hand. Were a pure and tried statesman,
an honest patriot, | would fold him to my
breast. Were | an old veteran, with the
fire of freedom yet warning the veins whose
young blood oyerhOwed in her cause,
should wish to look on Kossuth, and die
Who can say this man lived in vain p
Though it was not his to strike the shakes
from his beloved land, till she should stand
free and mighty before heaven, has he not
struggled and suffered for her! Has he
not spoken halowed and immortal words
words which have gone forth to the ma
tions, power and a prophecy, which shall
sound on and on, long after his troubled life
is past--on and on, till their work is accom-.
plished in great deeds.--and the deeds be-
come history, TO be read by free men with
quickened breath, and eyes that Tighten
with exultation! And It's a great thing
that Europe, darkcned by superstition and
crushed by despotism, has known another
hero,-.a race of heroes, might say, for the
Hungarian uprising has been startling
and terrific spectacle for kings and empe
rors. And "the end is not yet" There
must be sure, terrible retribution for the

this world-witnessed tragedy. While the

IEaying.

Harkee! Tom, the birds are singing,
See the sun peeps Ger the hill
All around It's bright rays flnglng,
While we sweetly slumber still.
Yes, lis pleasant, in the morning,
When throughout the sUtry night,
Fleas, gna,s, bed bugs, round were swarmIng,
To steal an hour from buzz aud bite.
But, dear Tom, we must be hurrying,
Breakfast Der, away we run,
And the new mown grass stirring,
Make the hay while shines the sun.
o'erand Ger the light grass turning,
Asfboth in playful mood;
While above, the sun is burning
And its heat is scarce withstood,
And there stands the old oak tree, Tom,
Casting round its grateful shade;
To whose spring, how often we. Tom,
Have joyful errand made.
Then at evening, nome returning,
Each gallants a chosen maid;
With his bosom inly burning,
And his silent love repaid.
BY the clasped hands gentle pressure
BY the silent, gentle kiss -
How the heart doats on its treasure -
How it owns the magic bliss
Don't you recollect those days, Tom!
Yes, know, It's long since then;
We have seen the worlds rough ways, Iom'
We were boys, but now are men.
We have seen low vice rewarded,
Virtue sink beneath her load;
But though here she be discarded
We know her Patron to be God

.sMiHmn If Literary Gem.

The LuEerne Democrat, occasionally presents
its readers with some splendid gems Of refined
literature, one Of which, and perhaps the most
sublime we have ever perused, will be found be-
low and TO which we invite the attention Of our
literary readers:
ave are now enjoying the most delight
full season Of the whole year--the October
Iadlan Summer. The days are warm and
sunny, the nights cool and clear, the skies
bright, and the hills variegaled with every
hue and shade, whilst over all the earth is
thrown as a light veil, that delicious autum-
nal haze which seems to screen us from
the too feryid sunshine, and to soften the
light into golden mellowness which in
vests and and pervades all things, and even
seems to cast a shadow upon the human
heart, and makes one feel as though he
were in some great universal church on a
calm sabbath day, and the sweet sunlight
falling in upon him through stained glass
windows, Itis season Of beauty, of rich
and changing beauty. Dame nature seems
to have disrobed herself of her gay sum.
mer holiday costume; and to have put on a
many coloIed undreSS--a sort of invalid
robe, both gaudy and sober. IT'S sea-
son which reminds us all of change.
"Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither al the north winds breath,
Aud stars 10 set but all
Thou hast oil seasons for thine own, Oh Death"
The fading leaves and the withering
flowers are truly emblematic of human life
and human hopes, and it is truly said that
"Hope's gayest wreahs are! made Of earthly
Aow'rs
Things that are made to fade and fade away,
Ere they have blossom'd for few short hours"
And awe all do fade as leaf" Man is but
leafof mortality, that springs, and grows
for a season, perhaps admired, perhaps un-
noticed, lives his little life, and then droops
and dies, and is forgotten. We look upon
the green leaves in the glad spring time,
when in their freshness they fill the very
atmosphere with their profusion, as bright
hopes and fond anticiPations fill the heart
ofyouth. We see them again in the sum-
mer time when they have their full growth
and beauty, and the hopes of manhood
which have been cherished for years are no
less green and promising, and seem just on
the verge of fru'ion. But the unlocked
for frost and bitter disappointment cast
their blight upon them all, and the green
leaf and the buoyant heart turn into the
"sere and yellow" and droop, with still
enough of life and beauty left TO remind us
of what they were, whilst the ever deepen
ing tinge but too truly shadows forth what, |
in time, they both mast withered,
dead.
And it is the season of sadness too, sweet |
but melancholy. We look upon the falling |
leaves and we

The Angel of Our Home
BY c II. HUTCHlNGs.

@There is not an angel added to the Host
Heaven but does its blessed work or earth
those that loved it here "-DtcKENs.
There comes an angel day by day
Into this kcwe Of onrsi
And if we chance abroad to stray
IT'S there among the flowers
Its low, and gentle voice IS heard
By night about our bed,
In many dear familiar word
That minds Us of The dead.
II brighrens all our happiness
And. when dark sorrows come,
Speaks comfort to our hearts, and is
The Angel Of our Home
When first we learned 10 speak Of Death
We felt it by our side
While, blessing Us with parting BREATH
Our own sweet mother died,
# sray'd our unavaiiog tears,
And kis,'d our pale cheeks dry;
Brought hope 10 sooth our lalthles' iea'S'
And pointed towards the sky
Since then, in all our happiness.
And when dark sOrruws come
IT'S ever by our side, and IS
The Angel Of our home
And all our love, so great before,
Since that sad hou: hath grown
Our Angel bids US love the more
The more we feel alone.
1t will not suffer in our mind
One selfish thoughtto stay
One envious wish, or though unkind,
Since our bereavement day,
Sill may it bear US company
Through all our years to come
sit ever in our hearts, and be
The angel Of our home.

Mind your own Business.

We very often hear the remark that iii
a man don't mind his own business, nobody
else will mind it for him." Now, it being
some time since we read Solomon's Pro-
verbs, we don't just exactly recollec', ,wheth'
er he ever made an observation similar or
not. but if he didn't, it's wonder. In any
case however it is saying worthy OF all
acceptation. We are in favour of its ap-
plica,ion in all cases whatsoever, and as
sert upon the best authority, that it has the
most magical effect upon every possible
occurrence, relation, and business in life.
Some people delight in running counlre
to every thing. Signs, omens, and Pro-
verbs, are their utter detestation; and, ac-
cordingly, numbers are daily found, disre-
gardng the maxim contained in the quota
ton, at the beginning of this article; and
attending to every body's business but
their own. The advice contained in our
