INDIAN SUMMER.

There is a time, just ere the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in a revere lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away.
When Summer comes, in mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheaves they bind
And see ifaii is rpened well.
With balmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up, and give
Their sweetest incense ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodland shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones in its grief.
She seeks the shore-old Ocean heaves
In gladness huge his mighty breast,
Prisons his wild winds in the caves,
And basking in their smiles, is blest.
And last old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his scepter and his throne;
With boist'rous hand the trees he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, sitting, flies the plain
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
See miser Autumn hoard his grain
And smiles to think it's all for him.

UNCLE Tom IN ENGLAND. - Mary Hewitt, in
private letter We have just received from her,
thus speaks of the popularity in England Of
Mrs. Stoves admirable book:
"Of course, you are aware of the wonderful
excitement produced here by Uncle Toms Cab
in. Everybody is reading it. Hundreds Of
thousands of copies are in circulation. My
daughter saw bakers boy sitting on her bread
cart in the street reading it. Masters and mis-
tresses read it in the parlor, and their servants
at the same time in the kitchen. High and
low all read it. 1t is acted at our theaters, and
to it, bringing Il believe) Uncle Tom alive into
England" f'iaii p7lnfsa 'aa3
Why cannot some British philanthropist give
us an equally vivid and searching exposure of
the Social wrongs and abuses endured by the
dsinherited and down trodden masses in the
British isles There is ample material, and the
right use of it has almost but not quite, been
made. Jerrolds St. Giles and st. James, May
hew's London Labor and the London Poor,
Critchley Princes Memories Kingsleys Alton
Locke, are all hints in the right directon-and
there are doubtless many others either unknown
to or which do not at this moment occur to US.
Who shall fuse the abundant materials in the
fire of Genius, and give US the British counter
part of Uncle Tom ! 1t would doubtless be
more universally popular here than at home
as Uncle Tom is even more in England than
here. 1t is pleasant to assist at scathing ex-
posure of other peoples sins, especially our
neighbors."

Whom TO MARRY.-When young woman
behaves to her parents in a manner particular
ly tender and respectful, from principle as well
as nature, there is something good and gentle
that may be expected from her, in whatever
condition she may be placed. Were to .ad-
wise friend as to his choice of a wife, my first
counsel would be, "Look out for one distin-
guished by her attention and sweetness to her
parents" The fund of worth and affection in
dicated by such behavior, joined to the habits
of duty and consideration thereby constructed,
being transferred to the married state, will not
fail to render her mild and obliging compan-
ion.

RUINS OF AN ANCIENT AND MAGNIFICENT CITY
AT TINIAN ISLAND, IN THE NORTH PAc1F1c.-
Capt. Alfred K. Fisher of this town, informs us
that when on his last whaling voyage, in the
ship America, of New Bedford (Which was about
8 years ago) he had occasion to visit the island
of Tinian, Gone Of the Ladrone Isands,) to land
some sick men. He stopped there some days.
One Of his men, in his walks about the Island,
came to the entrance of the main street of large
and splendid city, in ruins. Capt. Fisher, on
being informed of the fact, entered the city by
the principal street, which was about three miles
in length. The buildings were all of stone of
a dark color, and Of the most splendid descrp-
ton. In about the centre of the main street
he found IL solid stone columns, 6 on each
side of the the street-they were about 45 or
so feet in height, surmounted by cap-stones of
immense weight The columns were ten feet
in diameter at the base and three at the top
Capt f. THINKS the columns would weigh about
60 or 10 tons, and the cap.stones about ID tons.
One of the columns had fallen, and he had a
fine opportunity to view its vast proportions
and fine architecture. From the principal street
Il large number of other streets diverged.-
They were al! straight, and the buildings were
of stone. The whole of the city was entirely
overgrown with cocoanut trees, which were SO
and 60 feet in height. In the main street
pieces OF common earthenware were found
The island has been in possession of the Span
iards for long time. Six or seven Spanards
resided on the island when Capt. F. was there
They informed him that The Spanards had had
possession about go years-that they took the
island from the Kanackas, who were entirely
ignorant Of the builders or the former inhabit-
ants. When questioned as to the origin of the
city, their only answer was" There must have
been powerful race here long time ago."
Capt. F. also saw on the island immense
lodges of stone, from which the buildings and
columns were evidently erected. Some por
tions of them exhibited signs Of having been
worked. Here is food for speculation. Who
were the founders of this once magnificent
city in the North Pacific, and what has become
of their descendants! Whatever the answer
may be, they were evidently race of very
superior order.

