THE AUTUMN AND ITS LESSONS
All that is earthly must fade This is
an annual lesson, taught by the falling
leaf, and the withering frost, the silence
which pervades the air, and the wreck
and decay of vegetation as each recurring
Autum assumes her reign. Another
Autumn is now upon US. The tassels
of the corn are dead, and the husks of
the standing ears have lost their green
The scythe is shearing the hay-felds of
their last burden. Small yellow leaves
that have exhausted their vitality before
the advent Of the frost, are dropping,
one by one, from the trees. Flower
stalks that but few short weeks since
stood green and glowing, bearing proud
ly up their wealth and floral beauty,
now stand stark and dead. The first
intimations of approaching dissolution
rest upon all vegetation yet amid these
scenes, the fruits Of Autumn are spread
upon every side. Apples benl from the
boughs, nuts wait on the trees for the
loosing fingers of the frost, wains go
creeking home laden with homely roots,
the granries are already filled, and soon,
housed and garnered, the product Of the
year will await the grateful use of man
and animal.
All that is earthly must fade "We
all do fade as the leaf" Man has his
Spring, his Summer, his Autumn, and
his Winter. Some leaves wait not for
the frost, and fall early, but we now
grow crisp and dry with age, and we
who grow golden and glorious in the
frosts Of time, must all alike follow them
to the earth. There are worm -eaten
fruits and blasted corn-cars in the fields
of humanity, as in the fields of vegeta-
ton. The good ones can only find a
place in the store-house Of the great
husbandman. The lesson of autumn
bears upon and illustrates the whole sub
ject Of the close of human life. The
year is but hollow farce without fruit
as the grand result. A human life in
its Autumn, in which is seen no fruit,
betraysa u perversion so foul that it might
make an angel weep, and as the angels
look down upon the world, may they find
graces which blush like apples among
the leaves, characters we'll fll1d out and
clean from all impurity, true wisdom
filling all the store-houses, and the seeds
Of an immortal life perfected, and ready
to be untoldcd in
Those everlasting gardens,
Where angels walk and seraphs are the
! wardens.

Meyers Extract of Rock Rose.

Rock Rose, the principal ingredient in this
valuable medicine, has been long known to
physicians and others, in New Haven and
as one of the best alternatives in the
vegetable kingdom, superior to the far and
widely known Sarsaparilla. Myers Com
pound Extract, one of the incest and most
scientific preparations in the country, has
been tried and found successful in the cure
of many diseases that have baffled the skill
Of some Of the first physicians of our land.
After the principal medicines Of the day
have failed, Scrofula, that dreadful disease;
which shows itself in so many forms, is
quickly and permanently cured. By puri-
flying the whole system, it gives to the pa
tient healthy appearance and good spirits.

HoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND PILLS
AGAIN SUCCESSFUL IN THE CURE OF A BAD
LEG.-Extract of letter from Mr.. Bother
ton, Of Stangrat, near Bootle, January Is,
1851. "To Professor Holloway-Sir-Af-
ter my wife's confinement in 1848, she
caught severe cold, which settled in her
right leg and foot, causing it to swell to an
alarming size, ultimately forming into
about twenty wounds, or ulcers, presenting
a most fearful appearance. The pain she
endured was almost insupportable, and the
good whatever. She therefore resolved to
give your Pills md Ointment n trial, and I
am happy to say they have effected q per-
feet cure"

p6- A Cotton manufacture of the
United States was commenced at Paw
tucket, where Samuel Slater, sixty three
years ago, established the first mill. This
mill is still in operation, running fifty
two looms. There are two other estab-
lishments now running at that place
one built in 1910, having fifty looms,
and one of mammoth size, employing
200 looms, 5000 spindles and $50
hands. The different Cotton manufac-
lures of the place afford employment to
more than 800 operatives.

pA- The rumsellers of New York
have struck for an advance of prices.
AT a meeting recently held, they re-
solved that in consequence of the great
rise in the price of brandy, we, the re-
tail dealers in the article, find it impos-
sible to obtain a living from selling it
at the present price therefore, that we
do now agree, that on and after the first
day of October next, ten cents a glass
shall be charged for brandy, in place
of six and quarter cents"

see a more beautiful and life-like picture
of person with severe attack of the

attributed to Sir Jacob Kilmanzegg, on

" And Sir Jacob, the father, strutted and
bowed,
And smiled to himself, and laughed aloud.
To think of his heiress and daughter
And then in his pockets he made n grope,
And then in the fulness of joy and hope,
Seemed washing his hands with invisible
soap,
In imperceptible water"

DG- Quite serious accident occurred
in Messrs. Babcock & Moss mill, in
this village, on Tuesday morning last.
As one of the operativcs-Miss Rebecca
Place--was passing one of the uprights
her dress was caught and wound up by
the shaft, and she was drawn through q
space, between the upright and post,
of only about six inches. Though no
bones were broken, yet so severe was
the compression that it was feared that
she was fatally injured but it is now
hoped that she will recover.

Ray On Thursday last daughter of
Capt. o. p. Saunders, of this village,
aged about 8 years, while on her way
from school, gathered and ate some of
the seeds of the common henbane. She
was soon seized with violent spasms,
accompanied by swelling of the throat
and chest. For some hours her life was
almost dispaired of, but she is now in a
fair way to recover.

On TAKING OUT YOUR WATCH DUR
ING SERMoN.--This is no imall exploit.
There are many advantages arising from
it In the first place, it will be known
that the man has watch. In the Sec
ond place, he will show that the sermon
has not very much affected him. Thirdly
it will be modest hint to the minister
that he has preached about long enough
and should bring his sermon to close.
Fourthly, it will take up a portion of
the time and attention, so that the SER
mon, certainly, (it not the whole, will
pass by many as the idle wind and be
lost. Filthy, it will show what esti-
mates the man puts on the messages Of
grace. Sixthly, it will abstract the
notice of others around, and turn their
attention from the message in like man
ner. Seventhly, it is an act very much
in harmony with the passage of Scripture
in Amos s: |: "When will the new
moon be gone that we may sell corn !;
and the Sabbath, that we may set forth
wheat :"
