The LAST GRoGGERY GoNE.-Passinp
down Main street, day or two ago, we
observed one Of the houses closed. and
a piece Of black rag attached to the door.
On enquiry, we learned that the last H.
censed Groggery in the town, which had
been in decline for some time, had that
morning kicked the bucket Great was
the rejoicing among the "Sons" when the
fact became generally known, and many a
joke was cracked Oh the occasion. The
morning following, an unusual hustle was
observed about an establishment on back
street, that had been for some time deal
ing out the "ardent," without leave or IL
cense, and learned that the keeper, fear
ing the terrors of the law, was gathering
up his plumber as fast as possible, and
about making tracks for a free Sia,e.-
We take pleasure in stating, that there is
not now in the town, single licensed es-
Establishment for retailing spirituous liquor,
and we do not know of house in the
town where the article can be had in
small quantities. We doubt if there is
another town in the State, the same size.
that can say as much. II Palmyra (Mo.)

Why? They did not particle of good

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. :.
And these they met, and even still would dare,
The fierce warm flames proud Albion's ranks could
pour;
Wars thousand varied ills would gladly bear,
If he could lead who led their bands before
But ali! that mighty chicftain was no more!
In the cold icy arms of death he lay;
Wrap't in his armor stain'd with purple gore,
Ills up that steep where he had forc'd his way;
A, whose stern front Britannia's guards had fed
away.
See from the camp his warlike bands depart,
With muisted drums along the strand they go,
With solemn tread which marks their grief of heart
NJ slarins hcarse, nor rageantry, nor show,
To mock The guise of undissemhled woe,
Clean on their ranks as they bend zip that steep,
While from their eyes big tears Of ang, ish flow,
AS they approach the spot where Wolfe does sleep,
And slowly halting there for two great heroes weep
But most for him who was their country's stay,
When Danger hurrd her lghtnings from afar,
When Factious Strife in sad and wrathful day,
To Vengeance rous'd The fiery tiends of war,
And yoked her blood-red pack to Murders car;
There DER oswego's wat'ry plains they pour,
Nor Erie's pool nor Huron's streams deDar,
Their bold career, till on st Lawrence shore,
They halt, aot the SPOIL ard Stake their thirst on
gore. MUsA.

Reoding.--Make it rule to read lit
tie every day, even if it be but single
sentence. A short paragraph will often
afford you profitable source Of reflection
for whole day. For this purpose keep
some valuable book or paper always with
in your reach, so that you may lay your
hand on it at any moment when you are
about the house. We know large fami-
ly that has made itself intimately acquaint-
ed with history, probably more than any
other family in the United States, by the
practice Of having one of the children,
each one taking week by turns, read
every morning while the rest were at
breakfast.

Il Lady in Pan!aioons.-Mrs Swis-
shelm, editress of the Pittsburgh Visiter,
thinks that the wide skirts of women are
impedments in rural exercises, as she
has often Iel, in walking through wet grass
getting over fences, and clambering around
rocks. She does not, however, approve
of her sex wearing the pantaloons, and
says, very emphatically: 1T would be too
humiiating TO be met and mistaken for a
man! We should great deal rather be
arrested as a sheep thief. We shall use
all Our Influence TO preserve mans right
TO his pantaloons invio'ate. They ought
to be his, and his only; for they are too
ugly for any body else 10 wear" There!

exhibit penchant for their husbands in

extract:
A snow had fallen the young folks Of

party to country tavern at some distance
and the interesting widow Lumpkin sat in
the same sleigh, under the same Buffalo
robe with myself.
ooh oh don't ? she exclaimed, as we

the arm and turning her yelled face towards
me, while her little eyes twinkled through
the gauze in the moonlight.

OCTO B E R.

by THE LATE WILLIS GAYLORD CLARK.
Solemn, yet beautiful to view,
Month of my heart! thou dawnest here,
With sad and faded leaves to strew
The Summers melancholy bier.
The moaning of thy winds hear,
AS the red sunset dies afar,
And bars of purple clouds appear,
ObScuring every western star.
Thou solemn month hear thy voice;
1t tells my soul of other days,
When but to live was to rejoice,
When earth was lovely to my gaze!
Oh, visions brighton, blessed hours,
Where are thy living raptures now2
ask my spirits wearied powers
ask my pale and fevered brow!
look TO Nature, and behold
My LIES dim emblems rustling round,
In hues of crimson and of gold
The years dead honors on the ground:
And, signing with the winds, I feel,
While their low piniOns murmur by,
How much their sweeping tones reveal
Orlife and human destiny.
When Springs delghtsome moments shonc,
They came in zephyrs from the West,
They bore the WOODLANDS melting tone,
They stirred the blue lakes CLASSY breast;
Through summer. fainting in the heat,
They fingered in the forest shade;
But, changed and strengthened now, they beat
In storm, DER mountain, glen, and glade.
How like those transports of the breast
When life is fresh and joy is new,
Soft as the halcyon's downy nest,
And transient all as they are true!
They stir the leaves in that bright wreath,
Which Hope about her forehead twines,
Till Grief's hot signs around it breathe,
Then Pleasures lip its smile resigns.
Alas, for Time, and Death, and Care,
What gloom about our way they fling!
Like clouds in Autumn's gusty air,
The burial-pageant of the Spring:
The dreams that each successive year
Seemed bathed in hues of brighter pride,
At last like withered leaves appear,
And sleep in darkness side by side!

another, occupied seats adjoining each

The latter gentleman was addicted 10 nap

Mr. Given one day addressed him in