NUTS FROM THE KNICKERBoCKER.

The Oct. number of the Knickerbocker, is
rich and mellow as the month from which it
dates. We gather a. few Of its ripe nuts.
The HAY HARvEsT.--Corn-hu is a
merry festival, but the harvesting of the hay
arouses all the sylvan sympathes, and puts
me in pleasant mood. There is rich broad
meadow before my door, and its distant edges
undulate in shadowy coves over which the
mountain with its waving woods casts deep
shadow. Now it is shorn as neat and trim as
the head of any popinjay. In the burning
noontide from day to day watch the measur-
ed motion of the reapers' arms, the heads and
spears Of the clover and tall grasses as they fall
in regular ranks before the whetted scythes, and
then tossing it on bright tines, and turning it
to be cured by the sun and air. This is clean
work suited alike for patriarchs or boys, and
truly to be envied on cloudy day or when
the sun sinks low. Then have marked the
transfer of the comic heaps into the arms of
the lofty man upon the loaded cart, the ami
mated dialogue and witty rejoinders between
the workman on the ground and him in the
air, as he packs down the fragrant masses be-
meath his feat, and the pleasant pilgrimage
from heap to heap. There is strength and gran
deur in the patient OK, exciting admiration and
almost love, beside well considered keeping
betwixt himself and equipage. How do his
great utility and the cumbrous, bulky masses
which he has to draw, his elephantine move
ment and clumsy grace-the plain but out
spread horns, surmounting his expansive FORE
head, and his big liquid eye, accord with the un-
wieldy cart, with the burdensome yoke which
bows his thick neck and spinal column to the
ground, and with the long goad which draws
forth hollow sound as it is brought down re-
with remorselss violence upon the frontal
bones. And then his vocabulary, which he
understands so well, composed of a few word.
Of Hebraic simplicity: Haw! Buck! Gee =
Haw! Come around | tell ye to haw

Uod bless you, mary, Ior an angel as you

for you, Iwould have given up long ago, but now
my fortune is made"
Breathless with anxiety to hear ALL yet not un-
mindful of bis probable wearied condition; Ma
ry hurried her husband into the little sitting
room, where all the tea things were laid, and be-
gan to pour out the refreshing beverage with a
trembling hand, while Ernest told the history Of
was sent for to old Governor Houston's-the
richest and most influential man, you know, in
the country-and when got there, learned, to
my surprise, that the Governor had been thrown
from his carriage, and was thought to be dying.
All the physicians in the place had been sent for,
but none could aid him. In despair, his wife,
without orders had sent for me. saw his only
chance for life depended on new and difficult
operation, which none of the other physicians
had ever seen before performed. | stated that
| thought it could be done. The old Governor
was a man of iron nerve and quick resolution.
When he heard the others say they could do no
more for him, he determined to commit himself
to my hands. | succeeded beyond all my hopes
even the other physicians were forced to ac-
knowledge my skill, and there is nothing now
but care required to make my patient as well as
ever. On parting, he put this roll of bank notes
in my hand"
Mary was in tears long before her husband
finished his narrative but her heart went up with
thankfuness to Goo, fer having thus interposed
just at the crisis when hope seemed gone.
From that day, Ernest Linwood was made
man. The fame of his operation was in every
ones mouth--by the aid of his patient, now be-
come his patron, he stepped at once into prac.
tice among the best families of the place
Wealth, as well as reputation, flowed in upon him
but he always attributed his success to his wife
whose affection had cheered and sustained him
when out of heart.
There is nothing, we would say like faithful
wife under God, our veal or wo for this life de.
pends upon her. If she is desponding, your
own sanguine spirit catches the infection But
if she is full of hope and energy, her smiles will
cheer you on in the darkest hour, and enable you
TO achieve what you at first thought impossible
tiles. Our success in this world, as well rs oui
happiness, depends chiefly upon our wives. Lee
a man marry one, therefore, "equal to either
fortune," who can adorn his riches or brighter
his poverty, and who under all circumstance
will be truly his hepmate

PAYING DEBTs-One of our religious exchan-
ges has the following strong remarks on this
clinch it.
Men may sophisticatc as they please, they can
never make it right, and all the bankrupt laws
in the universe cannot make it right for them
not to pay their debts. The sin is as clear, and
as deserving church discipline as in stealing or
false swearing. He who violates his promise
to pay, or withholds the payment of debt when
it is in his power to meet his engagements,
ought to be made to feel that in the sight of all
honest men he is a swindler. Religion may be
very comfortable cloak under which to hide
but if religion does not make man deal Justly,
it not worth having
